This thesis inquires into the problems of funding businesses by means of so called alternative financing arrangements, i.e. by Private Equity and Public Stock and Bond Offerings. The first section involves basic ideas and characteristics of the Czech capital market and its structure. The following three sections deal, in sequence, with particular means of financing. They comprise theoretic aspects of particular financing arrangements as well as analysis of advantages and disadvantages to businesses, resulting from their application. Furthermore these sections provide for characteristics of situation in sectors of these particular financing arrangements within the scope of the Czech capital market and detect potentials to improve it.

Objective of this diploma thesis is to identify risks and barriers connected with expansion of using the Public-Private Partnership concept, fractional objective is to identify limiting factors which affect still not very developed PPP projects in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of the thesis is dedicated to definition of PPP concept and explanation of its specific characteristics in providing of public goods. The practical part is focused on chosen projects. On this sample are limits of expansion of using PPPs identified and analysed using the method of partial generalization. On the basis of analysis of available literature and qualitative research made there are suggested possible solutions.

The main objective of this study is to understand the planning and the model of a State Management operated by private agents in the context of Supply Center of Goiás CEASA-GO and the ability to suggest improvements. A descriptive research in operating manuals of the WM of Brazil; articles the time of the National System of Wholesale Markets (SINAC), the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply in conjunction with the National Supply Company (Conab) and the law of WM. Methodologically ranked research in descriptive exploratory, bibliographical, documentary and field having as object of study to the WM-GO and the data collection instrument was a questionnaire applied to private and public agents of this plant. The results show that the Wholesale Markets had their magnitude moments with the implementation of its warehouses in the years 1960-1970 and the creation of the SINAC, leaving it to the Brazilian Society of Food management. With the extinction of SINAC in the late 1980s the WM faced dislocation of his forces, through neglect of the government until 2005 with the establishment of the Brazilian Program of horticulture Market Modernization by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply which is still outside the reality of Brazilian WM including the WM-GO which must be done for her too. / A atividade fragmentada e informal do mercado de hortigranjeiro levou a discussão, no final dos anos 1950, da criação de Centrais de Abastecimento Alimentar no Brasil. O objetivo central deste estudo é compreender o planejamento e o modelo de uma Gestão Estatal operada por agentes privados no contexto da Central de Abastecimento de Goiás CEASA-GO e a possibilidade de sugerir melhorias. Realizou-se pesquisa descritiva em manuais operacionais das Ceasas do Brasil; artigos da época do Sistema Nacional de Centrais de Abastecimento (SINAC), pelo Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento em conjunto com a Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (CONAB) e a legislação das Ceasas. Metodologicamente, classificou-se a pesquisa em exploratória, descritiva, bibliográfica, documental e de campo, tendo como objeto de estudo a CEASA-GO e o instrumento de coleta de dados um questionário aplicado aos agentes públicos e privados desta Central. Os resultados demonstram que as Centrais de Abastecimento tiveram momentos de magnitude com a implantação de seus entrepostos nos anos de 1960-1970 e com a criação do SINAC, ficando a cargo da Companhia Brasileira de Alimentos a gestão. Com a extinção do SINAC, no final de 1980, as Ceasas enfrentaram desarticulação de suas forças, passando por descaso do governo até 2005 com a instituição do Programa Brasileiro de Modernização do Mercado Hortigranjeiro pelo Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento, que ainda se encontra fora da realidade das Ceasas brasileiras, inclusive a CEASAGO que se insere nesta realidade e muito deve ser feito por ela.

This study was undertaken in five (5) farm schools in the Maquassi Hills Area Project Office (APO) with the intention to assess whether the School Management Teams (SMT's) are given necessary guidance to deal with health and well-being of schools. The Constitution of South Africa stipulates that human values (dignity, freedom and equality) form the most important challenges that condone and maintain that a safe and discipline environment should be created for effective teaching and learning. Focus group interviews were conducted to gather information which was relevant to the study. The findings show that SMT's of farm schools have problems with the managerial tasks as well as the functional tasks of schools' daily activities. The researcher infers that both the landowners and the DoE must ensure that electricity and water is provided where contractual agreements exist, as power affects the usage of visual aids and administering school businesses. The Department of Education (DoE) has no legal structure within which farm schools should operate to guarantee equal educational opportunities, and create a positive disciplined schools where learners and educators not only know what is expected, but feel secure. The officials who are responsible for the dispatch of learning support materials (LSM) hold the SMT's back in assigning duties to the educators because of lack of LSM. The study shows that the official seem to be ignorant of basic education to farm school learners, and how the DoE manages farm schools, reflects how it still clanged to the red-tape of funding farm schools. Other essentials like water and phones are not given attention to communicate problems that need immediate attention like illness, danger or accident. Learners still have to travel long distances which is a safety thread. The researcher eludes that it is in the interest of the landowners and the DoE that the conditions that prevail on farm schools should not impede with the work of the SMT's. The landowners and the DoE should come to a consensus in making the school environment for SMT's inviting. The DoE through school-based support teams from Area Project Office (APO) should support SMT's and guide them in managerial tasks. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2008.

This thesis consists of three related essays that examine the role of information in the market for corporate debt. The three essays collectively examine the role of information produced by the firm and its agents on alleviating information asymmetries facing public debtholders. In particular, the thesis examines the impact of bondholders' demand for reputation and information on the firm's disclosure choices and accounting attributes; and the impact of information produced by monitoring the firm's private debt before its entry to the public debt market on the yield spread of its initial bond. The first essay investigates the influence of public corporate debt on the willingness of UK firms to issue profit warnings. UK firms operate within a legal environment that is less litigious compared to their US counterparts. This setting allows for motives other than fear of litigation to affect UK companies' decision to warn. The results of this essay indicate that UK firms with public debt are more forthcoming with the disclosure of permanent negative news. Also, the results show that UK firms without public debt are more likely to hide bad news when they are closer to financial distress. However, for firms with public debt, the results indicate that the effect of closeness to financial distress on the willingness to warn is attenuated. These findings suggest that firms with public debt are deterred from hiding negative news for fear of damaging their reputation for truthful and timely disclosure. Public debt appears to act as a disciplinary mechanism on corporate disclosure policy.The second essay examines the impact of the initial public debt offering (IPDO) on the timeliness properties of the firm's accounting income. Firms are more likely to communicate with private lenders on a private, insider-basis, while they are more likely to communicate with bondholders using public information. Therefore, bondholders, compared to private lenders, are expected to be more sensitive to the quality of public information. The results indicate that firms adopt a timelier policy of economic loss recognition after their initial public debt offering using Basu's (1997) time series measure of timely loss recognition. These findings suggest that firms face higher demand for public information from a large number of external and dispersed bondholders.The third essay investigates the impact of information associated with prior private debt financing on the yield spread of companies' initial public debt offerings. Specifically, this essay focuses on information produced through monitoring by credit rating agencies and monitoring by banks. The findings indicate that IPDOs with the same or upgraded credit ratings enjoy significantly lower yield spreads. This finding suggests that changes in credit ratings could convey new information to investors regarding the firm's commitment to maintain a high credit quality. In addition, the findings of this essay indicate that strong banking relationships significantly reduce yield spreads for initial public debt offerings. This suggests that a strong banking relationship conveys a positive signal to bondholders regarding the bank's assessment of the quality of the firm.

<p>U radu su istražene transformacije gradskog bloka tokom XX i početkom XXI veka. U cilju razumevanja ovih procesa i načina na koji arhitektonski sklopovi predstavljaju određene socijalne, društvene vrednosti kroz prostor, proučeni su različiti aspekti tih odnosa kao što su veze između određenih arhitektonskih i urbanističkih modela i društvenih okolnosti u kojima nastaju, kao i veze određenih modela življenja i prostornih sklopova kroz njihove uzore i tehnike nastajanja. Razumevanje odnosa između različitih prostornih nivoa, na vrstu i prirodu tranzicije između javnog, privatnog i kolektivnog, gde se gradski blok i njegove transformacije pojavljuju kao glavno mesto, polje tih odnosa čini značajan deo ovog rada.</p> / <p>This thesis explores the transformation of a urban block in the XX and at beginning XXI century. In order to understand these processes and the ways in which architectural assemblies represent certain social values through space, this thesis explores and identifies various aspects of these relations as links between specific architectural and urban models and social circumstances in which they occur, it also define relationship between certain models of living and spatial configarations through their ideals and techniques of becoming. Understanding the relationships between different spatial levels, the type and nature of the transition between the public, private and collective, where transformations of urban block apperes as the main place of these relationships is also important part of this thesis.</p>

Procura-se descrever os efeitos restritivos deste ajuste fiscal a partir da inadequada coordenação da política fiscal e monetária. A política fiscal tornou-se subordinada à monetária, exigindo robustos superávits primários atrelados à ascendente e excessiva carga tributária. O orçamento, no entanto, permaneceu registrando déficit nominal. A maior parte das despesas públicas corresponde às despesas financeiras (juros e encargos da dívida). A política econômica e as medidas macroeconômicas tomadas no âmbito do ajuste fiscal no período que se trata provocaram a queda do multiplicador de gastos que, por sua vez, inibiu a geração de emprego, renda e consumo. A reflexão sobre a mensuração da carga tributária permite desenvolver uma análise crítica e descritiva do ajuste fiscal num contexto de dominância monetária e estabelecer o vínculo entre as decisões do governo, nas matérias fiscal e monetária, com o setor produtivo. Conseqüentemente, isso repercutiu sobre o nível de investimento e de reinvestimento na economia / This research aims to examine the effects of fiscal adjustment in the Brazilian economy during the period 1994 to 2008 on the chain. It seeks to describe the restrictive effects of fiscal adjustment from the inadequate coordination of monetary and fiscal policy. Fiscal policy has become subject to monetary policy, requiring robust primary surpluses and tied up the excessive tax burden. The budget, however, remained recording nominal deficit. Most public expenditure meets the financial expenses (interest and debt charges). The economic policy and the macroeconomic measures taken in the context of fiscal adjustment in the period that this precipitated the collapse multiplier of expenses that, in turn, inhibited the generation of employment, income and consumption. The discussion on the measurement of tax burden can develop a descriptive and critical analysis of fiscal adjustment in a context of monetary dominance and establish a link between the government decisions in matters fiscal and monetary policy, with the productive sector. Consequently, this impacted on the level of investment and reinvestment in the economy
