Published Article / In this article I argue for the acceptance of artistic outputs as equivalent or congruent to research outputs when these artistic outputs are generated by lecturers at tertiary institutions. Central to the argument is the implementation of critical peer-review mechanisms. I argue that, whereas in research outputs the justification and substantiation of the research takes the form of an article, thesis / dissertation or book, for example, and the further justification and substantiation is confirmed in the publication peer review, for artistic outputs the presentation of the article equivalent - the artwork - requires the justification and substantiation to be carried out by the peer-review process itself. The article then suggests how this might be carried out in practice.

Measuring performance is a necessary management practice if action is to result in desired outcomes. An important objective of the New Zealand public sector reforms that started in the late 1980s, was to focus the attention of public servants on clear specified results rather than bureaucratic procedures. Based on an implicit assumption that all public sector organisations are of a production nature, the reforms promised greater efficiency within the public sector by holding managers accountable for results while providing them with greater freedom to allocate resources. Consequently, outputs became key performance measures to enhance the accountability structure and to improve efficiency of the public organizations. The development of performance measurements to date appears inadequate in that the most important component of results outcomes is overlooked from the measurement. Currently government departments in New Zealand are implementing the early stage of the Management for Outcomes initiative, with an aim of ensuring all public service departments adopt a more strategic and outcome-focused approach to management and reporting. This thesis studied the latest developments in using outputs as performance measures in two public organisations. The findings demonstrates that outputs do not indicate performance for a procedural or a coping organisation as output information may not be relevant, meaningful or useful. However the most significant risk is that just as in the past, reliance on outputs will continue to lead to the fragmentation of public services and the ineffective delivery of services that the Management for Outcomes initiative aims to overcome.

Research has indicated that teams who cover greater distance during matches and complete more basic tasks such as passes, tackles and shots are more successful. Identifying means of increasing these physical and technical outputs is therefore a significant opportunity for performance enhancement. There has been limited research performed on hockey, especially at the elite level. An issue that is even more relevant given that in the past 15 years the sport has undergone some significant rule changes including the introduction of unlimited substitutions. With sixteen players able to be used per match and eleven players on the field at any one time the coach can make substitutions as frequently as desired to try and maximise the overall performance of the team. The objectives of this thesis were to use methods of performance analysis to measure the physical and technical outputs of players during elite hockey and to specifically measure the impact of differing substitution strategies on the physical and technical outputs of strikers during match play. Three striker conditions were assessed; three strikers with no substitutions, four strikers with a moderate amount of substitutions; and, five strikers with a large amount of substitutions. Five matches between the New Zealand men’s hockey team and Tasmania state representative team were played over eight days. Physical outputs of players were measured using portable GPS units and heart rate monitors and technical aspects of match play were measured using team performance statistics and a set of technical criteria which awarded points to strikers for each contribution they made to the game based upon a scale of effectiveness. Average total distance covered during 70 minutes by a position was 8160 ± 428m of which 479 ± 108m (6.1%) was performed at speeds greater than 19km.h-1. Within this high intensity distance were 34 ± 12 sprints per player with an average duration of 3.3s. Average match HR was 85.3 ± 2.9% HRmax and average peak HR was 96.3 ± 2.7% HRmax. Distance covered decreased by 6.2% between the 1st and 2nd halves and there was a trend of decreasing distance in both halves when total distance was broken into five-minute time periods. When assessing the impact of substitutions on the performance of strikers it was found that there were no significant differences in physical outputs between conditions with total distance (S5 = 8414 ± 125m, S4 = 8422 + 34m; S3 = 8282m) and distance covered at speeds greater than 19km.h-1(S5 = 701 ± 46m, S4 = 685 ± 28m, S3 = 723m) being similar. Substantial differences were found in technical outputs between the substitution conditions with more strikers and greater substitutions offering a better total output than less strikers and fewer substitutions (S5 = 241 ± 35, S4 = 207 ± 38, S3 = 173) but statistical significance between conditions was also not found. In conclusion, the results suggest that although substitutions are not a means to increase the physical work of strikers they do appear to be a way to enhance the contributions that strikers are making to the game.

Η διαρθρωτική αλλαγή σε μια οικονομία σχετίζεται με την συστηματική έρευνα στις μεταβολές των απαιτήσεων εισροών, στην παραγωγή νέων προϊόντων και στο σχετικό μέγεθος των κλάδων μιας οικονομίας, σε μια συγκεκριμένη χρονική περίοδο. Αυτή η διαδικασία μπορεί να διερευνηθεί μέσα από την εξέταση του υποδείγματος Εισροών-Εκροών (το οποίο εκτός των άλλων απεικονίζει τις διακλαδικές συναλλαγές σε μια οικονομία), δίδοντας έτσι ένα συγκριτικό σταθερό πλαίσιο για τον προγραμματισμό και την ανάλυση της αναπτυξιακής πολιτικής. Οι όροι «διαρθρωτική» και «τεχνολογική» αλλαγή αλληλεπικαλύπτονται σε κάποια έκταση στην βιβλιογραφία που αφόρα την μέθοδο ανάλυσης Εισροών – Εκροών (Ε-Ε), εν μέρει εξαιτίας των παραμέτρων Ε-Ε σαν «τεχνολογικοί συντελεστές». Ο Carter (1970) αναφέρεται στην τεχνολογική αλλαγή σαν μια αντικατάσταση της διαδικασίας παραγωγής σε μια άλλη. Παράλληλα άλλοι ερευνητές ισχυρίζονται ότι η διαρθρωτική αλλαγή είναι ένας όρος πιο γενικός, αφού αναφέρεται σε χρονικές αλλαγές των αλληλεπιδράσεων μεταξύ των κλάδων οικονομικής δραστηριότητας (Jackson κ.α.,1990,-Μc Donald,1991). Η διαρθρωτική αλλαγή μπορεί να εξεταστεί μέσω της χρήσης διαφόρων δεικτών. Η αναγνώριση των μεθόδων οι οποίες εκτιμούν την κλαδική αλληλεξάρτηση είναι ένα σημαντικό θέμα για τον σχεδιασμό της ανάπτυξής. Ένας δημοφιλής και αποτελεσματικός τρόπος ανάλυσης των διαρθρωτικών αλλαγών είναι η χρήση της μεθόδου Ε-Ε, που απεικονίζει ενιαία την οικονομική διάρθρωση (Chenery, 1980,- Feldam κ.α., 1987,- Rose και Miernyk,1989) σε μια χώρα ή περιφέρεια. Αρχικά οι οικονομολόγοι εφάρμοσαν την μέθοδο αυτή σε εθνικό επίπεδο. Η ανάλυση αυτή εξασφαλίζει τα απαραίτητα εργαλεία για την αποτίμηση των κλάδων, περιλαμβάνοντας τις σχέσεις τους και με την υπόλοιπη οικονομία. Όπως αναφέρεται στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία, η ανάλυση Ε-Ε θεωρείται από τις σημαντικότερες συνεισφορές στα οικονομικά του 20ου αιώνα (Baumol, 2000). Η Ελλάδα, μετά από μια εκτεταμένη περίοδο σύνδεσης με την Ευρωπαϊκή Οικονομική Κοινότητα (ΕΟΚ), έγινε το δέκατο πλήρες μέλος της την 1η Ιανουαρίου 1981. Αυτό το γεγονός είναι η αρχή μιας μεταβατικής περιόδου για την προσαρμογή της Ελληνικής οικονομίας στην οικονομία της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης (ΕΕ), διαδικασία η οποία βεβαίως απαιτεί αρκετές διαρθρωτικές αλλαγές. Σε αυτό το περιβάλλον αντιμετωπίζουμε σημαντικές μεταβολές, οι οποίες προκλήθηκαν και από μεταβολές σε όλους τους κλάδους παραγωγής και κατανάλωσης στο περιβάλλον της αγοράς. Οι αλλαγές αυτές αφορούν την τεχνολογία, τις προτιμήσεις του καταναλωτή και τις συνήθειες του, τις τιμές και το κόστος του προϊόντος, την νοοτροπία σχετικά με την προστασία και διατήρηση του περιβάλλοντος και τον ανταγωνισμό με τις άλλες χώρες της Κοινότητας. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό ο στόχος της συγκεκριμένης εργασίας είναι η ανάλυση των διαρθρωτικών αλλαγών για ένα ορισμένο χρονικό διάστημα στην ελληνική οικονομία. Για να επιτευχθεί η κατάλληλη συγκριτική ανάλυση, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν οι πίνακες Ε-Ε για τα έτη 1997-2005 και στην συνέχεια χρησιμοποιήθηκαν διάφοροι δείκτες για να διεκπεραιωθεί η διαρθρωτική ανάλυση. / -

Premièrement, nous avons caractérisé les systèmes multi-entrées, affines par rapport aux contrôles, linéarisables dynamiquement via une pré-intégration d'un contrôle bien choisi. Ils forment une classe particulière de systèmes plats : ils ont un poids différentiel de n+m+1, où m est le nombre de contrôles et n est la dimension de l'état. Nous avons présenté des formes normales compatibles avec les sorties plates minimales et décrit toutes les sorties plates minimales. Nous avons appliqué nos résultats à plusieurs exemples. Deuxièmement, nous avons décrit les systèmes multi-entrées statiquement équivalents à une forme triangulaire compatible avec la forme multi-chaînée. Ensuite, la platitude de ces systèmes a été analysée et résolue. Nous avons discuté les singularités dans l'espace de contrôle et déterminé toutes les sorties plates. Nous avons appliqué ces résultats au système mécanique d'une pièce roulant sans glissement sur une table en mouvement. / Firstly, we study flatness of multi-input control-affine systems. We give a complete geometric characterization of systems that become static feedback linearizable after a one-fold prolongation of a suitably chosen control. They form a particular class of flat systems, that is of differential weight equal to n+m+l, where n is the dimension of the state-space and m is the number of controls. We illustrate our results by several examples. Secondly, we give a complete geometric characterization of systems locally static feedback equivalent to a triangular form compatible with the m-chained form. We analyze and solve their flatness. We discuss singularities and provide a system of first order PDE's to be solved in order to find all x-flat outputs. We illustrate our results by an application to a mechanical system: the coin rolling without slipping on a moving table.

In this thesis I'm devoted to united perception of outputs of management accounting in company. With different perception the company has problems with communication and evaluation of set targets. Furthermore there are problems in communication between departments and in the end even generation of large quantity of duplicate outputs. The example of insurance company and bank showed that the solution isn't just implementation of place of one truth in company (data warehouse) but there is a need for catalogue of outputs, key indicators, terminology and used systems and roles. This catalogue should be easily accessible to all outputs users. Implementation and use of catalogue will bring on convergence in outputs perception and improves understanding in internal communication

This thesis is focused on tools which are used to analyzed security protocols. In the beginning of the thesis key goals of security protocols are mentioned and also basic attacks on them are illustrated. Subsequently basic verification techniques, specification languages and verification tools are described. Next part of thesis contains description of protocols in common syntax. Then the main standards used for evaluation of information security products are mentioned. In the end of thesis two well-known verification tools – AVISPA and Scyther - are described and compared to designed methodology of comparing verification tools and their outputs.
