This paper engages in finding out the level of fidelity and satisfaction of students with preventive program Unplugged in school year 2013/ 2014. Target population of this program are students of 6th and 7th grades of elementary schools and students of first and sekond year of an eight- year grammar schools which are from 12 to 14 years old. Unplugged contains 12 lessons which are realized every three weeks. The main goal of this work was to find the level of satisfaction of students with program and with lessons of this program. Other goals were to discover comprehensibility and usefulness of program. The research was made by questionnaire method. As the main result of the paper I consider finding out the level of involvement of students in lessons which they participated in and the level of entertaining of lessons. Students marked positive answers to level of involvement in 76 % of cases. And as entertaining they marked more than 74 % of lesssons. Other important results were high level of comprehensibility of instructions in lessons (over 81 %) and with instructions in workbooks which were used during the program (more then 74 % of answers). Good results were discovered also for usefulness of lessons. In a little less than 12 % of cases students choosed for usefulness of lesson grade 3 or worse....

This report represents the next step of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)related research at the Department of Information Business at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Adminstration following previous work on the selection process. Based on 209 datasets originating from a primary, national and industry independent survey, it provides a descriptive oriented overview of main characteristics of ERP in all stages of the system's lifecycle, emphasising differences between small-to-medium sized and large enterprises (SMEs and LEs). The given research topics in particular comprise software diffusion, resources allocated, strategic project guidance, investment drivers, considered and chosen solutions, team structures, selection criteria, information gathering, methodical support, implementation approaches, acompanying business strategies, implementation problems, perceived utilisation of ERP benefits, firm level ERP impact, and the role of ERP systems as technology enabler. Future work based on the gathered data will document analytical projects undertaken in particular focusing on ERP success, enterprise integration, organisational fit of ERP, and BPR/BPI related questions. / Series: Working Papers on Information Systems, Information Business and Operations

This diploma thesis focuses on prevention and promotion in children's mental health on primary schools. Through mixed research design it explores institutional setting and current state of implementation of preventive and promoting activities at schools. It also gives a few "good practice" examples from other countries. The theoretical basis is drawn from public policy and health policy concepts - from public policy there is used the policy cycle framework, the governance concept and street-level bureaucracy theory. From health policy, this thesis uses the public health concept and primary prevention. The results show that meanwhile the issue of children's mental health prevention and promotion is taken very seriously on international level of governance and similar attitude was shown in schools themselves when questioned, the situation is different on the national level of governance. In particular, there is no explicit policy targeting this issue which leads to many inhomogeneous, fragmented activities on street-level (in schools) which then makes it very hard to evaluate, whether they have or have not the desired impact on children's mental health.

The second group was of associations/cooperatives that participated in the programin 2010, totaling a sample in each access of 15 representatives. The third group of subjects totaled with 309 representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations that received donations of food for the same period. Semi-structured interviews and forms were adopted as instruments of data collection.The data were processed qualitatively by the analysis of content (interviews and documents) and quantitatively by means of statistical tests that allowed inferences and adoption of frequencies. Among the key find ingests that the program is not standing as a structure supported by planning. The interests of the performers do not necessarily converge with the objectives of the Food Acquisition Program (PAA). A shockof goals was identified (within the same program) when comparingthe financial agent (Ministry of Rural Development and of Social Development and Fight Against Hunger Ministry r) and the executor, CONAB/RN. Within the assessed dimensions, the most fragileis the sub-managerial decision-making and Organizational Environment and internal assessment, still deserves attention the sizeof logistical and operational Subsystem, as this also proved weak.The focusin the quest toexpand thequantificationof the resultsof theFood Acquisition Program (PAA)by CONAB/RN does forget a quality management focused on what really should be:the compliance with the institutional objectives of the government program.Finally, the perspective for the traded implementation should be re-examined because excessive discretion by managers along with technical staff has characterized there al role of the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) as public policy. We conclude that the implementation model, which apparently aggregates values to the benefitted citizens, has weakened the context of work on family farms having the management model of the implementation process be reviewed by the Federal Government and point too ther paths, which have as a guide line the emancipation and developmentof the field or in the field andat the same time enables the reduction of nutritional deficiency of beneficiaries in a balanced and coherent way / A presente Tese objetivou avaliar a implementa??o do Programa de Aquisi??o de Alimentos (PAA) pela CONAB RN no per?odo 2003-2010 na percep??o dos atores envolvidos no processo de execu??o do programa governamental. Para o percurso metodol?gico foi adotada uma pesquisa bibliografia-descritiva e documental com abordagem triangular qualitativa e quantitativa, denominada tamb?m de pesquisa avaliativa. O modelo te?rico foi suportado pelos autores Draibe (2001), Aguilar e Ander Egg (1994) e Silva (2001), al?m de outros que abordaram o tema agricultura familiar e avalia??o de implementa??o de politica p?blica, tendo como categoria de an?lise a dimens?o implementa??o da politica e esta dividida em 10 dimens?es te?ricas. O universo foi constitu?do de tr?s grupos, o primeiro foram os gestores e t?cnicos da CONAB (RN e Bras?lia), totalizando 15 sujeitos. O segundo grupo foi de associa??es/cooperativas que participaram do programa em 2010, totalizando uma amostra por acesso de 15 representantes. O terceiro grupo de sujeitos totalizou com 309 representantes de institui??es governamentais e n?o governamentais que receberam doa??o de alimentos no mesmo per?odo. Foi adotado como instrumento de coleta de dados entrevistas semi estruturadas e formul?rios. Os dados foram tratados qualitativamente pela analise de conte?dos (entrevistas e documentos) e quantitativamente por meio de testes estat?sticos que possibilitaram infer?ncias e ado??o de frequ?ncias. Dentre os principais resultados tem-se que o programa n?o est? situando como uma estrutura suportada pelo planejamento. Os interesses dos executores n?o necessariamente convergem com os objetivos do PAA. Identificou-se choque de objetivos (do mesmo programa) quando comparado o agente financiador (Minist?rio do Desenvolvimento Agr?rio e Minist?rio de Desenvolvimento Social e Combate ? Fome) e a executora, CONAB RN. Dentro das dimens?es avaliadas a mais fragilizada ? o subsistema gerencial decis?rio e Ambiente Organizacional e avalia??o interna, ainda merece destaque a dimens?o Subsistema log?stico e operacional, pois este tamb?m, se mostrou debilitado. O foco na busca pela amplia??o da quantifica??o dos resultados do PAA pela CONAB RN faz esquecer uma gest?o de qualidade focada no que deveria realmente ser, o atendimento aos objetivos institucionais do programa governamental. Por fim, a perspectiva da implementa??o negociada deve ser reanalisada, pois a discricionariedade excessiva pelos gestores junto aos t?cnicos vem descaracterizando o real papel do PAA enquanto politica p?blica. Conclui-se que o modelo de implementa??o aparentemente agregador de valores aos cidad?os beneficiados, vem fragilizando o contexto do trabalho na agricultura familiar, tendo o modelo de gest?o do processo de implementa??o ser revisto pelo Governo Federal e apontar para outros caminhos, que tenham como eixo norteador a emancipa??o e o desenvolvimento do/no campo e ao mesmo tempo possibilite a redu??o da defici?ncia nutricional dos benefici?rios de forma equilibrada e coerente
