The prevalent approaches in terms of the restructuring of the state in Turkey during the 1980s grasp the relations between state and society as relations of exteriority. Statist-institutionalist or technicist approaches detach the formation of economic policies from social struggles whereas the critical analyses interpret the implementation of structural adjustment policies as a functional response to the crisis of capital. Instead of these explanations, it seems there is a need for taking into consideration the relations between state and society as internal relations and grasping the restructuring of the state as a form assumed by social struggles and understanding the intervention of the state into the economy as a moment within the process of reproduction of the contradictions. Such a theoretical position has the power of explaining the changing forms of state intervention on the basis of the class character of the capitalist state and in a relational way.

The thesis is based on a research project called Learning-in-partnership, abbreviated to “Learnpartner”. The work was organized as a joint research project between Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Germany, and managed by Leeds University Business School in the UK. Our project task was to describe best practice for partnership-based work on the labour market within the European steel and metal industry when responding to the process of restructuring.The research was based on case studies in two Swedish companies, where we conducted interviews with trade union people, employees, managers, and human resource personnel. The qualitative design was supplemented with interactive methods during discussions, workshops, and seminars, which meant involving practitioners from both the companies and the trade unions in interpreting the results. The theoretical framework relates to work organisations, industrial relations, competence development as well as conditions for sustainable development. In order to describe the research findings in this thesis, a model was used to highlight different factors that can influence change processes.The report describes empirical findings regarding the consequences of change processes taking place at organisational and at individual level. The results show that both the companies have been successful when it comes to responding to the restructuring process; however, there are some differences at individual level. The thesis highlights certain factors such as; management strategies, trade union involvement, workteams, employee participation and follow-up and discusses how they influence the entire process and the outcomes of restructuring work.Hanne knows the steel industry from her childhood. She grew up in a small district in Sweden where the steel mill was the biggest and (almost) the only employer. Her parents and brothers worked there until the rolling mill was closed down. Her previous relationship with the world of steel helped her while working on the thesis, and gave her some kind of justification to be inquisitive. Hanne Randle is a researcher and PhD-student at Karlstad University – department of Working Life Science. Besides from industrial relations and partnership, Hanne has researched; conditions for developing sustainable public sector jobs, developing a European standard for vocational education and training for explosive sector workers, older workers and lifelong learning, and workplace learning. As a mean to develop a joint learning process between researchers and practitioner her method in research is to involve participants into the whole process of the research.

O olhar reflexivo sobre a implementação de programas/projetos de saúde pressupõe a elucidação dos modos pelos quais ocorrem as conexões entre a formulação e suas diretrizes e a operacionalização nos serviços de saúde. Portanto, o presente estudo centra seu olhar investigativo em questões da dimensão avaliativa voltadas para o planejamento e gestão de sistema local de saúde, assim como para a produção de tecnologias de planejamento e avaliação em saúde. Centrado na Atenção Básica, especialmente no Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF), o estudo buscou analisar tal estratégia levando em consideração as quatro grandes dimensões de reestruturação preestabelecidas pelo MS: (re)estruturação do modelo assistencial do SUS; (re)estruturação da demanda para os outros níveis do sistema; (re)estruturação dos processos de trabalho e das práticas em saúde, e (re)estruturação dos gastos no modelo assistencial do SUS. O trabalho define as dimensões de (re)estruturação do modelo assistencial e dos processos de trabalho e das práticas em saúde como objeto de estudo. Para tanto, propõe, inicialmente, compreender o contexto que molda a operacionalização do PSF, para perceber a dinâmica que se coloca, reprodução ou reestruturação da estrutura. Tomando como referencial o modelo de Estratificação do Agente de Giddens (1984), buscamos através de entrevistas com os profissionais das equipes de Saúde da Família perceber a compreensão teórica e a narrativa das práticas sobre alguns pressupostos básicos apontados pelo MS como potencializadores da capacidade de reestruturação do PSF e que são por eles operacionalizados no cotidiano de suas práticas. Os profissionais das equipes estudadas se identificam como agentes de mudança. E sendo agentes deste processo de reestruturação sofrem influencia da estrutura social (PSF e seus princípios) como também a influenciam, enquanto sujeitos que nela operam. Foi possível mapear um cenário de implantação e um universo bastante significativo de necessidades que chamamos de necessidades cognitivas, aspectos que se interagem influenciando na capacidade ou não de reestruturação do PSF. Em relação à capacidade de (re)estruturação do modelo assistencial do SUS, o momento é de transição entre modelos assistenciais, iniciando um processo, ainda que tímido, de mudança de enfoque, da abordagem curativa para uma abordagem que tende, ainda que fragmentada, a propiciar uma assistência integral, incorporando à oferta de ações curativas, ações programáticas em construção. Barreiras estruturais que se localizam no espaço da cultura institucional de organização dos serviços e consequentemente, dos Sistemas Locais de Saúde também dificultam a reestruturação sob a perspectiva do modelo assistencial. A capacidade de reestruturação dos processos de trabalho e das práticas em saúde parece ser incipiente, no contexto das equipes estudadas. A cultura organizacional dos serviços, a experiência acumulada dos profissionais em unidades organizadas de forma tradicional, associada a processos incipientes de educação permanente, dificultam a apreensão de novas práticas potencializadoras de um processo de trabalho que conjuguem o desenvolvimento compartilhado de projetos terapêuticos integrais, assim como de mecanismos gerenciais ordenados sob o enfoque do planejamento estratégico situacional. Mesmo cientes da complexidade que envolve os processos de reestruturação de modelos assistenciais em saúde, partimos da premissa de que a capacidade de reestruturação proposta pela Saúde da Família é possível, porque visa a mudança no modelo de produção da saúde, o qual é definido pelos mecanismos de gestão, mas também pelo modo com os profissionais de saúde operam no cotidiano seus processos de trabalho. Partindo desse pressuposto, o presente estudo optou em tomar como objeto de análise o cotidiano dos processos de trabalho dos profissionais das equipes de Saúde da Família. Num primeiro momento, o estudo buscou compreender o contexto que molda e condiciona a produção da saúde identificando a compreensão teórica e a narrativa da prática dos sujeitos que operam no PSF no cotidiano. O segundo momento do estudo resultou do primeiro, quando foi evidenciada a ausência, nos processos de trabalho das equipes, de um raciocínio programático que as orientasse na organização da oferta de ações de saúde às suas populações adscritas, direcionando para a abordagem das necessidades em saúde, contribuindo no reordenamento das práticas, conjugando as capacidades de trabalho potencial e real das equipes. Sendo assim, foi desenvolvida uma proposta de programação em saúde, ancorada no pressuposto central da programação, ou seja, no cotidiano das equipes de Saúde da Família. Ordenada pelas operações diagnóstica e normativa a proposta trabalhou com a análise das coberturas de produção Ideal (normativa), Real (quantitativo de procedimentos realizados pelo profissional durante um determinado espaço de tempo, oficialmente informada) e Potencial (Semana Típica de produção planejada). / Reflecting on the implementation of health care programs/projects implies clarifying what the connections are between their formulation and guidelines and their operationalization in health care services. Therefore, this study concentrated its investigation on assessing the planning and management of local health care systems, as well as on the production of planning and health care assessment technologies. Centered on Basic Care, especially the Family Health Program (PSF), the study sought to analyze this strategy by taking into consideration the four main dimensions of restructuring that were pre-established by the Ministry of Health (MS): (re) structuring of the SUS care model; (re)structuring of demand for other levels in the system; (re)structuring of the work processes and health care practices, and (re)structuring of expenses of the SUS care model. The study defines the dimensions of (re)structuring of the care model and work processes and health care practices like those of the object under study. For this purpose, it first examines the context that shapes and conditions the operationalization of the PSF, to understand the dynamics that are presented, reproduction or restructuring of the structure. Taking Giddens Stratification Model of the Agent (1984) as a reference, we sought, through interviews with professionals from the Family Health teams, to understand the theoretical and narrative comprehension of practices about some basic suppositions identified by the MS as potentializers of the ability to restructure the PSF, and which are operationalized by them in their day-to-day practice. The professionals in the teams studied see themselves as agents of change. And being agents of this restructuring process, they are influenced by the social structure (PSF and its principles), as well as influencing it, since they are subjects acting therein. It was possible to map out a scenario of implementation and a meaningful universe of needs that we call cognitive needs; aspects that interact influencing the capacity or lack thereof to restructure the PSF. In relation to the capacity to (re)structure the SUS model of care, this is a time of transition between care models, in which a process, albeit a timid one, is arising to remove the center of attention from a curative approach towards an approach that seeks, albeit in a fragmented manner, to provide integral care, incorporating programmatic actions being constructed to the still predominant curative actions provided. Structural barriers located in the institutional culture of the organization of services, and consequently, of the Local Health Care Systems also hinder restructuring from the perspective of the care model. The capacity to restructure the work processes and the health care practices appears to be more incipient and less visible in the context of the teams studied. The organizational culture of the services and the accumulated experience of professionals in units organized in a traditional manner, associated with incipient processes of permanent education, make it difficult to understand new practices that potentialize a work process that presents shared development of integral therapeutic projects, as well as management mechanisms arranged using strategicsituational planning. Even being aware of the complexity involving the processes of restructuring health care models, we begin with the assumption that the capacity for restructuring as proposed by Family Health is possible because it seeks to change the health care production model, which is defined by the management methods, but also by the way health professionals perform their day-to-day work processes. Starting with this assumption, this study chose to analyze the dayto-day work processes of the Family Health team professionals. At first, the study sought to understand the context that shapes and conditions the production of health, identifying theoretical comprehension and the narrative of the practice of subjects that work in the Family Health Program on a day-today basis. The second part of the study resulted from the first, when it became clear that there was an absence of programmatic thinking in the teams work processes that would guide them in the organization of health care actions provided to their covered populations. This thinking would be directed towards dealing with health needs, contributing to reorder the practices, joining the potential and real work abilities of the teams. Thus, for health care programming proposal was developed. This proposal is anchored in the central assumption of programming; that is, in the day-to-day work of the Family Health teams. Ordered by diagnostic and normative operations, the proposal worked with the analysis of coverage of Ideal production (normative), and Real production (quantity of procedures carried out by the professional during a given period of time, officially informed) and Potential production (Typical Week of planned production).

abstract: As a significant level of the reformation and transformation of our society has been provoked by environmental deterioration, ecological approaches in environmental design have drawn much attention from professionals as an alternative world view and also as a practical design approach. Particularly in landscape architecture, ecological understanding has been at the very core of the profession since its emergence and plays an important role in the decision making processes. While ecology supports the profession with an objective rationale, aesthetics plays another major role in providing various understandings about the aesthetic experience of people, which is rather subjective. However, the ways to seek the balance between them are still controversial. Furthermore, the conventional aesthetic value system of landscape appears to have limitations for guiding us to an appropriate appreciation, especially in dealing with newly emerging urban landscape patterns such as regeneration of post-industrial landscapes. Understanding these issues, there have been continuous attempts to describe the relation between ecology and aesthetics, suggesting that a new approach known as "ecological aesthetics," can bring us a new set of viewpoints seeking a reunion of nature and culture, and science and art. It asserts that "there is a type of beauty" in the landscape associated with its ecological health which people could aesthetically appreciate; and therefore, revealing the "hidden" beauty of nature in more visible ways should be the primary concern of today's ecological designers. This research mainly consists of extensive literature research and a case study on two landscape restructuring projects of post-industrial landscapes in Seoul, Korea. The literature research redefines the tasks of landscape architecture based on the idea of ecological aesthetics, and the case study seeks the potentials and limitations of current design projects. This research proposes a framework for landscape perception and reflects on the lessons that would be useful for better practice and research. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Environmental Design and Planning 2011

From 1992 onwards, the market for corporate control has been changing as a consequence of deregulation in the North American and West European electric utility industry. Motivated by the lack of consensus on the value creation of acquisitions in the deregulated electric utility industry, this study is conducted. Based on a three and eleven-day event window, cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) of 714 acquisition announcements between 1997 and 2017 stemming from North American and West European acquirers, it is found that acquisitions generate on average an insignificant CAR of 0.2%. West European bidders generate a significant return of 0.94% which outperforms the average CAR of -0.02% stemming from North American bidders. For the aggregate sample, it is found that geographic diversification strategies do not outperform each other and that industry-focussed deals outperform industry-diversified deals. North American managers should avoid cross-border deals within the North American region because these deals destruct shareholder value. West European managers should engage in geographic or industry-focussed deals because it is shown the stock market believes that these type of acquisitions generate synergies.

A partir da década de 1970, com os dois choques do petróleo, essa indústria passou por intensa reestruturação em todo o mundo, aprofundada na década de 1990. A racionalização dos negócios petroquímicos promoveu uma intensa onda de fusões, aquisições, joint ventures e spin-offs, refletindo as estratégias adotadas pelas empresas líderes, de integração vertical e focalização em core business. As grandes petrolíferas moveram-se downstream, beneficiando-se de vantagens de custo e acesso a matérias-primas. Os anos 2000 foram marcados pela emergência da Ásia como centro produtor, adicionando-se novas capacidades no Oriente Médio, e consumidor, com destaque para a China, apontando que o acesso às matérias-primas e aos mercados com elevado potencial de crescimento são as variáveis com maior capacidade de desencadear movimentos de reestruturação nessa indústria. No Brasil, a petroquímica foi implantada seguindo um modelo tripartite, com importante participação do Estado, via Petroquisa, que acabou por resultar em uma estrutura industrial fragmentada, de empresas monoprodutoras, diversa do padrão mundial do setor. Na década de 1990, a abertura da economia e a privatização, com redução expressiva da participação da Petroquisa, tornou manifesta a vulnerabilidade das empresas nacionais e a necessidade de reestruturação. A formação da Braskem e o retorno da Petrobras deram início ao processo de reorganização da petroquímica nacional. O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar se o processo ocorrido no Brasil guarda semelhança com aqueles ocorridos em nível mundial, bem como identificar, utilizando-se de modelo das decisões de investimento nessa indústria baseado em determinadas driving forces, as principais estratégias da Braskem, maior player nacional, e da Petrobras, além dos desafios competitivos enfrentados pela petroquímica brasileira, associados à disponibilidade de matérias-primas, escoamento da oferta, mudanças tecnológicas, crescimento da demanda e políticas governamentais. Os resultados encontrados sugerem que a reestruturação ocorrida, além de fortalecer a petroquímica brasileira, equacionou parte de suas fragilidades competitivas, adequando-a ao padrão mundial do setor. Seu crescimento está bastante vinculado ao mercado interno brasileiro e uma maior inserção no âmbito internacional demonstra hoje boas perspectivas de se concretizar, especialmente no continente americano, tanto pela via das exportações, quanto pela internacionalização das empresas nacionais, in casu, a Braskem. Apesar dos desafios que se apresentam, majorados pela crise financeira de 2008, essa indústria conseguiu alcançar melhores condições competitivas para seguir uma trajetória sustentada de crescimento. / Salvador

The methodological approach known as History of Life will be used in our research through the realization of interviews focused on the socialprofessional trajectories of individuals that will be selected for their experiences related to the privatization process. Collected data will be interpreted with the theoretical basis of the Clinical Sociology, trying to analyze, from the reports of the labor life of the interviewed, the manifestation of ideological and organizational processes that refer to the transformations of the labor world and the establishment of new management technologies in the Brazilian context. It is expect to obtain a greater understanding of issues that underlie the mutations of the labor dimension, in addition to the consequences for the working class of the privatization process. / O presente estudo tem por finalidade analisar as trajetórias laborais de profissionais bancários que vivenciaram o processo de privatização do Banco do Estado do Ceará (BEC), com o intuito de identificar os reflexos deste em longo prazo e, com isso, verificar as mudanças na relação sujeito-trabalho, buscando identificar as transformações relatadas por esses sujeitos após a modificação de seu cotidiano laboral. Para tanto, será utilizada a metodologia de pesquisa História de Vida, através da realização de entrevistas de trajetória socioprofissional com sujeitos que serão selecionados por suas experiências referentes à privatização do BEC. Os dados colhidos serão interpretados com o aporte da teoria Sociologia Clínica, buscando analisar, a partir dos relatos das histórias de vida laboral dos entrevistados, a manifestação de processos ideológicos e organizacionais que remetam às transformações do mundo do trabalho e à instauração de novas tecnologias gestionárias no contexto brasileiro. Espera-se obter um maior aprofundamento nas questões que perpassam as mutações da dimensão laboral, além das consequências para os trabalhadores do processo de privatização.

A presente pesquisa faz uma análise do processo de reestruturação territorial no Brasil tendo como base as novas funções do Estado face às mudanças econômicas e políticas ocorridas em escala mundial denominadas de globalização ou mundialização do capital. O foco principal do trabalho é a diversificação da matriz energética brasileira com o início do uso do Gás Natural (GN) nos processos industriais e comerciais da região da Aglomeração Urbana do Nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul – AUNE, que engloba dez municípios e mais de 800 mil habitantes e se constitui na segunda maior aglomeração urbana do estado. Foram desenvolvidas pesquisas de campo nas oficinas mecânicas credenciadas pelo INMETRO aptas a fazerem conversões de veículos automotivos para o uso do gás natural e em empresas que utilizam o gás natural em seus processos produtivos. A pesquisa procurou traçar uma visão geral das transformações sociais e econômicas que o uso dessa nova fonte energética trouxe para a AUNE. / The present research analyzes the territorial restructuring process in Brazil, based on the new State's functions in light of global economic and political changes. The principal focus of the study is the Brazilian energy matrix's diversification, beginning with the of the use of natural gas in industrial and commercial process in northeastern Rio Grande do Sul (AUNE), which comprises ten cities and more than 800,000 people. It is the second biggest urban region in the state. Field research was developed in the mechanical workshops licensed by INMETRO to make the conversion to natural gas in vehicles and companies that utilize it in their production process. The research objective was to evidence a global vision of the economic and social changes that the use of this new energy source has brought to AUNE.

O objetivo geral do trabalho é analisar o processo de internacionalização da indústria petroquímica brasileira no contexto da sua reestruturação produtiva e do ambiente competitivo internacional, com foco no período de 2000 a 2013. A metodologia consiste em revisão bibliográfica, com ênfase nas teorias de estratégias competitivas e internacionalização de empresas, de modo a identificar quais teorias melhor descrevem o processo ocorrido no Brasil. É, portanto, uma abordagem analítica utilizando dados secundários como relatórios das empresas e de consultorias, bem como indicadores do setor químico e petroquímico. É realizada também uma análise relacionada com a geração de sinergias nos processos de reestruturação e internacionalização, identificando as principais fontes geradoras e o possível impacto na eficiência das empresas, a partir de indicadores financeiros. De forma mais ampla, são avaliadas as condições de competitividade da indústria petroquímica brasileira e de sustentabilidade de seu posicionamento estratégico, no contexto da concorrência internacional. / The objective is to analyze the process of internationalization of the Brazilian petrochemical industry in the context of its restructuring process, and of the international competitive environment, focusing on the period 2000 to 2013. The methodology consists of a literature review, with emphasis on theories of competitive strategies and internationalization of companies in order to identify which best describe the process occurring in Brazil. It is therefore an analytical approach using secondary data such as reports of companies and consultancies, as well as indicators of the chemical and petrochemical sector. It also held a analysis related with the generation of synergies in the process of restructuring and internationalization, identifying the main generating sources and the possible impact on the efficiency of enterprises, using financial indicators. More widely, the competitiveness of the Brazilian petrochemical industry and sustainability of its strategic positioning in the context of international competition are evaluated.
