Nulidades processuais e apelação
Authors: Bedaque José Roberto Dos Santos 
Published: February 2016

O § 4º do artigo 515 do Código de Processo Civil, com a redação dada pela Lei n. 11.276, de 7.2.06, permite ao tribunal, em dese de apelação, adotar medidas destinadas a sanar nulidades processuais, sem necessidade de anulação da sentença. Trata-se de solução fundada no rpincípio da economia processual. A regra incide em qualquer nulidade, pois todas são em tese sanáveis, por força dos princípios da instrumentalidade das formas e da ausência desnecessária a renovação. É preciso afastar o formalismo exegerado na interpretação das regras processuais. Por isso, defende-se a necessidade, muitas vezes, de a relevância do vício processual ser aferida em função do julgamento de mérito. Ilustra-se a tese com situação concreta. em que a ausência de interesse tornou-se irrelevante e a crise de direito material foi solucionada.
A busca da transdisciplinaridade nas ciências humanas
Authors: Krohling Aloísio 
Published: February 2016

Este artigo busca elaborar uma retrospectiva histórica das raízes epistemológicas do pensamento moderno, passando pelo Iluminismo e todas as correntes teóricas, seguidoras da mesma fonte metodológica e epistemológica do SABER INSTRUMENTAL, o que se refletiu nas várias áreas do saber do campo das Ciências Humanas, com o objetivo de mostrar a importância da busca da transdisciplinaridade e da interdisciplinaridade nas Ciências Humanas, com o resgate do paradigma do Múltiplo. A busca da transdisciplinaridade será o fio da meada no sentido de voltar ao MÚLTIPLO heraclitiano e resgatar o “Pantha Rei” das mudanças e contradições da História e da cultura ocidentais. Questiona o atomismo e a fragmentação disciplinar da maioria dos cursos de graduação na área de Ciências Humanas, mormente na Educação, e de modo exacerbado no curso de Direito, com as suas dezenas de disciplinas atomizadas e fragmentadas e sem um fio condutor. É proposta a busca da transdisciplinaridade para o resgate da Metodologia Dialética e da Filosofia da Educação e Filosofia do Direito como as duas grandes alavancas para uma visão e prática holísticas nos Cursos de Educação e Direito bem como na área das Ciências Humanas.

Published: February 2016

The future of marketing will be a battle of brands and destination branding is arguably the tourism industry’s biggest challenge (Pike, 2005). Marketing a destination consistently over time is critical to the success of destination marketing organisations (DMOs) and destination marketing companies (DMCs). However, media and market proliferation and clusterisation creates a high risk of contrary and confusing messages. This research paper reports on the findings of a two year study on the promotion of transportation in tourism development in Malaysia which examined the challenges involved in distributing a strong and consistent image of a destination. Key issues identified include the complexity of relationships which co-exist in the marketing of a tourism destination, its place image and conflicting messages. A qualitative approach to in-depth interviews was conducted with key respondents who were policy makers, tour and travel agents, non-government organisations, and residents in Malaysia. The empirical evidence has shown that policy makers in Government, although receptive to the promotion of tourism, are not entirely aware of the roles each is involved in the distribution of a strong and consistent image of place in the marketing of tourism in Malaysia.
Ethics And Culture: Is There A Relationship?
Authors: Saunders Gary , Lockridge T. Maurice 
Published: February 2016

With the dramatic increase in international business, companies are faced with increased differences in business rules and behaviors between locations. Location to location differences in business norms and practices leads to the question if there is a relationship between ethics and culture? The emergence of Asian countries as economic forces and larger trading partners to the West has heightened the cultural differences. This paper looks at the ethical attitudes of U.S. students relative to the ethical attitudes of students in India. This paper found that Indian students and U.S. students exhibited very similar attitudes toward ethics and unethical acts, despite perceived ethical differences between the cultures.
Return On Investment For Background Screening
Authors: Drysdale Dean , Bonanni Carole , Shuttlewood Phil 
Published: February 2016

Pre-employment screening has increased in recent years; however, only in the US does the percentage of new employees screened approach 50 percent. This paper examines the return on investment of background screening to display to readers the savings offered by such a simple outlay. The paper breaks down the costs associated with a bad hire in terms of direct and indirect costs. The specific costs analyzed are Productivity, Morale, Customer Value, Theft, Absenteeism, Accidents, Management Time, Termination, Recruitment, and Training. In each area, this paper assigns a theoretical value to each cost and puts them together to calculate the total ROI.
Metrosexual Identification: Gender Identity And Beauty-Related Behaviors
Authors: Lertwannawit Aurathai , Gulid Nak 
Published: February 2016

This paper identifies the term metrosexual using the Bem sex role inventory and appearance-related variables, i.e. self monitoring, status consumption, fashion consciousness, cloth concern, and body self-relation. A quantitative study was performed using 263 heterosexual metropolitan men from Bangkok. An ANOVA was used to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that metrosexuals can be described by their gender identity having a high score for femininity, which characterizes feminine and androgynous personality traits. These two groups have high scores for all appearance-related variables, especially self monitoring and body self-relation.
Analysis And Comments On The Consultative Document: International Framework For Liquidity Risk Measurement, Standards And Monitoring
Authors: Prefontaine Jacques , Desrochers Jean , Godbout Lise 
Published: February 2016

The market turmoil that began in mid-2007 re-emphasized the importance of liquidity to the functioning of financial markets and the banking sector. In December 2009, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) released a consultative document entitled: “International Framework for Liquidity Risk Measurement, Standards and Monitoring”. Interested parties were invited to provide written comments by April 16th 2010. Given our interest in promoting sound liquidity risk management and supervision, three members of the Chair responded to the BIS request. Today, we share with you a summary of our analysis and comments. Our work first supports the adoption of the BCBS proposals on two new liquidity risk management standards which take the form of a 30-day minimum liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) combined with a one-year minimum net stable funding ratio (NSFR), both to be accompanied by a mandatory set of market-related monitoring tools. Second, we share with you several general comments and suggestions we formulated on the following topics: the need for better coordination, both domestically and internationally between macro and micro-prudential supervision, the need to formulate more precise liquidity risk requirements on foreign currency funding, the importance and usefulness of public financial disclosure, suggestions on extending the use of market-related monitoring rules and metrics. Third, we also share with you more specific comments and suggestions formulated on the following topics : areas of further work like intra-group and cross border liquidity risk management, selling to gauge market liquidity, clarifying LCR and NSFR definitions, credit rating downgrades, and defining required stable funding categories. Fourth, the results of the analysis support the need to promote a more level business and supervisory playing field for all internationally active banks. Last but not least, we draw the risk-return and financial implications for Canadian banks of the adoption of the BCBS proposals for liquidity risk management and supervision.
The Robustness Of The Basic EOQ
Authors: Ren Louie 
Published: February 2016

The robustness of the basic Economic Ordering Quantity (EOQ) is studied for annual demand, set-up cost, and holding cost from various uniform and normal probability distributions. Instead of comparing TC*( ) and TC*(Q*) where is an estimate of Q*, the ( ) and TC*(Q*) are compared where ( ) is the total cost from realizations of annual demand, set-up cost, and holding cost. Simulation results show the robustness of the basic EOQ.
An Establishment Of The Role Of Private And Public Sector Interests In The Context Of Tourism Transport Planning And Development: The Case Of Malaysia
Authors: Cheuk Sharon , Liew-Tsonis Janie , Ing Grace Phang , Razli Izyanti Awang 
Published: February 2016

Although 90% of the tourism industry consists of small businesses, the approach of consecutive governments in Malaysia is that tourism has reached a stage where its promotion and funding is the responsibility of the private sector. When national and regional tourist promotional boards were established, it was the intention that these would act as a vehicle for cooperation between the public and private sectors. This has proved to be extremely optimistic, with only a small number of tourism businesses actually joining in the decision-making processes of the direction for tourism development. The role of tourism development has been further undermined with the increasing rate of tourist arrivals, further implicating the control of public-sector resources, while governments place reliance on private/public partnerships as the model for the future. This research paper reports on the findings of a two-year study on the promotion of transportation in tourism development in Malaysia. It establishes the role of private and public sector interests in the context of tourism transport planning and development. A qualitative approach to in-depth interviews was conducted with respondents from the public sector (policy makers and local authority and government agency representatives) and the private sector (tour and travel agents) in Malaysia. The empirical evidence has shown that implementing stakeholders within the tourism industry are receptive to the promotion of transportation and aware of the differing roles each sector plays in the context of tourism transport planning and development. However, they do not fully exploit the complementary role played by the other sector for mutual benefit via consultations and public private partnerships at the planning stage.
Management Education: A Key Element For The Development Of Private Enterprises In Latin America. The Case Of Ecuador
Authors: Theodore John D. 
Published: February 2016

The purpose of this article was to determine the availability of management education in Ecuador and the usage of it by the management of private enterprises in the country. Management’s importance in the economy of a nation is paramount because it is responsible for the success or failure of businesses, which are the foundation stones of the free enterprise system. In turn, one of the most essential prerequisites to effective management is management education because it increases the knowledge, skills, and productivity of managers. The benefits of a better management education are improved ability to identify viable business opportunities; less resources waste on ill-conceived ventures; enhanced competitive edge internationally; improved job satisfaction and retention of personnel; and improved effectiveness in the turbulent external environment. It was concluded that in the educational sector Ecuadorian private enterprises are not currently in a position to contribute toward economic development because their managers do not have the necessary and commensurate managerial education
Empirical Evidence On The Valuation Of Financial Information In France
Authors: Stephanou-Charitou Melita , Vlittis Adamos 
Published: February 2016

We propose and examine empirically the role of financial information; namely, earnings and cash flows in France. The dataset consists of more than 1,000 French firm-year observations over a ten-year period. Regression analysis is undertaken to test the major research hypotheses. The major conclusions drawn from the empirical results are summarized as follows. First, results indicate that both earnings and cash flows are taken into consideration by French investors in their investment decisions. Second, given cash flows, results show that earnings are always very important to investors and financial analysts for investment purposes. However, results reveal that investors in France place much more attention to earnings and less attention to cash flows. In summary, the evidence provided in this study supports that indeed there are substantial differences in the way investors and financial analysts perceive financial information, such as earnings and cash flows in France. The results of this study should be of great importance to the major stakeholders, such as investors, creditors and financial analysts, especially after the latest financial scandals and collapses of giant organizations worldwide. Furthermore, these results support that fundamental analysis plays a very important role in the capital markets and it should be taken more seriously into consideration by the stakeholders for investing, credit, financing and valuation analysis purposes.
Fiduciary Or Force In The 21st Century?
Authors: Gertmenian L. Wayne , McCord Linnea , Young Terry 
Published: February 2016

The rise of China over the past three decades is more than astonishing. Some have considered it to be nothing short of an economic miracle. China has transformed itself from a rural backward economy in 1978 to a thoroughly modern-looking economy and society today. While it took the United States almost 50 years (from 1839-86) to double its per capita GDP, China has done it twice in less than twenty years –from 1978-87 and again from 1987-96. The Chinese economy has improved at such a dramatic rate that many commentators have presumed China’s imminent global economic dominance in the 21st century. Many now consider geopolitics a bi-polar affair, where only America and China matter. In 2008, for the first time, serious cracks are beginning to surface in the foundations of China’s economy, prompting a reconsideration of whether China’s future success is as guaranteed and inevitable as first thought. China is facing its most difficult year in this new century. With millions of unemployed workers and a slowing economic growth, China is facing tens of thousands of protests each year. Since the legitimacy of the Chinese government is based on its economic success, China’s continued success in the 21st century will depend on whether the Communist Party is able to maintain trust in its economy, political system and society. China’s economic sustainability rests on whether it can cope successfully with its new- found economic power. The question that has yet to be decided is whether China will adopt a type of fiduciary culture like the ones prevalent in common law countries, such as the U.S. and Britain and its former colony Hong Kong, or will China resort to the use of force to maintain its political and economic power?

Authors: Maneenetr Thirachaya 
Published: February 2016

The objectives of this research were to study the motivations and working behavior of the frontier tourism business at the Thailand-Laos border, to compare the working relationship between travel agencies and the hotel business, and to study the relationship between working motivation and working behavior in the tourism business by using a total sampling of 140 persons: 112 persons from the hotel business and 28 persons from travel agencies. Personnel in the tourism business consisted of 42.1% males and 57.9% females. The ages ranged accordingly: 15-25 years old (15.0%), 26-35 years old (53.6%), and 36-45 years old (26.4%). The educational levels of the sample group were: high school diploma or equivalent (28.6%), associate’s degree or equivalent (27.9%) and bachelor’s degree (27.9%). Most of the personnel in the tourism business had a working motivation in the moderate range and the others were in the high range. Most of the personnel in the tourism business thought that their work quantities were in the moderate range. The overall work qualities were in the high range. Therefore, the personnel were considered to be worthy resources for having an average in the highest range. For overall abilities, they were in the high range and their average rating for morals was in the high range. The relationship with the organization of the personnel in the tourism business was in the moderate range; however, if someone criticized their organization, they would suddenly rise into the high range. In addition, the results of the hypotheses are: 1) the working behavior in the travel agencies and hotel business had the same significance rank of 0.05; 2) the working motivation of the personnel in travel agencies had a positive relationship with their working behavior having a significance rank of 0.05 by using the Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation result of 0.69; 3) the working motivation of the personnel in the hotel business also had a positive relationship with their working behavior having a significance rank of 0.05 by using the Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation result of 0.74; and 4) the working motivation of the personnel in the tourism business also had a positive relationship with their working behavior having a significance rank of 0.05 by using the Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation result of 0.79.

The Informal Sector In Sub-Saharan Africa: Out Of The Shadows To Foster Sustainable Employment And Equity?
Authors: Sparks Donald L , Barnett Stephen T. 
Published: February 2016

Over the past twenty years or so, there has been a debate that basically asks “…whether the informal sector should really be seen as a marginalized, ‘survival’ sector, which mops up excess or entrenched workers, or as a vibrant, entrepreneurial part of the economy which can stimulate economic growth and job creation.” (African Union 2008). This paper argues the latter. Further, this paper argues that employment in the informal sector is no longer a journey, but has become the destination of many. If the aim is to create jobs and reduce poverty, the informal sector must be included in the debate. Indeed, this paper recommends that the debate about the advantages of formal sector vs. the informal sector needs to end. Governments need to unequivocally recognize and admit the importance of the informal sector and finds ways to encourage its growth. They also need, at the same time, to decide how to strengthen the formal sector and extend benefits to those in the informal sector, while removing barriers to the formal sector to allow more to participate. Specifically, there are at least five major areas where changes need to be made: 1) Establish an enabling environment and supportive regulatory framework, 2) Provide access to appropriate training, 3) Improve basic facilities and amenities and infrastructure, 4) Increase ability to obtain property title and access to credit, and 5) Improve national databases and establish uniform standards.

Authors: Hasnawati Sri 
Published: February 2016

This study aims to evaluate the portfolio of value stocks and glamor stocks returns by Price Earning Ratio (PER) at the Indonesia Stocks Exchange during the period of 2003-2007 and to test the risk adjusted performance of the two types of stocks. Results of the study reveal that the portfolio of value stocks return is not higher than the portfolio of the glamor stocks return. The study also indicates that the risk adjusted performance of value stocks is smaller than that of glamor stocks. The implication of this research is that the investment in the portfolio of glamor stocks may yield highest returns as well as highest investment risks. The analysis of the coeeficient of variation show that the portfolio of value stocks has a lower risk (1.42) compared to that of glamors stocks (3.48). Therefore, rational investors may choose to invest in value stocks.

Authors: Dhakal Dharmendra , Nag Raja , Pradhan Gyan , Upadhyaya Kamal P. 
Published: February 2016

This paper uses panel data to examine the effect of exchange rate uncertainty on foreign direct investment in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand – countries that have continued to attract considerable foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows while also experiencing a great deal of volatility in exchange rates. After establishing the stationarity of the data series, a panel cointegration test was conducted, following which an error correction model was developed and estimated using two sets of panel data. The overall estimation results are consistent with theoretical predictions. We find that exchange rate volatility has a favorable effect on foreign direct investment in our sample countries.
