Within this reality, we will study the essential principles related to evidence definition and the truth as part of a regular procedural environment. Nevertheless, we shall consider crucial evidence-related elements such as hierarchy levels and the over-exaggeration of witnesses' testimonies within labor proceedings. The essay’s key scope is to point out that the recurrent devaluation of documented evidence over witnesses shall create enormous disadvantages. In addition, such measure shall undermine the search for the actual truth within labor proceedings and deliver a sensation of insecurity to all the involved in a specific dispute, especially given that witnesses can be extremely fragile and cast shadow over reality. After all the necessary reflections, this essay shall suggest eventual mechanisms to analyze evidences produced before courts, targeting the preservation of the actual truth and the continuity of the confidence in the Courts of Law / O presente estudo se propõe a examinar um dos problemas atuais da Justiça do Trabalho, qual seja, a valoração desmedida da prova testemunhal em detrimento da documental. Na esteira desta realidade abordar-se-á princípios próprios do campo probatório, bem ainda far-se-á uma análise da verdade dentro do campo processual. Não se perderá de vista, ainda, questões cruciais no campo probatório, como, por exemplo, a hierarquia da prova e a utilização desenfreada da prova testemunhal dentro do processo juslaboral. O escopo primordial do trabalho será demonstrar que a desvalorização recorrente da prova documental frente a testemunhal pode trazer grandes prejuízos ao jurisdicionado. Tal atitude também pode impor obstáculos na busca pela verdade dentro do processo e criar uma sensação de insegurança jurídica aos envolvidos na lide trabalhista, mormente porque a prova testemunhal, por sua própria essência, é extremamente frágil e, por vezes, maquiar a realidade dos fatos. Após todas as ponderações necessárias, o objetivo deste trabalho é sugerir mecanismos de análise das provas produzidas em juízo, no intuito de se preservar a verdade real e a continuidade da confiança no Poder Judiciário Laboral

This dissertation aims to investigate whether the Labor Law can absorb the modern civilian mechanisms focused on social values for the contract work is viewed from the perspective of its social function and in this context, what is the role of the judiciary in the confrontation of rights and basic values of the conflicts that arise between capital and labor. Justification. It is important and controversial issue, not only by innovations positivist that justify differences in doctrine and jurisprudence, as the profound effects on labor relations. Resizing constitutional elevation to the status of the work of social value, the advancement of the Civil Code reformulated through flexible mechanisms focused on social values and growing with new infra positivation optimal signal design for a new employment contract: it carries on social function. And this new perspective highlights the role of the judiciary that takes the stormy challenge of seeking mechanisms that reconcile the different normative sources for the composition of labor disputes. Theoretical and methodological aspects. For the preparation of this essay different scientific methods were used based on the logical and investigative nature - historical, sociological, dogmatic and comparative. It also adopted the analytic-synthetic method, with analysis of juridical texts for the findings. About the techniques, were made research in legal texts, doctrine and jurisprudence, according to the usual scientific methodology / Objetivo. A presente dissertação tem por objetivo investigar se o Direito do Trabalho pode absorver os modernos mecanismos civilistas focados nos valores sociais para que o contrato de trabalho seja visto sob a perspectiva de sua função social e, nesse contexto, qual o papel do judiciário no confronto de direitos e valores básicos que afloram dos conflitos entre capital e trabalho. Justificativa. Trata-se de tema relevante e polêmico, não só pelas inovações positivadas que justificam divergências na doutrina e jurisprudência, como pelas profundas repercussões nas relações laborais. O redimensionamento constitucional de elevação do trabalho à condição de valor social, o avanço do Código Civil reformulado a partir de mecanismos flexíveis focados nos valores sociais e a crescente positivação infraconstitucional com os novos ideais sinalizam uma nova concepção para o contrato de trabalho: que ele exerça sua função social. E essa nova perspectiva põe em relevo a atuação do judiciário que assume o tormentoso desafio de buscar mecanismos aptos a conciliar as diversas fontes normativas para a composição dos conflitos trabalhistas. Aspectos teórico-metodológicos. Para a elaboração da presente dissertação foram utilizados diversos métodos científicos - histórico, sociológico, dogmático e comparativo de natureza lógico-investigatória. Foi, ainda, adotado o método analítico-sintético, com a análise de textos jurídicos para as conclusões obtidas. Quanto às técnicas, foram feitas pesquisas em textos legais, doutrina e jurisprudência, de acordo com a metodologia científica usual

Researchers have documented that high expectations do not always result in higher achievement, but the reason for varying results has not been clearly understood. This correlational study was done to find out if the degree of presence of principal leadership characteristics can predict when high expectations are effective and when they are not. Expectancy and transformational leadership theories provided the framework for identifying 9 principal leadership characteristics that might influence student scores on Colorado statewide testing. Existing student testing data were considered the dependent variable, while survey data on the leadership behaviors of Colorado middle school principals were used for the independent variables. Data were tested using a correlational regression analysis. The transformational leadership independent variables of beneficial modeling, inspirational motivation, systems thinking, individualized consideration, and empowerment were each found to be significantly related to statewide test scores at the .05 level. The high expectations variable was not found to be significantly related to test scores by itself but was found to be significant (p = .016) when transformational leadership characteristics were also high. Principals who were perceived to provide teachers with the environment they needed to facilitate student achievement were correlated with higher test scores. Implications for social change include public policy makers' support for transformational educational leadership as a part of providing teachers with what they need in order to meet high expectations.

The report evolves from previous work in the field that questions the efficacy of the 50-year rule, or criterion consideration G, of the National Register of Historic Places program to register and protect modern and recent past resources. Proponents of the recent past argue that by restricting evaluation of historic architecture to only that which is 50-years or older is leading to widespread endangerment and demolition of buildings and sites with periods of significance from the postwar era. This report studies the use of criterion G in-depth since the inception of the National Register program and attempts to identify and quantify the resources lost through continued adherence to the 50-year rule. The analysis is done in two parts. Part one examines the history of the use of criterion G by tracking patterns in the National Register of Historic Places data between 1966 and 2010 to determine how and where the case for exceptional significance has been made. Part two challenges the capacity of the existing framework of the 50-year rule and the NRHP program to protect the recent past by surveying the current status of a 145 AIA award-winning buildings from the 1960s. Most are virtually undiscovered in the canon of American architectural history, and all could likely be found as exceptionally significant. The study finds more than 75% of the AIA award-winners standing and possessing good integrity, but only 6% actually listed on the Register. The report concludes that we are losing less to outright demolition than estimated, but lack of context studies and an inconsistent vocabulary for postwar architecture is preventing the registration of intact resources from the 1960s that could greatly benefit from the awareness and recognition that is the primary purpose of the National Register. / text

How does one know whether a service is supplied against payment? While the answer to that question appears to be self-evident, it is, in fact, the sole reason for a host of court procedures across the world of VAT. Indeed, the underlying concept of a supply for consideration has eluded and continues to elude courts and practitioners. This is in part due to the wide range of transactions that are arguably such that they cannot be categorised as a supply for consideration (i.e., a supply against payment). It is, e.g., not obvious how to treat the transaction happening when a by-passer gives a few coins to a street musician, considering that it is debatable whether the coins constitute payment for a music service or a gift given out of sympathy. As an attempt to elucidate the concept of a supply for consideration, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has developed the so called direct link test, consisting of four criteria. The  test  is  applied  in  cases  where  the  nexus  between  a  supply  and  a consideration is indefinite or called into doubt. Given that the CJEU is the supreme interpreter of EU law, the direct link test has consequently become a standardised test in all 28 Member States of the EU. In other jurisdictions, such as Australia and New Zealand, there stands no equally established test to resolve the question of a nexus. More so, the courts of these jurisdictions do not necessarily adhere to the same notions as the CJEU. Against this background, the criteria of the direct link test have been analysed as well as compared to the notions prevailing in other jurisdictions. Following the comparative studies, it stands evident that there are, in some instances, radically different understandings of what kind of transactions that constitute a supply for consideration. These differences exist between courts of different jurisdictions as well as courts of the same jurisdiction. Certainly, there will always be disagreements in respect of legal queries; however, by virtue of the comparative studies, divergences of a more conceptual nature have been unearthed. In turn, these conceptual divergences demonstrate the existence of fundamentally different perceptions of the concept of a supply for consideration within the world of VAT. In light of the analysis, the author has concluded that the direct link test is appropriate for the purpose it is meant to serve. That said, the actual application of the test leaves room for improvement, which may to some extent be sought in the rules and notions prevailing in other jurisdictions and in the comments and critiques put forward by scholars.

Suggérée à l'analyse de la jurisprudence rendue sur le thème de la flexibilité du contrat, la théorie générale de l'objectif économique du contrat a pour point de départ l'identification d'un premier objectif : l'exploitation commune de clientèle. Parce que le caractère commun de l'exploitation traduit l'existence d'objectifs identiques aux parties, cet objectif de nature économique s'inscrit, en effet, comme celui du contrat, support juridique de sa réalisation. Présent au sein de conventions diverses, il n'est, du reste, pas isolé. La mise en évidence d'autres types d'objectifs économiques construits sur ce même modèle permet ainsi une conceptualisation de la notion. La réalité de l'objectif économique du contrat laisse alors présager de sa possible réception par le Droit. Sa reconnaissance demeure toutefois subordonnée à sa disponibilité, d'une part et à son utilité, d'autre part. Distinct sans pour autant être autonome des conditions de validité que sont la cause et l'objet, l'objectif économique ne saurait davantage s'identifier à l'économie de la convention. Apte à siéger aux côtés de ces notions, l'objectif offre, en outre, de nouvelles perspectives. Indissociable de la notion d'intérêt commun économique, il en constitue le révélateur, justifiant ainsi que tous les contrats marqués par sa présence soient reconnus comme étant d'intérêt commun. Fondement d'une ouverture du domaine de l'intérêt commun, l'objectif permet encore d'étendre le bénéfice du droit à une indemnité compensatrice et de reconnaître l'existence implicite des obligations d'adaptation et de renégociation hors la sphère du mandat d'intérêt commun. La notion aurait donc sa place en Droit positif. / The analysis of the case law relating to the flexibility in contract suggests the general theory of the economic goal of the contract. This theory comes from the identification of a first objective: the common exploitation of a clientele. Since the common nature of exploitation conveys the existence of identical objectives for the parties, this economic goal becomes the objective of the contract, legal mean of its fulfillment. This goal can be found in many agreements and is not isolated. The presentation of other types of economic goals built on the same pattern allows a conceptualization of the notion. The existence of the economic goal of the contract suggests its possible receipt by the Law. However its recognition is conditioned both by its transferability and utility. The economic goal must be distinguished from the validity conditions such as consideration and subject matter, although it is not independent from these conditions. This goal is also different from the economy of the convention. Besides these notions, the economic goal offers new perspectives. Profoundly linked to the notion of common economic interest, it appears as its revealing and justifies that each contract should be qualified as a common interest contract. The economic goal is the ground for the opening of the scope of common interest and enables to extend the benefit of a right to a pecuniary relief and to acknowledge the implicit existence of obligations to adapt and renegotiate, apart from the common interest mandate. This notion should thus find its place in positive law.

The present study is destined identifying ways of looking for the efetivação of the dignity of the human person what concerns the persons with deficiency, supporting this group of persons for a long period invisible to the eyes of the society and of the standards. On basis of the beginnings it is looked to question the standards that treat on the deficiency in Brazil, in special, the Code of Civil Process, the Civil Code and the Statute of the Person with Deficiency, in such a way that the importance is emphasized of undertaking what the mere formal constitucionalização will not attend to the necessities of the deficients. point to the consideration of Alexy as way of there are resolved eventual conflicts that put in opposite sides constitutional beginnings, when for are looked to counterweigh them through the observation of the necessity of the intervention, and looking still for bases that justify the stated intervention, so that it is possible to promote then the effective consideration in the limited and true sense Then the enlargement of the Right is proposed before the countless means brought by the modern life, thinking that the standard made positive hardly cannot serve as an exclusive parameter for solutions of the lawsuits that appear day by day. In this context direciona-se the focus of the present dissertation for analysis of the alterations promoted in the legislation which it notices to the protection dispensed to the persons with deficiency, passing for the historical one of this group of citizens freed of countless rights, questioning still the standards that negotiate on the subject, as well as the efficiency of these standards, under the optics of Alexy. The claim is to provoke the reflection on the tendency of opening of the legal systems in search of the effectiveness of the rights. It intends to build a break-even point between the material Right and the native legal ordenamento, so that the dissemination and the acquaintance is promoted on the concept of deficiency and his peculiarities, bringing deficient at once to the social breast. / O presente estudo se destina a identificar meios de buscar a efetivação da dignidade da pessoa humana no que toca às pessoas com deficiência, amparando esse grupo de pessoas por um longo período invisíveis aos olhos da sociedade e das normas. Com base nos princípios buscase questionar as normas que tratam sobre a deficiência no Brasil, em especial, o Código de Processo Civil, o Código Civil e o Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência, de forma que seja ressaltada a importância de atentar que a mera constitucionalização formal não atender às necessidades dos deficientes. Aponta-se a ponderação de Alexy como meio de se resolver eventuais conflitos que ponham em lados opostos princípios constitucionais, buscando-se sopesá-los por meio da constatação da necessidade da intervenção, e buscando ainda fundamentos que justifiquem a dita intervenção, para que se possa então promover a efetiva ponderação no sentido restrito e verdadeiro. Então propõe-se a ampliação do Direito diante das inúmeras possibilidades trazidas pela vida moderna, considerando que a norma positivada apenas não pode servir como parâmetro exclusivo para soluções dos litígios que surgem dia a dia. Nesse contexto direciona-se o foco da presente dissertação para análise das alterações promovidas na legislação no que atine à proteção dispensada às pessoas com deficiência, passando pelo histórico desse grupo de cidadãos alijados de inúmeros direitos, questionando ainda as normas que tratam sobre o tema, bem como a eficácia dessas normas, sob a ótica de Alexy. A pretensão é provocar a reflexão sobre a tendência de abertura dos sistemas jurídicos em busca da efetividade dos direitos. Pretende-se construir um ponto de equilíbrio entre o Direito material e o ordenamento jurídico pátrio, de modo que se promova a disseminação e o conhecido sobre o conceito de deficiência e suas particularidades, trazendo os deficiente de uma vez para o seio social. / São Cristóvão, SE

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att utvärdera participation i ett förändringsarbete inom hälso- och sjukvården, i ett projekt för kvalitetsutveckling och processorientering inom vårdkedjan i Höglandsområdet, Jönköpings läns landsting. Den övergripande målsättningen med projektet var att utveckla ett processorienterat och därigenom mer helhetsorienterat vårdsystem, för att uppnå bättre kvalitet för äldre vårdtagare, som ofta har behov av behandling vid olika enheter i vårdkedjan. Syftet med studien var också att utvärdera hur participation förhåller sig till ständigt förbättringsarbete och lärande i riktning mot en processorientering av vårdkedjan och ökat fokus på patienten. Vårdinstanserna i vårdkedjan inom samtliga sex kommuner och primärvårdsområden i Höglandsregionen, såväl som en medicinklinik och en rehabiliteringsklinik vid två olika sjukhus, har medverkat i studien. 55 personer, som representerade de olika yrkeskategorierna inom vårdkedjan, har deltgit i utvärderingen. Studien utfördes med hjälp av fokusgrupper och materialet analyserades ur ett fenomenografiskt perspektiv. Resultaten visar att participation på alla nivåer i organisationen är en förutsättning för ett uthålligt kvalitetsutvecklingsarbete och en processorientering av vårdkedjan. Omfattningen av participationen avspeglas i omfattningen av ständigt förbättringsarbete och lärande. Kritiska faktorer var ledningens förmåga att kommunicera med och informera de anställda, ledningens engagemang i fråga om att driva ett strukturerat och långsiktigt förändringsarbete, ett tydligt processägarskap inom vårdkedjan och adekvata resurser. Resultaten genererade åtskilliga intressanta frågor för fortsatt forskning och utveckling.

This thesis focuses on business combinations according to IFRS and Czech accounting regulations. According to IFRS, Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) is a vital tool in acquisition reporting and therefore this paper mainly focuses on it. The theoretical part serves as a solid based for the empirical part, highlighting the main differences within the examined accounting types. The empirical part primarily focuses on setting the purchase price containing a contingent consideration, newly identified intangible assets and contingent liabilities reporting, and also net asset's fair value valuation to the acquisition date. The results show a major difference and drawbacks in using the Czech accounting regulations when solving business combinations.
