An Analysis of the Accounting System of the Quincy Mining Company: 1846-1900Michael, Rodney R. (Rodney Richard) 12 1900 (has links)
This historical study examines the evolution of the accounting system of the Quincy Mining Company between 1846 and 1900. The external financial reporting practices and internal accounting procedures of the firm are defined and interpreted in the context of three time periods that portray the formation, growth and maturation of the firm. Each period reflects unique economic and social conditions that are associated with changes in the firm's accounting system. A cross temporal analysis of these changes highlights three factors: the relationship between the accounting system and the labor force, the emergence of accounting as a control mechanism and the diminishing informational content of the firm's annual reports. Primary sources are used to document the perspectives of the Quincy management and to assess the motivations for accounting processes such as internal control, auditing procedures, responsibility centers and other managerial practices. This study addresses the inherent nature of accounting information and its relationship to the economic and social environment of an individual firm in the nineteenth century.

Arquitetura, imitação e tipo em Quatremère de Quincy / Architecture, imitation and Type in Quatremère de QuincyPereira, Renata Baesso 17 April 2008 (has links)
O trabalho investiga a gênese da noção de tipo na teoria de Quatremère de Quincy e identifica qual o papel deste conceito na sistematização de uma teoria da Arquitetura. A compreensão da noção de tipo em Quatremère deve estar vinculada às questões da origem da Arquitetura, ao estabelecimento de um campo disciplinar próprio e ao delineamento de preceptivas que definam o papel das convenções e da tradição clássica frente à invenção e ao gênio. Embora a primeira formulação do termo tipo em Arquitetura seja corretamente atribuída a Quatremère de Quincy no terceiro volume da Encyclopédie Methodique - Architecture de 1825, é fundamental perfazer a genealogia das idéias e compreender este conceito no âmbito mais amplo de sua teoria da Arquitetura e das Artes. Para tanto procede-se à exegese de três textos fundamentais: De l\'état de l\'architecture Egyptienne (1803); De l\'imitation - essai sur la nature, le but et les moyens del\'imitation dans les beaux-arts (1823) e Dictionnaire Historique d\'Architecture (1832). Deste último fez-se a tradução para o português, a partir do textooriginal, de algumas vozes que versam sobre matérias teóricas e preceptivas arquitetônicas. Na passagem do século XVIII para o século XIX, frente ao historicismo e ao romantismo nascente, a posição de Quatremère é de defesa intransigente do ideal clássico na Académie des Beaux-Arts e da busca de princípios duradouros que resguardem a Arquitetura do que ele julga serem abusos. Ao definir tipo adversava aqueles que se aferravam de modo servil aos modelos e insistiam nas cópias literais. O tipo afastava a Arquitetura do abuso das convenções e do abandono das regras e dos princípios. Nessa perspectiva, o papel histórico do tipo é o aspecto mais fecundo de uma pesquisa sobre a teoria de Quatremère. / The work investigates the genesis of the notion of type in the Quatremère de Quincy\'s theory and identifies which is the role of this concept in the systematization of a theory of Architecture. The understanding of notion of type in Quatremère shall be linked to issues regarding the origin of Architecture, to the establishment of an individual disciplinary field and to the outline of principles that define the role of conventions and classical tradition before the invention and genius. Even though the first formulation of the term type in Architecture is correctly attributed to Quatremère de Quincy in the third volume of the Encyclopédie Methodique - Architecture from 1825, it is fundamental to complete the genealogy of ideas and to understand this concept on its ampler scope of his theory of Architecture and Arts. Therefore, the exegesis of three fundamental texts is conducted: De l\'état de l\'architecture Egyptienne (1803); De l\'imitation - essai sur la nature, le but et les moyens de l\'imitation dans les beaux-arts (1823) e Dictionnaire Historique d\'Architecture (1832). The latter, a translation to Portuguese was done, from the original text, from some voices that versifies about the theoretical subjects and architetonic principles. In the passage from the XVIII century to the XIX century, before the rising historicism and the romantism, the position of Quatremère is an intransigent defense of the classical ideal in the Académie des Beaux-Arts and the search for lasting principles that save Architecture from what he considers to be abuses. In defining the type he opposed himself against the ones that held, in the most servile manner, to the models and insisted in literal copies. The type kept Architecture away from the abuse of conventions and the abandonment of rules and principles. In this perspective, the historical role of type is the most fecund aspect of a research on the theory of Quatremère.

An investigation of the internal reliability of a prevocational behavior checklist: an assessment toolGleason, Glenna M. January 1982 (has links)
Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston University / PLEASE NOTE: Boston University Libraries did not receive an Authorization To Manage form for this thesis or dissertation. It is therefore not openly accessible, though it may be available by request. If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at open-help@bu.edu. Thank you. / This study was the initial research conducted to ascertain the validity of a prevocational behavior checklist. The instrument under investigation was developed at the South Shore Rehabilitation Center in Quincy, Massachusetts. The Center's assessment instrument entitled, 466 Behaviors Necessary to Function Successfully as a Sheltered Worker, was used for assessing the skills of 60 severely retarded subjects enrolled in the Center's prevocational program.
The major purpose of this study was to identify which of the 466 behaviors comprising the checklist contributed highly discriminating information. Test scores from 60 severely retarded adults were collected and processed in two phases of the study. Phase I included the analysis of the distribution of scores, elimination of behaviors that did not discriminate between 5 percent or less of the sample.
In Phase II of this study, the investigator statistically analyzed behavior-to-Specific Skill Area correlations. If the analysis resulted in a correlation coefficient of less than +.5, the behavior was dropped from the checklist. This procedure was completed in four consecutive series. Thus, the investigator guaranteed that the remaining items were providing reliable information about the related Specific Skill Areas.
Phase I of this study resulted in the elimination of 218 behaviors from the checklist and further calculations. Only 248 behaviors discriminated differences between more than 5 percent of the sample. Of the 248 behaviors, 144 behaviors met the +.5 criterion in Phase II.
The investigator concluded that 114 behaviors comprising 25 Specific Skill Areas on the assessment instrument were contributing discriminating information. Recommendations were made to continue research of the prevocational behavior checklist. The recommended research would contribute to validating the instrument, producing an effective method of assessing vocational skills of severely retarded adults. / 2031-01-02
