Abstract:
This essay examines why England experienced a civil war every fifty years from the Norman Conquest up until the Glorious Revolution of 1688–1689, and was completely stable after that point. The reasons had to do with, first, the slow accumulation of law and respect for the law that had occurred by the seventeenth century, and second, with the emergence of a strong English state and sense of national identity by the end of the Tudor period. This suggests that normative factors are very important in creating stable settlements. Rational choice explanations for such outcomes assert that stalemated conflicts will lead parties to accept second- or third-best outcomes, but English history, as well as more recent experiences, suggests that stability requires normative change as well.

Abstract:
Clear Blue Waters of the Danube was planned and drafted from October 2007 to December 2012. It is written from the perspective of Daniel Rourke, a young man whose life is changed forever by the arrival into the family home of Marija Kovač, a Croatian refugee. The wars leading to the break-up of Yugoslavia, notably the Croatian War of Independence from 1990-5 and the Bosnian Civil War from 1992-5, provide the novel's historical background. Preparation included interviews with conflict survivors, witnesses, soldiers who fought in the war, and those who were children during the fighting. Research visits to Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina took place during the summers of 2008 and 2009. I also drew upon conversations with former Yugoslav refugees from my time working in London during the 1990s and early 2000s. Other information was selected from biographies, historical records, documentary films, diaries and reports by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. Although the novel notes the key moments of Yugoslavia's violent break-up, Clear Blue Waters of the Danube is not a political thriller. It follows a young man on a journey of self-discovery that takes him away from the family home, first to London, then across the Balkans. By establishing the truth about terrible incidents from the past, he comes to a greater understanding about himself and his previous behaviour. More importantly he is able to re-evaluate the relationship with his father that lies at the heart of everything he does, and in whose shadow he has always lived. The question of whether a writer is truly able to separate himself from his/her subject matter is investigated in greater depth throughout my critical project. Planned between October 2007 and June 2008 then written over the following two years, the perspectives of English-speaking war correspondents during the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1939 are examined. Newspaper articles, memoirs, biographies and films are scrutinised. Although the allegiances of British newspapers were split more or less evenly, the majority of writers and reporters supported the Republican effort and invested huge amounts of personal feeling into their work. For a war fought over such contrasting values, a degree of bias was perhaps inevitable. As I began my research, my aim was to investigate to what extent objectivity in such circumstances was even possible. If news reports bore the hallmarks of fiction, what then of the Spanish Civil War novel? The final part of the project deals with Ernest Hemingway and For Whom the Bell Tolls. As a journalist, Hemingway had engaged in propaganda on behalf of the Republic and readily accepted the weak evidence behind the denunciation of Republican dissidents. Following the war‟s conclusion, he returned to Cuba to write his novel of the Spanish Civil War, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Ironically having written newspaper reports to spread misinformation, he elected to use the form of a novel to reveal his version of what had actually happened. Can fiction reveal the 'truth' about events when supposedly non-fiction texts cannot? My thesis asks fundamental questions about why we write and what we choose to write about. Can any writer truly separate him/herself from the subject matter? Can our understanding ever be full and free from bias and prejudice? Or do a writer's values permeate the work to the extent that, whether a newspaper article or a novel is written, genuine objectivity becomes impossible? Is the quest for objectivity a desirable or realistic aspiration?

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned chiefly with the military role of sea power during the English Civil War. Parliament’s seizure of the Royal Navy in 1642 is examined in detail, with a discussion of the factors which led to the King’s loss of the fleet and the consequences thereafter. It is concluded that Charles I was outmanoeuvred politically, whilst Parliament’s choice to command the fleet, the Earl of Warwick, far surpassed him in popularity with the common seamen. The thesis then considers the advantages which control of the Navy provided for Parliament throughout the war, determining that the fleet’s protection of London, its ability to supply besieged outposts and its logistical support to Parliamentarian land forces was instrumental in preventing a Royalist victory. Furthermore, it is concluded that Warwick’s astute leadership went some way towards offsetting Parliament’s sporadic neglect of the Navy. The thesis demonstrates, however, that Parliament failed to establish the unchallenged command of the seas around the British Isles. This was because of the Royalists’ widespread privateering operations, aided in large part by the King’s capture of key ports in 1643, such as Dartmouth and Bristol. The Navy was able to block many, but not all, of the King’s arms shipments from abroad, thus permitting Charles to supply his armies in England. Close attention is paid to the Royalist shipping which landed reinforcements from Ireland in 1643-44. The King’s defeat in the First Civil War is then discussed, with the New Model Army, and greater resources, cited as the key factors behind Parliament’s victory, with recognition that the Navy provided essential support. Finally, the revolt of the fleet in 1648 is examined. It is concluded that the increasing radicalism of Parliament alienated a substantial section of the Navy, but that the Royalists failed to capitalise on their new-found maritime strength.

Abstract:
One nation which paid particular attention to the American Civil War was Great Britain. Sharing a common language, important trade links, and having its largest colony border the United States, the British were, not unnaturally, close observers of the conflict. They were also very nearly participants when, in December 1861, the Union violated international law during the Trent Affair. Despite this, and other disputes over the rights of neutrals, such as the purchase and/or building of Southern sea-raiders such as the Alabama and Northern raids into Canada, Britain neither recognised the Confederacy, nor directly intervened in the war. Nonetheless, when the conflict ended, both former antagonists condemned Britain for allegedly sympathising with the other side. This thesis examines the nature of this sympathy, not from the diplomatic approach, which has already been well-researched, but from that of English public opinion. This latter area remains controversial. There exists a traditional interpretation which, simply put, divides English sentiment between progression on the side of the Union, and reaction on the side of the Confederacy. In response to this has arisen a revisionist approach which openly questions whether English opinion can be so easily divided and has challenged certain aspects and arguments of the traditional interpretation. Despite the revisionists, however, the most recent studies on the subject have largely resurrected the traditional view of English sentiment and the American Civil War. This thesis posits that the revisionist approach, far from over-correcting the traditional interpretation, has in fact been too mild a challenge. That English public opinion was not, in fact, split between two such opposing camps; that most in England were suspicious of both sides in the conflict, and that even each side's partisans were not entirely composed of any one particular social or political group.

Abstract:
Addressing the military organisation of both Royalists and Parliamentarians, the subject of this thesis is an examination of war effort during the mid-seventeenth century English Civil Wars by taking the example of Shropshire. The county was contested during the First Civil War of 1642-6 and also saw armed conflict on a smaller scale during the Second Civil War of 1648. This detailed study provides a comprehensive bipartisan analysis of military endeavour, in terms of organisation and of the engagements fought. Drawing on numerous primary sources, it explores: leadership and administration; recruitment and the armed forces; military finance; supply and logistics; and the nature and conduct of the fighting. The extent of military activity in Shropshire is explained for the first time, informing the history of the conflict there while reflecting on the nature of warfare across Civil War England. It shows how local Royalist and Parliamentarian activists and 'outsider' leaders provided direction, while the populace widely was involved in the administrative and material tasks of war effort. The war in Shropshire was mainly fought between the opposing county-based forces, but with considerable external military support. Similarly, fiscal and military assets were obtained locally and from much further afield. Attritional war in Shropshire from 1643 to 1646 involved the occupying Royalists engaging Parliamentarian inroads, in fighting the garrison warfare characteristic of the period. Although the outcome of both wars in Shropshire was determined by wider national events, in 1646 and again in 1648 the defeat of the county Royalists was due largely to their local Parliamentarian adversaries. Broadening this study to 1648 has provided insight into Parliamentarian county administration during the short interwar period.

Abstract:
Bringing Daylight with Them: American Writers and Civil War Washington explores the capital during wartime, a city remade by the thousands of new residents and visitors searching for government jobs, for their loved ones in the city's numerous military hospitals, or for a place to escape the bonds of Southern slavery. Among those who made their new homes in the city were writers - poets, novelists, journalists, editors - who then wrote about their experiences and their new city in ways that helped readers see for themselves what Washington was like during the Civil War. This project examines three of those writers - Elizabeth Keckley, Lois Bryan Adams, and Walt Whitman - who produced drastically different takes on the capital and their places in it. For Keckley, a former slave turned dressmaker to Washington's most fashionable women, including Mary Todd Lincoln, the capital was a labyrinth of power and influence. Learning to navigate it was vital to her status as a business woman in the growing free Black community. Adams, a Michigan poet and journalist, was a correspondent for a Detroit newspaper and a clerk in the Department of Agriculture. Her weekly "Letter from Washington" captured the movement and flow of a city made riotous, while coming to terms with the sacrifices of war and questioning a government's responsibility to its citizens during wartime. While so many writers represented Washington as a temporary space for themselves, as it was for so many who found themselves in the capital during the Civil War, Whitman lived there for nearly a decade, experiencing both the rush of war and what came after. Through a study of his poetry and prose, Washington emerges as not just the government seat but ultimately as a place of personal and professional fulfillment. Bringing Daylight with Them reads both the texts of wartime Washington and the city itself to understand how writers built the capital in the public's imagination.

Di, Mario Anna Maria. "What Remains and The failure of idealism in the Spanish Civil War." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2013. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4344/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis consists of two parts: a creative work and a reader’s companion to the novel which reflects on the process of research. The creative work is a novel entitled What Remains. Set during the Spanish civil war, it has a twin narrative structure, and through alternating chapters follows the fortunes of Michael, a Scottish volunteer fighting with the International Brigades, and Ana, a Spanish woman in Nationalist territory whose husband is fighting for the Republicans. At the start of the novel Michael volunteers to fight in the conflict and the narrative follows his progress through a year and eight months of fighting for the Republic and examines how the harsh realities of war affect his political beliefs. Ana discovers her husband has been captured by the Nationalists and makes a Faustian pact with a Nationalist captain to get her husband out of prison and back home. What Remains is an exploration of how war affects the soldier and the civilian, how they are desensitised and ultimately dehumanised by their environment. The reader’s companion is titled Faith and doubt: The failure of idealism in the Spanish civil war and is intended as an illumination of the process of researching and writing a historical novel. It guides the reader through the historical research, the texts utilised by the writer and the broader themes and contradictions of the war as discovered through the reading of nonfiction and creative works.

Abstract:
Introduction: Falls from heights represent one of the most frequent accidents in civil constructions, mainly caused by different roofing activities. The risks should be first evaluated by conducting safety inspections, and then implementing adequate control measures to eliminate or reduce the risks of accidents. New technologies facilitate those inspections and make the processes much more efficient. The objective of this study was to make a systematic review to analyse works which used a drone as a visual tool for such safety inspection activities, systematize main information needed to consider in developing future drone research in civil construction. Methodology: The research was carried out on the Brazilian platform for scientific journals and conferences called “CAPES Portal”through the Preferred Report for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyzes (PRISMA) methodology. Several keywords were used for searching, including: "Construction", "Construction Safety", "Safety Inspection", "Safety Management", "Drone", "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles". Results and Discussion: In total, 102 articles were identified through the searching. After applying all the inclusion and exclusion criteria (published in the last 10 years, published in English or Portuguese language), In addition, the articles were included only if related to the use of drones in civil construction and if had some relationship with work safety inspection. A total number of 15 articles fulfilled the selection criteria’s and were included in this review. Theinformation about the analysed studies included information such as author/reference, the objective of the study, the country where the study was conducted, the activities which were analysed, conclusions, limitations and the type of the drone which was used in the research. In total, 8 of the 15 studies were developed in the United States, representing 53% of the total, while other studies are from Germany (4), Brazil (2), Australia (1) and Spain (1). Most studies analysed the inspection ofbridges and roofs. Conclusions: Studies have shown that there is evidence of the advantages of using drones to assist in safety inspections in civil construction, especially in bridges and roofs.

Abstract:
Studding foreign languages at academic level, in technical universities means not just improving your students' vocabulary. The main target should be to develop all their language skills, but from the perspective of their future professional life. This is quite a difficult task because foreign languages, in Technical University of Civil Engineering, are part of the first two years curricula, a period when students are not familiar with their future profession and as a consequence they are not mastering professional vocabulary in their native language. . As many pedagogical approaches are underlining an adequate context through which new words are introduced is always of great help. That statement leads to the question of creating that context and here I may say virtual reality that can be imagined on the digital support is of great help The research main question refers to the advantages of using virtual reality, simulation if necessary, to improve students' language abilities, to help them to learn faster and easier. Secondary research questions refer to the efficiency of this pedagogical approach and to the time management (can it be improved? Is it a time consuming method?). As this type of research refers to different case studies, the methodological approach, generally used for such research was implemented. This paper presents the results of suggested experiment which has been developed for two academic years (2009-2011) at the Faculty of Technological Equipment and Building Equipment (TUCE) and was extended to other foreign languages such as German and Spanish. Although they are not distance learning students, best practices of that type of learning methodology are often used. Its efficiency was measured through different types of tests.

Abstract:
Wang Wei (699–759), an outstanding poet of the Tang period, was brought up in a Buddhist environment from a young age and remained a follower of Buddhist teachings throughout his life. Being a layman who chose the civil service career, he was acquainted and communicated with monks of different schools of Buddhism. He knew well canonical Mahayana scriptures that, clearly, had a certain impact on the poet’s worldview and works, and in many ways became his source of inspiration. One of these scriptures was undoubtedly the Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra (English: The Sutra of The Teaching of Vimalakirti; Chinese: Weimojie suo shuo jing, 維摩詰所說經). In this paper, the author, through the analysis of a number of Wang Wei’s works, makes an attempt to identify the impact of the conceptual component of the sutra on the poet’s worldview, which is transmitted in the themes and interpretations of his poems.

Abstract:
<p>The Submerged Floating Tube Bridge is an old concept from 1886, conceived by an English naval architect. The structure was proposed for several crossings in the 20th century, in Norway and in several other places in the world. Preliminary studies were performed but the structure was never analyzed as a real possibility due to the lack of technology. With the developments of the offshore oil&amp;gas platforms, the studies become more accurate, especially in correspondence with the E39 Fjord Crossing project, that aims to replace several ferries along the western coast of Norway with fixed links, in areas where the fjords can be extremely deep and the length of the required crossing very long. The paper tells about the story of this structure in the 20th century, about the projects and the people that have tried to bring this bridge into reality. The challenges that have hindered the construction of this structure are discussed and the goals achieved in the recent years are illustrated.</p>

Abstract:
<p>An increasing number of existing bridges no longer comply to current standards or have become functionally obsolete. Complete renovation is costly, time-consuming, results in disruption of traffic and is not sustainable. Current repair alternatives are often time-consuming and heavy in weight. In addition to existing methods, fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) could provide a repair alternative whereby applying a FRP deck will relieve the main girders and can mean that the greater part of the existing bridge can remain. The lifespan of existing structures can be longer extended. This offers new technical and strategic possibilities for the major renovation and replacement task of bridge structures of Rijkswaterstaat, explained in this paper. An updated version of the Dutch CUR-96 recommendation on the design of FRP structures was published in 2018 and an English translation in 2019. This document offers an improved framework and guidelines and is comparable to the Eurocodes regarding concrete and steel structures at material level. The recommendation may therefore be regarded as a desirable basis for the development of a Eurocode for FRP composite structures. Like other road authorities, Rijkswaterstaat is looking into the possibility of replacing current bridge deck structures of highway structures with FRP decks, mainly due to the favorable weight and durability performance. Various already applied FRP structures in Europe demonstrate the possibilities and value of its application.</p>

Abstract:
By combining the thematically relevant theoretical principles of alternative and innovative schools and the main standpoints of reception theory with scientific findings on contemporary concepts of learning and teaching, a theoretical-methodological framework of empirical research has been developed. The aim of the research was to determine whether there is a significant correlation between studentsʼreception of school and their competences for lifelong learning. Accordingly, there is necessityfor constant innovations of education and moral education in contemporary school for the purpose of promoting the development of such competences in school students. It has been determined that most senior grade elementary school students do not show a high level of perception of their respective schools. They are generally at average level of accepting the key components of school life and work. Their most prominent competences include information (digital) literacy and communication in mother tongue. These are followed by a limited ability to communicate in English and interpersonal and civic competences. The lowest scores have been recorded for mathematical literacy and learning to learn competence. The students’ receptions of school are closely related to their competences for lifelong learning. The paper explains the pedagogical implications of the research findings.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the consequences of the compulsory online education at university studies level during COVID-19 period. Current trends and goals in the education system such as focusing on practical sides of learning and creativity seem to be prone to improvement due to the possibilities of the new online medium, through the use of online platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, Webex, and Zoom. The paper analyses features of these online platforms which prompt use of visual material such as PowerPoint presentations during the lectures, ease of access to using video and audio material, comparatively to the face to face lecture halls where access to foreign languages laboratories and translation software was not always available, as well as encouraging possibilities of interaction during seminars and lectures by using buttons indicating go faster, go slower, yes, no as feedback from students to teachers present on Zoom platform. The methodology of the paper will combine teaching as a foreign language using face-to-face methods as well as using teaching and learning software and online materials, together with psychological theories of motivation in learning. The findings will be applied to teaching English as a foreign language seminars and to Culture and Civilization courses and seminars to students in Engineering at the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest where the author of the paper currently teaches as a lecturer. Activities of teaching with video and listening comprehension are encouraged due to the use of platforms and are readily available.

Abstract:
With the gradual adaptation of HUD (Head-Up-Display) in civil transportation, it was normal for civil pilots or even drivers to use it. Howev-er, any failure warning of airplane HUD was so fatal that required pilot to search for it immediately and make correct response to recover. As the pri-mary indicator of HUD warning, failure flag was well-designed especially in visual coding, which directly affected pilot’s recognition and acquisition of warning information. This research developed ergonomics experiment of HUD simulation interface and designed character size of failure flag as ex-periment variable. The participants were required to perform signal detection task and response to signal (warning occurred) or noise (no warning) accord-ingly. Therefore, both sensitivity and response bias were measured to analyze visual characteristics of failure flag and its influence on HUD warning.The mechanical failures of airplane were mainly caused by unreasonable mecha-nism structures or improper system operations, which was excluded from conse-quence of any manually operation or other outside factors . And the failure flag was shown on HUD when the sensor status was unavailable and the same parameter from different sources did not match . The representative mechanical failure flags were included with indicated airspeed warning, barometrical altitude warning, head-ing warning and ground proximity warning. Moreover, HUD failure warning could be displayed in various channels of visual, auditory and tactile manners, and the first two were most widely used channels . The visual channel of HUD failure warning was normally designed in visual coding technology, which was involved with size, position, salient of blink or textbox frame. And the auditory channel focused on volume and tone of warning voice. Specifically, the minimum character size of failure flag was 1/200 of the visual field distance, i.e., at least 0.18-inch character was required to be shown on HUD at distance of 36-inch away. In addition, the aspect ratio for English letter was required as 3:5 , and its typeface was selected as Arial . To analyze the effect of visual coding on failure flag on HUD, this research firstly developed HUD interface simu-lation, and then carried out ergonomics experiment to validate the influence of char-acter size.3.2Experiment InterfaceAs shown in Fig.3, the experiment interface was displayed on 17-inch computer screen with visual distance of 60cm. The screen resolution was 1440×900 and aver-age luminance was 120cd/m2. The participants were required to interact with exper-iment computer through normal mouse and keyboard. The HUD interface was simu-lated on GL Studio platform, and the experiment was realized using C++ and net communication technology on Visual Studio 2012. Each interaction with experiment computer was recorded and output when the experiment task was completed.3.4Experimental TaskThe participants were required to perform signal detection task during the experi-ment block, followed by the order of Latin Square fashion. And each block lasted for ten minutes with interval of five minutes. Moreover, the failure flag was designed to occur at possibility of 75%, with noise-signal ratio as 1:3. To response each failure flag, they need to press corresponding button of W/A/S/D/E on keyboard according to the specific warning. And SPACE button was expected to be pressed when no warning was shown.ResultsBoth statistics analysis and signal detection method were used to process the exper-iment results. First, descriptive statistics was used to illustrate central tendency and dispersion degree of detection performance. Then, repeated measured ANOVA was used to examine the effect of character size. In addition, sensitivity d’ and response bias were processed to evaluate the influence of failure warning based on signal detection theory.

Abstract:
The projects sponsored by the Gülen-inspired movement are numerous, international and costly in terms of human and financial capital. Critics of the movement often question the fi- nancing of these initiatives – with some convinced of collusion with Middle Eastern govern- ments, others (within Turkey) suspicious that Western governments are financially backing the projects. Aware of these criticisms, in a recent comment to a group of visiting follow- ers, Fethullah Gülen indicated greater financial transparency must become a priority for the movement. This paper addresses the financing of Gülen-inspired projects, based on interviews with busi- ness leaders in Turkey, as well as local businessmen throughout Turkey who constitute the financial infrastructure of the movement. In addition, the paper presents data from one local Gülen movement organisation in Houston, Texas, that collects thousands of dollars annually from local members, mostly students on small educational stipends. The paper is framed sociologically in terms of organisational theories of commitment. Beginning with Kanter (1972;1977) and including subsequent major figures in the organi- sational field (e.g. Reichers 1985; Meyer and Allen 1991; Hall 2002; Scott 2003), scholars have demonstrated a positive correlation between sacrifices asked of members and degree of commitment to the goals of the organisation. Using this perspective, the paper argues that the financial contributions made by members in the Gülen movement both demonstrate commit- ment to the ideals espoused by Fethullah Gülen and generate commitment to the movement. The paper presents empirical evidence, based on interviews with financial supporters both in Turkey and the U.S., of how financial resources are generated, the initiatives being supported and the impact of financial giving on the commitment of supporters. The Gülen movement is a civil society movement that arose in the late 1960s in Turkey, initially composed of a loose network of individuals who were inspired by M. Fethullah Gülen. As a state-approved mosque preacher, Gülen delivered sermons in cities throughout Turkey, beginning with a handful of listeners and gradually drawing tens of thousands of people. His sermons focused not only on religious texts but included a broad array of such topics as religion and science, social justice, human rights, moral values and the importance of education. Gülen repeatedly stressed the importance of educating the youth of society by establishing first-rate schools that expose students to the latest scientific knowledge in an at- mosphere of moral values. The projects sponsored by Gülen-inspired followers today number in the thousands, span international borders and are costly in terms of human and financial capital (Woodhall 2005). These initiatives include over 2000 schools and seven universities in more than ninety countries in five continents (Yavuz and Esposito 2003; Baskan 2004; Tekalan 2005), two modern hospitals, the Zaman newspaper (now in both a Turkish and English edition), a television channel (Samanyolu), a radio channel (Burc FM), CHA (a ma- jor Turkish news agency), Aksiyon (a leading weekly news magazine), national and interna- tional Gülen conferences, Ramadan interfaith dinners, interfaith dialog trips to Turkey from countries around the globe and the many programs sponsored by the Journalists and Writers Foundation. In addition, the Isik insurance company and Bank Asya, an Islamic bank, are af- filiated with the Gülen community. In 1993 the community also established the Business Life Cooperation Association (ISHAD) which has 470 members (Baskan 2004). Questions regarding the financing of these numerous and expensive projects are periodically raised by both critics of the Gülen Movement and newcomers to the movement who are invited to Gülen related events. Because of the large amounts of money involved in these projects, on occasion people have raised the possibility of a collusion between the movement and various governments, especially Saudi Arabia and/or Iran, and including the Turkish government. There has even been suspicion that the American CIA may be a financial partner behind the projects (Kalyoncu, forthcoming). Aware of these criticisms, in a recent comment to a group of visiting followers, Fethullah Gülen indicated that a priority must be proactive financial transparency. In this paper, we address directly the issue of the financing of Gülen inspired projects based on the little that is available in published sources, including an interview with Gülen himself, and supplementing that information with interviews with business leaders in Turkey who constitute the infrastructure of the movement. In addition, we present data from one local Gülen organization in Houston, Texas, that regularly collects over half a million dollars from local members, mostly students on small educational stipends. Our analysis is framed socio- logically in terms of organizational theories of commitment. We argue that the contributions made by rank and file movement members, as well as by wealthier sponsors, both demon- strate commitment to the ideals of the movement and simultaneously generate commitment to the movement. An analysis of Gülen-inspired financial contributions must include the ideological and reli- gious motivations inherent in the concepts of hizmet, himmet, sohbet, istisare, and mutevelli. For an understanding of these concepts, we are most indebted to the superb work of Mehmet Kalyoncu whose study of the Gülen movement in Mardin, a city in southeastern Turkey, was very helpful both in understanding these ideas and in demonstrating their applicability to the financing of local projects in the city.
