No. of bitstreams: 0 / O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar a avaliação dos riscos ocupacionais ao mercúrio utilizado em odontologia, aos quais os auxiliares em saúde bucal (ASB) da rede pública de saúde do município de Araguaína, Tocantins, estão expostos. O processo odontológico do sistema de saúde no município em questão foi estudado, de modo minucioso, a partir de um levantamento do número de restaurações de amálgama de prata executadas durante o período de janeiro de 2003 a dezembro de 2007 na base de dados DATASUS. Nesse estudo, foram avaliadas as condições de armazenamento dos resíduos de amálgama nos consultórios odontológicos públicos do município analisado. Foram estudadas diferentes soluções-barreira para armazenamento dos resíduos de amálgama no que diz respeito a sua eficácia no combate à emissão de vapores de mercúrio para o ambiente. A solução contendo amoníaco foi a que apresentou melhor tempo para estocagem dos resíduos (19 dias a 37 ºC), seguida pela solução contendo fixador fotográfico (12 dias) e solução de bicarbonato de sódio (7 dias). Com base nestas informações, caracterizou-se o perfil do ASB que atua nos consultórios públicos do município de Araguaína quanto à idade, ao sexo, ao grau de exposição ao mercúrio e aos procedimentos de biossegurança executados. O estudo possibilitou elaborar um banco de dados, com relação ao manuseio e ao descarte de resíduos de amálgama, com o intuito de subsidiar políticas públicas de saúde voltadas à modificação de situações de risco as quais os profissionais estão submetidos e/ou submetem seus pacientes. Foi realizado também um programa de monitoramento biológico, utilizando como marcador a presença de mercúrio em amostras de urina (HgU), em membros da equipe odontológica da rede municipal de saúde de Araguaína e em alunos da escola técnica de saúde, polo de Araguaína, atuantes como ASB em outros municípios da região norte (n=91). Como comparação, um grupo de não expostos ao mercúrio foi avaliado (n=43) e os valores de HgU determinados. A pesquisa permitiu concluir que, em relação aos valores de HgU, a equipe odontológica avaliada estava dentro dos limites propostos pela NR 7 (até 35 gHg.g-1CR). Com relação à contaminação por mercúrio, a média da concentração do HgU para o grupo expostos (5,61 μgHg.g-1CR) foi aproximadamente 8 vezes maior se comparada ao do grupo não expostos (0,65 μgHg.g-1CR), evidenciando a necessidade de um programa de treinamento de profissionais e de gerenciamento de resíduos, bem como de uma atuação mais efetiva na realização do monitoramento biológico periódico nos profissionais da equipe odontológica. / Tese (Doutoramento) / IPEN/T / Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

Öffentliche Unternehmen werden in Adäquation zum wirtschaftlichen und politischen Verständnis an Hand des Finanz- und Personalstatistikgesetzes operationalisierbar definiert und sowohl gegenüber öffentlichen Behörden als auch gegenüber privaten Unternehmen abgegrenzt. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass keine Deckungsgleichheit, aber eine stückweise Überlappung mit dem Sektor Staat besteht. Dadurch gewinnt ein Teil der öffentlichen Unternehmen Bedeutung für die Volkswirtschaftliche Gesamtrechnung, insbesondere für den öffentlichen Schuldenstand und damit für die Konvergenzkriterien im Rahmen der Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion. Die amtliche Statistik gewinnt die Daten für die Statistik öffentlicher Unternehmen in Totalerhebung aus den Jahresabschlüssen dieser Unternehmen einschließlich ihrer Gewinn und Verlustrechnung. Die Statistik öffentlicher Unternehmen übertrifft damit in ihrer Ausführlichkeit und Tiefe die meisten anderen Fachstatistiken. Dem steht der Nachteil der relativ späten Verfügbarkeit gegenüber. Der Wissenschaft steht die Statistik in Form einer formal anonymisierten Datei an Wissenschaftlerarbeitsplätzen in den Forschungsdatenzentren der Statistischen Ämter des Bundes und der Länder zur Verfügung. Der Anonymisierungsprozess bedeutet eine weitere Verzögerung der Verfügbarkeit der Daten und steht zusammen mit strengen Geheimhaltungsvorschriften in den Forschungsdatenzentren im Widerspruch zur gebotenen Transparenz und der vorgeschriebenen Offenlegung der Bilanzen im öffentlichen Sektor.

In that sense, this study analyzes the relation between the intellectual capital and the performance of a Brazilian public organization. This is an exploratory research which was carried out on the Instituto Nacional da Seguridade Social - INSS, a public organization responsible for the management of financial resources which represents about 8% of the GNP. In order to achieve the proposal objectives, first some intellectual capital indicators were select from the model named Skandia developed by Edvinsson and Malone (1998) and some variables related to the activities performed by the unit studied. Later, it was collected data from INSS, regarding to the Benefits Department. After the data collection and the statistical treatment, it was possible to establish relations between the intellectual capital indicators and some performance variables of this organization. The reached results show that the indicators related to the experience of the civil servants, the aging of the systems, and the services available in the web, have contributed to the better results, which can be explained by the accuracy and the reduction in the time of analysis process. However, the indicators related to training and education didn't show a significant relation to the chosen variables, which suggests that external factors should be considered in a future research. / O capital intelectual caracteriza-se como um ativo intang??vel, que vem sendo considerado como o fator diferencial nos resultados das organiza????es privadas.

The research focuses on an evaluation of the management practices used in the implementation of HIV/AIDS policies and programmes in the South African Public Service, with specific reference to the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE). It was executed with the following objectives in mind: <ul> <li> identify the initiatives that have been established for managing HIV/AIDS in the South African Public Service and the DPE, including the relevant legislation;</li> <li> identify the challenges with regard to planning, organising, leading and controlling that are experienced by the DPE in managing HIV/AIDS effectively;</li> <li> identify best practices in the management of HIV/AIDS in the South African Public Service; and</li> <li> make recommendations to address the challenges experienced by the DPE.</li></ul> From the review of relevant literature, it has been established that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is growing at an alarming rate in the Southern African region, including South Africa. The impact of the epidemic on the socio-economy of South Africa, as well as the South African Public Service, needs to be properly understood so that appropriate measures can be put in place to address the challenges resulting from the epidemic. The research clearly indicated that resources, both financial and human, as well as leadership commitment are required for the effective implementation of policies and programmes for managing HIV/AIDS. / Dissertation (M.Admin (Public Administration))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / School of Public Management and Administration (SPMA) / unrestricted

Magister Philosophiae - MPhil / Directors of companies are the forerunners in overseeing and strategically managing a company.1 The Companies Act 71 of 2008 (the Companies Act) gives the board of directors the legislative obligation for a company to be managed by or under the direction of the board of directors.2 The board of directors have a central role in the decision making and operation of a company; this position also applies to the board of directors of State owned Companies (SOC). This dissertation explores methods to hold directors of SOCs personally liable for irregular, wasteful and fruitless expenditure.

Le processus du transfert de connaissances managériales se fait dans un projet de partenariat public-privé, sur la stratégie adoptée par le partenaire public face au besoin d’acquisitions de connaissances dans un objectif de fournir un service public de qualité et d’avoir une autonomie managériale après l’achèvement du contrat. Les résultats de ce transfert de connaissances managériales des entreprises publiques algériennes en situation de partenariat avec leurs homologues étrangers, sont fonction de la capacité d’apprentissage de ces connaissances par le partenaire public afin de les acquérir, les intégrer au sein de l’organisation et les utiliser. Ils sont également fonction de la capacité d’émission du partenaire privé à faciliter le transfert par le biais de la codification de la connaissance selon les critères suivants : l’intention stratégique, la confiance et la transparence ainsi que la volonté mutuelle du partage de connaissances dans une relation de coopération. / Processes of transferring managerial knowledge is made in a project of public-private partnership PPP on the strategy adopted by the public partner face the need for acquisition of knowledge in a goal to provide a public high quality service and to have a managerial autonomy after contract’s completion.The Algerian public enterprises, partnership situation with their foreign counterparts, knowledge transfer’s results are depending on the learning capacity of this knowledge by the public partner to acquire, integrate within the organization and use them. They are also a function of the transmission capacity of the private partner to facilitating the transfer through knowledge’s codification according to the following criteria: the strategic intent, trust and transparency and mutual willingness knowledge’s sharing in a cooperative relationship.

The soft budget constraint - today a popular metaphor - is a paradox. In socialist economies, it implies that the state tends to bail out state-owned firms in financial trouble, in spite of the tremendous performance problems of the entire system that result. When the system broke down, the soft budget constraint was expected to disappear. However, it seems to persist, and its persistence appears to hamper the transition process itself. This study seeks an answer to this paradox. It aims at increasing our understanding of why the soft budget constraint exists. By investigating state-owned enterprises in Tanzania before, during and after socialism, the prevalence of the soft budget constraint is examined and an explanation of its existence is suggested. The approach is institutional. The soft budget constraint is defined as an informal institution and an invisible-hand explanation of its emergence, persistence and logic is applied. The study shows that the soft budget constraint emerged as an unintended consequence of the establishment of the Tanzanian socialist system in the 1970s. A behavioural solution to recurrent systemic problems was offered, and thus the soft budget constraint performed several functions. Once established, its very existence set off a cumulative process of self-generation. Four reinforcement mechanisms that accounted for its prevalence during Tanzanian socialism are identified. Its character as a behavioural rule helps to explain why it persisted during market-oriented reform, initiated in the mid-1980s. The soft budget constraint was part of the socialist heritage, was adapted to systemic change, and influenced the direction and character of this change. / Diss. Stockholm : Handelshögsk.
