▼ This study takes a grower-centric perspective to investigate the degree to which social considerations drive distribution practices among food producers who distribute locally (within Athens, Georgia). Through the use of observation and semi-structured interview with small-scale farmers, the study demonstrates the importance of diverse and extensive social networks for the long-term success and viability of
local food projects. It utilizes common themes from the agrofoods and social capital literatures to examine how social capital becomes manifest amongst farmers in a
local food context, and to show that social relationships may be mobilized to both generate and sustain community investment in
local agriculture.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation is to present a new psychometric model that combines a Mixture Rasch model with a diagnostic model. We refer to this model as a diagnostic
classification mixture Rasch model (DCMixRM). The motivation for the development of the
DCMixRM is twofold. First, the DCMixRM is designed to provide rigorous explanation as
to factors that are potentially causing the latent classes to form. In doing so, this model uses attribute mastery states as covariates. Second, the DCMixRM is also designed to connect assessment to instruction by furnishing diagnostic information along with a general ability level.
This model consists of two components: measurement and structural components. The
measurement component includes specification of item responses through simultaneously
taking into account three sets of latent variables, such as a general ability, latent class
membership, and mastery profiles of attributes. In the structural component, characteristics
of three latent variables are specified, including distributions of ability, latent class, and
mastery profile. Further, in this model, we specify the relationship among these variables,
particulary the association between latent class and mastery profile.
The DCMixRM has several advantages: it provides a way to detect heterogeneity in
the population; it yields more accurate classification of latent classes; it provides a rigorous explanation about features of latent classes; it allows us to examine incompleteness of the
Q-matrix; and it allows us to make inferences on a global ability as well as on mastery profiles formed over the set of attributes.
A series of simulation studies were conducted to evaluate the quality of estimation process for the DCMixRM in terms of convergence and recovery of model parameters. For the
simulation study, two sets of tests were designed: 30 items involving 3 attributes (A3I30), 20 items involving 4 attributes (A4I20). Under each condition, sample size, similarity of ability means across latent classes, and strength of relationship between latent class and mastery profile were manipulated. Although for some conditions, convergence appeared problematic, results showed that the model parameters were well recovered enough to lead appropriate inferences on the model parameters. We also applied the model to two empirical data sets, including an international reading
and a statewide mathematics tests to give an illustration of how the model can be used.
Further research directions were discussed as well.

▼ Parasites are ubiquitous in natural populations, and can exert strong selection on hosts to defend themselves from infection pathology. Parasites are also often heterogeneously distributed across host habitats, in terms of pathogenicity, diversity and prevalence. The extent to which parasite infection risk constitutes a force of selection for host resource allocation to defense is expected to depend on both the likelihood of encounter and the fitness consequences of infection. Adaptation of hosts to
local parasite selection regimes also depends on host gene flow between transmission hotspots and coldspots. I used two different types of marine invertebrate hosts (snails in the genus Littorina, and the shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus) and their common castrating parasites to test 1) whether wild hosts experiencing divergent parasite selection regimes were adapted to
local levels of infection risk, and in the shore crab hosts, 2) whether hosts experiencing a reprieve from infection risk in their invasive range showed altered energy allocation to immune defenses and other fitness traits. In Littorina snails, I used a common garden experiment to test whether historical exposure to high or low castrating trematode parasite infection risk predicts the ability of snails to avoid or defend against trematode infection, and whether host
local adaptation to infection is influenced by host population genetic admixture as determined by each species’ reproductive most. For the two Littorina host species with direct development of offspring and thus low population admixture, snails originating from high infection-risk environments were less susceptible to infection than snails from naïve populations. Next, because introduced species often escape from infection risk from their co-evolved native parasites, we hypothesized that invasive host populations may respond to relaxed parasite selection in the invasive range by redistributing resources away from immune defenses and toward other fitness traits. A common garden experiment comparing infection susceptibility in H. sanguineus from the native range, where castrating rhizocephalan barnacle parasites are common, to susceptibility in invasive-range crabs where these parasites are absent showed higher susceptibility among invasive-range crabs. An exploration of immune defense traits and energy storage revealed that invasive range crabs have lower self-maintenance metabolic costs and altered relationships between reproductive energy investment and immune trait investment. In invasive species, these results support that invasive populations that experience reduced selection from the parasites with which they co-evolved may re-allocate defense resources to competing fitness traits, but that reduced defense investment comes at the cost of heightened susceptibility to infection. Overall, this dissertation supports that parasites constitute a strong force of selection acting on host resource allocation, and that the loss or intentional removal of parasites from host populations may…

▼ The aim of this thesis was to identify the contextual factors that influence the creation of local currencies. To pinpoint these factors, two multiple linear regression models were developed in which the choice of the dependent variables was based on the literature review as well as on current and historical examples of established local currencies. The first model aimed at explaining the factors influencing the number of local currencies established in a region whilst the second model aimed at depicting the factors influencing the number of local currencies created annually at a national level. Data from France from 2007 until 2017 was used to test the hypotheses in both of the models. It was found that at a regional level, population size and organic agriculture influenced positively the creation of local currencies whilst higher income and an increased electricity consumption had a negative influence. Strong country debt, inflation and poverty rate were the three significant factors that were identified to increase the number of local currencies created annually at a national level.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2011.
The theater of contemporary Hawaii has never had an extensive study, nor have its characteristics been separated out from under the all-inclusive term, "Asian American." The term is neither precise nor accurate when applied to Hawaii or its theater.
This study was prompted by the incongruity of a Hawaiian-themed play by a Native Hawaiian playwright published in an Asian American theater anthology. Oddly, there was no acknowledgement in the collection's introduction of the dissonance between the Conversion of Kaahumanu and the Asian American plays. It is only in the brief explanatory text directly pertaining to Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl's play that the indigenous is addressed at all – most of the introduction is concerned with political and cultural issues specifically concerning Asian Americans in the United States (Hawaii is not separated out). This inclusion suggested several conclusions – that indigeneity is considered either subordinate or equivalent to immigrant status; that the "Asian American experience" is the same nationwide that cultural coherence may be imposed by the demographically dominant; and that the theatrical output of Pacific and Oceania may be arbitrarily subsumed by Asian America. Challenging these assumptions required that theater in Hawaii be analyzed as a discrete category. I use Rustom Bharucha's nomenclature of "intracultural theater" to characterize Hawaii's theater in order to account for the proximity of both the Local and the Hawaiian, and Stuart Hall's identity theorizing to account for Hawaii's combination of the fluid and the immutable. In order to theatrize the Hawaiian separately, I use Manulani Aluli Meyer's system of Hawaiian epistemology, as well as Native American literary theory. I explore the use of languages – Hawaiian, Hawaii Creole English, and Standard English – and situate the plays in their historical, political, and cultural specificity. The Local plays are analyzed for commonalities in the social imaginary they represent that of people mainly of color – many times of Asian ancestry, sometimes Hawaiian, sometimes Caucasian – whose history of conflict, accomodation, colonialism, and immigration is reflected in a unique body of theatrical work.

▼ The problem of finding topic experts on social networking sites has been a continued topic of research. This thesis addresses the problem of identifying
local experts in social media systems like Twitter.
Local experts are experts with a topical expertise that is centered around a particular location. This geographically-constrained expertise can be a significant factor for enhanced answering of
local information needs (What is the best pub in College Station?), for interacting with
local experts (e.g., in the aftermath of a disaster), and for accessing
local communities. I developed a
local expert finding system ??? called OLE (online
local experts) ??? that leverages the crowd sourced location-topic labels provided by users of the popular Twitter service. Concretely, I mine a collection of 108 million tweets for evidence of
local topics of discussion occurring with user-mentions and location pairs; based on this collection, I developed a learning-to-rank approach that incorporates topic-location entropy and a
local expert perimeter for varying the expertise focal window. In comparison with alternative expert finding approaches, I find that OLE is quite effective in finding
local experts and achieves a 37.72% increase in mean average precision and a 16.8% increase in NDCG scores, across a comprehensive set of queries.

▼ This research presents a new method to estimate the
local road vehicle miles traveled (VMT) with the concept of betweenness centrality. Betweenness centrality is a measure of a node???s or link???s centrality on a network that has been applied popularly in social science and we relate it to traffic volumes. We demonstrate that VMT on
local roads exhibits a scale-free property: it follows two piecewise (double) power law distributions. In other words, the total
local VMT can be obtained by properly connecting the two distributions at a breakpoint, each having a slope of the power law distribution. We show that the breakpoint can be predicted by using certain network topological measures, which indicates that the breakpoint may be an inherent property for a particular network. We also show that the highest betweenness centrality point can be estimated using network measures. Furthermore, we prove that the estimated VMT is not sensitive to the power of the power law distributions. This research highlights a potentially new direction of effort for
local road VMT estimation.

▼ We review a field theory approach to Higher Spin
Gravity in 4 dimensional Anti de Sitter (AdS) space within the
framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Based on large N
collective field theory of vector type models, we develop a
bi-
local dipole picture of Higher Spin theory. We also describe a
geometric (Kahler space) framework for the bi-
local theory which
applies to Sp(2N) fermions and potentially to the de Sitter (dS)
correspondence. We discuss in this framework the structure and size
of the bi-
local Hilbert space and the implementation of (finite N)
exclusion principle. For the correspondence based on free CFTs we
first discuss the transformation for O(N) collective field and the
Higher spin filed, and then the nature of bulk 1/N interactions
through an S-matrix which by the Coleman-Mandula theorem is argued
to be equal to 1.

hexagonal lattice as a linear combinationof the
local statistics of
dimers on the corresponding Fisher graph,with the help of a
generalized holographic algorithm. Using ann × n torus to
approximate the periodic infinite graph, wegive an explicit
integral formula for the free energy and localstatistics for
configurations of the vertex model on an infinitebi-periodic graph.
As an example, we simulate the 1-2 model by thetechnique of Glauber
dynamics. In Chapter 2, we study the spectral curves of dimer
models on periodic Fishergraphs, defined by the zero locus of the
determinant of a modifiedweighted adjacency matrix. We prove that
either they are disjointfrom the unit torus
(\mathbb{T}
2={(z,w):|z|=1,|w|=1}) or theyintersect
\mathbb{T}
2 at a single real point. As an application, we prove
that the single edge probability of dimer models on periodic Fisher
graphs is unique under any translation invariant Gibbs measure. A
periodic Ising model is one endowed with interactions that
areinvariant under translations of members of a full-rank
sublattice\mathfrak{L} of ℤ
2. In Chapter 3, we give
an exact, quantitativedescription of the critical temperature,
defined by the supreme ofthe temperatures at which the spontaneous
magnetization of aperiodic, Ising ferromagnets is nonzero, as the
solution of acertain algebraic equation, namely, the condition that
the spectralcurve of the corresponding dimer model on the Fisher
graph has areal node on the unit torus. A simple proof for the
exponentialdecay of spin-spin correlations above the critical
temperature forthe symmetric, periodic Ising ferromagnet, as well
as theexponential decay of the edge-edge correlations for all
non-criticaledge weights of the dimer model on periodic Fisher
graphs, isobtained by our technique.

▼ O estudo dos portos de pequena e média dimensão têm-se revelado essenciais para a compreensão das dinâmicas económicas portuárias do Portugal Moderno. A nossa dissertação de mestrado, centrada num caso de estudo, o porto de caminha no século XVI, segue este quadro teórico. Localizada na fronteira do noroeste português, Caminha é um exemplo de uma comunidade marítima inserida num importante complexo portuário. Rodeada por portos de maior dimensão - Pontevedra, Viana do Castelo, Vila do Conde, Porto, Caminha teve um papel a desempenhar nos jogos de complementaridades, definidas no noroeste português. A análise de diversas tipologias documentais permitiu o conhecimento de algumas dinâmicas desta comunidade: o espaço físico (geomorfologia da barra e condições de bavegabilidade); o espaço social e sua projecção na topografia urbana; questões de identidade do grupo dos homens do mar; actividades económicas desempenhadas (pesca, navegação e comércio marítimo) e questões de sociabilidade.

▼ Local currencies exist by the thousands all over the world. In Belgium (more specifically Wallonia), a few local currencies have been created over the last decade. In October 2016, a new local currency was launched in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve. This new currency is slowly growing and spreading itself in Ottignies-LLN and other surrounding towns. The aim of this Master's Thesis is to get an early perspective of what is it like to use the Talent as a business or organisation and how the implementation and the design features of the currency affect that experience. Qualitative interviews were conducted to get a better understanding of the positives and negatives that are associated with using a new local currency as a business or as an organisation. Among other things, the analyses revealed the importance of the network (its size, geographical boundaries, and diversity of users and businesses/organisations) and its users to ensure that a local currency is easier to use for everyone.

▼ La bibliografía científica durante muchos años ha propagado una visión general de la Caatinga como un bioma con formaciones vegetales xerófilas, con baja diversidad biológica y estructural. A pesar de tener espacios muy modificados por la acción ... El bioma Caatinga cubre 11% del todo territorio nacional, 45% de la región Noreste de Brasil y en 92% del Estado de Paraíba. Conocer las condiciones biogeográficas del bioma en el Estado de Paraíba, en particular el ámbito elegido para la investigación, la cuenca hidrográfica del río Paraíba en sus tramo alto y medio, fue posible por el apoyo y financiación de la AECID a través del proyecto integral de cooperación científica entre la Universidad de Sevilla y Universidad Federal de Paraíba.Elegimos una cuenca hidrográfica para la investigación por entender que se trata de un sistema natural delimitado geográficamente por su red hídrica donde los recursos naturales están integrados de forma dinámica, convirtiéndose en una unidad geográfica ideal para la ordenación territorial.La cuenca hidrografía del río Paraíba en su sector semiárido sufre muchas presiones antrópicas por abarcar ciudades de pequeño y medio porte, algunas importantes como Campina Grande, con industrias y actividades agrícolas y ganaderas que constituyen a la vez que el desarrollo económico de la región, una amenaza para el bioma Caatinga.Por ello se necesita estudiar este medio natural y proponer una zonificación
local para ordenación del territorio y aplicarlas con urgencia, ya que se observa un proceso acelerado de fragmentación y desaparición de la vegetación natural de caatinga. Además, entendemos que el agua es un factor clave que condiciona la dinámica de este bioma.La propuesta de caracterización biogeografía de|

▼ Cette recherche étudie les relations entre les
organisations non-gouvernementales internationales (ONGI) et les
communes lors de la mise en place de projets d’accès à l’eau
potable pour mettre en lumière les inégalités partenariales qui
apparaissent entre ces acteurs et qui sont sources de blocages au
développement. La recherche vise aussi à comprendre quel est
l’impact de ces relations de pouvoir sur la gestion du service
public de l’eau potable. Le rapport de pouvoir entre ONGI et
communes a été délaissé par la recherche scientifique alors même
que les petits projets de développement constituent la forme
principale d’aide et que les ONGI sont de plus en plus amenées à
travailler avec les collectivités locales qui se renforcent
progressivement grâce à la consolidation des processus de
décentralisation et qui revendiquent leurs prérogatives dans le
domaine de l’eau potable, sources pour elles de légitimité
institutionnelle. En s’appuyant sur un cadre d’analyse combinant la
théorie de l’action de Bourdieu et l’approche de political ecology
of water et sur l’étude de quatre projets d’accès à l’eau potable
mis en place par des ONGI dans trois communes du Bénin, il a été
possible de voir que les partenariats entre ONGI et communes sont
très inégalitaires à cause d’un différentiel financier et technique
et que les ONGI ont une grande marge de manoeuvre sur la mise en
place des projets. Néanmoins, malgré l’hystérésis de l’habitus qui
laisse certaines ONG et communes en décalage, le champ du
développement évolue grâce aux luttes des acteurs pour
l’introduction de plus d’égalité dans les partenariats. Ainsi, il
apparaît une transformation des pratiques des ONG et une plus
grande responsabilisation des communes. Ces relations ont un impact
direct sur le service de l’eau potable. Plus les relations sont
égalitaires, plus la commune en sort renforcée et peut mettre en
place des mécanismes assurant une gestion durable des
infrastructures hydrauliques de son territoire. L’introduction de
relations partenariales plus égalitaires est donc un enjeu de
taille pour le développement.

▼ This paper proposes a new perspective to understand the
local self-government movement during the late Qing New Policies era. On the one hand, this new perspective moves beyond the common practice of interpreting the
local self-government movement as failed state efforts to bridle the
local elite by enlisting them into bureaucracy, and instead looks at it from the perspective of
local society. On the other hand, it emphasizes the relations between
local self-government institutions and other contemporaneous professional associations, like the chamber of commerce, education association, agriculture association, and the anti-opium bureau.
To facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the
local self-government movement, this paper examines the case in Jiaxing from 1905 to 1914. This period witnessed the whole process of the first wave of the
local self-government movement from its start and preparation in the last years of the Qing to its abolition by Yuan Shikai in the Republic.
A clear understanding of
local power structure is indispensable for researching
local self-government. Previous scholars generally draw a line between upper-degree elites and lower elites, urban elites and countryside-based elites, suggesting that there were serious conflicts between upper urban elites and lower elites during the
local self-government movement. My research on Jiaxing shows provides corrective to this interpretation. Traditional degrees and lineage were still important, but they were no longer major factors for elite to form establishments, seek support, and construct identity. By participating in various professional associations, Jiaxing elites gradually began to organize themselves along with associations and take action in the name of these associations.
The emergence of professional associations was a significant political development in modern Chinese history. They performed many
local works independently and often advocated for public benefits,
local self-government and a constitutional government, either alone or together with other associations. There were numerous examples of the close cooperation between different professional associations and
local self-government institutions. It were the members of professional associations who first promoted and dominated the self-government institutions. For the Jiaxing elites,
local self-government was merely one among the many organizations for them to participate in
local affairs and exert influence.
All these linkages and cooperation between different institutions and associations contributed to a power balance in Jiaxing society in the last years of the Qing dynasty. Public management functions were clearly delineated among various associations whose members were mainly New Policies activists who wished to make the country better and stronger by building
local society. There were some peasant uprisings, but during this period the urban-rural conflict may not have been essential in Jiaxing.
The 1911 Revolution changed this kind of balanced
local power structure among
local…

▼ Sri Lanka has inherited a unitary state structure and a highly centralised approach to government administration. Since independence in 1948, various proposals to restructure government, including decentralising powers to provincial and
local levels, have been proposed, but none have been fully implemented. The Sinhala nationalist parties and groups which have supported successive governments have generally rejected all decentralisation proposals. Moreover, the political elite has long been oriented towards and accepting of strong leadership from the centre, which has largely ignored
local government and
local development, with serious implications for much of the population.
The tsunami of 2004 and the end of the war in 2009 saw NGO support and large amounts of foreign funding flow into Sri Lanka to assist in the recovery. Central government and its leadership have controlled the whole aid management and distribution process, by directing foreign funds towards conducting large scale construction projects at the
local level without considering
local needs. Despite restrictions imposed by central government, a number of NGOs have begun to play an important role in promoting
local development through interacting with
local government bodies and
local communities. NGOs can, thus, be found to be at the forefront of endeavours to address social and economic needs at the
local level.
This study, examines how and why
local communities have been neglected in development initiatives in Sri Lanka, and assesses the significance of support from NGOs in increasing the capacity of
local government and in promoting
local development. Hypotheses derived from the literature related to post-colonial criticisms, government-NGO relations, and NGO interactions in the policy process are examined and assessed. Based on research in the southern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka, this study analyses the views of national, provincial and
local level political representatives and administrative officials, NGO officials and CBO representatives.
The research revealed that while
local level respondents aspired to play an active role in decisions about the use of foreign support for
local development, they tended to lack the knowledge and capacity to do so.
Local level respondents highlighted the importance of NGO guidance in these processes, particularly in terms of promoting
local people’s participation in
local government decision making. This thesis concludes that NGOs can play a positive role in supporting
local government in addressing development needs at the
local level.
Local government-NGO relations were found to have made an effective and significant contribution to fulfilling
local level needs. NGOs can thus be seen to play a positive role in empowering
local government and
local communities and their involvement has potential to lead to a move away from highly centralised power structures.

▼ This research is concerned with the assessment on the implementation of woreda decentralization in Gambella Peoples National Regional State with particular emphasis to Abobo and Lare woredas. It attempted to explore the objectives, legal and institutional frameworks and implementation status of the recently embarked DLDP and fiscal decentralization in the Gambella region. Secondly, the study provided a modest preliminary investigation of some performance indicators of the program in terms of power and authority,
local governance processes, inter-governmental relations, financial and administrative capacities, planning and budgeting processes, community participation and basic service delivery trends with particular reference to the two woredas. Finally, the study tried to illustrate some of the major inherent and encountered problems and the possible prospects of the program.
To meet the above objectives, the research employed more of qualitative case study approach. Both primary and secondary data sources were used in gathering pertinent information. The technique of collecting primary data includes in-depth interviews at regional, woreda and kebele levels, focus group discussions with the community and personal observation. Secondary sources are published and unpublished materials such as books, different reports and manuals that cover federal to the woreda. Descriptive method of analysis is used to analyze the primary and secondary data.
The study found out that decentralization in general and woreda decentralization in particular had not been implemented adequately due to several reasons. It is challenged by many problems such as inadequate devolution of power, limited decisions-making authority and autonomy transferred to
local governments, absence of political will and commitment to devolve power in real sense, lack of legal and institutional framework, poor inter-governmental relations and weak coordination with different stakeholders, upward accountability and absence of transparency in the operation of
local governments, shortage of resources (skilled human power and material), limited administrative, institutional and technical
local capacities, weak budgeting and expenditure administration, poor revenue generating capacity and heavy financial dependency on federal and regional governments, and weak public sector service deliveries. Regarding participation, there is low level of community participation in different sectors at the stage of problem identification, prioritization of needs, planning and budgeting processes and decision making activities at regional and
local levels.
Hence, to make decentralization meaningful and benefits of woreda decentralization to be realized, recommendations are made on power and authority, political commitments, legal and institutional frameworks, capacity issues, inter-governmental relations, accountability, transparency, financial and human resources and community participation.

▼ O sucesso da Administração Pública passa por uma liderança activa, os dirigentes devem adoptar uma estratégia de liderança de forma a motivarem e mobilizarem os funcionários para os objectivos globais da organização.
O objectivo genérico desta investigação, à luz de um referencial teórico, é conhecer a
percepção dos colaboradores da Câmara Municipal do Fundão inquiridos, relativamente
ao relacionamento entre a Gestão, o Pensamento e a Liderança Estratégica e a influência que têm na Realização dos Objectivos Organizacionais.
Os resultados obtidos com a avaliação do modelo permitem considerar a Gestão e
Condução das Pessoas, como o factor com mais impacto na realização dos objectivos
organizacionais, tendo em conta a liderança estratégica e o pensamento estratégico.
Como conclusão evidencia-se o facto de que na Administração Publica as pessoas ainda
necessitam ser conduzidas para desenvolverem as suas tarefas.

No intuito de analisar e compreender de que forma contribuem as Associações de Desenvolvimento Local (ADL) para os processos de desenvolvimento tendo por base a proximidade territorial e colaboração entre instituições/entidades, a partir de uma base teórica e conceptual, pretende-se conhecer o contributo da Associação para o Desenvolvimento de Peniche (ADEPE), através do estudo de caso do projeto GACOeste, analisando a coerência entre a sua intervenção e o conceito de desenvolvimento local. O trabalho de pesquisa foi suportado pelo método qualitativo e quantitativo, recorrendo a diferentes técnicas de recolha de dados: pesquisa documental, observação participante e um inquérito por questionário distribuído a 16 entidades parceiras/observadoras da ADEPE no âmbito da aplicação do GACOeste. Foi possível obter evidência empírica favorável à hipótese de que a intervenção da ADEPE através da promoção do projeto GACOeste é coerente com conceito de desenvolvimento local, respondendo às reais necessidades do território e da população.

▼ Comme de nombreux pays européens, la plupart des Etats d’Afrique noire francophone ont souscrit au concept mondial de l’autonomie locale, à travers des modifications de leurs Lois fondamentales. Pour sa part, la Loi constitutionnelle camerounaise du 18 janvier 1996 consacre clairement la décentralisation territoriale comme mode principal de gestion de la République. Y sont proclamés, tous les grands principes fondamentaux qui sous-tendent la décentralisation territoriale, notamment la personnalité morale de droit public des collectivités territoriales, la libre administration par des conseils élus, l’autonomie administrative et financière pour la gestion des intérêts régionaux et locaux.Le principe constitutionnel de l’autonomie, décliné selon les cas en autonomie administrative et/ou financière, concept à la mode, mais paradoxalement oublié par la doctrine et objet de vives controverses quant à sa mise en oeuvre, fonde l’intérêt de cette étude. L’ambition est de dégager un concept juridique à partir des expressions d’autonomie administrative et financière, afin de doter les différents acteurs intéressés, notamment l’Etat unitaire Cameroun, d’instruments de mesure susceptibles de permettre une mise en oeuvre effective de la force d’autonomie locale sujette à tant de passions dans les discours politiques de tous bords.
Like many European countries, most French-speaking black African states have endorsed the worldwide concept of local autonomy, through changes to their fundamental Laws. For its part, the Cameroonian Constitution Act of 18 January 1996 clearly dedicated territorial decentralization as the main mode of management of the Republic. Y are announced, all the great fundamental principles underlying the territorial decentralization, notably the legal personality of public law of local councils, self-government by elected councils, the administrative and financial autonomy for the management of regional and local interests.The constitutional principle of autonomy, as the case declined in self-administration and / or financial buzzword, but surprisingly overlooked by the literature and subject of intense controversy about its implementation, establishes the relevance of this study. The ambition is to clear a juridical concept from the expressions of administrative and financial autonomy, to endow the different interested actors, notably the unitary state Cameroon, with measuring instruments that could allow an effective implementation of strength of local autonomy subject to so many passions in political rhetoric from all sides.

▼ O estudo apresentado procurou perceber a importância atribuída pela comunidade do Espinhal a atividades de intervenção no âmbito do património cultural, compreender o interesse da comunidade espinhalense na concretização de projetos relacionados com o património e compreender o património cultural como fator identitário.
A metodologia da investigação levada a efeito assentou na análise de material bibliográfico sobre a problemática em estudo, indissociável das noções de património cultural, material e imaterial, identidade e desenvolvimento
local. Procedeu-se ainda ao levantamento de informação relativa a projetos culturais que tiveram lugar na Vila do Espinhal, num passado recente, fazendo-se a sua caraterização. Dado os objetivos a atingir com o trabalho, recorreu-se ainda ao inquérito por entrevista e ao inquérito por questionário, procedendo-se, posteriormente, à análise da informação obtida.
Através da amostra recolhida foi possível concluir que os inquiridos identificam-se com o espaço onde vivem, evidenciam o sentido identitário do património e a sua relevância para a comunidade, consideram, o património
local construído, bem preservado, têm face ao património e a dinâmicas culturais ocorridas, localmente, uma atitude ativa. Nesse sentido, estão documentados em relação a atividades ocorridas, conhecem o património
local e mostram interesse em relação a projetos realizados num passado recente. Para além disso, consideram ainda que atividades relacionadas com o património podem ser móbil do desenvolvimento
local, podendo ter repercussões ao nível do emprego, da divulgação do
local e do turismo. Reforçando a perspetiva dos inquiridos, os representantes das entidades locais que entrevistámos, evidenciaram a relevância do património na construção da identidade coletiva, as suas implicações no desenvolvimento
local e, especificamente, a sua importância para a comunidade espinhalense.

▼ This dissertation targets three questions relating to
local public finance. Given the importance of
local public finance on the average person's everyday life (consider the state of
local roads and schools), understanding economic elements associated with
local revenue generation are integral to our knowledge of how municipalities can affect their
local fiscal situation. To this end, three essays are provided here to consider two major topics; capitalization effects, and
local budget composition issues.
The first two chapters discuss how
local public services, in particular fire stations, police stations, and hospitals, can impact the value of nearby land. In particular, the first chapter concentrates on how single family home values will, on average, decrease in value if they are located too close to these emergency service stations, but can also decrease in value if they are located too distantly. Understanding these effects and modeling them are the targets of the first essay.
Incorporating similar ideas, the second chapter utilizes the same stations, but now tackles the question of how these services can affect non-residential structures such as office buildings, retail centers, and manufacturing plants. Of interest here is the large heterogeneity of land use, leading to concerns over prior research and its tendency to aggregate land uses when considering these capitalization effects.
The final chapter utilizes fiscal override and budget data to analyze how changes in
local budget composition can be driven by fiscal overrides in revenue constrained municipalities. When communities are fiscally constrained in their ability to raise own-source revenue,
local budget officials may be incentivized to use voter approved fiscal overrides and
local budget fungibility to drive expenditures into different portions of the budget. Findings suggest that
local budget composition tends to favor certain kinds of spending, such as public works, over other types such as education.

▼ "A problemática Fiscal do Alojamento Loca- uma questão pertinente" aborda a fiscalidade do arrendamento de curta duração em Portugal, a partir de estudos caso (continente e ilhas), considerando a importância do desenvolvimento do interior marcado pelo despovoamento (metodologia qualitativa- entrevista semi-diretivas e narrativas e trabalho de campo). Quanto ao empreendedorismo, estão presentes as características de McCleland: realização afiliação e poder. A última surge frágil na relação com o sistema fiscal. Como motivação domina a preservação do património familiar; como a ameaça forte fiscal. Em geral atividade é complementar a outra dominante ou a uma reforma e não garante a sobrevivência. Trata-se de atividade económica de baixa produtividade, sem economia de escala e, no caso do interior, muito sazonal, em meios economicamente desfavorecidos e socialmente isolados. O AL fomenta a participação dos mais idosos na economia familiar e envelhecimento ativo. Para entrevistados o AL pode alavancar a prestação do património, ofertas de trabalho e desenvolvimento
local mas têm dificuldade em prespetivar o futuro devido ao impacto fiscal. Surge-se mudanças na tributação do AL adaptadas a diferentes situações, de modo a apoiar a preservação do património e o desenvolvimento
local no interior, tendencialmente despovoado.

▼ The energy sector and the phenomenon of anthropogenic-induced cli-mate change are intrinsically related insofar as this sector is responsible for considerable emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) due to fossil-fuel-based energy production facilities, namely electric power plants. The overall aim of the present work is to explore the relations and synergies between climate change and the energy sector as well as to explore the French example of PCET plans (Climate and Energy Territorial plans) that have been developed by local authorities for the past decade. Based on a literature review of the background for the issues of climate change and local planning, this works uses the strengths of participant observation and interviews with actors in the development of PCET to present the approach and discuss its characteristics and shortcomings. Since climate change is not only affecting and affected by both the supply- and demand-side of the energy sector, but is also related to numerous sectors such as housing and transportation, the need for com-prehensive plans has become more important at various levels of action. Although the PCET approach is recent and its impacts remain uncertain, it tackles fundamental public issues that are also potential aspects for development. While local authorities remain sceptical concerning their means of efficient action at the territorial level, a PCET plan may therefore have major consequences if it perceived as a comprehensive strategic tool rather than a simple action plan.

▼ Dans l'évaluation d'Internet au cours des années, un grand nombre d'applications apparaissent, avec différentes exigences de service en termes de bande passante, délai et ainsi de suite. Pourtant, le trafic Internet présente encore une propriété de haute variabilité. Plusieurs études révèlent que les flux court sont en général liés à des applications interactives-pour ceux-ci, on s'attend à obtenir de bonne performance que l'utilisateur perçoit, le plus souvent en termes de temps de réponse court. Cependant, le schéma classique FIFO/drop-tail déployé des routeurs/commutateurs d'aujourd'hui est bien connu de parti pris contre les flux courts. Pour résoudre ce problème sur un réseau best-effort, nous avons proposé un nouveau et simple algorithme d'ordonnancement appelé EFD (Early Flow Discard). Dans ce manuscrit, nous avons d'abord évaluer la performance d'EFD dans un réseau câblé avec un seul goulot d'étranglement au moyen d'étendu simulations. Nous discutons aussi des variantes possibles de EFD et les adaptations de EFD à 802.11 WLAN - se réfèrent principalement à EFDACK et PEFD, qui enregistre les volumes échangés dans deux directions ou compte simplement les paquets dans une direction, visant à améliorer l'équité à niveau flot et l'interactivité dans les WLANs. Enfin, nous nous consacrons à profiler le trafic de l'entreprise, en plus de elaborer deux modèles de trafic-l'une qui considère la structure topologique de l'entreprise et l'autre qui intègre l'impact des applications au-dessus de TCP - pour aider à évaluer et à comparer les performances des politiques d'ordonnancement dans les réseaux d'entreprise classiques.
As the Internet evolves over the years, a large number of applications emerge with varying service requirements in terms of bandwidth, delay, loss rate and so on. Still, the Internet traffic exhibits a high variability property – the majority of the flows are of small sizes while a small percentage of very long flows contribute to a large portion of the traffic volume. Several studies reveal that small flows are in general related to interactive applications – for which one expects to obtain good user perceived performance, most often in terms of short response time. However, the classical FIFO/drop-tail scheme deployed in today’s routers/switches is well known to bias against short flows over long ones. To tackle this issue over a best-effort network, we have proposed a novel and simple scheduling algorithm named EFD (Early Flow Discard). In this manuscript, we first evaluate the performance of EFD in a single-bottleneck wired network through extensive simulations. We then discuss the possible variants of EFD and EFD’s adaptations to 802.11 WLANs – mainly refer to EFDACK and PEFD. Finally, we devote ourselves to profiling enterprise traffic, and further devise two workload models - one that takes into account the enterprise topological structure and the other that incorporates the impact of the applications on top of TCP - to help to evaluate and compare the performance of scheduling policies in…

▼ Este estudo teve como principal objetivo identificar e comparar o APL de Petrópolis com o APL de Nova Friburgo, a fim de verificar as condições sócio-econômicas das duas regiões, observando possíveis lacunas nas suas estruturas e desenvolvimento econômico. Para tanto utilizou-se das metodologias exploratória, descritiva, documental, bibliográfica e de campo. Para obtenção dos dados empíricos, a pesquisa de campo fio realizada nos pólos de moda íntima de Nova Friburgo e de vestuário de Petrópolis. Ao todo foram entrevistados 78 empresários das duas regiões. Conclui-se que Nova Friburgo possui mais investimento, empresariado participativo em detrimento de Petrópolis, podendo-se inferir que não é necessário apenas um número específico de ações para o crescimento de uma região. A participação do empresariado local em ações de fomento do mercado em questão é fundamental para o sucesso do desenvolvimento local.
This study had as main objective to identify and to compare the Local Productive Arrangement of Petrópolis with the Local Productive Arrangement of Nova Friburgo, in order to verify the partner-economic conditions of the two regions, being observed possible gaps in its structures and economic development. For in such a way it was used of descriptive, documentary, bibliographical the methodology and of field. For attainment of the empirical data, the research of field wire carried through in the polar regions of close fashion of Nova Friburgo and clothes of Petrópolis. To 78 entrepreneurs of the two regions had been all interviewed. It was concluded that Nova Friburgo possess more investment, entrepreneurs interested in detriment of Petrópolis, being able to infer that is not necessary only one specific number of action for the growth of a region. The participation of the local entrepreneurs in action of promotion of the market in question is basic for the success of the local development.

▼ Local Productive Arrangements (LPAs) are emerging as a new organizational format that induce the strengthening of enterprises, especially those of small and medium businesses, through coordinated action between the different links that comprise it (business actors, institutions and the government itself) involving subjective aspects such as trust, cooperation, partnerships, collective strategies, among others. In this sense, social capital is presented as a preponderant tool in this process by fostering the sharing of norms and values among the actors participating in an arrangement as well as increase the capacity of synergy, participation and innovation. It is worth noting that the consolidation of an LPA is the result of a strong relationship between companies, institutions, public and private organizations and civil society, where the establishment of ongoing relationships between these actors leads to the spread of capital and especially in promoting local development, from the generation of employment and income, economic growth and inclusive social development policies. Based on these considerations, this study aims to examine the contribution level of the LPA of Leather and Footwear in Campina Grande - PB for local development, according to the organizational social capital model proposed by Román and Rodriguez (2004). The model titled Dimensions of social capital, Mechanisms and Results, encompasses a range of issues and indicators for targeted analysis of social capital within organizations, making a direct link with the local development process. In parallel, there is the incorporation of the methodology proposed by Olivares and Dalcol (2010), which allows to calculate the contribution level of production clusters for local development. Regarding methodological procedures, this study is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, conducted in the form of case study. The results allowed to find a final contribution degree of LPA of Leather and Footwear for the development of Campina Grande - PB of 0.51. Although it falls into an acceptable level, it is prudent to incorporate effective steps for strengthening and engagement between business and institutional agents, promoting the intensification of collective behavior and synergistic, in order to minimize and/or extinguish the diagnosed bottlenecks by converting them in greater ease of the arrangement and therefore of the city in which it is inserted.
Os arranjos produtivos locais (APLs) emergem como novos formatos organizacionais que induzem o fortalecimento de empresas, em especial, as de pequeno e médio porte, por meio de uma atuação articulada entre os diferentes elos que o compõem (atores empresariais, institucionais e o próprio Governo), envolvendo aspectos subjetivos como confiança, cooperação, parcerias, estratégias coletivas, entre outros. Neste sentido, o capital social se apresenta como uma ferramenta preponderante neste processo, ao estimular o compartilhamento de normas e valores entre os atores participantes de um arranjo, bem como elevar…

▼ While there have been many studies on public finance at the national and subnational levels, the strikingly large heterogeneity and disparity between localities call for a thorough
local-level analysis. This dissertation comprises four essays on
local public finance and explores several important issues, including the relationships between housing prices, property tax,
local infrastructure investment, countercyclical debt policy, and expenditure stability. Three different data sets are used in the essays: national and state aggregates of
local finance data from the U.S. census (1960-2008), Georgia
local data (159 counties and 536 municipalities, 1985-2011), and parcel/household level data of 46 counties in Georgia with coverage ranging from 3 to 10 years for assessment and over 40 years for sales.
Specifically, the first essay analyzes the dynamics of housing and land prices. The second essay investigates the relationships among property tax,
local infrastructure investment, and housing prices. The third essay examines the optimal debt use for
local governments, finding that different localities have distinct debt policies due to differences in fiscal capacities and borrowing costs. Connecting the above three essays, the fourth essay deconstructs both the revenue and expenditure structures of different types of
local governments (counties and municipalities) and estimates the impacts of revenue compositions and infrastructure investment on expenditure stability.
This dissertation contributes to the literature by providing both theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence that: (1) reconcile different perspectives on relationships between the dynamics of housing and land prices, (2) connect
local infrastructure to household payment of the property tax and extend previous studies from metro cities to a comparison between urban and rural counties, (3) offer an optimal theoretical path of countercyclical debt use and are among the first to investigate the effects of
local fiscal characteristics on countercyclical debt policy, and (4) finally, decompose the impacts of revenue and expenditure structures on
local expenditure stability. The results shed light on trends, fluctuations and regional variations in housing prices, help improve the accuracy of property assessment, and contribute effectively to
local policy designs regarding economic development and infrastructure investment decisions.

▼ The local governance system has undergone positive changes since 1994 when the Government of National Unity took over power in Rwanda. The government has instituted democratic changes in the structure and functioning of local government through decentralisation. Since 2000 when the decentralisation policy was launched, Rwanda has evolved a model of local governance that has come to be emulated by its neighbouring countries. Since 2000, when the Local Government Act affected the decentralised structures of local government, some changes have occurred, challenges have emerged and constraints have been experienced in the implementation of the policy of decentralisation. Methodology used in the impact assessment study The researcher administered questionnaires, conducted interviews and documentary analysis. The assessment covered (3) three districts which were purposively selected on the basis of criteria that were considered sufficiently representative and based on the rationale of the study. Key findings of the study The study established that the restructuring exercise streamlined the structures of local governments, aligned mandates to the structures, and graded jobs in line with responsibilities. These reforms have improved the performance of the local governments. Despite notable improvements, the study established that there were still gaps in the local government system that needed to be addressed. These included: i. There is a big skills gap in most local governments. Some positions in local government are not filled due to inadequate resources. ii. Some local governments are finding it difficult to attract qualified and competent personnel to take up jobs at technical and managerial levels. iii. Local government lack attractive working environments. iv. There are limited career growth opportunities in local government service. xiv v. There is low local revenue. This has imposed limitations to accountability, supervision and monitoring of local government programmes. vi. Professional staff in local government is not adequately facilitated to do their work efficiently and effectively. vii. The existing capacity building programmes contribute marginally to career growth of individual staff members. viii. New reform programmes for improving service delivery such as results oriented management (ROM) and fiscal decentralisation strategy (FDS) have been rolled out but are not yet utilised in some of the local governments.

▼ Resumo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficácia anestésica de duas formulações lipossomais injetáveis de articaína (3% e 4%), em dois modelos animais: bloqueio do nervo infra-orbital (BNIO) e bloqueio do nervo alveolar inferior (BNAI). Para cada experimento, 48 animais foram divididos em 6 grupos (n=8), que receberam a injeção de uma das seguintes formulações, no lado direito: Grupo 1: articaína 4% com epinefrina 1:100,000; Grupo 2: articaína 3% lipossomal; Grupo 3: articaína 4% lipossomal; Grupo 4: articaína 4%; Grupo 5: articaína 3% e Grupo 6: lipossomas 4mM sem anestésico
local. O lado contralateral recebeu NaCl 0,9% (controle). Para BNIO, 0,1 mL da preparação foi injetado próximo ao forame infra-orbitário. Foi avaliada a duração da anestesia em tecido mole por pinçamento vigoroso do lábio superior, a cada 5 minutos, até que fosse obtido o primeiro sinal de resposta aversiva, indicando o final da anestesia. Para BNAI, 0,2 mL da preparação foi depositado próximo ao forame mandibular e os parâmetros latência e duração da anestesia pulpar foram avaliados por estímulo elétrico. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste de ANOVA, com nível de significância 5%. Para duração de anestesia em tecido mole, os grupos 1, 2 e 3 não diferiram entre si (p>0,05) e promoveram duração maior que os grupos 4 e 5 (p<0,05). O grupo 1 obteve menor latência da anestesia pulpar que os grupos 2, 3, 4 e 5 (p<0,05), que não diferiram entre si (p>0,05). O grupo 1 apresentou a maior duração de anestesia pulpar, seguido pelos grupos 2 e 3. Com relação à duração da anestesia pulpar, não houve diferença entre os grupos 2 e 3 e entre os grupos 4 e 5 (p>0,05). Grupo 6 não obteve efeito anestésico. A encapsulação em lipossomas permitiu aumento na duração da anestesia da articaína quando comparada à solução pura. Entretanto, a solução de articaína 4% com epinefrina promoveu maior duração de anestesia pulpar que as formulações lipossomais.; Abstract: Liposome encapsulation has been found to enhance the clinical efficacy of
local anesthetics. This study evaluated the anesthetic efficacy of two liposomal formulations of articaine (3% and 4%) by means of two animal models: infraorbital nerve block (IONB) and inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) in rats. For each experiment, 48 animals were divided in 6 groups (n=8), which received the injection of one of the following formulations, in the right side: Group 1: 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine; Group 2: 4% liposomal articaine; Group 3: 3% liposomal articaine; Group 4: 4% articaine; Group 5: 3% articaine and Group 6: 4mM liposome. The left side received NaCl 0.9% (control). For the IONB, 0.1 mL of the tested formulation was injected near the rat infraorbital foramen. The duration of soft tissue anesthesia was evaluated by pinching the upper lip, every 5 minutes, until the first sign of aversive response was observed. For the IANB, 0.2 mL of the tested formulations was injected near the rat mandible foramen and the parameters onset and duration of pulpal anesthesia were evaluated by means of…

▼ Avaliação de coerência local e inferência por meio do Local Coherence Inference Test traduzido para a língua portuguesa Em face da escassez de instrumentos devidamente validados no Brasil capazes de medir habilidade de coerência local em crianças, constatou-se a necessidade de realizar um estudo que revele quantitativamente o desempenho do processamento linguístico, no tocante a coerência local numa população de crianças normais da rede de ensino regular. A habilidade coerência local é imprescindível para uma boa compreensão textual e é caracterizada pela produção de inferências entre uma sentença e outra à partir da leitura de um texto. Neste estudo utilizou-se o Local Coherence Inference Test traduzido para a língua portuguesa, o qual foi aplicado em 50 crianças normais, do Ensino Fundamental, na faixa etária de 9 a 13 anos, com o objetivo de verificar se há efeito de idade no desempenho deste grupo no Local Coherence Inference Test traduzido para a língua portuguesa. Os resultados mostraram que as crianças de 9 anos de idade apresentaram sensível redução no desempenho do teste, porém, a discrepância do número de acertos entre os grupos etários não foi significativa, o que pode indicar que crianças com 9 anos de idade já conseguem acessar adequadamente a habilidade de coerência local, porém, quanto mais treino de leitura, conhecimento sobre o tema lido e maior o repertório lexical mais competente a criança será em estabelecer uma inferência entre uma sentença e outra.
Given the scarcity of well-validated instruments in Brazil capable of measuring local coherence ability in children-found the need to undertake a study to quantitatively reveal the performance of linguistic processing, in respect of local coherence in a population of normal children of the network mainstream education. The ability local coherence is essential for good reading comprehension and is characterized by the production of inferences between a sentence and the other from the reading of a text. In this study we used the Local Coherence Inference Test translated into Portuguese, which was applied in 50 normal children of elementary school, aged 9-13 years, with the objective of determining if there is an age effect on the performance of this group on the Local Coherence Inference Test translated into Portuguese. Results showed that children 9 years of age showed some reduction in their performance in the test, however, the discrepancy in the number of correct responses between the groups was not significant, which may indicate that children 9 years old can properly access the ability of local Coherence, but the more practice reading, knowledge about the theme and most relevant topic lexical repertoire child will be able to establish an more appropriate inference from a sentence and another.
