Graduation theses is concerned with the analysis of taking advantage of using franchising in the business, specifically with application of franchising for development of already existing firm. Theoretical part summarises the principles and presumptions of using franchising concept. The practical part deals with the application of hypothesis stated in the first part on the example of a real firm. The thesis suggests a solution of problems connected with creating a franchise network.

Between 1899 and 1910 Sir William Macdonald, tobacco millionaire and educational philanthropist and James W. Robertson, agriculturalist and educator, conducted a seed grain competition across Canada to teach new agricultural practices, and founded manual training centres to teach physical skills and aid moral development. Through the Macdonald Rural School Fund, Macdonald and Robertson established school gardens and supported nature study in eastern Canada, combining with manual training to make a useful elementary curriculum for rural children. To support these pedagogical ideas they pressed, with limited success, for rural school consolidations. Finally, they established an agricultural and teacher training college in connection with McGill University. The Macdonald-Robertson movement drew on borrowed ideas, but also trained teachers, . persuaded school boards, managed costs, and held to a consistent pedagogy through specialized object lessons. Because it treats the Macdonald-Robertson reforms together, this thesis provides a viable explanation why these two men took up the cause of reform and why the various elements of the movement succeeded or failed. I claim the reforms grew up in the first place because the Macdonald-Robertson pedagogical ideas were in the wider interest of social reformers and of the two founders. The ease with which each reform could be controlled by central administrators and implemented in a standard way from one district to the next meant Robertson would achieve "success" on some publicly believable criterion, however variable in extent, yet maintain central control. Robertson found it necessary to dedicate time and energy in persuading local districts and teachers to take up the work. Yet were it not for local autonomy, schools would have been an even easier target for a parade of politically-motivated programmes. Macdonald and Robertson's experience shows that reform must be popular and workable at the local level. Administrative talent and sound pedagogy cannot overcome local resistance if school boards, parents or teachers do not value, or cannot afford, reform. The inherent paradox of standardization and autonomy deserves to remain a hypothesis in research on educational reform. My account shows how Macdonald and Robertson sought to standardize autonomous school districts and teachers, in order to preserve the rural lifestyle, in order to help Canada on her way to economic growth and social order in the face of immigration and urbanization, and the varying extent to which regions benefited economically from industrialization. / Education, Faculty of / Educational Studies (EDST), Department of / Graduate

Com vistas a atingir o intento inicial, foram localizados e examinados documentos como: Regulamentos da Instrução Pública primária, Programas de Ensino, Relatórios sobre Grupos Escolares, Mensagens de Presidentes do Estado e Manuais de ensino. A contribuição teórica ocorreu a partir do uso de autores como Valente (2013), Bloch (2002) e Chartier (2002). O exame dos documentos foi norteado pelo entendimento de saberes elementares aritméticos inspirado em Valente (2015), que posteriormente passou por um refinamento a partir de indícios identificados em Mensagens e Relatórios que apontaram os manuais Aritmética Elementar de Antonio Trajano e Lições de Coisas de Calkins que foram tomados como referente para identificar saberes elementares aritméticos que podem ser elencados da seguinte forma: números, operações aritméticas e problemas, frações e suas operações, divisibilidade, proporção, juros simples e medidas. Foram identificadas referências a materiais como contadores mecânicos, cartas de Parker e indicação para que fosse adotado o livro Arithmetica Elementar para o ensino dos saberes elementares aritméticos. Foi possível identificar Princípios adotados por Calkins (1886/1950), que passavam por etapas como a imaginação, o juízo, a observação, consequentemente, à comparação e classificação, para chegar ao conhecimento nos saberes elementares aritméticos prescritos em Programas de Ensino de Sergipe. Por exemplo, no que tange ao saber Operações aritméticas, no somar, o manual orientava o uso do contador mecânico da seguinte forma: somando esferas até dez esferas e duas esferas. No Programa de 1917, deveria tomar a casa dos dez até doze, ou seja, em ambos deveriam realizar a soma até doze. O método indicado para o ensino primário era o intuitivo até a década de 1920, com indícios de mudança para o que preconizavam os princípios da Escola Nova desde essa época e com maior ênfase após a década de 1930.

Esta dissertação de mestrado, como indica o próprio título, tem como objetivo pesquisar, descrever e analisar a concepção de literatura presente nos discursos dos manuais didáticos produzidos entre os anos de 1970 e 1990. Dentro do corpus selecionado ¾ manuais didáticos do ensino médio ¾, o enfoque da pesquisa se dará nos capítulos em que estes procuram conceituar a literatura. Dessa forma, este trabalho ¾ não pressupondo a existência de uma concepção de literatura fixa, natural e estável, como se esta pudesse ser anterior a qualquer discurso e independente da contingência histórica ¾ parte da hipótese de que tal concepção seria antes uma construção discursiva em que outros discursos são retomados, simplificados, aglutinados, generalizados, etc. Nesse sentido, a perspectiva teórica da análise do discurso, especificamente a que pode ser depreendida da obra de Michel Foucault (A ordem do discurso e A arqueologia do saber), fundamentará esta análise. / This dissertation aims at discussing the concept of literature that can be found in High School textbooks produced between the years 1970 and 1990. The main trait of this research is to analyze the chapters that try to define what literature is. This work - not assuming the existence of a rigid, natural and fixed concept of literature, as if this notion could exist apart from any discourse and from any historical contingence - assumes that this concept would be a discoursive construction in which others discourses are retaken, simplified, agglutinated, generalized, etc. Therein, the theoretical perspective of the analysis of the discourse, specially the one that derives from the work of Michel Foucault ( The Discourse on Language and The Archaelogy of Knowledge ) will lay the foundation of the present analysis.

Persons with disabilities tend to be in poorer health compared to those without disabilities, and timely coordination of care is essential for maintaining optimal health and wellness. The problem addressed in the Care Coordination Referral Project was the lack of timely access to health care and preventive care services for clients with disabilities in the organization for which this project was developed. Using the appraisal of guidelines research and evaluation II model, the purpose of this DNP project was to analyze and synthesize the evidence-based literature to support the project and develop an online health care resource manual and protocol. The practice- focused question focused on evidence from literature that supported the development of a resource manual and protocol to provide care coordination to patients with disabilities. The literature indicated that timely access to care was essential to a patient's overall health and well-being. The manual and protocol were approved by an organizational team and included in the patient care plan. Results of a summative evaluation showed that team members agreed that the project objectives were met, the project was appropriate to the setting, and that strong leadership was demonstrated throughout the project. The findings of this project show that providing the resource manual for the nurses might improve the overall health and well- being of patients with disabilities through access to health care and preventive care services access.

La presente investigación hace mención al análisis en laboratorio con respecto a la colocación de asfalto a una temperatura menor a seis grados centígrados, teniendo en consideración que el Perú cuenta con diferentes tipos de climas a lo largo y ancho de su territorio, esto hace que la producción de asfalto y su colocación sea una dificultad para cualquier tipo de proyecto de carreteras, la cual nos dirige a una realidad en la producción de asfalto en caliente, ya que sabiendo las normas y manuales con las que actualmente contamos hace que la colocación sea imposible a una temperatura menor a seis grados centígrados. La investigación se focaliza en un análisis cualitativo – cuantitativo la cual debe cumplir con los parámetros de calidad (Ensayos), manual de carreteras (EG - 2013) y proceso constructivo (método Marshall) la realización de la propuesta de mezcla asfáltica va a variar en el porcentaje de diferentes tipos de filler que hemos considerado para la investigación (cal, cemento portland tipo I y sílice). Para los ensayos se realizaron probetas sin ningún tipo de aditivos, las probetas una vez preparadas a 140ºC se sometieron a congelamiento dando como resultado, de los tres tipos de filler, que la mezcla asfáltica en caliente con incorporación de cemento portland tipo I a un 5,90% de cemento asfáltico es el óptimo cumpliendo con los parámetros y especificaciones técnicas del manual de carreteras. / The present investigation mentions the laboratory analysis regarding the placement of asphalt at a temperature below six degrees centigrade, taking into account that Peru has different types of climates throughout its territory, this makes the asphalt production and its placement is a difficulty for any type of road project, which leads us to a reality in the production of hot asphalt, since knowing the standards we currently have, that makes placement impossible to a temperature below six degrees centigrade. The research is focused on a qualitative - quantitative analysis which must comply with the quality parameters (Tests), road manual (EG - 2013) and constructive process (Marshall method) the realization of the asphalt mix proposal will vary in the percentage of different types of filler that we have considered for the research (lime, portland cement type I and silica). For the tests, test tubes were carried out without any type of additives, once the test tubes were prepared at 140ºC, they were subjected to freezing, resulting, of the three types of filler, that the hot asphalt mix with incorporation of portland cement type I at a 5,90% asphalt cement is the optimal one complying with the parameters and technical specifications of the road manual. / Tesis

In humans, washing stored blood products prior to transfusion reduces storage lesions and the potential for transfusion reaction, but the effectiveness of washing units of canine whole blood is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine if a manual method of washing of stored whole blood units reduced storage lesions without adversely affecting erythrocytes. Units of canine whole blood were stored for 28 days and manually washed three times with sterile .9% NaCl. Following the first wash, there was a decrease in serum potassium (P<.0001), lactate (P<.0001), pH (P=.0110), pCO2 (P<.0001), TCO2 (P<.0001), arachidonic acid (P<.0001), and thromboxane B2 (P=.0417), and increases in iCa (P=.0494), iMg (P=.0024), MCV (P<.0001), MCHC (P=.0093), RDW (P=.0009), hemoglobin (P=.0011), and MCF (P=.0006). No bacterial growth was identified on the post-transfusion samples. Manual washing of stored blood significantly reduces storage lesions after a single wash and additional washing may cause in vitro hemolysis.

Billions of people currently use the Internet. Many Internet users share sensitive information through online services. Several secure data sharing tools have been developed to protect this sensitive information. A common practice in the design of usable security is to provide automatic data encryption that is transparent to users. We hypothesize that automatic encryption can decrease usability and comprehensibility, increasing the likelihood that users will unknowingly disclose sensitive information. This thesis presents Message Protector (MP), a novel Internet secure data sharing tool design that through manual encryption, purposely exposes technical details in a usable manner to increase usability and reduce mistakes. We have developed a rapid prototype that we used to evaluate MP usability via cognitive walkthrough and two usability studies. In the studies, we compared the MP prototype with existing secure data sharing tools. The results of the user studies demonstrate that MP design increases usability, user comprehension, and the likelihood of successful use.
