Abstract:
This article gives an overview of the changes and developments in the travel industry and the way travel intermediaries like travel agents are responding to them. These changes include the deregulation of airlines and the advent of global distribution systems, the pressure from airlines for lower distribution costs, rapid and fundamental changes in technology and consumer preferences. The responses by travel agents include rapid integration and consolidation within the industry, the use of technology to streamline operations and expand market reach, and the review of traditional revenue models to make way for new approaches to revenue generation. In conclusion, some future scenarios for both leisure and corporate travel distribution are outlined.

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to determine the extent and prospects development of market potential of intermediary structures using an example of waterway transport enterprises. Economic liberalization, development of international economic activity, fragmentation and distantness of suppliers and buyers as preconditions for development of intermediary business structures are determined. The main factors hindering the development of intermediary activities are identified, for instance, imperfect regulatory framework, insufficient intermediary’s professionalism, insecurity from intermediaries, low level of responsibility to counterparties, general distrust. Transport companies, in particular, the waterway transport enterprises, are identified as intermediaries that have a significant influence for development of individual economic agents and economic systems. Prospects for the development of sustainable mutually beneficial economic relations or the mutual benefit, the availability of effective information flow, a clear definition of roles, rights and obligations of the involved parties, mutual coordination of behaviour of intermediary structures and clients defined as the main conditions for development of effective interaction of intermediary structures of water transport and clients. In the matter of further studies, attention should be paid to improvement of strengthening mechanism for the responsibility of intermediary structures and clients.

Abstract:
Firms exporting via foreign channel intermediaries, such as import agents or distributors, trade off a lack of control of the foreign channel for a low-risk market entry. Agency theory and transaction cost analysis suggest that a lack of control manifests itself in the foreign channel intermediary (FCI) having opportunities to behave in its own interests, rather than those of the exporter. Even so, management strategies that result in an alignment of the exporter's and FCI's goals are more likely to result in a perception of satisfaction in the relationship than if only one party's goals were met. Such management strategies should commence with an extensive precontractual screening step to find an intermediary whose goals are complementary to those of the exporter. After forming a trading relationship, an exporter can better coordinate the relationship by noncoercive monitoring of the exporter, and reduce the potential for opportunistic behavior and achieve a relationship that performs to the satisfaction to both parties. Greater monitoring is also likely to maintain a state of goal congruence between the parties. Conditions of environmental uncertainty may, however, create difficulties in precontractual screening by the exporter. A conceptual framework explaining the interaction between these variables has been presented, along with nine testable propositions and directions for future research.

Abstract:
Broadly speaking, a two-sided market is one in which 1) two sets of agents interact through an intermediary or platform, and 2) the decisions of each set of agents affects the outcomes of the other set of agents, typically through an externality. In the case of a video game system, the intermediary is the console producer—Sony in the scenario above—while the two sets of agents are consumers and video game developers. Neither consumers nor game developers will be interested in the PlayStation if the other party is not. Similarly, a successful payment card requires both consumer usage and merchant acceptance, where both consumers and merchants value each others' participation. Many more products fit into this paradigm, such as search engines, newspapers, and almost any advertiser-supported media (examples in which consumers typically negatively value, rather than positively value, the participation of the other side), as well as most software or title-based operating systems and consumer electronics. This paper seeks to explain what two-sided markets are and why they interest economists. I discuss the strategies that firms typically consider, and I highlight a number of puzzling outcomes from the perspective of the economics of two-sided markets. Finally, I consider the implications for public policy, particularly antitrust and regulatory policy, where there have been a number of recent issues involving media, computer operating systems, and payment cards.

Abstract:
This paper aims to understand under which circumstances the employment of the services of a financial intermediary is preferred to the decentralized capital market, as well as to provide some reasons why these types of financing coexist. In order to do that, it will be developed a model in which the free-rider effects lead to profit opportunities for an intermediary when asymmetric information between lenders and borrowers is present. The analysis is extended to a multi-period setting, where the focus is ascertain if, under repeated interaction between the agents, the availability of information on payment history of a borrower alters the previous results.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses the issues faced by the urban poor in their efforts to gain housing in developing countries. It argues that participation in housing is a matter of governance, in which the Public, Private and Popular sectors interact, and Intermediary Agents (IA) are necessary to act as catalysts in this interaction. In Indonesia there are two major problems related to housing the urban poor. The first problem concerns the quantity of housing. The second problem concerns the quality of housing, infrastructure and the environment. The government usually addresses these problems through a project-based, sectoral approach that lacks community engagement and accountability. Intermediary Agents have assisted many of these housing projects. However, little research has been undertaken on their role in these housing projects, as well as in the informal housing process. This thesis examines the role of IAs in the housing process of four different communities: one community in a government-sponsored project and three communities in informal settlements. The findings showed that the IAs, in engaging with the four different communities, played different roles and have different values. The involvement of IAs in the housing process elucidates a fundamental issue. On one hand, the IAs offer a mechanism to assist communities in providing and improving access to housing, infrastructure and services. However, there are limitations to their role: they have not the capacity to improve security of land tenure for the residents, which is essential for sustainable housing development. Where there has been some recognition of residents' rights to occupy the land, there have been substantial gains in community engagement in investing and improving their living environment. The thesis demonstrates the importance of community participation and acknowledges stakeholder engagement and community empowerment are crucial, roles that are often dependent on the involvement of IAs. It also extended the research on movement and development IAs demonstrating that both functions are complementary and important in housing delivery and that there are five roles that these IAs could play depending on the housing situation. The thesis offers new approaches to housing delivery and policy in Indonesia by involving urban poor communities, as the beneficiaries of housing for the poor programs. The qualitative method of the research has not been able to provide a generalised conclusion, but the lessons learned are important not only for providing housing for the urban poor in Indonesia but also possibly to addressing housing problems in other Asian countries. This thesis addresses four areas of intervention in transposing skills for a more democratic approach in housing the poor. Within these areas the research proposes new models of engagement for relevant stakeholders in public, popular and private sectors involving Intermediary Agents. These models are underpinned by a set of basic principles to guide IA engagement. Lastly the thesis proposes three models for IAs involvements in the housing process.

Abstract:
Este estudo visa a demonstrar a importância da conscientização da gerência intermediária, por meio da educação ambiental, para atuar como agente multiplicador na implantação de um sistema de gestão ambiental (SGA) em uma companhia de trens metropolitanos. Opta-se como método o estudo de caso, com análise documental, observação nos setores de trabalho e aplicação de questionário. A pesquisa foi realizada na Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM), no período compreendido entre março de 2004 e novembro de 2005, durante etapa preparatória para implantação do SGA. A CPTM é uma empresa do Governo do Estado de São Paulo e é responsável pela operação do serviço de transporte coletivo sobre trilhos na região metropolitana da cidade de São Paulo. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são 36 agentes multiplicadores (gerência intermediária), divididos em 18 supervisores de manutenção, 02 supervisores de materiais e 16 chefes gerais de estações. Recebem treinamento sobre conceitos de conscientização ambiental, que aborda a legislação ambiental vigente no País e os principais aspectos e impactos ambientais gerados na CPTM. Depois do treinamento, repassam os conhecimentos adquiridos para as suas equipes, nas quais exercem papel de liderança. Decorridos nove meses, aplica-se um questionário para a gerência intermediária, abordando, entre outros aspectos, as atitudes e ações tomadas frente a questões ambientais. Entre os resultados significativos, destacam-se: (1) a evolução da atuação sobre o uso racional da água em 25%, da energia elétrica em 22,2% e do uso do papel em 19,4%; (2) 86,1% dos agentes multiplicadores notificaram, após repassarem o treinamento de meio ambiente, entre média e bastante mudança de atitude de suas equipes em relação às questões ambientais. Os resultados demonstram a eficácia de utilizar a gerência intermediária como agente multiplicador na implantação do sistema de gestão ambiental na CPTM.
This study has as its aim to show the importance of the awareness of the intermediary managership, through environmental education, to actuate as multiplying agent in the implantation of a environmental management system(SGA) at a company of metropolitan trains. As a method, the option is the study of occurrence, with documental analisis, watching the work sections and questionnaire application. The survey was realized at São Paulos Company of Metropolitan Trains(CPTM), in the period of time between March 2004 and November 2005, during preparatory stage for the implantation of the SGA. The CPTM is a company of São Paulos States government, and it is responsible for the operation of the collective transportation above railroads in the metropolitan region of the city of São Paulo. The surveyed were 36 multiplying agents(intermediary managership), divided in 18 maintenance supervisors, 02 of equipment and 16 general heads of stations. They receive training about concepts of environmental awareness, that covers the environmental legislation that is in force in the country ant the most important environmental aspects and impacts generated at CPTM. After the training, they impart the acquired knowledges to their teams, in which they perform the role of leadership. Nine months later, it is applied a questionnaire for the intermediary managership to answer, that covers, among other aspects, the attitudes and actions to be taken in face of environmental issues. Among the most significative results, these stand out: (1) the improvement in the rational use of water in 25%, for the use of electrical energy in 22,2% and for the use of paper in 19,4%; (2) 86,1% of the multiplying agents notified, after imparting the training about the environment, between average and a lot of change in the attitude of their teams facing environmental issues. The results show the efficacy of using the intermediary managership as multiplying agent in the implantation of a environmental managership system at CPTM.

Abstract:
Les 10 000 agences de voyages en Allemagne et les 4 000 agences de voyages en France marquent le paysage touristique des deux pays et jouent un rôle important dans la distribution des prestations touristiques. Nous nous sommes interrogée sur la dynamique des agences de voyages en Allemagne et en France et sur les facteurs qui peuvent potentiellement expliquer leur dynamique hétérogène. La France se trouve dans une situation d'exception concernant la dynamique de ses agences de voyages : contrairement à beaucoup d'autres pays, le nombre d'agences de voyages françaises n'a pas diminué dans la dernière décennie. Ainsi, cela donne lieu à une remise en question de la relation fréquemment décrite comme causale entre la croissance de l'e-tourisme et la diminution du nombre d'agences de voyages. Au travers des méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives, nous avons comparé les facteurs juridiques, spatiaux, numériques et culturels qui influencent la structure des agences de voyages dans les deux pays. Cela nous a permis de montrer que les différences dans la législation affectent la structure des agences de voyages. Les agences de voyages françaises peuvent également jouer un rôle dans le tourisme réceptif de proximité (contrairement à ce qui se passe en Allemagne) de sorte que les facteurs spatiaux dans les deux pays présentent des différences. Notre étude indique aussi que l'e-tourisme entraîne une augmentation du nombre d'agences de voyages spécialisées. Enfin, il s'avère que les différences culturelles entre les clients des agences de voyages des deux pays sont plus faibles qu'attendues, aussi nous avons montré à travers l'étude d'exemples, que la presse touristique en particulier, crée des images erronées et participe à renforcer les stéréotypes de différenciation qui perdurent entre les deux pays
The 10,000 travel agencies in Germany and 4,000 travel agencies in France shape the tourist landscape and play an important role for the tourism industry in both countries. We analyse the development of the number of travel agencies in France and Germany in order to identify factors that may explain the heterogeneity of the two systems. In this context, France can be seen as an exception: in comparison to many other countries, the number of French travel agencies has not decreased during the last decade. Thus, the French system challenges the relationship (often considered a causal one) between the rise of e-tourism and the decrease of travel agencies. By means of quantitative and qualitative methods we compare legal, spatial, technological and cultural factors in the two countries. We show that differences in the legislation affect the travel agency structure. Furthermore, French travel agencies are more likely to have a receptive character which means that spatial factors of the two countries can be different. Our study also indicates that e-tourism leads to a growth of specialized travel agencies. Furthermore, cultural differences between travel agency customers are smaller than expected. We present examples which demonstrate that the tourism press conveys a misleading impression regarding this topic and reinforces stereotypes
Die 10 000 Reisebüros in Deutschland und 4 000 Reisebüros in Frankreich formen die touristische Landschaft und spielen eine wichtige Rolle im Vertrieb touristischer Dienstleistungen. Wir analysieren die Reisebürodynamik in Frankreich und Deutschland und identifizieren Faktoren, welche die heterogene Entwicklung der beiden Systeme erklären können. Frankreich eignet sich dabei als Vergleichsland, da die Anzahl französischer Reisebüros im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Ländern in der letzten Dekade nicht abgenommen hat. Das gibt Anlass, den häufig als kausal beschriebenen Zusammenhang zwischen der Zunahme des e-Tourismus und der Abnahme der Anzahl Reisebüros zu hinterfragen. Mit Hilfe von quantitativen und qualitativen Methoden vergleichen wir politisch-juristische, räumliche, technische und kulturelle Einflussfaktoren auf die Reisebürostruktur der beiden Länder. Wir zeigen auf, dass vor allem Unterschiede in der Gesetzeslage die Reisebürostruktur beeinflussen. Auβerdem nehmen französische Reisebüros in Teilen eine rezeptive Rolle ein, so dass die räumlichen Einflussfaktoren Unterschiede aufweisen. Unsere Studie weist darauf hin, dass der e-Tourismus eine Profilschärfung der Reisebüros in Richtung Spezialist bewirkt. Die kulturellen Unterschiede zwischen den Reisebürokunden der beiden. Länder sind kleiner als erwartet. Wir zeigen anhand von Beispielen, dass hier die touristische Fachpresse einen falschen Eindruck erweckt und Stereitypen zwischen den beiden Ländern verstärkt

Thesis (MTech (Biomedical Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015.
The increase in antibiotic resistant bacterial and fungal infections and the prevalence of oxidative stress-related conditions including cancers, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes has led to a consensus among pharmaceutical companies, clinicians and researchers that novel antimicrobial and antioxidant approaches are needed. These should be ideally efficacious, non toxic, easily accessible and affordable. There has been an increased interest in the identification of medicinal plants that possess both these bioactivities in an intrinsically related manner, allowing the simultaneous prevention of these ailments. Two South African herbal teas, rooibos and honeybush have been associated with a long history of medicinal use, hence their consideration for the current study. Numerous studies have been performed to evaluate the antioxidant activities of these South African herbal teas, however limited information about their antimicrobial activity currently exists.

Abstract:
We investigate the properties of a new Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) for computer-aided composition called IPCS (pronounced “ipp-siss”) the Intermediate Performance Composition System which generates expressive performance as part of its compositional process, and produces emergent melodic structures by a novel multi-agent process. IPCS consists of a small-medium size (2 to 16) collection of agents in which each agent can perform monophonic tunes and learn monophonic tunes from other agents. Each agent has an affective state (an “artificial emotional state”) which affects how it performs the music to other agents; e.g. a “happy” agent will perform “happier” music. The agent performance not only involves compositional changes to the music, but also adds smaller changes based on expressive music performance algorithms for humanization. Every agent is initialized with a tune containing the same single note, and over the interaction period longer tunes are built through agent interaction. Agents will only learn tunes performed to them by other agents if the affective content of the tune is similar to their current affective state; learned tunes are concatenated to the end of their current tune. Each agent in the society learns its own growing tune during the interaction process. Agents develop “opinions” of other agents that perform to them, depending on how much the performing agent can help their tunes grow. These opinions affect who they interact with in the future. IPCS is not a mapping from multi-agent interaction onto musical features, but actually utilizes music for the agents to communicate emotions. In spite of the lack of explicit melodic intelligence in IPCS, the system is shown to generate non-trivial melody pitch sequences as a result of emotional communication between agents. The melodies also have a hierarchical structure based on the emergent social structure of the multi-agent system and the hierarchical structure is a result of the emerging agent social interaction structure. The interactive humanizations produce micro-timing and loudness deviations in the melody which are shown to express its hierarchical generative structure without the need for structural analysis software frequently used in computer music humanization.

Abstract:
The socio-economic impact of HIV/AIDS on South Africa has resulted in lower gross domestic product, loss of skills in key sectors such as education, and increased health-care costs in providing access to treatment. Currently active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) such as stavudine (d4T) and azidothymidine (AZT) are imported from India and China, while formulation is conducted locally. A strategy was initiated between CSIR Biosciences and LIFElab under the auspices of Arvir Technologies to investigate the feasibility of local antiretroviral manufacture (d4T and AZT) or the manufacture of a key intermediate such as β- thymidine (dT). Several advantages associated with successful implementation of this strategy include ensuring a local supply of API’s, thus reducing reliance on procurement from foreign sources and reducing the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on providing cost effective access to treatment. A local supply source would also reduce the imports and thus aid the balance of payments deficit, and in addition to this, provide stimulus in the local pharmaceutical manufacturing industry (which has been in decline for several decades), resulting in increased skills and employment opportunities. This thesis describes the development of a superior chemo-enzymatic process for the production of β-thymidine (72 percent yield, prior to isolation), a key intermediate in the preparation of anti-retrovirals. Alternative processes based purely on chemical or bioprocess transformations to prepare either 5-methyluridine (5-MU) or dT suffer from several disadvantages: lengthy transformations due to protection/deprotection strategies, low selectivties and product yields (30 percent in the chemical process) and isolation of the product from dilute process streams requiring the use of large uneconomical reactors (bioprocesss). This contributes significantly to the cost of d4T and AZT manufacture. Our novel chemoenzymatic process comprises of a biocatalytic reaction for the production of 5-MU, with subsequent chemical transformation into dT (3 steps) negating and circumventing the limitations of the chemical or bioprocess routes. During the course of this project development, the β-thymidine selling price declined from 175 $/kg (2005) to 100 $/kg (2008). However, the process described in this work is still competitive based on the current β- thymidine selling price of 100 $/kg. The process economics show that with further optimization and increasing the isolated dT yield from 70 percent to 90 percent, the variable cost decreases from 136 $/kg to 110 $/kg. The increase in isolated yield is highly probable, based on solubility data of β-thymidine. The decrease in β-thymidine selling price and technological improvement in dT manufacture should translate into lower API manufacture costs and more cost effective access to treatment. Our novel biocatalytic process producing 5-MU uses a coupled enzyme system employing PNP, Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase and PyNP, Pyrimidine Nucleoside Phosphorylase. The overall transglycosylation reaction may be decoupled into the phosphorolysis reaction (PNP) and synthesis reaction (PyNP). During the phosphorolysis reaction, guanosine is converted into guanine and ribose-1-phosphate (R-1-P) in the presence of PNP enzyme. The reaction intermediate R-1-P is then coupled to thymine in the presence of PyNP enzyme during the synthesis reaction, producing 5-MU. The process was scaled up from lab-scale to bench-scale (10 - 20 L) and demonstrated to be robust and reproducible. This is evident from the average guanosine conversion (94.7 percent ± 2.03) and 5-MU yield (88.2 percent ± 6.21) and mole balance (104 percent ± 7.61) which were obtained at bench-scale (3 replicates, 10 L). The reaction was carried out at reactor productivities of between 7 – 11 g.L-1.h-1. The integration of the biocatalytic process and chemical processes was successfully carried out, showing that 5-MU produced using our novel biocatalytic process behaved similarly to commercially available 5- MU (ex. Dayang Chemicals, China). A PCT patent application (Ref. No. P44422PC01) on this chemo-enzymatic process has been filed and currently public private partnerships are being explored through Arvir Technologies to evaluate and validate this technology at one ton scale.

Abstract:
Ten years ago, the only contenders for the role of setting the fashion media agenda were mainstream fashion media magazines such as Vogue. With the evolution of blogging and the popularity of blog sites associated with magazine websites, a new contender was born: the fashion-themed blog. Now mainstream fashion media outlets and fashion bloggers sit side-by-side in the front row at designer fashion shows covering fashion news and trends. This study focused on ten elite fashion-themed blogs (fashion blogs) reporting on women’s fashion and ten mainstream fashion media websites during the summer 2016 fashion season looking retrospectively at the fashion forecast from October 2015 New York Fashion Week. The study examined how media outlets respond to fashion blogs and whether the blogs were used as sources by mainstream fashion media or vice a versa. This study has filled a research gap by conducting the first analysis examining fashion blogs through the lens of agenda setting. This research uncovered a media landscape in transition with fashion bloggers and mainstream fashion media communicating in a new and different way. Communicating fashion news is no longer a one-way street controlled by mainstream fashion media magazines. Instead it is a two-way street where each outlet uses the other and neither plays the role of lead agenda setter. This new synergy suggests the acceptance of fashion blogs as credible sources for fashion news and potential agenda setters for the fashion community. The relationship between bloggers and mainstream fashion media also creates excitement regarding trends because fashion bloggers have the ability to instantly comment and generate buzz on a trend when the mainstream fashion media are reporting on other issues or waiting for their magazines to be published. Out of the five trends studied, denim was the leading trend with 44 percent of the posts or articles discussing denim. With every trend, bloggers were present in the five earliest published posts or articles and continued to post on the trends throughout the study period. Style.com dominated the mainstream fashion media landscape, with 25 published articles. For fashion bloggers, Gal Meets Glam and Atlantic Pacific tied with 19 blog posts each. Over 57.6 percent of the total blog posts and blog articles linked to fashion designer websites where readers could purchase the trend being discussed. Fashion bloggers did not quote sources in their posts; 74 blog posts and articles recognized no sources at all. Understanding the new relationship between fashion bloggers and fashion magazine websites will help guide future reporters of fashion and fashion trends.

Abstract:
Abstract Classical biological control has been used as a management tool for invasive non-native plant species globally for over 200 years. There have been some very successful programmes, most notably on waterweeds, cacti and seed reduction in perennial trees. Seventy per cent of agents released have established in at least one instance, and 66% of the targeted invasive species have showed some level of control. However, some programmes have failed to meet expectations, for example on Lantana camara. The most commonly cited reasons for the failure of establishment or limited efficacy of biological control agents are unsuitable climatic conditions and genotype incompatibility. We propose that antagonistic biotic interactions play a significant role in the outcomes of weed biological control programmes. Induced plant defences (physical and chemical) that can be mounted rapidly by the invasive non-native plants can result in the reduction in agent populations after initial attack. Rapid induction of plant defences have been implicated in the lack of long-term establishment of the agent Falconia intermedia that showed great initial promise against the widespread invasive shrub L. camara. Host range expansion by native natural enemies onto biological control agents have also been shown to reduce population growth of agents. Finally, competition from indigenous plant species aids invasive alien plant population reduction in the presence of herbivory. All three factors have been poorly studied and further work is needed to better explain the outcomes of weed biological control programmes.

Abstract:
Abstract An environment to facilitate assembly process planning is proposed in this study. It includes a design support system with two agents supporting the assembly process. One is assembly design agent, and the other is a geometric design agent. The assembly design agent consists of three modules: the assembly sequence planning module, the assembly resource planning module, and the assembly simulation module. The assembly sequence-planning module takes the design information and generates an assembly sequence. This sequence is structured in a tree form, called the Constructive Assembly Tree (CAT). The leaf nodes of the tree correspond to the components of the product. The intermediate nodes are the assembly process operators, each of which characterizes a particular assembly operation, and their associated subassemblies. The resource module assigns the necessary tools, fixtures, supply bins and other resources to each of the process operators. The assembly simulation module traverses a CAT, extracts the necessary assembly information, and drives external physical simulation/animation system to perform virtual assembly simulation/animation process.
