Abstract:
According to the Webster's unabridged dictionary, a mania is an excessively intense enthusiasm, interest, or desire; a craze. I experience a mania on a daily basis: I take photographs. I trap photographs inside flat, airless fish tanks where time stands still. The creatures captured inside the tanks resurrect every time I see them to remind me of a sound, an odor, a flavor, and, ultimately, a feeling I once experienced and now cherish. This project will attempt to show the energy captured in my photographic archives as a journey through my memories using an experimental interactive method.

Pratt, Ken. "Hunting Captain Henley." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2009. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/607/.

Full text
Abstract:
The term post traumatic stress is routinely used to describe the psychological experiences of soldiers returning from war. It is used here to describe the effects it has on the families of PTS victims, in particular children. Hunting Captain Henley is a novel which explores the long term effects of a father’s post traumatic stress on a son’s (intellectual) development. It tracks the progress of the narrator from childhood to adulthood as he sets about tracking down the (English) Royal Signals Captain who allegedly bullied his dad into shooting Arab civilians during the Ismaelia police uprising at Suez in 1951. In his 1919 book Scottish Literature: Character and Influence G. Gregory Smith first coined the phrase Caledonian Antisyzygy to spotlight the zigzag of contradictions at the heart of Scottish Literature, especially under the stress of foreign (in particular English) influence. The term has since been used to point at the schizophrenia at the heart of Scottishness. The novel considers the dual influences of the English (language) on Scottish writing and families. As a prologue to the book a commentary is provided. Scotland’s Fascist Voice addresses the unexplored area of the present-day fascist consciousness in Scotland. It does so by firstly acknowledging Scotland’s role in the creation of the British Empire then delineates a developing contemporary identity borne out of that imperial experience. It examines the significance of The Raucle Tongue, hitherto uncollected prose by Hugh MacDiarmid, in particular his Plea for a Scottish Fascism. The remaining chapters of the commentary explain the significance of a form of cultural repression at work in Scottish society and showcase the fascist style mindset and its incumbent voice. It is concluded that as both victims and perpetators of Empire Scots must now acknowledge this duality of experience and carry forth its impact on both our language and identity into the 21st century.

de, Belin Amanda Jayne. "Transitional hunting landscapes : deer hunting and foxhunting in Northamptonshire, 1600-1850." Thesis, University of Leicester, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/10256.

Full text
Abstract:
Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries the sport of hunting was transformed. The principal prey changed from deer to fox, and the methods of pursuit were revolutionized. The traditional explanation of the hunting transition has aligned it with change in the landscape. Disappearing woodland and increased enclosure led to decline of the deer population. Attention turned to the fox out of necessity. This thesis questions the traditional explanation. It centres on Northamptonshire because the county contained the archetypal landscapes of both the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ forms of hunting. Although often thought of as a county of classic midland open-field systems and parliamentary enclosure, Northamptonshire also contained three royal forests. Where the royal forests had once been the prime hunting grounds, by the nineteenth century this mantle was worn by the grassland of the ‘shires’. The elite hunted the fox in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire. To hunt anywhere else was to hunt in the ‘provinces’. In Jacobean England, the major pleasure to be gained from the pursuit of the deer was observing the skill of the hounds. The major pleasure to be gained from ‘modern’ fox hunting was the thrill of a fast gallop across country. If seventeenth century hunting was about the hound, then nineteenth-century hunting was about the horse. The thesis contends that the partially wooded landscape that typified royal forest largely survived across the period 1600-1850, but it was not the landscape for a horseback pursuit at breakneck speed. The defining feature of the shires landscape was mile after mile of grass to gallop across. The earlier landscape survived, but was no longer what was required. This thesis suggests that the many changes that hunting underwent in this period were directly related to the transformation of the hunting horse. The nearthoroughbred horse became the mount of choice for those who hunted in the shires. The fast horse, the fast hound, and the fast prey came together with the availability of extensive rolling pasture. It was, quite literally, the thrill of the chase that led to the hunting transition.

Abstract:
Deer Hunting in Baghdad is a collection of poems dealing with both autobiographical and fictional responses to death. The collection includes poems that primarily address the period closely following the death of the author's father, as well as poems that focus on a largely fictional narrative centered around the character of the author's brother. These poems explore the journey of the brother character through his participation in the second Iraq war, and a subsequent delusion that causes him to convince himself that his father had never died. These poems focus on themes of family, death, religion, trauma, survival, and PTSD.

Abstract:
In Sweden, reporting is voluntary for most common felled game, and the number of voluntary reports can vary between hunting teams, HMP, and counties. In 2020, an improved harvest estimation model was developed, which reduced the sensitivity to low reporting. However, there were still some limits to the model, where large, credible intervals were estimated. Therefore, additional variables were considered as the model does not take into account landcover among HMPs, [2] the impact of climate, [4] wildlife accidents, and [4] geographical distribution, creating the covariate model. This study aimed to compare the new model with the covariate model to see if covariates would reduce the large, credible intervals. Two hypothesis tests were performed: evaluation of predictive performance using leave one out cross-validation and evaluation of the 95 % credible interval. Evaluation of predictive performance was performed by examining the difference in expected log-pointwise predictive density (ELPD) and standard error (SE) for each species and model. The results show that the covariates model ranked highest for all ten species, and out of the ten species, six had an (ELPD) difference of two to four, which implies that there is support that the covariate model will be a better predictor for other datasets than this one. At least one covariate had an apparent effect on harvest estimates for nine out of ten species. Finally, the covariate model reduced the large uncertainties, which was an improvement of the null model, indicating that harvest estimates can be improved by taking covariates into account.

Full text
Abstract:
This study is an archaeological examination of the prehistoric hunting of moa, a family (Dinornithidae) of now extinct large flightless birds that inhabited New Zealand. The analysis employs a detailed butchering pattern analysis for the moa remains and combines it with a lithic usewear microchipping and polish analysis. The usewear analysis examines two lithic materials, porcellanite and silcrete. The criteria used to distinguish worked material in the usewear study. The general patterns of moa exploitation and butchering are defined in a faunal analysis of moa remains from sites from throughout New Zealand. Hunting strategies are examined in a case study of the Clutha River area of southern New Zealand, by interpreting the results of the butchering pattern analysis in combination with the usewear analysis results and some of the general aspects of site type and location. It is concluded that moa were hunted by an individual hunting strategy, probably with wooden spears. Hunting was done from habitation sites, not from temporary camps established from base camps. Hunting did not specialise in any one particular moa species. In addition to meat, bone marrow was also particular moa species. In addition to meat, bone marrow was also extracted and eaten. No evidence of meat preservation was found. The results correspond well with expectations based on analogies from traditional hunting of other large birds and in east Polynesia, suggesting the methodology is reliable for studying hunting and could be applied elsewhere. The study also includes an examination of bone anatomical landmarks as a means to identifying moa species. The hypothesised significance of the variation in these traits is used to make suggestions about possible moa behaviour. It is suggested that Megalapteryx didinus was more awkward than the other moa, that Anomalopteryx didiformis may have had a diet more similar to that of the kiwi than to that of the other moa, and that Dinornis species may have balanced their centre of gravity differently from other moa. Based on the manner in which moa were hunted, it is proposed that moa did not congregate in large flocks.

Full text
Abstract:
The trophy hunting of African leopards Panthera pardus pardus may generate revenue to help foster their conservation. However, leopards are sensitive to hunting and populations decline if overharvested. The practice therefore requires careful management grounded in robust estimates of population density/status. Camera-trap surveys are commonly used to establish leopard numbers, and may guide harvest quotas. However, such surveys are limited over wide spatial scales and many African governments lack resources to implement them. In this thesis I explore the potential use of a harvest composition scheme applied to puma Puma concolor in North America, to monitor leopards. The method hinges on the susceptibility of different leopard cohorts to hunting and if this varies, then predictions can be made about harvest composition. Susceptibility is likely to be governed by space use, encounter rates with bait lures (a common method used to attract leopards to hunting hides) and hunter selectivity. Thus in this thesis I explore leopard susceptibility to these factors using a protected leopard population in northern Zululand, South Africa. In my first chapter I examine using scent lures in camera-trapping. Against a backdrop of a passive survey I show adult males, females and sub-adults are captured at similar rates compared to a passive survey using lures. The use of lures does not appear to violate closure assumptions or affect spatio-temporal patterning, but their use appears limited as density estimate precision is not improved. My second chapter examines ecological (likelihood of encountering a hunter) and anthropogenic (attractiveness to hunters) susceptibility of leopards to trophy hunting. I show that adult males are the most susceptible cohort to hunting (sub-adults least susceptible). I then take the incident rates from ecological and anthropogenic models and create a theoretical harvest composition using population parameters of protected leopards. My third data chapter departs from hunting susceptibility and examines determinants of leopard trophy package price across Africa. I show that factors such as trophy quality, outfitter leopard hunting reputation and hunt success have little impact on price determination. Instead, overall outfitter reputation and the number of charismatic species in a package are positively correlated with price. These results have important consequences on several sustainable leopard hunting schemes proposed in the literature.

Abstract:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, disabling disease of the elderly. It is uncommon in individuals under 45 years of age, and prevalence is higher in females than males. OA is characterised by focal cartilage loss accompanied by osteophytes, sclerosis and often some inflammatory response. A significant genetic component to OA has been demonstrated by twin-pair, sibling risk and segregation studies. Our group previously carried out a two-stage genome-wide linkage scan and identified six chromosomal regions as potentially harbouring OA susceptibility genes. The aim of this project was to examine three of these linkage regions, one on chromosome 4 and two on chromosome 16, in more detail in order to further localise and determine the identity of the OA susceptibility gene(s) within these regions. Initially the three regions were linkage mapped using a staged approach. Linkage mapping of the region on chromosome 4q identified a region showing evidence of linkage to female hip OA with a multipoint LOD (MLS) score of 3.1. For chromosome 16 linkage mapping identified two regions with MLS of 1.7 and 1.9 respectively. The first region was restricted to families with female siblings concordant for hip OA while the second is accounted for by families with affected female siblings. The ADAMTS3 gene was identified as a strong candidate gene within the linkage region on chromosome 4 as a result of its role in procollagen processing. SNPs within the gene were identified and typed in cohorts of cases and controls. There was no evidence for an association with any of these SNPs and OA disease. Within the first linkage region on chromosome 16 the IL4R gene was identified as a strong candidate gene as a result of its proposed role in the normal response of chondrocytes to mechanotransduction. Again SNPs within the gene were identified and typed. Four SNPs show evidence of association with OA and for three of these there is evidence for a relationship between genetic variation and evidence for linkage. It appears that there is a dosage effect with at least two copies of different variant alleles being necessary to increase OA disease susceptibility.

Additionally,there is little or no information regarding the implementation and theeffects, which vary depending on the organization. Threat hunting needed an unbiaseddefinition in accordance with employees in IT security. Consequently, theframeworks used when assessing threat hunting had to be objective. This thesispresents a definition of threat hunting, composed using impartial opinions. Furthermore,the thesis provides unique frameworks to assist when implementing andassessing threat hunting at an organization. This thesis has several areas of application:as a knowledge base for threat hunting, as the recommended practice forimplementing threat hunting and as groundwork for a more comprehensive evaluationof threat hunting capabilities. Ultimately, the thesis offers unprecedentednonpartisan information and recommendations on threat hunting.

Full text
Abstract:
Forty radio-collared cougars (Felis concolor) were monitored for 630 cougar months. Track searches were conducted and tracking information was gathered over a 20-month period. Vulnerability was estimated to be greatest for 0 to 6-month-old kittens. This age class is the most susceptible to starvation after being orphaned, or being killed by hounds when the hunter is unaware of their presence, since their tracks were found with their mother's tracks only 19 percent of the time. Tracks of 7 to 12-month old kittens were found with their mother's tracks 43 percent of the time. Relative road-crossing frequencies of seven classes of transients and resident adults were derived from sequential, aerial telemetry locations. Significant differences (P < 0.043) in crossing frequencies were found among these classes. A relative vulnerability index, based on road-crossing frequencies, was calculated for each class. Compared to an average vulnerability index of one for all classes, resident females without kittens, and those with 0 to 6-month, 7 to 12-month, and 13 to 18-month-old kittens, had relative vulnerability indices of 0 . 6, 0.5, 0.83, and 0.78, respectively. Transient females, resident males and transient males had indices of 0.93, 0.95, and 1.35, respectively. After two years of experimental hunts, where the average density of harvestable cougars (kittens and females accompanied by kittens excluded) 2 was 0.71/100 km, hunters found an average of 1.3 tracks per day and started their hounds on 1 in 3.8 of these tracks. Treeing a cougar required an average of 8.7 hunting days and covering 559 km of road during track searches. The level of experience of the hunter and his hounds appeared to be very important in determining hunting success. How the differential vulnerability between cougar classes may affect the composition of the hunter harvest was also discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
The close connection between humans and dogs in the prehistoric past, often with a focus on a hunting relationship, has long been proposed, yet has rarely been evaluated. This thesis investigates parallels in environment, culture, adaptation and dog mortuary phenomenon among three complex hunter-gatherer groups in the early Holocene. Although dog domestication appears to have occurred in the late Upper Palaeolithic, the first instances of intentional, individual dog burials are not seen until after the Pleistocene-Holocene Transition. These burials appear nearly simultaneously among culturally and geographically unrelated early Holocene complex hunter-gatherers in three distinct locations: the midsouth United States, northern Europe and eastern Japan; coinciding with the onset of significant postglacial warming that triggered dramatic environmental change throughout the northern temperate zone; specifically the establishment of temperate deciduous forests. Along with this new environment came new ungulate prey species, and with the new prey species important hunting adaptations by humans. Ethnozooarchaeological fieldwork conducted with modern hunters in the United States and Japan, along with additional ethnographic material confirms the use of hunting dogs in temperate deciduous forests as a preferred method which yields improved results, in contrast to boreal forests or open tundra, where dogs can be a detriment. In densely forested environments, prey species often rely on concealment, rather than flight, to escape predators and human hunters. Dogs give vital assistance to hunters in these conditions, performing superhuman tasks such as locating concealed prey, tracking wounded animals, and bringing them to bay. This thesis presents a previously unidentified link between the first worldwide occurrences of individual, intentional dog burials and changes in hunting environments and prey species brought about by early Holocene climate change.

Full text
Abstract:
Prior to 1999, scholarly works on bicameral parliamentary systems painted to the dominance of the British House of Commons over the legislative process and placed the House of Lords within the category of weaker second chambers. Yet despite manifesto commitments and massive parliamentary majorities in 1997 and 2001 the Labour government experienced extraordinary difficulty with the passage of its legislation on Lords reform and hunting. These difficulties raise some important questions concerning those particular cases, the nature of bicameral relations at Westminster and the impact of stage one Lords reform on the legislative process. Using documentary analysis and elite interviews this thesis investigates the nature of the government's difficulties; the possibility of connections between the two issues and how they might have affected the progress of each; the influence of such difficulties on other legislation. The thesis concludes that opposition from within the House of Lords and connections between Lords reform and hunting did add to the government's difficulties with both issues. However, the thesis identifies vacillation and interference by the Prime Minister as the main source of the difficulties, a factor that had important implications for the government's management of the legislative process, the cohesion of the PLP, and relationships between the two chambers. This thesis not only adds to our understanding of bicameralism in the United Kingdom but provides a platform for further study of other Westminster-type legislatures.

Abstract:
The process of massive star formation greatly influences its surroundings through their outflows, vast UV output and shocks from their supernova death. They form at great distances from the Earth, enshrouded by dust and gas and have relatively short lifetimes. Astrophysical masers which form in these environments may act as locators of the star forming regions. The aim of this thesis is to study massive star formation using masers to probe these regions. The three main masers used in this thesis are the Class I and Class II methanol masers and the 6035 MHz ex-OH maser. The methanol masers are divided into two groups, Class I and Class II, based on their distance from a central source. The Class I masers are separated 1-2 pc from a central source, the central source is the star forming region. The Class II masers are associated close to a star forming source. They are often associated with a 6035 MHz ex-OH maser. The 6035 MHz ex-OH masers are less common than the 6668 MHz Class I methanol masers. They are often found at sites of the 6668 MHz Class I masers and 1665/7 MHz OH masers. This thesis presents two maser surveys, the Methanol Multibeam (MMB) survey and the Class I survey. The MMB survey is currently surveying the entire Galactic Plane for the 6668 MHz Class II methanol maser and the 6035 MHz ex-OH maser. Over 60\% of the survey in the Southern hemisphere is now complete using the Parkes telescope. Over 900 6668 MHz Class I methanol masers and 110 6035 MHz ex-OH masers have been detected, with all of these masers pinpoint the location of newly forming high mass stars. Follow up observations to determine the precise locations of the 6668 MHz methanol and 6035 MHz ex-OH masers are currently underway. The first ever unbiased Class I survey has observed 1 sq degree of the Galactic Plane for the 44 GHz Class I methanol masers using the Mopra telescope in Australia. The 44 GHz Class II methanol masers are hypothesised to be associated with the outflows of high mass stellar objects. The Class I survey has detected 25 44 GHz methanol masers, with 23 being new detections. A smaller survey for 36 GHz Class I masers was also conducted using the Mopra telescope centered on the region with the highest population of 44 GHz Class I masers.

Full text
Abstract:
The moral imperatives of hunting have long been associated with masculinity. In Britain's age of High Imperialism, hunting assumed greater importance as a 'right of passage' necessary for personal assertion and imperial stability. For proponents, killing wildlife for sport was a 'natural' process which illustrated the ethnocentric and cultural superiority of British upper class men over various "others". This 'pre-eminence' manifested itself through 'male' institutions including elite education, church, army and hunting clubs and found wider expression through hunting books and museums. Dissidents from this pleasing masculinity railed at the celebration of hunting as 'character' training, in particular, the 'objectification' of animals for 'sport'. The ubiquity of the hunting image in the age of High Imperialism, however, was evidence of hunting's popularity as a 'maker of men' despite the concerns of humanitarians.

Includes bibliographical references (leaf 86).
The Synchronous Hysteresis Motor has an inherent instability when it is used to drive a gyroscope wheel. The motor ideally should spin at a constant angular velocity, but it instead sporadically oscillates about synchronous speed. This phenomenon is known as 'hunting'. This problem produces current ripples at the motor's electrical terminals and induces noise on the sensors that monitor gyro activity. This thesis examines the cause of hunting by deriving the motor's torque characteristics from first principles. It also derives a scheme for suppressing hunting by monitoring the motor's current as an indicator of drag angle and using it to modulate the motor's drive frequency. Explanation of the circuit that successfully implements this scheme is included and lab results are shown to verify the working theory.

Maclagan, K. "Application and modification of combinatorial domain hunting." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2009. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/18563/.

Full text
Abstract:
Combinatorial Domain Hunting (CDH) is a recently introduced technology that addresses the problem of obtaining solubly expressed protein domains, or more correctly polypeptide truncates, from a larger target. CDH relies upon enzymatic fragmentation of a template gene, non-directional cloning of these fragments into a set of bespoke expression vectors, and screening of the resulting library of clones for the expression of soluble, affinity-tagged, protein fragments. Prior to the work described in this thesis the CDH concept had only been described in outline. The thesis describes various aspects of the application of CDH to a model target, incorporating modifications to the CDH pipeline that were adopted on the basis of this application, as well as development of an extension to the CDH concept that introduces the potential to screen for soluble expression of high-affinity protein-protein complexes. CDH was applied to Hsp90, a well-characterised molecular chaperone with predicted modular structure. Following fragmentation of the Hsp90 cDNA, a library of 15,000 clones was produced and 11,500 colonies were screened for expression of soluble Hsp90 truncates, resulting in 107 preliminary hits, of which seven were duplicates. Assessment of a subset of these hits indicated a significant potential for soluble protein aggregates to survive the affinity purification/ filtration stage of CDH. Implementation of an additional centrifugation step, although initially at some cost to the overall timescale of a CDH screen, was shown to reduce the number of putative false-positive, soluble protein aggregates identified (by 45% in the case of Hsp90, resulting in 55 unique hits). The advantage derived from this modification is that fewer preliminary hits would be taken forward for biochemical and structural validation. The original CDH concept invoked the use of NMR spectroscopy for the assessment of truncate foldedness. In the context of the real world application of CDH to Hsp90, it was found that such assessment was inefficient in terms of the amount of material required per preliminary hit. The thesis describes the application of differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF, also known as ‘Thermofluor’) analysis to the collection of Hsp90 CDH hits, demonstrating significant efficiency savings in the assessment of foldedness, most dramatically in that much smaller amounts of protein were required than for NMR. For the Hsp90 screen, DSF analysis indicated that four out of the 41 (14 of the 55 did not express protein) preliminary CDH hits corresponded to folded truncates (validated by 1D 1H NMR). The 41 hits were also characterised by size exclusion chromatography, where 12 eluted mainly in the void volume, and 11 others with greater than 40% in the void volume, possibly indicating that the centrifugation step applied at small scale, does not reliably eliminate those truncates with the potential to self-associate at a preparative scale. A CDH screen, including the modifications derived in the Hsp90 example, was applied to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis histidine kinase DosS. 52,000 colonies were screened of a 100,000 clone library which resulted in 23 preliminary hits. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that one of the hits covered the putative tandem histidine kinase and histidine kinase acceptor domains. The thesis describes biochemical and biophysical validation of the function and foldedness of this DosS truncate, and enumerates initial attempts at crystallisation and NMR analysis. For a given protein target, identification of folded domains may require the presence of an obligate partner chain: with this in mind, this thesis introduces a novel adaptation of the CDH paradigm, dubbed 2C-CDH, in which the fragment library of one partner protein isolated with one affinity tag, is screened on the basis of immunodetection of an orthogonal tag appended to the other partner. The design and implementation of an appropriate two plasmid orthogonal expression-and detection system is described. A proof-of-principle application of the 2C-CDH concept is provided, using the complex formed between Hsp90 and Cdc37 proteins. Two screens were performed, using a known soluble fragment of either Hsp90 or Cdc37 (as bait) screened against a fragment library (as prey) derived from Cdc37 and Hsp90 respectively. In each case the 2C-CDH procedure identified one or more truncates in the prey library with amino acid sequence boundaries consistent with the known characteristics of the of the Hsp90-Cdc37 structure. Moreover, for each hit, size exclusion chromatography analysis validated maintenance of a well-behaved 1:1 complex at preparative scale. This thesis concludes with a commentary upon the CDH concept in the context of related current and possible future paradigms for soluble protein expression.

Abstract:
The fundamental preoccupations of this research align with emergent literature on neoliberal conservation—understood as an amalgamation of ideology and techniques informed by the premise that natures can only be 'saved' through their submission to capital and its subsequent revaluation in capitalist terms. This literature shift attention "from how nature is used in and through the expansion of capitalism to how nature is conserved in and through the expansion of capitalism" (Büscher et al. 2012:6), thus opening up a new set of anthropological interrogations. To investigate this phenomenon this work centers on the use of sport trophy-hunting as a neoliberal conservation strategy in the Americas, where recent changes in policy and practice mark the creation of wildlife enclosures in the hands of private capital. Despite the fact that these neoliberal reforms in conservation have the capacity "of repositioning community resources within a new system of meaning, altering the material realities of social relations within the community, modifying human-ecological interactions, and introducing new forms of governance" (MacDonald 2005), little systematic research and social analysis has been conducted exploring this phenomenon. Responding to this gap, this doctoral dissertation examines the social effects of market-oriented conservation through extended ethnographic research among the Comcaac (Seri), a former hunting and gathering society living along the coast of the Gulf of California in the Sonoran desert of Northern Mexico. The research documents the bighorn sheep sport trophy-hunting program taking place in Comcaac territory, in order to better understand the processes contributing to the production and performance of indigenous environmental expertise; in turn, this work produces new insights into how morality, individualism and collective effort are affected by neoliberal logics involved in the management of wildlife, while documenting concomitant local renegotiation of power, knowledge and wealth.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the explanatory power of social capital theory as an aid to understanding disadvantaged socio-economic circumstances prevailing in many contemporary remote Aboriginal communities. The term ‘social capital’ refers to social resources that fuel human cooperation such as relationships, civic engagement, support and norms of reciprocity and trust. There are several strands of ‘social capital’ theory, but it is Putnam’s take that is my main focus. His ‘Bowling Alone: America’s Declining Social Capital’ (1995) analysed the state of community relatedness in the United States. By contrast my thesis explores the extent to which a social capital framework might be useful in seeking to understand the nature of connections between Aboriginal people in remote Australia. How is social capital formed and eroded in this vastly different context? The contemporary relevance of the thesis is that it is occurring against the backdrop of widespread concern about wellbeing and cohesion in remote communities. By seeking to explain the phenomena through a social capital analytic lens, the thesis provides a relational perspective on Aboriginal advantage and disadvantage. The focus is on the quality and nature of relationships. The significance of social capital theory is that it purports to account for “why some societies or groups work better than others, despite having comparable economic or material resources” (Cox & Caldwell, 2000: 58). It is the development of an understanding of remote Aboriginal community disadvantage through the prism of a social capital theoretical framework that is this study's original contribution to knowledge. While the concept is not new, its application in this context is. The thesis occupies contentious intellectual territory because ‘social capital’ is a ‘white western’ concept that may have little cross-cultural applicability or resonance. Yet despite limitations, it is nevertheless argued the concept provides useful analytical insights into the functioning of remote Aboriginal communities. A perspective informed by theorising about social capital, at least as Robert Putnam understands that term, might guide strategies that make for ‘stronger’ (thriving and prosperous) communities

Abstract:
In 2005, the North Carolina General Assembly and North Carolina Governor Mike Easley requested that the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) coordinate a study to investigate issues related to hunting on Sunday in North Carolina. In particular, NCWRC was most interested in identifying stakeholders and their views on hunting on Sunday, and estimating the potential impacts of hunting on Sunday on hunter recruitment and retention. I developed a 12-page questionnaire that was sent to a random sample of 2,400 licensed resident hunters in North Carolina. The questionnaire was used to assess their views and opinions about hunting on Sunday and to estimate the potential impacts of hunting on Sunday on hunting participation. The final response rate was 41.6%. The issue of hunting on Sunday in North Carolina was strongly polarized: 38% of respondents strongly supported hunting on Sunday and 39% strongly opposed. Older hunters and those who frequently attended church or another place of worship were most opposed to hunting on Sunday. Although many respondents originally voiced support, many of these same individuals opposed hunting on Sunday if some limitations were imposed. The exact effect on hunter recruitment was not determined by this research effort; however, I found evidence that the opportunity to hunt on Sunday may have some positive impact on hunting participation. Hunters who previously had taken an adult friend, family member, or youth hunting in North Carolina indicated they would do so again if presented with an opportunity to hunt on Sunday. However, the opportunity to hunt on Sunday had little influence on persuading hunters who had not previously taken an adult friend, family member, or youth hunting on Sunday to do so. Most respondents (60%) indicated they would hunt at least the same number of days or more days (37%) if hunting on Sunday was legalized. Specifically, respondents indicated that they would hunt an average of 7 additional days that did not involve an overnight stay and take an average of 1.9 more overnight hunting trips if hunting on Sunday was legalized. Thus, legalization of hunting on Sunday likely would increase hunting participation, but would have unknown effects on hunter recruitment and retention. In addition to assessing opinions about hunting on Sunday, I explored North Carolina hunters' satisfaction with hunting experiences, motivations for hunting, and constraints to hunting participation. Overall, North Carolina hunters were satisfied with both their hunting experiences during the 2005-2006 season and the previous 5 seasons. Satisfaction with hunting experiences in North Carolina was derived from many factors (e.g., see wildlife, spend time in the field/woods). Hunters in North Carolina identified a diverse array of motivations for hunting such as to experience natural surroundings, to enjoy the outdoors, and to enjoy solitude. North Carolina hunters responding to my survey identified constraints associated with time, not enough game animals, and confusing hunting regulations as major impediments to their hunting activity in North Carolina. The question of whether removing the current ban on hunting on Sunday in North Carolina would alleviate time constraints remains unanswered. Permitting hunting on Sunday may provide an additional day of hunting opportunities for North Carolina hunters; it also would provide a means to increase satisfaction with and motivations for hunting in North Carolina for some hunters. This research effort provided valuable information about hunting and hunters in North Carolina. Careful consideration of this information is needed to encourage hunter recruitment and retention, and to combat further declines in hunting participation; however, this information should be integrated with biologically-based management goals and objectives.

Abstract:
Montana\'s big game species were at one time brought to near extinction through exploitation and the myth of superabundance. Today they are seen as one of the state\'s most prized possessions, with millions of dollars spent annually on their sustainability through the management efforts of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Funding for Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks is provided through a hunter and manufacturer sponsored excise equipment tax provided through the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Program, or as it is more commonly referred to, the Pittman-Robertson Act, as well as state hunter license and permit fees. Conservation efforts provided through these funds are directly and indirectly responsible for increased harvest numbers and hunter participation, as well as the expansion of lands conserved to sustain these wildlife populations. By providing a healthy and diverse variety of game species, the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is able to continually attract hunters to the state. This in turn, increases hunter expenditures that fund additional conservation efforts, while at the same time contributing to local economies via food, lodging, equipment, and transportation expenditures. The objective of this study was to determine the relationships between hunter-supported expenditures by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, hunter participation rates, species\' harvest rates, and hunters\' economic impact on communities. It is hypothesized that there will exist a positive relationship and feedback the between amount of hunter-related expenditures, hunter participation and harvest rates, and hunters\' economic impact on local communities. The importance of this study was to develop a methodology by which these relationships can be determined, and hence, used elsewhere, as well as to demonstrate to regional hunting and non-hunting community, the importance and value of hunting.

Abstract:
It is widely acknowledged that the organised wildlife and hunting industry in South Africa contributes significantly to the country’s economy, as well as to the effective management and conservation of wildlife on privately owned land. Despite this, hunting has come under increasing attack by anti-hunting proponents who wish to bring a ban on hunting. A number of broad shifts across society at large and lobbying against hunting by anti-hunting proponents have given rise to legitimate concerns regarding the social acceptability of hunting. To maintain the social legitimacy of hunting, it is imperative to put strategies in place to actively broaden the base of public acceptance of hunting. Towards this aim, this study is an empirical investigation of the causal determinants of the public’s attitudes towards hunting and of the implications it holds for improving the social legitimacy of hunting. The study commenced by building a sound theoretical foundation from the available literature on the measurement of attitudes, the structure and formation of attitudes, the instrumental and experiential aspects of attitudes, attitudinal ambivalence, the psychology of strong attitudes, as well as the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance. Thereafter, the study turned to identify an adequate and empirically valid research approach for investigating attitudes and its causal determinants. A popular attitude theory in social psychology, namely the theory of reasoned action, was identified as a suitable conceptual framework for conducting this study. According to the reasoned action model, the salient behavioural beliefs people associate with a particular behaviour form the informational foundation (or cognitive foundation) on which their attitudes towards the behaviour are based. More specifically, the model suggests that peoples’ overall attitude towards a behaviour is a function of their perceived probability that a behaviour will produce certain outcomes (belief strength), as well as the degree to which they judge the perceived outcomes of the behaviour as positive or negative (outcome evaluation). The methodological design of the study’s empirical component was strictly based on the standard procedures prescribed by the theory of reasoned action. Two consecutive and methodologically interrelated surveys were conducted amongst members of the public to collect the study’s primary data. The main salient behavioural beliefs on which different attitudes towards hunting are based were identified and further investigated. The results were analysed from the perspective of the theory of reasoned action and a clear understanding of the causal determinants of different attitudes towards hunting were attained. Based on the findings of the study, a number of conclusions and recommendations were made that may guide the development of future strategies to improve the social legitimacy of hunting. Amongst other things, it was suggested that public education programmes should be developed to address the public’s misconceptions of hunting; that public relation campaigns be undertaken to improve the public’s negative image of hunters; and that hunter education programmes be put in place to make hunters aware of the role they could play at community level to improve the social acceptability of hunting. Detailed guidelines regarding the contents of such education programmes and public relation campaigns were provided.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the contributions made by the author to the IPHAS survey and its follow-up. The IPHAS survey is currently observing the northern Galactic Plane in Ha, r', and i', and the work presented here focuses primarily on the effort to construct a new, large and well-defined sample of cataclysmic variables (CVs) from the survey. I first investigate the properties of the known population ofCVs in IPHAS. A selection algorithm has been developed to pick out objects from the IPHAS photometry that display a clear Her excess. This has led to the recovery of::: 70 per cent of the known CVs as Ha emitters, roughly independent ofCV type and orbital period. The selection algorithm has been employed further to create a catalogue of Her excess objects, which is presented and analysed. The resulting catalogue contains 4869 Ha emitters. I present and analyse initial follow-up observations that are relevant to the construction ofa new CV sample. A series of long-slit spectroscopic observing runs has so far provided identification spectra of several hundred Ha emitters. A classification algorithm has been developed and used to assign spectral types to these sources. The majority are found to be early-type stars, whereas interacting binaries including CVs and symbiotic stars, make up a relatively small percentage of the emission line ~tar population. The ID spectroscopy taken so far has allowed the discovery of 11 new CV candidates. Additional time-resolved observations for 3 of these confirm their CV classification and provide estimates of their orbital periods. Overall, this thesis shows that IPHAS is capable of discovering a significant sample of CVs that should be largely free of the selection effects that have plagued previous surveys. Once a significant population has been discovered, it will be possible to test theories of binary evolution and CV population synthesis models.

Abstract:
My dissertation is a study of paintings with hunting subjects made in France between the 1730s and 1750s, concomitantly with the escalation of Louis XV's (r. 1715- 1774) obsession with hunting. It concentrates on up-close depictions of dying and dead animals by prominent artists such as Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686-1755), François Boucher (1703-1770), and Jean-François De Troy (1679-1752). Particular attention is paid to how the moments that surrounded the kill of the prey by royal hunters--the hallali and the curée--were conjured up by these painters, and how their canvases were integrated into interiors, particularly those dedicated to the king's after-hunt gatherings. These painted drops of blood, hanging tongues, dislocated bodies, and tortured carcasses complicate the lack of seriousness and alleged playfulness of the discursively and ideologically determined category of the Rococo.

For centuries, humans killed the grey wolf (canis lupis) out of fear and misunderstanding. By the 1950s, the species had been hunted to brink of extinction within the continental United States save for a small remainder in Minnesota's heavily forested northern wilderness. Environmental studies in the 1960s demonstrated that wolves were valuable to local ecosystems, leading to a scientific and cultural reassessment. In 1974, the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) shielded wolves from further slaughter, allowing the species to rebound and spread across the Great Lakes region. The decision to protect wolves bred resentment amongst some farmers who complained that the predators were a threat to their livelihoods. In late 2011, the government removed the grey wolf from the ESA, citing its full recovery. Just days later in January 2012, Minnesota and Wisconsin both authorized public wolf hunts to bring their respective populations back down to manageable levels. Game officials maintained that these "harvests" - the first in each state's history - were a necessary step for effective wolf management. Critics, however, protested that killing a recently threatened species in such fashion might jeopardize its long-term survival. Wolves invoke passionate sentiments that obscure rational discussion; objective analysis does not always prevail. In Minnesota, there was valid evidence for a cull. With 3,000 wolves in the forest and advanced monitoring technology available to researchers, reducing that number by 400 wolves was a calculated risk worth taking. This fact did not, however, deter conservation groups and advocacy organizations from mounting a concerted protest over the summer of 2012. In Wisconsin, the rationale for a hunt was thinner. Politicians insisted upon aggressive measures that many scientists felt would pose a legitimate danger to the Badger State's fragile contingent of 800 wolves. Input from the state's leading biologists was largely ignored during the legislative process. This is a tale of two ostensibly similar, yet ultimately divergent, wolf hunts: one that took science into account and one that shoved it aside. Both carry equally important implications for the future of grey wolf management in the Midwest.

Abstract:
Hunting by horticulturalists in the Southwest examines the impact of horticulture on hunting behavior and animal exploitation among late Archaic and Hohokam Indians in south-central Arizona. A model incorporating ecological and ethnographic data discusses the impact horticulturalists had on the environment and the ways in which that impact affected other aspects of subsistence, specifically hunting behavior. The model is then evaluated using a regional faunal data base from Archaic and Hohokam sites. Five major patterns supporting the model are observed: (1) a reliance on small and medium-sized mammals as sources of animal protein, (2) the use of rodents as food, (3) the differential reliance on cottontails (Sylvilagus) and jack rabbits (Lepus) at Hohokam farmsteads versus villages, (4) the relative decrease in the exploitation of cottontails versus jack rabbits as a Hohokam site was occupied through time, and (5) the recovery contexts of artiodactyl remains, which indicate their ritual and tool use as well as for food.

Abstract:
I examine Clovis subsistence strategies within the broader context of predatory adaptations in cross-cultural and cross-species frameworks. To derive implications for labor activities of Clovis men and women, I also address the relationship between subsistence variation and the organization of labor for a sample of recent hunting and gathering populations. I begin by placing humans within a broad zoological context. Examining variation in hunter-gatherer subsistence in relation to predatory-prey relationships reveals how humans are both subject to and alter the constraints governing other terrestrial carnivorous species. It is concluded that human populations often utilize an inordinately broad size range of prey relative to other predators. I then explore human prey selection within an optimal foraging framework with respect to variance and risk. Based on predicted relationships between prey encounter rate and body size, I develop a model for differentiating between large-game hunting specialization and encounter-based hunting. The model is first tested with ethnographically documented prey inventories for a sample of recent subsistence hunting populations, and is found to reveal distinct faunal signatures typical of each strategy. The model is then applied to the Clovis faunal record using faunal data from 33 Clovis sites. I find strong support for the hypothesis that Clovis hunter-gatherers used a large-game focused hunting strategy, although some use of small game is apparent. Furthermore, I employ data from modern hunter-gatherers to support the theoretical plausibility of specialized large mammal hunting across North America during the Late Pleistocene. Finally, I examine how subsistence choices affect the gendered division of labor in ethnographically documented populations. I examine the relationship between male and female subsistence efforts in terms of resource procurement, time allocation, and task differentiation. It is established that as male dietary contribution increases, female plant gathering focuses on high post-encounter return/low risk resources, the amount of time women spend procuring food decreases, and female participation in non-subsistence activities increases. An interpretation of Clovis labor organization is developed that emphasizes female labor in the production of material goods and the procurement of low risk resources.
