This thesis is concerned with economic development in municipalities Stachy, Vacov and Zdíkov. Development of rural regions should be paid attention, because the Czech Republic is 90% made ??up of municipalities that have less than 2000 inhabitants. The development is made manifest not only in the villages themselves, but also leads to development of the region, which has consequences for the entire country.

Effective and efficient use of public resources has a vital importance for Turkey, as for all countries. To serve this purpose, public financial management was reformed and performance budgeting system was begun to be implemented in Turkey. In order performance budgeting system to be properly put into practice, the system should have been well designed, regulations should have been adequately prepared and necessary information, guidance and support should be provided to the implementers. In this study, the implementation of performance budgeting system in Turkey was investigated from the perspective of public administrations under general budget and problems in the system were identified. Comments, experiences and suggestions of administrations were obtained via questionnaires and interviews, and analyzed. Additionally, regulatory legal documents and reports of administrations prepared within the performance budgeting concept were also investigated. In order to provide constitution of a more properly designed system and more easy and smooth implementation, to obtain a well adopted system by the implementers and to get results of better quality, proposals were put forward corresponding to the identified problems. Integrated analytic network process with a strategic resource allocation model proposal is presented to be used in update of performance programs in the aim of minimizing the deviations from targeted performance within budget constraints. The proposed model is implemented for the Strategy Development Unit of the Undersecretariat of Treasury.

本文主要研究臺灣購買公益彩券長期之變化以及購買公益彩券家庭的特性，並探討各縣市購買公益彩券的概況。運用行政院主計總處2002年至2010年「臺灣地區家庭收支調查報告」的家庭所得及支出等資料，將購買公益彩券與所得之間做連結。首先，將全體家庭依可支配所得高低排序分組，發現購買公益彩券支出與可支配所得呈現正相關，然而從長期的角度觀察，各組購買公益彩券支出有逐年下降的趨勢；其次，以每戶家庭每一成年人平均購買公益彩券支出為排序分組，發現購買公益彩券支出愈多的家庭，其戶長以男性為主、年紀較輕、教育程度較高，且以從事第三級產業的比率較高；綜觀長期資料，戶長年齡及教育程度呈現逐年增加的趨勢，而戶長為女性的比率有逐漸攀升的情形。 觀察各組購買公益彩券家庭成員特性，以男性所占比率較高，但長期來看，各組女性比率有逐年上升的趨勢；就年齡而言，在2002年至2007年呈現的情況是購買公益彩券支出與年齡呈現反向關係，而在2008年至2010年則是呈現U字型關係。此外，在觀察各縣市購買公益彩券之概況時，發現可支配所得是影響購買公益彩券的重要因素之一。 / This study uses “Report on the Survey of Family Income and Expenditure in Taiwan Area of Republic of China” to explore the changes of lottery-buying in Taiwan for long run, and the characteristics of lottery-buying households in Taiwan. The results show as following： First of all, the expenditure of the lottery correlates positively with the income of the whole family, and the lottery-buying expenditure have the decayed trend. Secondly, the lottery-buying families which have higher lottery-buying expenditure show the characteristics of lower average age, higher education level, and male householder. In long term, it shows the features of higher average age, higher education level, and higher percentage of female householder. Thirdly, this study observes the features of lottery-buying family members, the results show a higher percentage of men, but in the long run, the ratio of women is an increasing trend. In terms of age, the expenditures of purchasing lottery go higher, but the average age go down in 2002-2007, while in 2008-2010 it’s a U-shaped relationship. In addition, exploring the lottery-buying Cities and Counties in Taiwan, this study finds that income is one of the important factors to affect purchasing lottery.

Student Number : 0106532X - PhD thesis - School of Education - Faculty of Humanities / Managerialism and collegiality are employed in this thesis as constructs through which to make sense of the changing nature of management in a South African university. The rise and dominance of the managerialism discourse is examined with respect to organisational change and restructuring. As principally a qualitative research project, a single case study of the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) is investigated using interviews, documentary analysis and focus group discussions as the main sources of data from 2001 to 2004. The study is exploratory and strives to establish how and why management has changed. It does so by investigating the underpinning changes in the organisational regime and the different levels of management; the role of the Senior Executive Team, the changing nature of the deanship and the head of school position as a consequence of the merger of departments and the creation of a school structure. Although management in higher education is recognised as having existed for as long as the establishments themselves, the thesis is concerned with the changes in power and authority of academic leaders, the struggle with their ‘lived’ tension between academic leadership or collegiality and managerialism and the implications of this for academic practice. The thesis illustrates that changes in management at Wits demonstrate efforts towards an era of post-managerialism, in this specific case best described as ‘contrived collegial managerialism’. The concept of ‘contrived collegial managerialism’ refers to how the domination of managerial practices from above has altered collegial relations from below. This has resulted in the weakening of academic leadership with profound implications for academic work and practice. Only through strengthened academic leadership at the different levels of university management and primarily school and disciplinary levels, can the university survive the indignities of the increasing corporatisation of its strategies, processes and management practices which constrain the opportunities for meaningful engagement and development of intellectual projects. It is only at disciplinary level, through strengthening the position of heads of department as academic leaders, that collegial relations can be developed and pressure towards upward accountability structures counteracted. Without this, the university risks being consumed by corporate practices at the expense of its unique quality and contribution to society, academic and intellectual advancement.

The aim of the thesis is "Proposal of waste management plan in municipality Vráž u Berouna". Waste management legislation, waste treatment and municipal instruments are described in theoretical part, while the model area is characterized in part II. All ilegal dumps are discovered and registered in the field survey. The data and the outputs were obtained by questionnaire survey in the households. The final part describes municipal analysis of income and expenditure and proposes more effective waste management system.

In the present paper, we identify several distributions from Physics and study their applicability to phenomena such as distribution of income, wealth, and expenditure. Firstly, we apply logistic distribution to these data and we find that it fits very well the annual data for the entire income interval including for upper income segment of population. Secondly, we apply Fermi-Dirac distribution to these data. We seek to explain possible correlations and analogies between economic systems and statistical thermodynamics systems. We try to explain their behaviour and properties when we correlate physical variables with macroeconomic aggregates and indicators. Then we draw some analogies between parameters of the Fermi-Dirac distribution and macroeconomic variables. Thirdly, as complex systems are modelled using polynomial distributions, we apply polynomials to the annual sets of data and we find that it fits very well also the entire income interval. Fourthly, we develop a new methodology to approach dynamically the income, wealth, and expenditure distribution similarly with dynamical complex systems. This methodology was applied to different time intervals consisting of consecutive years up to 35 years. Finally, we develop a mathematical model based on a Hamiltonian that maximises utility function applied to Ramsey model using Fermi-Dirac and polynomial utility functions. We find some theoretical connections with time preference theory. We apply these distributions to a large pool of data from countries with different levels of development, using different methods for calculation of income, wealth, and expenditure.

The aim of this masters thesis is to propound a complex treatise about the Gross Domestic Product of the Czech Republic between the years 2010 and 2015, with focus on growth dynamics, effect of GDP components according to the expenditure approach and the income approach, international comparison and relation to other economic measures. The thesis aspires to present and interpret the analysed data and put them into socio-economic context. Data for the analysis were retrieved from the National Accounts System, the methodology then emanates from the macroeconomic theory and statistical tools. While years after the financial crisis were characterized by a mild growth, years 2012 and 2013 were a recessional period after which came a sharp growth. Determinants of this development were mainly the situation on the world markets, expansionary monetary policy and anticipations of future development. From the items constituting GDP in the expenditure approach the gross capital formation had the main influence, in the income approach it was the net operating surplus. The economic development of the Czech Republic was relatively closely correlated with the development of the European Union during the analysed period. A significant negative correlation between the value of GDP and unemployment rate also existed, as well as a less significant negative correlation between the value of GDP and inflation rate, however the latter relation was not consistent.

依衛生福利部國民健康署指出，飲酒會導致如車禍、家暴、肝癌及肝硬化等事故與疾病，這些都是少量卻有顯著危害。目前臺灣的酒品隨處可購得，但國人及整個社會卻尚未學會到如何正確與「酒」相處；而臺灣特有的拚酒文化更是常拚出一身病來，許多人因酒而失業、家庭失和，甚至喪命。更可怕的是，飲酒還會造成無辜大眾平白犧牲。有鑒於飲酒過量所帶來的危害，酒害的防制已是世界各國共同的議題。 本研究從長時間來回顧臺灣飲酒消費的情況及變化，同時觀察臺灣飲酒家庭戶長與家庭成員的特性，及各縣市飲酒消費的情形，以作為我國未來在制定酒害防制政策時之參考。本文利用行政院主計總處提供之1990至2012年「家庭收支調查報告」資料來進行分析，結果發現飲酒消費支出金額與所得呈現正向關係，惟所得低的家庭，其飲酒消費支出占可支配所得的比重，較所得高的家庭大。另飲酒消費支出較高的家庭，其教育程度及平均年齡相對較低，且男性成員比率偏高，倘若針對教育程度較低者、年輕及男性族群，透過教育及政策行銷，加強渠等對飲酒危害的風險認知，進而減少飲酒量，將有利提升國民健康。 / It is published that traffic accidents, certain social problems or body illnesses are often the results of alcohol drinking events; such as car accident, family abuse, liver cancer or cirrhosis etc., reported by Health Promotion Administration Ministry of Health and Welfare. Such alcohol problems are rare, but serious once happened. Alcohols can be bought everywhere in Taiwan, but still Taiwanese don’t know how to deal with drinking. One of the Taiwanese drinking features, the bottom-up, also adds to the alcohol problems. Many unemployment, family quarrels or even the human lives are caused or jeopardized by over-drinking. Sometimes, even an innocent people could be hurt through a drinking event. Due to the endangerment that is developed by over drinking, that how to prevent it is now a common issue to discuss with all over the world. This essay examines the long-term alcohol consumption changes in Taiwan, observes, at the same time, the characteristics of alcohol-drinking families and the family head of the household, and compares the alcohol consumption situation in different town, county areas in Taiwan. Based on the data form the year 1990 to 2012 in the “Report on the Survey of Family Income and Expenditure in Taiwan Area”, it is found that the expenditure on alcohols and the income of a family are positively related. If we compare the alcohol expenditure to the total disposable income, it is found that the ratio is higher for the poor family than those rich ones. For those families with higher alcohol expenditures, we find their family members are comparatively younger, less educated, and consisted of more male than female members. If we aimed at those classified groups of less educated, younger and male to strengthen their awareness of the alcohol risks through education and policy advocacy to reduce their drinking, our national health will be enhanced.

本文的研究目的為分析台灣菸品消費的特性。本文選擇採取分量迴歸法作為研究方法，探討在0.05、0.2、0.4、0.6、0.8和0.95的菸品消費分量下，吸菸家戶的菸品消費特性效果為何。資料來源為行政院家庭收支調查報告。 研究結果指出，在0.2到0.8分量的菸品消費量下，菸品的價格彈性為-0.161到-0.231之間。然而，在0.05分量的菸品消費量下，菸品的價格彈性為-0.363，而當位於0.95分量的菸品消費量時，菸品的消費彈性大幅的提升至-0.701。這代表著提高菸品稅或是菸品健康福利捐的政策是可以有效減少吸菸行為的。 更近一步探討，在0.95分量的菸品消費下，菸品的消費彈性大幅的提升至-0.701，對於此現象可能的解釋為，對於較高菸品消費量的家戶大部分為吸菸成癮者，當價格上漲時，消費者會選擇改變吸菸習慣例如戒菸或購買較便宜的香菸。 而值得一提的是，對於吸菸成癮的消費者而言，也存在一定機率會選擇購買非法的走私香菸，而走私香菸不但無法增加我國菸品稅收收入，也無法達成抑制我國吸菸率的政策目標。因此，政府在推動菸品控管政策時，須將菸品消費者的消費特性列入考量，同時也必須加強查緝非法菸品走私的行為，才能更有效達成政策目標。 / The research purpose of the paper was to analyze the characteristics of cigarette consumptions in Taiwan. The paper had adopted quantile regression as research method to discuss the effect of smoking households’ consumption characteristics to the cigarette consumptions in Taiwan at 0.05, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 0.95 quantile. Data for the research was sourced from the “Report on the Survey of Family Income & Expenditure”, conducted by the Executive Yuan, R.O.C. The results showed up that the price elasticities of cigarettes were estimated about -0.161 to -0.231 from 0.2 to 0.8 quantile of cigarettes consumption. However, the price elasticity of cigarettes was -0.363 in 0.05 quantile and raised significantly to -0.701 in 0.95 quantile. Indicating the policy of implementing cigarette tax or “Health and Welfare Surcharge on Tobacco Products” would decrease the smoking behavior effectively. Furthermore, the price elasticity changed to -0.701 in 0.95 quantile, a possible explanation for this phenomenon was that households with higher cigarette consumption were highly addicted to smoking, when the cigarette price increased, they would try to change smoking habit such as buying cheaper cigarettes or quit smoking. However, it is worth noticed that there existed risks of price sensitive smokers seek out measures to purchase less expensive cigarettes when they were highly relied on cigarettes, such as smuggled cigarettes, which may decrease future cessation efforts, and also lose the tax revenue from cigarette excise tax. Therefore, government should also take the consumption characteristics of smoking households into account and also enhance the prevention of illegal consumption behaviors when implementing the tobacco control policy.
