Abstract
The subject of this dissertation is to try to find an answer to the question whether there is such a thing as international copyright. It has been claimed and is the general view of the United States that there is no such thing and that it is up to each country to set their own rules about how and if they intend to protect intellectual works of foreign authors. However it is a fact that there exist a number of conventions, treaties and agreements with the sole purpose to protect the intellectual works of authors around the world. Instrument such as the Berne Convention, the Universal Copyright Convention and more provide that states that decide to adhere to them are obligated to protect works of foreign authors to the same extent as they protect works of their own nationals. These conventions expect that the copyrights are given national treatment where the states incorporate the rules of the convention to their own national law and give at least the minimum protection that is provided for by the convention. There is a common view by the people of the world that authors have moral rights over their works so they cannot be changed or distorted in any way that the author does not allow, also that the authors have an economic right so others cannot profit on the work of the author at his expense. This dissertation will consider the evidence and come to a conclusion about whether international copyright exists or not

“It does not go as well as it could”: The Views of Melanesian Migrant Farm Workers of the Cultural, Economic and Social Benefits and Costs of Seasonal Work in New Zealand
No full textNew Zealand‟s Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme (RSES), launched in 2007, is an example of international short-term labour migration schemes that have been developed to solve labour shortages in the destination countries, especially in the agricultural sector, and to contribute to the economic development of the labourers‟ home countries. A review of the literature identifies four main issues that have been investigated: the strengthening of the economic base of the labourers‟ home countries, how schemes contribute to adult farmer education and the transfer of technology and skills, links between migrant workers and other development strategies, and the economic and social costs of workers‟ participation in schemes. Much of this literature highlights benefits to both countries from such schemes but there are a small number of critics who question the costs of schemes to the labourers and their home countries. Little information is available on the workers‟ own views of the costs and benefits of schemes for them. This thesis focuses on the experiences of a group of labourers from Vanuatu who came to work in New Zealand under the RSES in 2009. It asks: What are the views of fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) Melanesian seasonal migrant farm workers on the cultural, economic, and social benefits and costs of working in New Zealand under the RSES? Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted in Bislama with 12 Vanuatu RSES workers in Northland in August 2009. Thematic analysis of the interview transcripts identified four benefits recognised by the interviewees: earning monetary income for family and community back home, gaining useful knowledge and skills that could be applied back home, personal satisfaction from the work, and personal experiences of a new country and society. Four costs recognised by the interviewees were also identified: difficult working conditions, earning less money than expected, lack of freedom and choice with respect to aspects of their time in New Zealand, and the emotional difficulties of missing home and family along with implications for gender roles of being away from home. The interviewees lacked information and understanding about a number of important aspects of the RSES, and there were no effective mechanisms for them to raise and solve the problems they were encountering. This thesis offers a number of policy recommendations that not only support the effective operation of such a scheme from the host country‟s perspective but also seeks to ensure that such schemes are of genuine value to the participating workers, their families and their home countries

Making vision into power : Britain's acquisition of the world's first radar-based integrated air defence system 1935 - 1941
No full textThis thesis represents the first application of a current conceptual model of defence acquisition to analyse the historical process, the 1935 - 1941 British acquisition of an integrated air defence system pivoted upon the innovative technology of radar. For successful acquisition of a military capability, the model posits that balanced attention must be focused acoss eight 'lines of developmen' - not only equipment, but also doctrine and concepts, logistics, structures, personnel, organisation, training and information with an overarching requirement for interoperability. This thesis contrasts what turned out to be a successful acquisition, of radar to achive air interception capability by day in the Battle of Britain, with less successful acquisition, or radar to achieve the same capability at night, where an effective system arrived too late to ward off the Blitz. The results establish the validity of the model and its attendant lines of development concepts, and furnish new insights into acquisition processes and military history. Acquisition lessons are derived for the capability-based involvement of industry, for the experience and personality necessary for key managers at different 'life stages' of an acquisition and for the avoidance of over-rapid 'dysfunctional diffusion' of innovative technologies. Historical insights for the Battle of Britain include the sub-optimal performance, for trivial reasons, of key South Coast radars, and the critical importance of the human elements of the radar-based air defence system. For the Blitz, airborne radar hardware has previously been identified as a key problem, whereas research here exposes the greater need for accurate ground control radar, the sound selection and training of pilots and operators in new tactics, and provision of equipment maintainers and test gear. New evidence illustrates that pursuit of an alternative to radar significantly delayed the optimal solution, and throws fresh light both on personalities and on development process management

Penelitian ini berjudul “Naskah Longser Karya H. R. Hidayat Suryalaga Untuk Bahan Pembelajaran Di SMA/MA/SMK (Ulikan Struktural-Sémiotik)”. Dewasa ini peminat drama longser semakin menurun, hal itu disebabkan oleh sajian cerita yang ditampilkan tidak sesuai dengan keadaan di masa sekarang. Tidak banyak pengarang yang menulis naskah drama Sunda, apalagi yang menulis naskah longser jika dibandingkan dengan penulis cerpen, novel, atau puisi. Lahan untuk memuat naskah longser pun terbatas, sehingga sulitnya mencari buku kumpulan naskah longser. Tujuan diadakan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan karya sastra, khususnya naskah longser berdasarkan struktur-semiotiknya kemudian diterapkan sebagai bahan pembelajaran di SMA/MA/SMK. Dalam pendeskripsian permasalahan tersebut, penulis menggunakan dua metode, yakni metode deskriptif analitis, dan struktural-semiotik. Kajian struktural digunakan untuk mendeskripsikan struktur drama sedangkan kajian semiotik digunakan dalam mendeskripsikan makna yang terdapat dalam naskah karya H. R. Hidayat Suryalaga yang berjudul “Mad Toing”, dan “Tiodedad”. Sumber data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah dari kumpulan naskah drama karya H. R. Hidayat Suryalaga yang tidak diterbitkan. Dan di fokuskan pada dua naskah longser yang berjudul “Mad Toing” dan “Tiodedad”. Setelah proses identifikasi terhadap naskah longser tersebut dapat dideskripsikan kedua naskah tersebut bertemakan tentang kemanusiaan yaitu mengenai masalah moral dan masalah sosial yang sedang berlangsung. Penemuan lainnya berdasarkan kajian semiotik yaitu, dalam naskah “Mad Toing” terdapat 7 ikon, 20 indeks dan 11 simbol. Sedangkan dalam naskah “Tiodedad” terdapat 10 ikon. 30 indeks dan 11 simbol. Berdasarkan hasil pengaplikasian antar kedua metode beserta sumber data yang berupa dua sampel naskah longser maka penulis memberikan alternatif bahan ajar untuk pembelajaran drama di SMA/MA/SMK.
This research entitled “The Manuscript “Longser” by H. R. Hidayat Suryalaga for Learning in SMA/MA/SMK (A Structurally Semiotic Study). Nowdays longser drama devotee increasingly decline, this thing due to performance the story presented not suitable or in conflict with situation in period now. Not much author that write Sunda manuscript drama, beside that write longser manuscript in comparison with author short story, novel or poetry. Land longser to load manuscript is limited, so it is difficult ti find a book manuscript collection longser. Purpose of this study was conducted to identify and describle works of literature, in particular manuscript longser based on structure-semiotic then applied as a learning materian in SMA/MA/SMK. The description of these problem the authors, used two methods namely descriptive analytical method used in data processing, and structural-semiotic. Structural studies are used to describle the structure of the drama while semiotic studies are used to identify and describle the meaning contained in the text of manuscript by H. R. Hidayat Suryalaga entitled “Mad Toing” and “Tiodedad”. The data source used in this research is from the collection of drama manuscript by H. R. Hidayat Suryalaga that is not published. And focused of two longser manuscript entitled “Mad Toing” and “Tiodedad”. After the identification of the manuscript longser can be described both text theme of humanity that is the issue of moral and social progress. Other findings based on studies semiotic is in the script “Mad Toing” there are 7 icons, 20 index, and 11 symbols. Based on the application of the “Tiodedad” there are 10 icons, 30 index, and 11 symbols. Based on the application of the result between the two methods along with the data source in the form of two samples longser manuscript, the authors provide alternative teaching materials for teaching SMA/MA/SMK
