Research for Job Seeker Values of Generation Y

Tseng, Su-ching 04 August 2012 (has links)
This study to explore Generation Y seekers values, the purpose of the study of Generation Y in the process of choosing a business consideration, and explore the different Generation Y has a different seek values. Sampling object of this study, the 30-year-old Generation Y seek seekers, conducted survey questionnaire scale way of their seek search intention, seek values is divided into the industry, company culture, organizational performance, organizational characteristics, seek characteristics, reward systems, learning and development and social responsibility. The results showed that the image of the organization does send a message on the internal staff to seekers, If the organization's message is strong severe or obvious, seek seekers may be easier to notice this company, and more a reality check on the company the content of the message, and then to measure the organization through the assessment of values and similarity.

General Inversion Algorithm for Infrared Seeker with Reticles

Lu, Chin-lung 31 July 2006 (has links)
In this thesis, we focus on the position inversion algorithm for infrared (IR) seekers with reticles. The IR seeker system is composed of a reticle, an IR sensor and the optical/electronic systems. The pattern on a reticle is specially designed and is made of both transparent and opaque materials. It is placed right in front of the focal plane of the IR optical imaging system. The area of the IR seeker is comparable to that of an IR sensor. The instantaneous received power is proportional to the overlap integral of infrared image and the reticle¡¦s transmittance function. The target is assumed to be quasi-stationary. When the target is idle in space the infrared detector will receive a one-dimension periodical signal. It is a quite difficult problem to obtain the desired target location in 2-D space from the 1-D infrared seeker waveform. We propose a general inversion algorithm that will handle both amplitude/frequency modulation (AM/FM) modulated as well as other more complicated IR reticles. An IR target in space can be of any location (X, Y coordinate) and of any size (or intensity). Our idea is to perform a search in the 3-D parametric space. After calculating all possible situations, we compare the simulated waveforms with the measured one and find the best fit. We are able to reduce to just search the 2-D positional space by applying a low-pass filter to the measured waveform before processing. We further speed up the convolution calculation by using the fast Fourier transform (FFT). We are able to complete our search in less time for the reticle to rotate half a cycle. Thus, the inversion algorithm is done in real time and is suitable for the field installation. We also can apply this method to help design the reticles for IR seekers based on success rate of identical targets under various situations. Normally it is highly impossible to obtain the original 2-D image from its modulated 1-D signal. In our case, IR images made of just a few bright spots are relatively simple. It allows us to perform the 2-D inversion when only the positional parameters of the targets are needed.

An exploratory study of the role that identity documents play in the integration of refugees and asylum seekers in South Africa: reflections from Cape Town

Wamundiya, Alice January 2015 (has links)
South Africa is one of the top regional destinations for refugees and asylum seekers. The South African government has chosen to adopt local integration as its main strategy in dealing with the refugees and asylum seekers it currently hosts, as opposed to housing refugees in camps. This step has been hailed as progressive, and the Refugee Act has espoused the issuing of progressive identity documents to refugees and asylum seekers as the viaduct through which refugees and asylum seekers can become fully integrated. In this regard then, refugee and asylum seeker identity documents are critical and the study sought to investigate the extent to which this policy intent of using identity documents to facilitate integration had become a reality. The study began by looking at the evolution of refugee and asylum seeker law in South Africa. From there it looked at the differences between refugees and asylum seekers, and what distinguishes them from other migrants such as economic migrants. Thereafter the study looked at theoretical frameworks surrounding migration and integration, especially as pertains to the refugee and asylum seeker context. In particular, the study sought to present the experiences of identity documents in facilitating integration from two main perspectives namely the refugees and asylum seekers who are issued with and make use of these identity documents, and service providers who interact with these documents on a daily basis and provide services to the refugee and asylum seeker communities. The findings presented highlight that despite the progressive evolution of refugee law in South Africa, the role of these identity documents, in facilitating access to services and promoting integration, has largely failed, from the practical to the policy level.

Algorithmic Study of Reticle Based IR Seeker Simulators

Lee, Zhi-Wei 05 July 2005 (has links)
Infrared target tracking devices (called IR seeker) are important part of the heat seeking missiles. They are based on a simply principle that heat produced by the operation of each machine emits strong infrared radiation. Take an aircraft for an example, an exhaust of the combustion engines produce much heat. The IR radiation is then detected and processed by the IR seeker which then guides the missile to the desired target. There are many kinds of IR seeker. In this thesis we focus on ¡§reticle¡¨ and ¡§image¡¨ types of IR seekers. In the early 1950s, the IR technology is limited to a single detector. To be able to locate the target, a rotating reticle was placed before the detector. The pattern on the reticle introduces a specific modulation onto the output signals of the IR seeker thus giving the missile the equivalent of an IR eye. This is the built-in feature of the familiar sidewinder heat seeking missiles. In recent years, technology has greatly improved. The so called ¡§image¡¨ IR seeker uses a focal plane arrays (FPA), similar to the charge coupled device (CCD) of digital camera, to capture the IR image generated from the target. These high definition images are then processed by the computer and help the missile to track its targets. We studied both types of IR seekers and developed approximation methods to generate IR signatures as well as algorithms to locate and identify the target. The ¡§image seeker¡¨ is technologically more advanced and can detect and track several targets simultaneously. Its inversion methods are however, simpler and easier to implement. From the simulation results, we can correctly locate of the target position. Due to the limited input information, more elaborate efforts are needed for the ¡§reticle seekers¡¨ because different reticle have different characteristics and need to be handled differently. To speed up the calculation, we use 2-D Fast Fourier transform of the reticle pattern and IR images of the target for both generation of detector waveforms and for target location. The overall results are satisfactory and meet the IR seeker simulator¡¦s requirements.

Výběr uchazečů o zaměstnání / The selection of job seekers

Rejchrtová, Aneta January 2018 (has links)
The thesis deals with selected legal aspects of the process of selection of job seekers. Through the study of professional literature and other sources, legal regulations and also own small research, the author deals mainly with the issue of the principle of equal treatment and the prohibition of discrimination and protection of personal data. The thesis also describes the job position of the job seeker, the pre-contractual liability and the dishonest behavior of the potential employee and the employer, the ways of getting employees and other connections, because the theme of the thesis is more extensive than it might seem at first sight. The possibilites of the defence are also mentioned. The process of selection of job seekers can not be considered as a purely personalist discipline. The thesis works with legislation such as the Labor Code, the Employment Act, the Anti-Discrimination Act on the Personal Data Protection Act. Although the selection of a prospective employee is the employer's responsibility, employers have to observe the legal requirements, for example, they can not discriminate the job seekers or infringe the privacy of the job seeker unwarranted. Therefore, for example, a potential employer can require only information directly related to the conclusion of an employment contract. The...

A systematic review of perinatal social support interventions for asylum-seeking and refugee women residing in Europe

Balaam, M.C., Kingdon, C., Haith-Cooper, Melanie 02 October 2021 (has links)
Yes / Asylum-seeking and refugee women currently residing in Europe face unique challenges in the perinatal period. A range of social support interventions have been developed to address these challenges. However, little is known about which women value and why. A critical interpretive synthesis was undertaken using peer reviewed and grey literature to explore the nature, context and impact of these perinatal social support interventions on the wellbeing of asylum-seeking and refugee women. Four types of interventions were identified which had varying impacts on women’s experiences. The impacts of the interventions were synthesised into five themes: Alleviation of being alone, Safety and trust, Practical knowledge and learning, being cared for and emotional support, and increased confidence in and beyond the intervention. The interventions which were most valued by women were those using a community-based befriending/peer support approach as these provided the most holistic approach to addressing women’s needs.

To what extent does Zimbabwe comply with its international obligations for the protection of unaccompanied and separated refugee children?

Mutsvara, Sheena January 2015 (has links)
Magister Legum - LLM / This study set out to analyse Zimbabwe’s obligations under international law for the protection of UARC. Chapter one was an introduction to the study laying out the background of refugee and child protection. The background established that it was after World War II that the international community saw the need for an international instrument to define the legal status of refugees, after the refugee problem had not been resolved after World War I. This development saw the creation of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention. On the African continent the large number of people fleeing wars and internal conflict led to the adoption of the OAU Convention to address the unique problems associated with African refugees. The chapter also established that the protection of UARC should be integrated early into the design and implementation of assistance programmes. A child ought to be treated as a child first and as a refugee second. The main hypothesis of the research as set out in the chapter was that the children and refugee policies and laws in Zimbabwe do not sufficiently protect children in vulnerable situations such as UARC. Subsequent chapters addressed the issues raised in chapter one, that is outlining the obligations that Zimbabwe has internationally and showing whether these obligations are being fulfilled. Chapter two of the study examined Zimbabwe’s obligations in both international and regional law for protection of UARC. The study concluded that Zimbabwe by ratifying all refugee and children’s conventions, regionally and internationally is bound to protect refugee children, especially those who are unaccompanied. The chapter also established that the refugee Conventions do not fully protect UARC, as the definition of a refugee does not cater for children. It was submitted that these definitions require amendment. Specific protection for refugee children is provided in Art 22 of the CRC and Art 23 of the ACRWC, establishing that the best interests’ of the child principle is paramount especially to unaccompanied refugee in all stages of their displacement cycle until they receive appropriate accommodation. General Comment 6 lays out the various legal obligations that States have which include the obligation to respect the best interests of the child, the obligation pertaining to non-discrimination, providing care and accommodation arrangements and respect for the child views. Although being soft law, the General Comment as discussed in chapter two cannot be simply ignored as it is a vital tool used by treaty bodies to further explain or give flesh to rights provided in a UN Convention. Included in these obligations are also procedural needs and general and special protection needs. Chapter two also established that pertinent to the issue of refugee protection is the issue of burden sharing which entails that a State that faces difficulties in refugee protection issues can appeal for help from other States. Zimbabwe needs to cooperate with other States such as South Africa which hosts most refugees in Africa, if the rights of UARC are to be fully realised. Such cooperation can range from assisting children to trace their families, reunification and the issuing of identity documents. The government though has and continues to engage with non-governmental organisations to ensure that it fulfils its obligations. It is also established that the UNHCR plays a very significant role in refugee protection and is the central agency for refugee protection. It has published various executive committee conclusions on UARC emphasising the need for cooperation between States in protection issues.⁴⁶² In chapter three, the study examined Zimbabwe’s legislation that protects unaccompanied refugee children and Zimbabwe’s encampment policies, concluding that there are still gaps in the law that protects UARC and asylum seekers. By and large, the Children’s Act of Zimbabwe conforms with international treaties. In particular, it declares that the best interest of the child shall be paramount in matters concerning them; however, it is largely silent on children’s right to participation.⁴⁶³ Reference to UARC in the Children’s Act can be inferred from the reference made to children in need of care. As highlighted in chapter 3 above, this provision is highly inadequate and in need of amendment. The Refugees Act of Zimbabwe, as discussed in chapter three, clearly falls short in addressing the specific needs of children by not providing a specific section that relates to children. It, further, omits to take into account the fact that children in some instances become refugees as a result of socio economic factors such as poverty amongst others. The definition of a refugee in the Act does not accommodate children since it is basically a duplication of the 1951 Convention and the OAU Conventions’ definitions which do not cater for children as discussed in chapter 2 above. The Constitution of Zimbabwe is very significant in that it provides for rights exclusively applying to children over and above those provided to everyone resident in Zimbabwe.⁴⁶⁴ The State is obliged to adopt policies and measures to fulfil these rights, however, subject to the limitation of available resources. The limitation, however, has not been subjected to progressive realisation, which implies that the State is not committed to the immediate and tangible progress towards realising children’s socio economic rights.⁴⁶⁵ The CESCR has reiterated that progressive realisation implies a specific and continuing obligation on states to, as much as possible, be expeditious and effective in working towards the full realisation of the rights.⁴⁶⁶ Implementation of these laws is also still a problem in Zimbabwe. The current economic problems in Zimbabwe, in which the State is failing to cater for its own people, hinders the State from fully fulfilling its obligations towards UARC. Thus, although the government has in place a social and legislative mechanism aimed at promoting the rights of children, it has not been able to fulfil its obligations in full because its duty has been limited to the State’s available resources. This study, therefore, makes the submission that NGO support and international cooperation is highly necessary for the realisation of refugee children’s rights in Zimbabwe. The study also established that there is need for proper accommodation, adequate food and quality education for UARC at the Tongogara refugee camp in Zimbabwe.

Vulnerable migrant women and postnatal depression: A case of invisibility in maternity services?

Firth, Amanda, Haith-Cooper, Melanie 31 January 2018 (has links)
Yes / Vulnerable migrant women are at an increased risk of developing postnatal depression, compared with the general population. Although some symptoms are the same as in other pregnant women, there are specific reasons why vulnerable migrant women may present differently, or may not recognise symptoms themselves. Factors associated with migration may affect a woman’s mental health, particularly considering forced migration, where a woman may have faced violence or trauma, both in her home country and on the journey to the UK. Vulnerable migrant women engage less with maternity care than the average woman for reasons including a lack of knowledge of the UK healthcare system, fear of being charged for care, or fear that contact with clinicians will negatively affect their immigration status. This article explores the issues surrounding vulnerable migrant women that increase their risk of developing postnatal depression and presents reasons why this may go unrecognised by health professionals such as midwives.
