La presente tesi si propone di comprendere come le organizzazioni chiamate ad agire in mercati complessi siano in grado di produrre, sedimentare, utilizzare, condividere e rendere disponibile la propria conoscenza. La ricerca si focalizza sulle organizzazioni creative legate all'artigianato d’eccellenza in quanto realtà ancora poco esplorate e all'interno delle quali il tema proposto è percepito in misura crescente. Dallo studio emergono due risultati significativi raggiunti grazie all’elaborazione di una review della letteratura e di un’indagine qualitativa condotta sul campo. Il primo risultato è la constatazione di un recente interesse da parte degli studi accademici per il tema della conoscenza e del suo trasferimento con riferimento alle industrie creative dell’artigianato d’eccellenza. Il secondo risultato mette in risalto la relazione tra trasferimento del saper fare e creazione di manufatti d’eccellenza, e riconosce il maestro d’arte come figura cruciale di questo processo di trasferimento della conoscenza (knowledge transfer) in quanto detentore di un sapere che costituisce ed alimenta il valore unico ed esclusivo dei manufatti. Il lavoro proposto riconosce quindi nel sapere dei maestri d’arte una risorsa cardine da valorizzare e trasmettere, in quanto leva di sviluppo di sistemi produttivi basati sulla qualità, sull’eccellenza e sulla differenziazione. / The goal of this study is to understand how organizations operating in a complex market are able to produce, leave sediment, use, share and make available their knowledge. The focus is on arts & crafts creative industries as still insufficiently investigated organizations, although the proposed theme is increasingly perceived. This study presents two significant results achieved thanks to a literature review and a qualitative field research. The first result is the identification of a unprecedented interest of academic studies for the issue of knowledge and its transfer relevant to arts & crafts creative industries. The second result focuses on the relationship between knowledge transfer and creation of artifacts of excellence. In this second part of the study, the craftsman is a critical factor in the process of knowledge transfer as holder of a knowledge which constitutes and nurtures the sole and the exclusive value of the products. In the present dissertation the knowledge of these craftsmen emerges as a key resource that must be valued and transmitted as lever of development of production systems based on quality, excellence and differentiation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate educator perceptions of the implementation of Integrated Quality Management Systems (IQMS) in Further Education and Training (FET) Colleges in South Africa. Quality in education is presently put more firmly on the agenda not withstanding the fact that a vast range of literature is available to support the process of improving the quality in education. The department of education has made many attempts to introduce an effective appraisal system in support of quality education only to find that the previous appraisal systems were rejected by the educator force for the mere fact that it was perceived as a form of inspection and supervision rather than for development purposes. This study also focuses on a review of the integrated quality management system (IQMS), of its purpose, guidelines and its subsequent implementation in FET colleges in South Africa in 2004. The primary focus of the discussion is on the processes, the methods, the guiding principles and the pitfalls of the implementation of quality management systems in educational organizations To guide this discussion literature reviews on quality, quality education, quality management and quality management systems were undertaken. The empirical study entailed gleaning information from a structured questionnaire which was distributed to a sample group of lecturers at Sedibeng College for FET in the Gauteng Province. The questions were structured in a manner to gain information about the understanding of the operational principles of quality management, the aims and guiding principles of IQMS, the importance of quality control and the external relationships of the college. The major finding emanating from this study was that there was a need for intensive training in IQMS, thus a management's strategy for ensuring that IQMS is effectively implemented was proposed. The overall recommendation arising from this study includes ensuring that management designs a quality manual to guide the process of quality assurance. / Thesis (M.Ed.

Les faits justificatifs spéciaux ont été définis et identifiés, dans le cadre de ces travaux de recherche,comme des causes objectives d’irresponsabilité pénale affectées à une ou quelques infractions précises, et prévues – sauf pour les faits justificatifs spéciaux prétoriens – par un texte lui-même affecté à la fonction justificative. Face à cette tentative d’élaboration d’une définition et d’un régime cohérents, l’éclatement conceptuel et l’enchevêtrement normatif qui caractérisent le droit contemporain s’expriment toutefois avec une acuité troublante dans l’évolution de la justification spéciale. Parce qu’ils sont si discrets à l’échelle de la répression pénale, parce qu’ils n’ont pour garantir leur intégrité ou leur cohérence ni principe cardinal, ni institution dédiée, les faits justificatifs spéciaux ont été entraînés sans résistance parle courant puissant des faits divers, des aléas politiques, des réformes institutionnelles et des espoirs européens. Leur étude a ainsi permis d’étoffer la réflexion doctrinale portant sur la redéfinition jurisprudentielle des infractions, sous l’influence de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme, et de revenir sur le dévoiement de la norme pénale instrumentalisée par d’autres domaines juridiques à la recherche de symbolisme, et participant ainsi à l’expansion du droit pénal sanctionnateur. Qu’ils pointent du doigt la jurisprudence ou le faiseur de lois, les faits justificatifs spéciaux trahissent par leur modestie et leur petitesse la démesure des ambitions des acteurs institutionnels du droit pénal. / In this work, special justifications have been defined as objective defenses assigned to one or very fewspecific crimes, and provided for – unless they are judge-made – by legal texts centered on their justificatory function. The attempt to construct an accurate definition and a coherent regime was complicated by the conceptual fragmentation and normative entanglement of contemporary French criminal law. Not only are special justifications very subtle mechanisms in the broad scheme of criminalliability, but they do not have, to guarantee their conceptual integrity, the shelter of a dedicated institution or core legal principle. Consequently, special justifications have been carried along by the steady stream of political change, current events, institutional reform and European ambitions. The study of special justifications allows us to reconsider jurisprudential debates regarding judicial (re)definition of crimes under the influence of the European Court of Human Rights. It also gives a new perspective on thewell-documented phenomenon of the “corruption” of criminal law caused by its instrumentalization. In a phenomenon some academics call “disciplinary” criminal law, other legal branches make use of criminallaw’s symbolic strength. In these respects, the subtlety of special justifications exposes the immodesty of judges and legislators with respect to their ambitions for criminal law.

However, natural and man-made images have different statistical proprieties. Here we show that a simple theoretical analysis of power spectra in a sparse model suggests that natural and man-made images would need specific filters for each group. Indeed, when applying sparse coding to man-made scenes, we found both Gabor and Haar wavelet-like filters. Furthermore, we found that man-made images when projected on those filters yielded smaller mean squared error than when projected on Gabor-like filters only. Thus, as natural and man-made images require different filters to be efficiently represented, these results suggest that besides Gabor, the primary visual cortex should also have cells with Haar-like receptive fields. / A codificação eficiente de imagens naturais gera filtros similares às wavelets de Gabor que relembram os campos receptivos de células simples do córtex visual primário. No entanto, imagens naturais e urbanas tem características estatísticas diferentes. Será mostrado que uma simples análise do espectro de potência em um modelo eficiente sugere que imagens naturais e urbanas requerem filtros específicos para cada grupo. De fato, aplicando codificação eficiente à imagens urbanas, encontramos filtros similares às wavelets de Gabor e de Haar. Além disso, observou-se que imagens urbanas quando projetadas nesses filtros geraram um menor erro médio quadrático do que quando projetadas somente em filtros de similares a Gabor. Desta forma, como imagens naturais e urbanas requerem filtros diferentes para serem representadas de forma eficiente, estes resultados sugerem que além de Gabor, o córtex visual primário também deve possuir células com campos receptivos similares às wavelets de Haar.

The thesis “Effects of the Post Multi-fiber Agreement on Bangladesh Ready Made Garments Sector” is a part of our M.Sc. in Business Administration Program. The thesis paper on this topic is done under the supervision of Mr. Göran Alsén, Professor of Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) Ronneby, Sweden. In our country garment industry has been playing most vital role in our national economy, foreign exchange earnings, employment, growth in other sector and most prominently women employment. In the first chapter we tried to focus on the historical background of Multi Fiber Agreement, the growth of Bangladesh Garments Manufacturer and Exporter Association (BGMEA).In 1983 the total members of BGMEA were 143 with narrow export volume but in 2007 we see the total members are 4637.They contribute 75.64% of our total export (BGMEA, 2007). People who are directly involved with this sector became worried because of phase out of quota system from January 2005.But if we observe the current scenario it is very much positive for our national economy. It’s true that competition grew high but at the same time we can say that our garments industry did not lose its market reputation compared to that of other rival competitors like China, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam etc. It’s very obvious that we have great problem with the backward linkage industry. As a result we are facing huge competition among the competitors. We have to face huge competition with the other competitors as long as we could set up our backward linkage industry. Under these circumstances, our Government is taking necessary steps to remove this problem. It is now simply a matter of time. But we hope we will get rid of this problem very soon. In this thesis paper we have tried to analyze the performance of five different RMG companies and we have also tried to examine the impact of withdrawal of quota system. Based on these five RMG factories we observe that our RMG industry is performing well after Post MFA. In addition, if we look our total exports we see that approximately 74.93% of our total export is from RMG sector. It is very promising sector compared to other export items. Thus we can say that to survive in this competitive sector our RMG sector should take some more necessary steps like improving employee efficiency, ensuring more training facility, emphasizing on backward linkage industry etc. To attract foreign investors these are very important.

This study is constructed through a dialectic hermeneutical process, aiming Procedural Law which has constitutional foundation. The problematic is centered historically and is developed during the 45th Constitutional Amendment scenario, within the procedimentalist and substantialist paradigmatic conflict, who define the part that should be played by the magistrate in the Constitutional State of Law. The hypothesis is of which the insertion of the Fundamental Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit in the hard core of constitutional text gives it, through a material and formal points of view, legal characteristics of fundamental right, with immediate and complete efficacy, even thought it does not have aptitude to interfere in the procedural march, reducing their time span. It also demonstrates that many assumptions under which the jurisdictional response delay problem are untrue, because they are not scientific approaches of the problem or have shown themselves unable to solve the problem. Recognizing the relativity of its concept and theoretical abstractions of the Fundamental Right, firm an concept of the terms Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit are made, taking into consideration the many view points of the actors in its relation. With its iusfundamentality, the Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit puts itself through an interdisciplinary approach with other themes of the legal science, questioning the doubts of its judiciality, bringing back to focus the problem of the criteria of legitimation of the jurisdictional power in Brazilian law, the role of the magistrate in the realization of rights, and the realization of the material effects of the judicial decisions. Also as an objective, making the Fundamental Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit shine its theme of the civil responsibility of the state and magistrate due to the unlawful time dilation of the judicial lawsuits, due to negligence or disdain in the conduction of the lawsuit, having in mind the text that resulted from the parallel amendment after the promulgation of the 45th amendment to the Constitution of Brazil. The active and passive entitlement of the Fundamental Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit will also be studied, as will be the consequences of its vertical efficiency against the state, and horizontally, as a reflection of the fundamental rights between particulars- which operates, in the case of the right studied, between the poles of the procedural relationship whose time gap has grown beyond what is reasonably expected. / A proposta desta dissertação é a análise teórica do artigo 5°, inciso LXXVIII, da Constituição Federal de 1988, conhecido como Direito Fundamental à Duração Razoável do Processo, ou Direito ao Processo sem Dilações Indevidas. O estudo é construído sob método hermenêutico-dialético, com enfoque no Direito Processual que tem assento constitucional. A problemática é centrada historicamente e desenvolvida no cenário da Reforma do Poder Judiciário implementada pela Emenda Constitucional n°45/04, bem como, dentro do contexto de confronto entre os paradigmas procedimentalista e substancialista que definem, segundo os discursos de aplicação e justificação, o papel da magistratura no Estado constitucional e democrático de direito. A hipótese é a de que a inserção do direito à Duração Razoável do Processo no núcleo fundamental do texto constitucional dá a ele, tanto do ponto de vista formal quanto material, natureza jurídica de Direito Fundamental, com eficácia plena e imediata, embora não tenha a aptidão para interferir na marcha dos processos, abreviando-lhe o tempo de duração. Este trabalho demonstra, ainda, que algumas das premissas sobre as quais o tema da morosidade da prestação jurisdicional se desenvolve na atualidade são falsas, porquanto não se prestem a uma abordagem científica e, principalmente, por se mostrarem inócuas a solucionar o problema. Reconhecendo a relatividade e abstração conceitual dos direitos fundamentais em geral, esta dissertação estabelece uma definição operacional dos termos Duração Razoável do Processo, levando em consideração e discutindo as diversas óticas dos atores da relação processual. Com sua jusfundamentalidade, a Duração Razoável do Processo vem, em uma abordagem interdisciplinar, colocar-se em cotejo com outros temas da Ciência Jurídica, questionando acerca de sua judiciabilidade, reacendendo a problemática dos critérios de legitimação para o exercício do Poder jurisdicional no direito brasileiro, do papel do magistrado na concretização dos direitos materiais e, por conseguinte, a conscientização acerca dos efeitos concretos das decisões judiciais. Visa, também, fazer o Direito Fundamental à Duração Razoável do Processo iluminar o tema da Teoria geral da responsabilidade civil do Estado e do magistrado em decorrência da dilação indevida do tempo de duração dos processos judiciais, analisando as hipóteses em que tal fato se dá por negligência ou desídia na condução do processo, tendo em vista o texto que resultou na Proposta de Emenda Constitucional paralela após a promulgação da Emenda Constitucional n°45/04. Também serão estudadas as titularidades ativa e passiva do Direito Fundamental à Duração Razoável do Processo, como conseqüência de sua eficácia vertical, contra o Estado e, horizontal, referente à eficácia dos direitos fundamentais entre particulares - que se operam, no caso do direito em estudo, entre as partes da relação processual - quando litigam em processo que se desenvolveu em lapso de tempo além do que razoavelmente se esperava.
