Publicación a texto completo no autorizada por el autor / Investigación que corresponde al tipo básico, en razón que sus resultados enriquecen el conocimiento científico en educación. Es de nivel descriptivo y asume el diseño correlacional, debido a que establece una relación entre dos variables de investigación: estilos de liderazgo y gestión educativa. Para la recopilación de datos se aplican la técnica de la encuesta, la misma que se usa como instrumento de colecta de datos dos cuestionarios, uno para recoger información para determinar los estilos de liderazgo que asumen los directores de cuatro instituciones educativas “Isabel la Católica”, “Pedro A. Labarthe”, “Concordia Universal” y “San Antonio” del distrito de La Victoria; otro instrumento para medir la gestión educativa que realizan los directores. La muestra está conformada por 148 docentes de las cuatro instituciones educativas, elegida de manera probabilística con un 95% de confianza y un margen de error del 5%. Ambos instrumentos son validados mediante juicio de expertos y presentan una confiabilidad de 0,738 para el instrumento que mide los estilos de liderazgo y de 0,723 para el instrumento que mide la gestión educativa, medidos con el alfa de Cronbach. Ambos instrumentos son altamente confiables. Las hipótesis han sido contrastadas con el Rho de Spearman, por tratarse de variables cualitativas (niveles de cualificación para cada variable: alto, medio y bajo). Los resultados de la investigación arrojan la inexistencia de una relación directa y significativa entre ambas variables. Contrariamente se presenta una relación negativa débil (r = -0,147) entre los estilos de liderazgo y la gestión educativa. Similar comportamiento se dan con los cuatro estilos, excepto la quinta dimensión (liderazgo democrático) con la gestión educativa se da una débil relación (r = 0.220). / Tesis

La Administración Tributaria ejerce la facultad de recaudación, determinación, fiscalización y sancionadora para hacer cumplir al deudor tributario su obligación de pago mediante una adecuada orientación al contribuyente, ya sea a través de información verbal, educación o asistencia al contribuyente para fortalecer la cultura tributaria. Por esta razón, la presente investigación tiene como finalidad conocer el impacto de los mecanismos de orientación masivos implementados por la SUNAT en el cumplimiento de las obligaciones tributarias y la repercusión en la información financiera de las MYPES del sector textil de Gamarra en el año 2017; el tipo de investigación es explicativa de diseño no experimental transversal, ya que se aplicó un cuestionario en un único momento al tamaño de muestra constituida por 126 microempresarios del sector textil, además, se realizó el análisis cualitativo de 3 entrevistas a profundidad a especialistas tributarios de orientación de la SUNAT, por otro lado, se realizó el análisis cuantitativo con datos estadísticos de los resultados de las encuesta, a través del coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach, indicando que los datos son muy confiables para el trabajo de investigación. Así mismo, en base a los objetivos planteados, se concluye que el impacto de los mecanismos de orientación masivos en el cumplimiento de las obligaciones tributarias de las MYPES del sector textil no es significativo, ya que, solo el 35% de los microempresarios utilizan la página web de SUNAT para orientarse y que el 27% de los microempresarios no utilizan ningún mecanismo, este último es debido a la percepción que tienen de SUNAT, por ello, los microempresarios no se informan oportunamente de sus obligaciones tributarias según el régimen en el que se encuentren, en consecuencia, no cumplen en su totalidad con sus obligaciones tributarias, lo cual se refleja directamente en los estados financieros de la Declaración Anual y en el análisis con las herramientas financieras sobre la situación de la empresa, por ello, se recomienda que la administradora tributaria implemente nuevos mecanismos de orientación adaptadas de otros países, como es el caso de Corea, en donde se otorgan 20 clases de orientación sobre un tema tributario en específico para pequeñas empresas y así fortalecer el conocimiento tributario del microempresario para lograr aumentar la recaudación fiscal a través del cumplimiento tributario. / The Tax Administration exercises the faculty of Collection, Determination, Inspection and Sanctioning. For this reason, the present investigation results in the impact of the massive orientation mechanisms implemented by the SUNAT in compliance with the tax obligations and the repercussion in the financial information of the MYPES of the textile sector of Gamarra in the year 2017; The type of research is explanatory of a cross-sectional non-experimental design, since a questionnaire is applied at a single moment as sample size constituted by 126 micro entrepreneurs of the textile sector, in addition, the qualitative analysis of 3 in-depth interviews as tax specialists of the textile sector is carried out. SUNAT's orientation, on the other hand, has been carried out the quantitative analysis with statistical data of the results of the survey, through Cronbach's alpha coefficient, indicating that the data are very reliable for the research work. Likewise, based on the stated objectives, it is concluded that the impact of the mass orientation mechanisms in compliance with the tax obligations of the MYPES of the textile sector is not significant, since only 35% of micro entrepreneurs use the web page of SUNAT to guide itself and that 27% of micro entrepreneurs do not use any mechanism, the latter is due to the perception we have of SUNAT, therefore, micro entrepreneurs do not timely inform themselves of their tax obligations according to the regime in the they can find, instead, not in your part with your tax obligations, what is referred to in the financial statements of the Annual statement and in the analysis with the finances in the situation of the company, therefore, it is recommended that the administration of tax technology implements new orientation mechanisms adapted from other countries, as is the case of Korea, where 20 kinds of guidance are granted on a specific tax issue for small businesses and thus strengthen the tax knowledge of the microentrepreneur to achieve increased tax collection through tax compliance. / Tesis

La estrecha relación que existe entre el cine y la arquitectura, como medios de expresión plástica y artística, es uno de los factores por el cual se eligió el tema del presente trabajo, siendo la arquitectura el medio facilitador para crear espacios donde se pueda realizar diversas actividades ligadas a la creación cinematográfica. Así, el Centro Nacional Cinematográfico se constituye en tres partes importantes: formación, producción y difusión del cine. Además, constituye un reto arquitectónico poder relacionar el proyecto con el entorno urbano de la ciudad ya que se encuentra ubicado alrededor del Óvalo Grau, considerado como la entrada hacia el Centro de Lima, rodeado de un entorno monumental importante. / Tesis

This study undertook an evaluation of six alternative education programs provided by St Augustine's Education and Training in the Barwon region of Victoria. The impetus for the study has come from the staff of St Augustine's who bravely opened up their programs to closer scrutiny in order to gain a clearer understanding about the needs of the students attending their programs, the theoretical basis of their work and the outcomes of program intervention. A utilisation-focused approach was used and incorporated the following components: a needs analysis using a variety of measures to identify the characteristics of the students and to describe the experiences of students and parents, a qualitative process to articulate the model of psycho-education intervention and issues in service delivery and an impact evaluation to assess the effectiveness of intervention. There were 158 students aged between 6 and 15 years enrolled in programs over a two year period. The results of the needs analysis found that programs were appropriately targeting a marginalised and disadvantaged group of students that typically came from a low socioeconomic background, were significantly behind in their academic achievement, had poor adaptive functioning skills, exhibited a low level of social-emotional development (social-emotional competencies and negative attitudes towards learning) and a high level of psychopathology (mental health symptoms). Using the Survey of Student Assets (Bernard, 2002), the impact evaluation found that programs were successful in increasing the students' social-emotional capabilities and positive attitudes towards learning but did not impact significantly on the students' presenting mental health symptoms and adaptive functioning as measured by the Teachers Report Form (Achenbach and Rescoria, 2001). However, these results are to be interpreted with caution given the small sample sizes used in the analysis. Across the six programs it was found that a total of 89 students (56.3%) experienced a positive outcome destination immediately post-program and these students were maintained in, or transitioned back to mainstream school (n=71) or entered vocational training, education or employment (n= 18). Negative outcome destinations were experienced by 35 students (22.1 %) either because they were excluded (n=3), not engaged (n= 15) or withdrew from program (n= 17). At the end of the study, the remaining 25 students (15.8%) were either referred internally onto another program (n=16) or remained in program (n=9). In predicting outcome destinations, students with positive outcomes, were those that presented with less serious mental health symptoms, in particular they had lower rule-breaking and externalising scores on the Teachers Report Form at referral and a higher level of adaptive functioning in the area of 'working hard'. Students experiencing positive outcome destinations were also those that attended program regularly and for a fewer number of months and were involved in fewer critical incidents whilst attending. The qualitative process evaluation found that the model delivered was grounded in the principles of exemplary practice found in the psycho-educational literature and focused on building positive relationships and a sense of belonging, the provision of hands-on learning activities and rewarding individual achievement. Parents and students generally provided positive feedback however the theme analysis of staff, student and parent interviews and the case study scenarios did identify a number of critical areas to be addressed. These included clarifying the target group and the length and intensity of intervention, improving assessment, planning and transition processes, better collaboration with other services and mainstream schools, the on-site delivery of auxiliary services to meet specific student needs, work to better support and involve parents and to develop a sense of community across the school. A strategic planning process involving key stakeholders to systematically address these areas was recommended.

This study was conducted in response to the policies for the integration of children with behaviour disorders in Victorian and New South Wales Primary Schools. These two states were selected for this study for three reasons. Firstly, the two states have adopted and are implementing integration policies which are, in many areas, contrasting. Secondly, compared to other Australian states, Victoria and New South Wales have the most children enrolled in their respective school systems and, hence the largest number of children whose schooling is influenced by these policy decisions. Thirdly, the integration policies of both states group children with behaviour disorders under the generic term 'children with disabilities.' The findings of the present study suggest a number of areas that future implementors of integration policies need to consider. Firstly, mandatory special education courses need to be implemented by all teacher training institutions. Secondly, to effectively integrate children with behaviour disorders into the regular classroom an individual, collaboratively designed program needs to be utilized. Collaboration between special setting teachers and regular class teachers would appear to be crucial in program design. Thirdly, teachers stress emerged as an issue which policy designers need to address urgently. Fourthly, resources and support, including the availability of in-service courses on children with behaviour disorders, need to be increased and made available to regular classroom teachers. Finally a range of alternate educational programs/opportunities, not just a choice between regular and special settings, needs to be developed for children with behavoiur disorders. The study is important to the field of special education and in particular to children with behaviour disorders in three ways. Firstly, data were gathered using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This approach would appear to be the most appropriate method for gathering data on integration as it allows for many of the child's ecosystems to be investigated and for the child's numerous and important interactions to be examined. Secondly, the study highlighted the importance of investigating the individual needs of children with behaviour disorder when considering integration, Finally, the study allowed for a number of variables, important for practitioners when integrating children with behaviour disorders, to be identified and examined. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Aggression occurs frequently on many psychiatric wards; its assessment and management are crucial components of inpatient care. Consequences to inpatient aggression are profound, impacting on staff and patients, ward milieu and regime, and mental health services in general. Despite considerable research, which has primarily focussed on the assessment of demographic and clinical characteristics of aggressive patients, the nature of the relationship between mental illness, inpatient treatment and aggression remains unclear. Inconsistent risk assessment practices, management strategies and treatment plans, often derived from idiosyncratic beliefs about the causes of aggression, follow. Approaches to the assessment of inpatient aggression have been categorised as structural, which emphasise form, or functional, which emphasise purpose. Studies of inpatient aggression have primarily utilized a structural approach. These studies have resulted in the identification of demographic, clinical and situational characteristics of high-risk patients and environments. Resource allocation and actuarial assessments of risk have been assisted by this research. Conversely, functional assessment approaches seek to clarify the factors responsible for the development, expression and maintenance of inpatient aggression by examining predisposing characteristics, in addition to the proximal antecedents and consequences of aggressive behaviours. While functional analysis has demonstrated efficacy in assessing and prescribing interventions for other problem behaviours, and has been regarded a legitimate assessment approach for anger management problems, psychiatric inpatient aggression has been relatively neglected by functional analysis. Against this background, four studies focussing on the assessment of predisposing characteristics, precipitants and consequences, and purposes of aggressive behaviour, were undertaken to assist in the development of a functional analysis of psychiatric inpatient aggression. All four studies were conducted within the Thomas Embling Hospital (TEH), a secure forensic psychiatric hospital in Melbourne, Australia. The first of three initial studies involved a retrospective review of Incident Forms relating to aggressive behaviours that occurred within the first year of the hospital?s operation. The second involved a comparison of prospective assessment of aggressive behaviours with retrospective review of Incident Forms. The third involved a review of Incident Forms across two forensic psychiatric hospitals, the Rosanna Forensic Psychiatric Centre, and the TEH, to allow for the study of environmental contributors to aggression. The fourth, and main study, focussed on the assessment of patients and aggressive incidents, using a framework emphasising purpose, which was assessed using a classification system designed and validated as part of this study. Demographic and clinical information in addition to social behaviour, history of aggression and substance use were collected on the 204 patients admitted to the hospital during 2002. One hundred and ten of these patients completed an additional assessment of psychotic symptoms in addition to a battery of psychological tests measuring anger expression and control, assertiveness, and impulsivity. During 2002, the year under review, there were 502 incidents of verbal aggression, physical aggression, and property damage recorded. Staff members who observed these incidents were interviewed, and files were reviewed to record the severity, type, direction and purpose of aggression. Following 71 aggressive behaviours patients also participated in the assessment of purpose. Results from this, and the three initial studies, reinforced the contribution to aggression of a number of individual characteristics, including a recent history of substance use, an entrenched history of aggression, a recent history of antisocial behaviour, and symptoms of psychosis, including thought disturbance, auditory hallucinations and conceptual disorganisation. Somewhat surprisingly, a number of other characteristics shown through previous research to have a relationship with aggression, including anger arousal and control, impulsivity, and assertiveness did not show a relationship with aggression. Further, and perhaps a consequence of the peculiar characteristics of some patients admitted to the TEH, older patients and females were more likely to be repeatedly aggressive, yet neither age nor gender differentiated aggressive from non-aggressive inpatients. In this study acts of inpatient aggression were usually precipitated by discernible events, or motivated by rational purposes. Rarely was aggression the consequence of a spontaneous manifestation of underlying psychopathology occurring in isolation from environmental precipitants. A number of proximal environmental factors, most particularly staff-patient interactions associated with treatment or maintenance of ward regime, that were considered provocative or that threatened status, were evident in incidents of aggression perpetrated against staff. The perception of provocation and the need to enhance status were common precipitants of aggression between patients. There was little evidence to suggest that aggression was used instrumentally to obtain tangible items, to reduce social isolation, or to observe the suffering of others in the absence of provocation. Results of these four studies have implications for the prediction and prevention of inpatient aggression, and for the treatment of aggressive inpatients. These are discussed, as are the limitations of this research and suggestions for further research. / thesis (BPsychology(Hons))--University of South Australia, 2004.

Australia is amongst the more efficient milk producers in the world.Milk production in the region of south-western Victoria relies mainly on rainfed white clover/perennial ryegrass pastures.As the demand for efficient and competitive milk production increases, the value of N2 fixation must be maximised. The objective of this thesis was to assess N2 fixation in grazed dairy pastures in south-western Victoria. Several tests and experiments were conducted and results noted. Studies revealed low white clover yields to be the major factor limiting N2 fixation in the region. For N2 fixation to have a significant impact on pasture quality and production, problems associated with legume persistence need to be addressed. Strategies may include the breeding of white clover cultivars with greater tolerance to water stress, improved winter production and increased competitiveness with companion species. Alternatively, the introduction of different legume species, better suited to the environment, may be appropriate. Where N2 fixation is unlikely to satisfy N demands, it may be necessary to introduce the strategic use of supplementary feeds or nitrogenous fertilisers. However, this would need to be carefully considered to ensure high input costs did not jeopardise the competitive advantage of low input pasture-based systems / Masters Thesis

Design flood estimation in small to medium sized ungauged catchments is frequently required in hydrologic analysis and design and is of notable economic significance. For this task Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) 1987, the National Guideline for Design Flow Estimation, recommends the Probabilistic Rational Method (PRM) for general use in South- East Australia. However, there have been recent developments that indicated significant potential to provide more meaningful and accurate design flood estimation in small to medium sized ungauged catchments. These include the L moments based index flood method and a range of quantile regression techniques. This thesis focuses on the quantile regression techniques and compares two methods: ordinary least squares (OLS) and generalised least squares (GLS) based regression techniques. It also makes comparison with the currently recommended Probabilistic Rational Method. The OLS model is used by hydrologists to estimate the parameters of regional hydrological models. However, more recent studies have indicated that the parameter estimates are usually unstable and that the OLS procedure often violates the assumption of homoskedasticity. The GLS based regression procedure accounts for the varying sampling error, correlation between concurrent flows, correlations between the residuals and the fitted quantiles and model error in the regional model, thus one would expect more accurate flood quantile estimation by this method. This thesis uses data from 133 catchments in the state of Victoria to develop prediction equations involving readily obtainable catchment characteristics data. The GLS regression procedure is explored further by carrying out a 4-stage generalised least squares analysis where the development of the prediction equations is based on relating hydrological statistics such as mean flows, standard deviations, skewness and flow quantiles to catchment characteristics. This study also presents the validation of the two techniques by carrying out a split-sample validation on a set of independent test catchments. The PRM is also tested by deriving an updated PRM technique with the new data set and carrying out a split sample validation on the test catchments. The results show that GLS based regression provides more accurate design flood estimates than the OLS regression procedure and the PRM. Based on the average variance of prediction, standard error of estimate, traditional statistics and new statistics, rankings and the median relative error values, the GLS method provided more accurate flood frequency estimates especially for the smaller catchments in the range of 1-300 km2. The predictive ability of the GLS model is also evident in the regression coefficient values when comparing with the OLS method. However, the performance of the PRM method, particularly for the larger catchments appears to be satisfactory as well. / Master of Engineering (Honours)
