In the context of the globalization of human capital, this thesis examines the role of CEOs with international experience, known as returnee CEOs. The first essay argues that that CEOs’ international expertise is acquired at the opportunity cost of local social capital, such as political and business ties, which is more critical than expertise in transition economies with weak legal institutions. Based on the sample of 2847 CEOs appointments in China, I find that returnee CEOs are associated with inferior performance, lower market reactions to appointment announcements and an adverse regulatory environment. The negative relation disappears when social capital is acquired, regional legal institutions are strong or returnees’ international expertise is in demand. Exploiting an exogenous increase in the supply of returnee talent as a result of new provincial policies, I find the results consistent. The second essay examines the returnee CEOs in newly public entrepreneurial firms that are in transition period. I propose that returnee CEOs possess the tacit knowledge of foreign advanced legal institutions, which can help entrepreneurial firms overcome the formalization challenges they face in getting listed. The results based on 355 newly public Chinese entrepreneurial firms indicate that returnee CEOs, especially those who have returned from countries with advanced legal institutions are associated with superior post-IPO performance. In addition, foreign venture capitals (VCs) are found to strengthen the positive impact of returnee CEOs, especially when both VCs and CEOs are from countries with advanced institutions. In the third essay, I examine returnee CEOs’ managerial decision of listing location. Based on the sample of IPOs of Chinese entrepreneurial firms, I find that returnee CEOs are more likely to undertake foreign IPOs, especially for entrepreneurial firms operating in high-tech industries, until the credibility crisis of US-listed Chinese firms was triggered by Muddy Water Research in 2011. Overall, this thesis provides original evidence on the impact of international experience of CEOs and makes important implication on the benefits realization of brain gains in countries with weak legal institutions.

abstract: Advancing sustainable food systems requires holistic understanding and solutions-oriented approaches that transcend disciplines, so expertise in a variety of subjects is necessary. Proposed solutions are usually technically or socially oriented, but disagreement over the best approach to the future of food dominates the dialogue. Technological optimists argue that scientific advances are necessary to feed the world, but environmental purists believe that reductions in consumption and waste are sufficient and less risky. Life cycle assessment (LCA) helps resolve debates through quantitative analysis of environmental impacts from products which serve the same function. LCA used to compare dietary choices reveals that simple plant-based diets are better for the environment than diets that include animal products. However, analysis of soy protein isolate (SPI) demonstrates that certain plant-based proteins may be less preferable for the environment than some unprocessed meats in several categories due to additional impacts that come from industrial processing. LCAs' focus on production risks ignoring consumers, but the food system exists to serve consumers, who can be major drivers of change. Therefore, the path to a sustainable food system requires addressing consumption issues as well. Existing methods for advancing sustainable food systems that equate more information with better behavior or performance are insufficient to create change. Addressing food system issues requires sufficient tacit knowledge to understand how arguments are framed, what the supporting content is, the findings of primary sources, and complex and controversial dialogue surrounding innovations and interventions for food system sustainability. This level of expertise is called interactional competence and it is necessary to drive and maintain holistic progress towards sustainability. Development strategies for interactional competence are informed by studying the motivations and strategies utilized by vegans. A new methodology helps advance understanding of expertise development by assessing levels of expertise and reveals insights into how vegans maintain commitment to a principle that influences their daily lives. The study of veganism and expertise reveals that while providing information to debunk fallacies is important, the development of tacit knowledge is fundamental to advance to a stage of competence. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Sustainability 2015

abstract: Recently, it was demonstrated that startle-evoked-movements (SEMs) are present during individuated finger movements (index finger abduction), but only following intense training. This demonstrates that changes in motor planning, which occur through training (motor learning - a characteristic which can provide researchers and clinicians with information about overall rehabilitative effectiveness), can be analyzed with SEM. The objective here was to determine if SEM is a sensitive enough tool for differentiating expertise (task solidification) in a common everyday task (typing). If proven to be true, SEM may then be useful during rehabilitation for time-stamping when task-specific expertise has occurred, and possibly even when the sufficient dosage of motor training (although not tested here) has been delivered following impairment. It was hypothesized that SEM would be present for all fingers of an expert population, but no fingers of a non-expert population. A total of 9 expert (75.2 ± 9.8 WPM) and 8 non-expert typists, (41.6 ± 8.2 WPM) with right handed dominance and with no previous neurological or current upper extremity impairment were evaluated. SEM was robustly present (all p < 0.05) in all fingers of the experts (except the middle) and absent in all fingers of non-experts except the little (although less robust). Taken together, these results indicate that SEM is a measurable behavioral indicator of motor learning and that it is sensitive to task expertise, opening it for potential clinical utility. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Biomedical Engineering 2018

Cette étude examine si les sites historiques pourraient être considérés comme des biens publics ou non. Il étudie aussi les caractéristiques d'un site d’être considéré comme un bien public mondial. Considérant les sites historiques comme biens publics exige différent type de planification et gestion car ces sites sont généralement gérés par les gouvernements et les gouvernements engagent des coûts élevés pour leur restauration et leur entretien. Par conséquent, il serait important d'évaluer la valeur des différents sites de prioriser la restauration de ces sites. Donc, dans cette recherche différents types de valeurs générées par des sites historiques a été étudié et la méthode la plus appropriée pour évaluer la valeur totale des sites a été proposé. Ensuite, une étude empirique a été réalisée en constituant des données originales pour l'évaluation de la valeur du site du mausolée de Ferdowsi en Iran et la valeur totale du site ainsi que ses sous valeurs a été évaluée. / This study considers whether historic sites could be considered as public goods or not. It also studies the characteristics of a site to be considered as a global public good. Considering historic sites as public goods demands different kind of planning and management as these sites are usually are managed by Governments and Governments incur high cost for their restoration and maintenance. Therefore, it would be important to assess the value of the different sites to prioritize restoration of these sites. To this mean, in this research different kind of values generated from historic sites has been considered and the most proper method in order to assess the total value of the sites has been proposed. Then an empirical study has been carried out by constituting original data for the value assessment of the Ferdowsi mausoleum site in Iran and the total value of the siteas well as its sub values has been assessed.

O presente trabalho procura avaliar a atuação de parte deste grupo de ativistas jurídicos que se organizam em torno de associações. O foco da análise é na maneira com que os agentes utilizam estes espaços de organização coletiva para captação de capital simbólico utilizado tanto em disputas internas no campo jurídico quanto em disputas no campo da política do Estado. A partir desta análise foi possível fazer uma caracterização do associativismo na magistratura, tendo a Associação Juízes para a Democracia (AJD) como objeto empírico para avaliação de um tipo diferente de associativismo quando comparado a outras associações mais antigas de atuação no país. O trabalho analisa também o associativismo da magistratura por meio do uso de estratégias internacionais para obtenção de legitimidade social nas ações de militância política de seus agentes. Neste sentido, enfocam-se os efeitos da internacionalização da expertise jurídica européia na atuação associativista dos juízes brasileiros através da estratégia internacional de militância pelos direitos humanos.

Healthy eating has become an important subject in society, particularly in the media. Food has always been a complex area but in recent years it has become even more distinct. Based on a critical discourse analysis, the purpose of this study is to examine and disclose what discourses that appear in articles regarding dietary counselling in three swedish health magazines, ToppHälsa, MåBra and Womens Health &amp; Wellness. Analyzing three articles in each magazine we identified several discourses. The most prominent is the discourse about wellbeing. The majority of the articles reproduce this discourse by associating healthy eating with wellbeing. As the research field is limited, this study contributes with findings in a area that still needs further research.

Among other discursive possibilities, the expert-psychiatrist seeks to answer, to the Judge of Law, if a given subject can be considered criminally attributable or not. This research is based on the Foucauldian understanding of the relationship between apparatuses and the production of subjects. More specifically, we analyse the articulation between the legal and psychiatric knowledge, materialized in the psychiatric investigation apparatus, which produces of an abnormal subject. In which ways has the psychiatric investigation apparatus outcomes, in the state of Goias, an alliance between the legal and psychiatric knowledge? Based on this questioning, this paper seeks to problematize the production of psychiatric expertise reports in the scope of Criminal Law in the state of Goias. This problematization is made about psychiatric expertise, legal texts and technical materials produced in both forensic and psychiatric fields. The analyses we do are delimited in time since the establishment of the Brazilian Penal Code of 1940 to actuality. This research is qualitative and uses the genealogical perspective of Michel Foucault. Besides the methodological question, we consider the theoretical production of Foucault about the psychiatric expert device. In the analysed data, the performance of the disciplinary power and the power of normalization is verified. The analysed materials evidenced the relevance conferred to moral and behavioural factors for the diagnostic definition of the abnormality. / A Perícia Psiquiátrica Forense visa ao fornecimento de subsídios para as decisões no âmbito da justiça. Dentre outras possibilidades discursivas, o perito-psiquiatra busca responder, ao Juiz de Direito, se um dado sujeito pode ser considerado imputável criminalmente ou não. Esta pesquisa tem como referencial de análise a perspectiva foucaultiana acerca da relação entre dispositivos e a produção de sujeitos. Neste trabalho, é analisada a articulação entre os saberes jurídico e psiquiátrico, materializada no dispositivo pericial psiquiátrico, o qual é produtor de um sujeito anormal. De que maneiras o dispositivo perícia psiquiátrica tem funcionado, no contexto goiano, enquanto efetivação da aliança entre os saberes jurídico e psiquiátrico? A partir desse questionamento, este trabalho tem o objetivo de problematizar a produção de laudos resultantes de perícias psiquiátricas no âmbito do Direito Penal no estado de Goiás. Essa problematização é possível a partir da análise de perícias psiquiátricas, textos legais e materiais técnicos produzidos no âmbito forense e psiquiátrico. O recorte temporal das análises delimita-se a partir da instituição do Código Penal de 1940 e estende-se até a atualidade. Esta pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo e utiliza-se do método genealógico de Michel Foucault. Além da questão metodológica, considera-se a produção teórica de Foucault acerca do dispositivo pericial psiquiátrico. Verifica-se, nas fontes analisadas, a atuação do poder disciplinar e do poder de normalização. Os materiais analisados evidenciam a relevância conferida a fatores de ordem moral e às condutas para a definição diagnóstica da anormalidade.

Neste trabalho articulamos as noções psicanalíticas de transferência, transferência de trabalho, saber e conhecimento à nossa prática em um grupo terapêutico heterogêneo. O Grupo Mix é um campo de linguagem que permite e facilita a circulação de crianças em diversas posições subjetivas (psicóticas, autistas e neuróticas) e crianças em diversas posições discursivas (abrigadas, moradoras de comunidades de baixa renda etc.). Como um campo de linguagem, ele é um espaço fecundo para o estabelecimento de relações transferenciais. A transferência pode localizar-se nas relações analista-paciente, professor-aluno e terapeuta de grupo-criança. Estamos propondo, porém, que a transferência de trabalho no grupo terapêutico opere, sobre o adulto, como um modo de fazê-lo endereçar seu desejo para o Outro. Ao assistir a este endereçamento do olhar do adulto para o Outro, ainda que este movimento não seja explicitamente falado, a criança conhece certo tipo de relação com o saber que pode ser inspiradora para ela. Baseando-se na afirmação de Lacan (2003, p. 555) de que a transferência é amor que se dirige ao saber articulamos nossa prática com a teoria nos questionando se a transferência de trabalho, que é um desfecho possível do amor de transferência na análise e que resulta em uma maneira de o adulto se posicionar frente a seu fazer, pode produzir, em um contexto não analítico (um grupo terapêutico com crianças) a emergência da relação com o saber e com o conhecimento. A relação com o saber e com o conhecimento dizem respeito também ao campo educativo, com o qual dialogamos neste trabalho, inserindo-o na interface psicanálise-educação. A metodologia utilizada foi a do exercício de articulação teóricoprático, psicanaliticamente orientado, ou seja, é uma reflexão teórica da experiência clínica. Neste trabalho, buscamos demonstrar, por meio da leitura de fragmentos clínicos extraídos do trabalho do Grupo Mix, que a transferência de trabalho, que sustenta um fazer criativo, autoral e singular do adulto em sua prática, pode ser uma fonte inspiradora para a criança. Conclusão que não cessa de se reabrir, pois está viva e em constante processo de transformação / In this paper, we articulate psychoanalytic concepts of transference, transference of work, knowledge and expertise to our practice in a heterogeneous group therapy. The «Grupo Mix» is a language field that enables and facilitates the movement of children in various subject positions (psychotic, neurotic and autistic) and children in different discursive positions (sheltered, living in low-income communities, among others). As a field of language, it is a fruitful area for the establishment of transference relationships. The transference may be located in the relationships of analyst-patient, teacher-student and group therapist-child. We propose, however, that the transference of work in the therapeutic group operates on the adult, as a way to make him address his desire to the Other. By watching this addressing of the adult sight to the Other, even if that movement is not explicitly stated, the child knows a type of relationship with knowledge that can be inspiring for him/her. Based on the statement of Lacan (2003, p. 555) that the transference is the love that is directed to learn\", we articulate our practice with the theory and we question ourselves whether the transference of work, which is a possible outcome of love transference in the analysis and it results in a way that the adult positions himself facing his doing, it may produce, in a non-analytical context (a therapeutic group with children) the emergence of the relationship with the expertise and with the knowledge. The relationship between knowledge and expertise also concerns the educational field, with which we dialogue in this research, and in this sense, this paper fits in the psychoanalysis - education interface. The methodology used was the exercise of theoretical-practical articulation, psychoanalytically oriented, it means, it is a theoretical reflection on the clinical experience. In this research, we intended to demonstrate, through the reading of clinical fragments extracted from the work of «Grupo Mix», that the transference of work that sustains the creative process, authorial and unique of the adult in his practice, can be a source of inspiration for the child. Conclusion that never ceases to reopen once it is alive and in constant process of transformation

Por meio desse pensamento, todo e qualquer projeto de arquitetura que fosse digno de relevância seria visto como o produto do "talento nato" do arquiteto. Entretanto, nos últimos sessenta anos, pesquisas que investigam os processos cognitivos possibilitaram um novo entendimento de como se dá o processo de criação. Nesse contexto, a psicologia da cognição tem auxiliado a compreensão das ações cognitivas realizadas durante o processo de concepção de projeto, e também o papel que os meios de representação possuem na materialização de idéias e na aquisição de conhecimentos. Paralelamente, estudos recentes têm apontado a importância dos croquis realizados pelos arquitetos no momento em que concebem suas propostas arquitetônicas. A partir desses pressupostos, duas questões se apresentam: de que maneira os croquis têm a capacidade de contribuir na formulação de hipóteses e soluções de projeto, e como eles se inserem na intricada rede de conexões existentes nas ações cognitivas durante o processo de criação? Evidentemente que muitas dessas conexões ocorrem no interior da mente dos arquitetos, o que dificulta sua identificação de maneira adequada. Contudo, importantes ações resultantes dos processos cognitivos podem ser analisadas a partir dos registros gráficos realizados durante o processo de projeto. Por meio de procedimentos claros, baseados em protocolos de análise, é possível identificar e refletir sobre a importância que os croquis de concepção possuem no desenvolvimento da expertise e da criatividade em arquitetura. Para tanto, foram selecionados seis arquitetos, com diferentes tempos de imersão profissional, para realizar um projeto de arquitetura. Eles foram monitorados em laboratório por meio de gravações em áudio e vídeo, e todo o material resultante foi digitalizado e pormenorizadamente analisado nesta pesquisa. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que os croquis de concepção catalisam ideias, potencializam a criatividade e corroboram sua importância como um meio eficaz para a solução do projeto. Portanto, esta pesquisa contribui para o debate sobre a criatividade e a prática de projeto em arquitetura, e os fatores que fundamentam a aquisição da expertise / Abstract: Until recently much of the understanding of creativity was performed from the spectrum of inspiration. Through this thinking, any architectural project that was worthy of relevance would be seen as the product of "talent" of the architect. However, in the last sixty years, researches investigating the cognitive processes enabled a new understanding of how the process of creation takes place. In this context, the psychology of cognition has aided the understanding of cognitive actions performed during the project design, and also the role that the ways of representation in the materialization of ideas and knowledge acquisition. In addition, recent studies have pointed out the importance of sketches made by the architects when they design their architectural proposals. From these assumptions, two questions up surge: how do sketches have the ability to contribute to the formulation of hypotheses and design solutions, and how do they fit into the intricate network of connections existing in the cognitive actions during the creation process? Of course, many of these connections occur within the minds of architects, which complicates their identification properly. However, important actions resulting from cognitive processes can be analyzed from the graphic depictions made during the design process. Through clear procedures, based in protocols of analysis, it is possible identifying and reflecting about the importance that design sketches have in the development of expertise and creativity in architecture. Therefore, six architects were selected, with different professional immersion time, to realize an architectural project. They were monitored in the laboratory through audio and video recordings, and all the resulting material was scanned and analyzed in detail in this research. The results show that the sketches catalyze ideas, enhance creativity and confirm its importance as an effective way for solving the project. Therefore, this research contributes to the debate on creativity and design practice in architecture, and the factors that underlie the acquisition of expertise / Mestrado / Artes Visuais / Mestre em Artes Visuais

A partir d'un cadre théorique pragmatique, cette recherche étudie le rôle des concours professionnels de café dans la formation d'un nouveau régime de goût (1) et dans l'émergence depuis le début des années 2010 du marché des coffee shops en France (2). Plus particulièrement, il s'agit de comprendre comment les concours influencent les pratiques de préparation et de service des baristas, d'abord lors de la compétition puis au quotidien dans leurs établissements. En d'autres termes, l'enjeu et de saisir comment une situation non-marchande performe une situation marchande. Une enquête ethnographique de deux ans et demi a été réalisée. Elle s'appuie sur des observations participantes et non­participantes réalisées lors des concours et dans les coffee shops, sur des entretiens avec baristas, juges et organisateurs de concours ainsi que sur une analyse de données secondaires. Les résultats de l'enquête montrent que les juges de concours produisent un discours normatif qui orchestre de manière douce la manière dont les candidats baristas préparent et servent le café. Ce discours normatif se diffuse hors de la situation non-marchande et influence les pratiques quotidiennes des baristas, qu'ils aient ou non participé aux concours. Non seulement le discours normatif des experts modèle le marché naissant des coffee shops, mais il modèle aussi trois marchés connexes : le marché des équipements, le marché des formations et le marché du travail des baristas. Cette thèse contribue à la littérature B2B sur la performation des marchés, à la littérature marketing d'inspiration pragmatique sur le goût et à la littérature sur l'expertise. / Building on a pragmatic theoretical framework, this research investigates the role of professional contests in a new taste regime elaboration ( 1) and in the French coffee shops market emergence since 2010 (2). More specifically, the goal is to understand how contests influence baristas' coffee preparation and service practices during championships first, and then baristas' mundane practices in coffee shops. In other words, I aim at understanding how a non-market situation shapes a market situation. A two and half years ethnography has been done. The inquiry is based on participant and non-participant observations in both coffee contests and coffee shops, on interviews with baristas, judges and contests organizers, and on a secondary data analysis. Results show judges produce a normative discourse that softly orchestrates the way baristas prepare and serve coffee. Such a normative discourse spreads outside the non-market situation and shapes baristas' mundane practice whether they participate to the championship or not. Experts' normative discourse shapes the emerging coffee shop market but also three related markets: the equipment market, the training market and the barista job market. This dissertation contributes to the B2B literature about market performation, to the pragmatic literature about taste and finally to the literature about expertise.
