It has been claimed that since the dawn of democracy, there have been remarkable strides which were made to deal with the inequalities and disparities of the previous years. Former South African Police was reformed into a formidable South African Police Service that recognises the importance of women in the police. However, the SAPS is still one of the male-dominated organisations in this country. The inclusion and the retaining of women within operational policing and in management as well as leadership positions is still not yet successful. This research aimed to explore the causes for underrepresentation of policewomen in operational policing in Tshwane. The aim of this study was attained by gathering information through literature review, interviews and document analysis. In this qualitative study, semi-structured one-on-one interviews were conducted with twenty policewomen from four different identified police stations in Tshwane. Each identified police station was represented by five participants who directly perform operational policing. The findings of this study show that the organisation is still very unbalanced with the scale favouring males in operational policing. It is therefore recommended that SAPS should empower women in operational policing with the appropriate knowledge, skills and competencies through providing opportunities for career development and growth to successfully realise the SAPS’ dream of including and retaining women in operational policing, as well as in management and leadership positions and providing all women in the SAPS with the necessary support. The development and review of a regulatory framework and strategies that promote gender equality are also paramount. / Police Practice / M. Tech. (Policing)

Today’s leading brass chamber ensemble is the brass quintet, whose inception was relatively late compared to the string quartet or woodwind quintet. The first modern brass quintet formed in the 1950s, while the first string quartet can be traced to the 17th century. Compositions for woodwind quintet were written as early as 1811 during the Classical Period. The New York Brass Quintet, American Brass Quintet, and Annapolis Brass Quintet commissioned a large portion of the currently existing brass quintet literature. The literature grew exponentially as the brass quintet became popular in the 1960s. Also during this time, a new genre of works emerged for brass quintet with orchestral accompaniment. The paper references fifty-seven works for the brass quintet with orchestral accompaniment that were found through music catalogues, reviews, recordings and searching JSTOR, World Cat and Google. Since the author was not able to discover any scholarly treatment of this genre, this paper will address the gap and unearth the quantity of literature available. Many of these works are unrecorded. While there are many existing scores in the literature, there is a resurgence of compositions currently being written for brass quintet with orchestral accompaniment. This document is presented in two parts: Part I, “Overview of Brass Chamber Music in the Twentieth Century,” “Earliest Music in the United States for Brass Chamber Ensembles,” “A Brief History of the Modern Brass Quintet,” “Annapolis Brass Quintet,” and “A Survey of Existing Works for Brass Quintet and Orchestra.” The second part of this dissertation contains materials which are pertinent to the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree which include recital programs, program notes, and vita.

The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyse the process of professionalisation of newly commissioned second lieutenants and newly qualified school teachers. The professionalisation of these two occupational categories is examined from a comparative perspective and concentrates on the communicative conditions and institutional arenas that affect the professionalisation process. The theoretical framework of the thesis is comprised of communication theory and concepts of sense making found in institutional theory models. The empirical data was collected during the first year after second lieutenants received their officer’s commissions and teachers received their teaching credentials. Four second lieutenants and four teachers were interviewed three times during their first year of professional service. Some observations are also included in the thesis. The dissertation’s main conclusions are connected, in part, to issues of transparency in communicative conditions and, in part, to incentives connected to supervision, support and control. On the one hand, the commissioned officers’ and one of the teacher’s process of sensemaking appeared visible and collective in character, where the rules of conduct and meaning emerge clearly without ambiguity. On the other hand, the majority of the certified teachers’ process of sense making appeared private, concealed, inaccessible and diverse in character. It was observed that incentives for supervision, support and control are strong among commissioned officers because they are directly dependent on each other’s work. The same incentives are weaker among certified teachers because they are not as dependent on each other’s work. One conclusion to draw from this difference is that the professionalisation of commissioned officers is collective-oriented while the professionalisation of certified teachers is less so.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-08-06 / Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie / The present work aims to provide a general panorama of Brazilian anti-corruption system with the scope of checking in which dimention the current public probity control mechanisms are effective, as well as, on the contrary, if there are legal instruments which, despite appearing to protect probity, actually, militate against it. The study seeks to investigate the links between policy corruption and the current stage of democratic representation in the contemporary state. This work raises three hypothesis about political affairs that relate with probity. The first regards party-voter links and its reflexes, including the private financing of electoral campaigns, the re-election, the need to create mechanisms that oblige governments to fulfill campaign promises and the possibility to carry out the policy reform through specific constituent assembly. The second theme is the nomination of high state authorities, including the Superior Courts, questioning the existence of political nominations for positions that require knowledge of a technical nature. The final hypothesis regards the unreasonable growth of commissioned positions in the government. Finally, the research indicates some elements which would have the power to strengthen the protection of integrity, as the growth in public administration transparency, the articulation of institutions involved in probity protection, the universalization of public services, valuing career servers, the protection of whistleblowers and citizenship education. / O presente trabalho pretende fornecer um panorama geral do sistema brasileiro anticorrupção com o escopo de aferir em que medida os atuais mecanismos de controle da probidade pública são eficazes, bem como, ao revés, se existem instrumentos legais que, a despeito de aparentarem tutelar a probidade, na verdade militam contra ela. O estudo busca, ainda, investigar os vínculos da corrupção política com o atual estágio da representação democrática no estado contemporâneo. No bojo do trabalho são levantadas três hipóteses de questões políticas que guardam relação com a probidade. A primeira trata dos vínculos partidários-eleitorais e seus reflexos, abrangendo o financiamento privado de campanhas eleitorais, a reeleição, a necessidade de criar mecanismos que obriguem os governantes a cumprirem as promessas de campanha e a possibilidade de realizar a reforma política por meio de assembléia constituinte específica. A segunda é a nomeação de altas autoridades de Estado, inclusive das Cortes Superiores, em que se questiona a necessidade da existência de nomeações de natureza política para cargos que demandam conhecimento de natureza técnica. A hipótese final toca o crescimento desarrazoado dos cargos em comissão. Por fim, a pesquisa indica alguns elementos que teriam o condão de fortalecer a proteção da probidade, ainda que de forma indireta, como o crescimento da transparência na administração pública, a articulação das instituições ligadas à tutela da probidade, a universalização de serviços públicos, a valorização dos servidores de carreira, a proteção de denunciantes (whistleblowers) e a educação para a cidadania.

De 1872 à 1914, l’armée française s’ouvre à un ensemble toujours plus grand de Français venus accomplir leur service militaire obligatoire. L’armée devient alors une « armée nationale » en ce sens qu’elle réunit la nation et l’institution militaire à travers l'imaginaire politique du « soldat-citoyen ». Au-delà des discours et des postures idéologiques entourant le thème de l’armée nationale, l’objectif de cette recherche est de comprendre comment l’institution militaire a été transformée par l’universalisation progressive du service et de saisir les effets éventuels de celui-ci dans la société française de la Belle Époque. L’approche méthodologique retenue est celle d’une socio-histoire de l’armée, réalisée à partir d’un groupe méconnu, celui des sous-officiers dont la position et le statut permettent d’explorer les mécanismes ordinaires de la promotion hiérarchique et de la discipline dans le rang. Cette approche permet de comprendre comment la défense d’une « spécificité militaire » a renforcé la domination symbolique des officiers sur la troupe. L’attention portée à l’avancement révèle également la progression, à tous les niveaux de la hiérarchie, du principe de la méritocratie scolaire qui transforme les rapports sociaux et hiérarchiques dans l’armée. Enfin, l’étude des « règles du jeu » disciplinaires par lesquelles les sous-officiers exercent leur contrôle sur la troupe permet de mieux cerner les raisons de l’obéissance militaire obtenue dans les casernes avant 1914. Ces dynamiques éclairent en définitive l’organisation d’une institution dont les critères de recrutement, de promotion et les techniques disciplinaires, élaborés en temps de paix, ne disparaissent pas dans les tranchées de la Première Guerre mondiale. / From 1872 to 1914, the French Army kept incorporating a growing number of young men who came to perform their military service. Thus, the Army became a « National Army » , associating the Nation and the military institution through the figure of the « citizen-soldier ». Beyond words and ideological postures, the point of this research is to comprehend how the military institution and the French society have been transformed by compulsory military service. To this end, a socio-historical approach focusing on non-commissioned officers, allows us to explore the features of hierarchical promotion and military discipline. This research reveals how the defense of the « military specifics» was a way of strengthening the symbolic domination of officers. A notice to military promotion also reveals the crucial part of meritocracy which transformed social and hierarchical relations in the French Army. Finally, the analysis of disciplinary rules give reasons for military obedience into the barracks. These elements enlighten how the criteria for recruitment, promotions and disciplinary procedures developed during peacetime did not disappear after 1914.

Sedan början av 2000-talet har Försvarsmakten genomfört en mängd förändringar med sin organisation och personal. Nedskärningarna av förband tillsammans med ett ökat fokus på internationella insatser i början av 00-talet har under slutet av 10-talet förändrats till en tillväxt av förband samt en återgång till ett nationellt fokus. Yrkesofficerarnas profession har förändrats genom införandet av ett tvåbefälssystem under slutet av 00-talet från ett enbefälssystem, likväl som att värnplikten lades vilande 2010 och anställda soldater introducerades i organisationen. Sedan 2018 är värnplikten återinförd med utbildning av soldater och gruppbefäl, 9 respektive 11 månader. Från och med sommaren 2021 återinförs 15 månaders värnpliktiga, som övertar befattningar i krigsorganisationen som tidigare bemannats av yrkesofficerare. Studien utforskar vad detta införande innebär för yrkesofficersprofessionen, vilka konsekvenser som uppstår likväl som hur införandet bör implementeras. Genom intervjuer av åtta respondenter från Trängregementet i Skövde utforskas införandet ur yrkesofficerarnas perspektiv. Studien tar hjälp av Bolman och Deal’s fyra perspektiv på organisation och ledarskap samt Runsten och Werr’s modell för kunskapsintegration för att förstå och tolka organisationsförändringen. Införandet av 15 månaders värnpliktiga omfattar yrkesofficerarnas förväntningar på förändringen, som baseras från tidigare erfarenheter men innehåller även farhågor och positiva förväntningar. Erfarenheten att utbilda dessa värnpliktiga saknas idag på grundutbildningskompanierna, denna kunskap återfinns hos äldre yrkesofficerare i högre nivåer - varvid ett utbyte av gamla erfarenheter i dagens kontext är en framgångsfaktor. Införandet påverkar även utbildning och övningar för förbanden, då värnplikten sker under en längre tid samt att de värnpliktiga ställer ett ökat ansvarstagande hos plutonchefer. Professionen för främst specialistofficerare förändras, genom att värnpliktiga innehar samma grad som specialistofficerare likväl som att expertisen för specialistofficerare kommer ta längre tid att uppnå. En maktförskjutning sker från yrkesofficerare till värnpliktiga, vilket främst påverkar unga specialistofficerare. Studien rekommenderar Försvarsmakten att överse nuvarande styrdokument och uppdatera dessa, samt vidare utveckla yrkesofficersprofessionen. Studien rekommenderar Försvarsmakten att med nuvarande indelning i trebefälssystemet att sergeantsgraden är lämplig för de värnpliktiga och att en förstegsutbildning är bäst lämpad för att utbilda och öva sig till ställföreträdande plutonchef. Om Försvarsmakten inför värnpliktiga plutonchefer i framtiden bör detta föregås av en analys utifrån den militära professionen och trebefälssystemet. / Since the early 2000’s the Swedish Armed Forces has conducted several changes concerning its organization and personnel. The downsizings of units as well as an increased focus on international operations in the early 2000’s have changed to a growth of units and a return to a national focus. The professions of professional officers have changed with the transformation from a single-command system to a two-officer system in the late 00s, as well as the pause of national conscript service in 2010 and introduction of professional soldiers within the organization. The national conscript service was reintroduced in 2018, for soldiers and squad leaders between 9 and 11 months. During the summer of 2021, 15 months conscript service will be reintroduced. These new conscripts will take over the positions previously manned by professional officers in the wartime organization. The study explores the reintroduction’s affects for professional officers, what consequences that occur as well as how the reintroduction should be implemented. Through interviews with eight respondents from the Logistics regiment in Skövde the reintroduction is explored through the professional officers’ view. The study seeks guidance from Bolman and Deal’s four perspectives on organization and leadership and also Runsten and Werr’s model for integration of knowledge, to be able to understand and interpret the organizational change. The reintroduction of 15 months conscripts includes professional officers’ expectations of the change, which is based from earlier experiences but also includes concerns and hopes. There is a lack of experience to train this new category of conscripts today at company level, the ability to do so is found in older officers in higher echelons – therefore an exchange of old experiences in the context of today is a criterion for success. The reintroduction also affects the training and the field exercises, because the conscript service is prolonged and the conscripts require an increased responsibility from the platoon leader. The profession for non-commissioned officers (NCO) changes - through the use of the same rank by conscripts and NCO’s. It will also take longer time for NCO’s to achieve expertise within their profession. A shift of power occurs from professional officers to conscripts, which mostly affects junior NCO’s. The study recommends the Swedish Armed Forces to overlook its current steering documents and to update these, and also to further develop its military profession for all officers. The study recommends the Armed Forces that with the current officer system, the rank of sergeant is well suited for these conscripts and the conscripts service should be based upon a pre-training concept to be able to succeed as deputy platoon leader. If the Armed Forces introduce conscripts as platoon leaders in the future, an analysis should be conducted prior to the change, concerning the military profession and the three-officer system.

Försvarsmakten tillväxer sedan beslut togs om återinförande av värnplikt respektive utökade ekonomiska ramar för Försvarsmakten i slutet på 2010-talet av rikets ledning. Tillväxten innebär att ett ökande behov av personal måste tillgodoses och yrkesofficerare utgör en nyckelkategori att rekrytera för att kunna effektuera tillväxten. Inom ramen för tillväxtbehovet återfinns yrkesofficerare som kan utbilda och leda enheter avsedda för skydd mot massförstörelsevapen och det finns yrkesofficersutbildningar med inriktning just för detta område. Problemet är att rekryteringsorganisationen är liten för att åstadkomma detta. Syftet med denna studie är att förstå hur rekryteringen av värnpliktiga till officerutbildningarna med inriktningen, skydd mot massförstörelsevapen, kan förbättras och därmed utvecklas.  Studien är genomförd som en kvalitativ, induktiv studie och de kvalitativa data som ligger till grund för studien är inhämtad genom workshops med värnpliktiga, kadetter och nyanställda yrkesofficerare. Förutsättningarna för rekryteringen har sammanställts ur intervjuer. Resultatet av studien visar att image och konkurrens utgör hinder för rekryteringen och att rekryteringen kan förbättras genom att vidta åtgärder som skapar mening att vilja bli yrkesofficer med denna speciella inriktning. De slutsatser som har dragits är att meningsgivande information om dessa specialiserade yrkesofficerare behöver spridas målgruppsinriktat på sociala media samt att förbandproduktionen för denna specialiserade funktion behöver decentraliseras. / The Swedish Armed Forces is growing due to decisions made by the Swedish government in the late second decade of the 21st century. The growth means that the Swedish Armed Forces needs to expand its employed staff and especially there is need for increasing numbers of officers and noncommissioned officers. The recruitment, necessary for the Swedish Armed Forces employed staff, includes officers and noncommissioned officers specialized in handling protection against weapons of mass destruction. There are specialized military officers training programs for this purpose in Sweden. The problem is that there is a small organization for recruitment for this purpose. The purpose of this thesis is to gain understanding of how the recruitment from conscripts training to these specialized officers training courses can be improved and developed. The thesis has a qualitative method, and inductive approach. The data has been collected through workshops with conscripts, cadets and newly employed officers. The conditions for recruitment have been collected through interviews. The results of this thesis shows that image and competition are obstacles for the recruitment and that recruitment needs to be improved with sensemaking measures. The conclusions are that sensegiving information about these specialized officers should be presented on social media and that the production of the specialized units for this organization should be dispersed geographically in Sweden.

The purpose of this essay has been to investigate the conditions for making the Swedish national public art collections available with the help of digitization. Together with the art owned by the state the municipalities' and regions' art holdings have also been added to the delimitation, and in addition, the interpretation of the concept of public art is made broad by including both traditional framed and easily moveable art together with building-related art. The art collection in the focus of the essay is thus managed in a decentralized structure which is examined with a survey and a case study. The survey provides quantitative data on the size of the art collection and the choice of system. The case study aims to highlight the importance of the organizational form and to describe how digital technology is used today to make art accessible.  A summation of the municipal, regional and state collections of public art amounts to approximately one million works of art. The survey also showed that there is a great deal of variation when it comes to the choice of administrative data system for inventorying and otherwise managing the public sector's art collections. In order to be able to draw conclusions based on the choice of collection systems, a taxonomy was developed where a total of 35 different systems were sorted into five different characteristics. The analysis showed that the large art collections get more appropriate systems than small art collections and that there are rational grounds for these choices.  The case study showed that there is a great deal of variation when it comes to titles and naming of organizational units. The staff who work with art in the case study's small to medium-sized municipalities often have many and widely different areas of responsibility. Among the regions of the case study, there are examples of art being managed by the property administration, but the most common is that the activity belongs to the cultural administration. In the case study, it is not possible to find any connection between organizational form and degree of accessibility. On the other hand, it is expressed that shared premises with a museum provide a richer professional context. The degree of accessibility in the case study is as low as 1% of the collection in most cases. The way that art is made available, via an individual municipality or region's website, or social media, makes it difficult to search widely for works of art owned by the Swedish public sector. This last observation also becomes an essential part of the conclusion that the conditions for making public art accessible via digitization exist, but it is not a work that seems to be progressing successfully today.

依據我國國防報告書指出，國防部近年基於我國「國防法」之立法精神，結合行政院「擴大內需」與「激勵市場」之政策指導，逐步推展各項「國防資源釋商」規劃及相關作為，藉以將國防資源挹注國內市場，提升我國科技及工業水準。 依現階段我國國防資源釋商規劃，除了增加國防預算投注國內金額比例，期達成有效提高民間參與國防建設之意願與能力，促進國家產業及經發展等目的，並且逐步落實一般性軍需全部向國內採購，現有武器裝備之非核心維持能量，亦逐步規劃釋出民間承接；新武器裝備需求，民間能自製者，則不向外採購，軍方得不建立能量；運用「減少軍中自辦業務」、「降低國外採購金額」及「擴大釋商預算規模」等3原則，進行國防資源配置調整，以擴大國內釋商規模。 以「國有民營」計畫為例，國防部自民國88年進入實驗規劃階段，並於民國90年11月依「國防法」第22條授權制定完成「國防部科技工業機構委託民間經營管理辦法」，業經行政院召開跨部會會議審核通過，於民國91年3月1日施行，據以加速國有民營個案推動。國防部現已完成軍備局第302經理品生產工廠轉型，成為軍方國有民營成功首例，未來可針對機敏性低且軍民通用性高之國防科技工業機構，逐依執行成效檢討辦理委託民營；本研究旨在探討國防資源釋商政策─國有民營案執行成效，並提出未來策略規劃精進建議。 / The National Defense Report indicates that the MND has been prosecuting various privatization plans of national defense resources. These plans are based on the conception of the National Defense Act and are to cooperate with the Executive Yuan's policy to expand domestic needs and to stimulating market. It also aims to inject capital to the domestic markets and to improve domestic technology levels. MND will reduce military engagement and foreign procurement expenditure to expand privatization budget. The capital injection into domestic market is intended to encourage non-military industries to participate in defense developments and to promote domestic economics. General military necessities will continuously be purchased from domestic supplier and the maintainance of the subordinate military components will be taken over by non-military industries. The future purchase of new weapons and equipment which can be domestically manufactured will be exclusive to non-military suppliers in Taiwan. Take the Government-Owned Company-Operated project (GOCO) for example. MND has initiated the test-run phase of the project since 1999. In November 2001, MND promulgated the draft of “Regulations of the Operation and Management of National Defense Technology Institutions by Private Entities”, according to Article 22 of the National Defense Act. The draft has been reviewed and approved by the Executive Yuan and took effect on March 1 2001 to boost the promotion of GOCO system. MND has completed the privatization of Military Necessity Factory No. 302, which is the first success of GOCO. MND will keep privatizing national defense industry of low confidentiality and high common utilities. This thesis aims to analyse the policy of defense resources privatization, by virtue of the case study of GOCO, and to offer suggestions for policy formulation in the future.

This thesis examines the Citizen Military Forces (CMF) from 1947 until it ceased to exist under that name with the release of the report of the Millar Inquiry in 1974. This thesis examines three broad areas: the organizational changes that the CMF adopted or had imposed upon it; the political decision-making surrounding the CMF; and a social analysis of the CMF which questions the viability and validity of a number of the CMF???s long held precepts. The thesis will show that the majority of circumstances and decisions surrounding the CMF were beyond its control. For example, the CMF could not change the prevailing military thought of the post-war period which emphasized increasingly the role of smaller, professional, readily-available armies. The first three chapters recount the CMF???s ???heyday??? in which the Army, assisted by National Service after 1950, was based around it and its influence at the highest levels was strongest. The next two chapters chronicle the background to Australia???s adoption of the ???Pentropic??? organization and the repercussions this had on the CMF. Chapters Six and Seven examine the consequences of the introduction of a second compulsory service scheme and the concomitant result which precluded the CMF from operational service in Vietnam. Chapters Eight and Nine deal with the Millar Inquiry, which offered the CMF a new hope, but in some regards, brought forth little beneficial gains for the CMF. The final chapters analyze some of the characteristics unique to the CMF, such as territorial affiliation, high turnover rates amongst the rank and file and the concept of the ???brilliant amateur???. This thesis concludes that, despite the mixed performance of the CMF, there is still a place for the citizen soldier in contemporary warfare, but far more consideration at the highest political and military levels must be given to the peculiar and difficult, but by no means insurmountable, problems citizen soldiering encounters in Australia.
