This paper recounts some experiences on the Western Front of two men who had worked at the Ipswich Railway Workshops before the First World War. Lt. Colonel A. C. Fewtrell , who trained as a cadet engineer at Ipswich Railway Workshops, and was involved in the operations of a light railway unit on the Western Front presented a paper about his experiences to some graziers in New South Wales in 1920. Major S. H. Hancox had been in charge of the powerhouse at Ipswich Railway Workshops before enlisting and being sent to France where he worked on the construction of a section of the 60 cm gauge light railways during 1917. Hancox relates some of the horrific conditions he encountered through letters to his mother in Brisbane. In 1916, the British adopted the 60 cm gauge light railway system which was already being successfully used by both the Germans and the French. The British introduced the Hunslet 4-6-0T locomotives, many hundreds of other steam and early internal combustion locomotives as well as thousands of wagons providing a solution to maintaining the necessary supplies to the front lines. Following the end of the War, fifteen Hunslet locomotives built for use in France came to Queensland for use in the sugar industry. Hunslet Engine Company Works Number 1239, delivered to France in late 1916, was one of those Hunslet locomotives. We briefly follow the history of No.1239 after its delivery to Australia in 1920 and donation to the Queensland Museum in 2005.

The South Wales Railway was opened between Chepstow in Monmouthshire and Neyland on the Milford Haven estuary between 1850 and 1856, and in combination with the electric telegraph and ancillary railways established a transport and communications network that exercised a profound impact on society and identity in south Wales. By the narrowing of distance through speed, this network brought many urban communities and their nearby districts closer together and was instrumental in transforming the selfimage and identity of south Wales. Conversely, while the network compressed distance, it also forced excluded communities into relative isolation and consequently divided south Wales.

Annotation:
The new industrial park in Kombolcha, South Wälo is one of a number of its kind which have recently been established in various regions of Ethiopia, as part of the government’s endeavor to boost industrialization and non-agricultural employment in the country by attracting foreign manufacturing companies. Kombolcha Industrial Park (KIP) is located in South Wälo, a region probably more widely known for its famines than for industrial development. In recent years the region has seen large scale infrastructural developments, especially the new airport, which opened in 2014, and the railway, which was under construction at the time of fieldwork. Coupled with a general economic growth in the country, this has contributed to an unprecedented population growth in Kombolcha and the nearby administrative centre of South Wälo, Dessie, even before the establishment of KIP. The industrial park alone is expected to employ about 20,000 workers when it is fully operational. Kombolcha and Dessie combined also host a number of teaching institutions, spanning from a full-fledged university with campuses in both towns, to technical and vocational training institutes, many of which offering teaching programmes tailored for industrial needs. That Kombolcha for decades has been a centre of textile industry, with the Kombolcha Textile factory, employing about 2,000 workers, as a cornerstone company, most probably accounts for the fact that many of the teaching institutions in the area educate workers for the textile industry. Hence, one might believe that recruitment to KIP of competent work force would be an easy task, even if it was mandatory for the new industrial companies in KIP to recruit their employees locally. The enterprise described here, however, specialized in leather handbags, and therefore needed to provide further specialized training for their newly recruited workforce. The article is based on observations of the start-up of the very first foreign company in Kombolcha Industrial Park, a South Korean manufacturer of leather hand bags for the international up-market, and which the author was able to follow intermittently from the instalment of machineries and training of the first cohort of machine operators in early 2018 until it was fully operational a year later. The article provides a brief account of issues of recruitment and training of local workers to industrial work in a multicultural setting. Both the management and the workers can be described as pioneers : the management being first to operate a foreign company in this part of the country, under the auspices of the Industrial Parks Development Corporation of Ethiopia (IPDC) and in close contact with and controlled by a number of national and district level authorities, and with a workforce they had little prior knowledge about, and, on the other hand, the workers, unused as they were to industrial work in an international setting and with expectations, especially about wage levels, that were far from being met when they encountered the realities of working in the factory. The article deals with the major stress points as seen both from the perspective of the management and of the workers. For the management the level of competence and stability of the workers were initial points of concern. For the workers, the main reason for dissatisfaction was the wage levels they were offered. On top of this, the international work environment in the factory, with Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and Ethiopian employees and managers, accounted for problems related to language barriers and differences in work culture. It seems, however, that many problems were overcome a year after start-up ; the turnover of workers was relatively low, compared with other industrial parks in Ethiopia, and the quality of the work (and products) was reported by the management to be good. The label “ Made in Ethiopia” placed on up-market leather bag brands represented a victory for the factory and its management and employees, but a vulnerable one, given the dependence on low wages, reliable services and, not least, political stability. The latter part of the article deals with lessons learned about doing ethnographic fieldwork in a setting like this. Because the author approached the factory management prior to production start-up, contact with the international management group and the first Ethiopian trainees, who had been to Vietnam for training and were later called “ juniors,” indicating their potential path of career in the factory, was informal and unrestrained. Gradually, as proper production started and several production lines were in operation, middle managers were opposed to the presence of researchers in the factory hall, and it became obvious that the terms for doing fieldwork in the factory had to be negotiated and settled. Although this was an exploratory study, it gave insights to issues that need to be dealt with if international industry in Ethiopia is to be studied by Ethiopian and international scholars – which they should, also by anthropologists and other social scientists.

Annotation:
The South Korean government has established guidelines for railway capacity allocation. Railway transport services are provided by a monopoly company, which together with the guidelines, has hampered research into railway capacity allocation in South Korea. Recently, a new high-speed railway company has been established. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a fair and objective railway capacity allocation procedure. A model was developed to be applicable to South Korean high-speed railway capacity allocation, which is optimized by viewing the railway network as a location–time network. Because railway capacity allocation in South Korea is an administered process, various requirements must be followed; the model uses a genetic algorithm for such requirements. Two test scenarios were used to validate the proposed model, the solution to which resolves more than 70% of conflicts within 20 iterations (148 min). When an attempt is made to schedule infeasible trains compulsively, it is impossible to do so without relaxing one or more constraints. The average headway among real operating trains is very close to the results of the analysis. The proposed model with a genetic algorithm is a rational solution.

This article discusses the London & North Western Railway’s (LNWR) marketing activities before 1914. It extends our understanding of British railway marketing by examining how the company forged links with stakeholders in North Wales, particularly the resort authorities, in support of its development of the tourist trade there. While the company remained the dominant force in promoting the region, cooperative working facilitated the sharing of market intelligence, exchange of best practice, coordination of advertising efforts, coordination of services, and the harmonizing of a promotional message that appealed to middle-class discretionary travelers that North Wales was a place for health and pleasure. The article also shows how the LNWR deployed a system of integrated marketing communications, providing one of the earliest known examples within British business of such practice. The sum result was positive impacts on the development of the North Welsh tourist trade in the years before the World War I.

In 2012 a new relief road was built in Carmarthenshire, South Wales cutting through fossiliferous rocks of Upper Ordovician age and revealing new geological sections. The engineering company undertaking the construction work developed a good working relationship with palaeontologists wanting to collect from new temporary exposures. This was extremely valuable when a bed revealing large accumulations of a single species of fossil crinoids was discovered. Due to engineering deadlines the specimens had to be excavated rapidly but cooperation with company allowed access to the site until all the material was removed.

Annotation:
This thesis considers the social, political and religious changes affecting south Wales in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods through a holistic study of the lives of the men employed by the Taft Vale Railway (TVR). Its importance derives from four novel features. At its core are the employees of an entire railway company, not just a single centre or grade, and it has been informed by a wide range of disciplines from anthropology to theology. It has provided a closely observed examination of east Glamorgan society over the period, and it is emphasised that religion and politics were inextricably entwined in much of Welsh society. A contribution is made to the ongoing debate on the nature of community and its usefulness as a concept, and from this a 'Network Community' is proposed as a concept or investigative tool for use by social historians. The management's treatment of its workforce and the control strategies employed by companies through paternalism, welfarism and discipline are analysed. The Taft Vale dispute of 1900 is set in the context of the company's industrial relations history, and Ammon Beasley, General Manager 1891-1917, is shown to have been of greater importance to labour history than has been recognised. The fault lines in the realms of religion and politics, their influence on the company and the communities it served, and the denominational involvement of the TVA workmen are investigated. It draws attention to the fact that religion still played a ubiquitous role in the mores and culture of late-Victorian and Edwardian society. In south Wales this was dramatically enhanced by the phenomenon of religious revival; that of 1904-05 is shown to have been facilitated by the technology of the period, including the Taft Vale Railway, but without much impact on the railwaymen.

The aim of master thesis is to analyze the economic development of Manchukuo and to answer the question whether the establishment of Manchukuo had positive or negative impact on the economic development of the area. The analysis of the economic development of the region in 1929-1945 proves that the economic impact on the development of the area was positive. Despite an effort to have Manchukuo economically self-sufficient, the region was still very dependent on Japan in both economical and political aspects. However, the comparison of Chinese and Manchukuo's economies shows a higher level of economic development of Manchukuo. The thesis uses the method of the probe and historical-critical method. The conclusions are primarily based on historical and up-to-date literature written by foreign and Czech authors.

Annotation:
While individual biographies of convict lives have appeared in the literature of Australian colonial history - albeit in truncated form - an aggregate study of convicts selected from a homogeneous group has appeared less often. Thus an opportunity has been missed to examine the commonalities as well as differences of such individuals over time - both before and after their punishment. My thesis examines the lives of 15 convicts who had worked during their bondage at the Australian Agricultural Company in New South Wales. Although the primary purpose is to use the method of micro-prosopography to seek the commonalities, differences and idiosyncrasies of these convicts' experiences, as well as their aggregate, the biographies are important in themselves. By compiling portraits of their lives I have sought to rescue them from what E.P. Thompson famously called 'the enormous condescension of posterity'. Although gaps in the biographies inevitably appear, and more information about some than others has been found, all biographies reveal enough information to highlight broader themes in colonial history - criminality and punishment, alcohol, and economic outcomes - which have been explored extensively. By tracing, where possible, the trajectory of the lives of their families I have also examined the legacy of convicts in the later history of Australia.

Abstract By the sixteenth century iron making and shipbuilding had seriously depleted the wood supply in the two great southern English woodlands, the Weald near London and the Forest of Dean near the Welsh border. Henry VIII, concerned by his dependence on Continental and Scandinavian armaments, ordered a survey of potential British metalworking sites. Wales, with still-wooded forests and numerous rivers, was identified as a prime location for expanded iron production. The county of Glamorgan in South Wales, made up in part by steep valleys of the Brecon Beacon foothills, contained most of the potential Welsh sites.

Annotation:
Modern concrete silos and grain elevators are a persistent source of interest and fascination for architects, industrial archaeologists, painters, photographers, and artists. The legacy of the Australian examples of the early 1900s is appreciated primarily by a popular culture that allocates value to these structures on aesthetic grounds. Several aspects of construction history associated with this early modern form of civil engineering have been less explored. In the 1920s and 1930s, concrete grain elevator stations blossomed along the railway networks of the Australian Wheat Belts, marking with their vertical presence the landscapes of many rural towns in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and Western Australia. The Australian reception of this industrial building type of American origin reflects the modern nation-building aspirations of State Governments of the early 1900s. The development of fast-tracked, self-climbing methods for constructing concrete silos, a technology also imported from America, illustrates the critical role of concrete in that effort of nation-building. The rural and urban proliferation of concrete silos in Australia also helped establish a confident local concrete industry that began thriving with automatic systems of movable formwork, mastering and ultimately transferring these construction methods to multi-storey buildings after WWII. Although there is an evident link between grain elevators and the historiographical propaganda of heroic modernism, that nexus should not induce to interpret old concrete silos as a vestige of modern aesthetics. As catalysts of technical and economic development in Australia, Australian wheat silos also bear important significance due to the international technology transfer and local repercussions of their fast-tracked concrete construction methods.
