Abstract:
In Northern Canada, Indigenous mixed economies persist alongside and in resistance to capital accumulation. The day-to-day sites and processes of colonial struggle, and, in particular, their gendered nature, are too often ignored. This piece takes an anti-colonial materialist approach to the multiple labours of Indigenous women in Canada, arguing that their social-reproductive labour is a primary site of struggle: a site of violent capitalist accumulation and persistent decolonising resistance. In making this argument, this piece draws on social-reproduction feminism, and anti-racist, Indigenous and anti-colonial feminism, asking what it means to take an anti-colonial approach to social-reproduction feminism. It presents an expanded conception of production that encompasses not just the dialectic of capitalist production and reproduction, but also non-capitalist, subsistence production. An anti-colonial approach to social-reproduction feminism challenges one to think through questions of non-capitalist labour and the way different forms of labour persist relationally, reproducing and resisting capitalist modes of production.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to analyze the forms of exploitation of child labour in the fisheries sector and the resistance of workers to the exploitation they experience. The problem of this research is in the form of exploitation against child labour and resistance against child labour against exploitation experienced. To approach this problem, Collins' theory of exploitation and conflict is used as a reference. The data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews and documentation and analyzed qualitatively. Determining the informants using purposive sampling by the classification of the informants, namely the main informant of the employer and the informant who supports the family of child workers. The results showed that the forms of exploitation of child labour in the fisheries sector were violations of children's rights, namely labour exploitation (nipattolo-tolo), physical exploitation (nipattuju tedong), and mental exploitation (coto tena jenena). The form of child labour resistance to exploitation is carried out individually and in groups through. Exploitation that labours against child labour is not taken for granted, resistance to exploitation occurs in line with the experience and understanding of child labour towards the conditions of exploitation experienced.

Abstract:
This essay explores the social-psychic toll of prolonged austerity on academic librarians and the range of strategies that have (or could) serve as tools of resistance. Using a combination of theoretical analysis and autoethnography, I examine the emotional impact of bottomless and invisible labour imposed by austerity and the ways institutions use emotional coercion to promote self-surveillance, meta-work, and hyper-productivity. Following this analysis, I discuss the ways that oppressive institutional cultures silence dissent and absorb common resistance tactics advocated by educators. Finally, I introduce several examples of performance-based resistance projects and explore how creative, personal, and absurd forms of protest might be used to critique and transform the culture of work and our affective experience as knowledge workers in the neoliberal academy.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis contributes to an understanding of the labour process, management techniques, and the possibilities for resistance in a call centre. The research uses ethnographic methods to focus on a workplace inspired by the different moments of workers inquiry – from Marx, the Johnston-Forest Tendency, Socialisme ou Barbarie, to the Operaismo – and a sociological approach like Burawoy's (1979) extended case method. The study combines a theoretical analysis of the development and organisation of call centres with a detailed ethnographic account. It focuses on the specific features of the labour process and the application of Taylorist principles, developing Taylor and Bain's (1999:109) research on call centre work as creating the experience of ‘an assembly-line in the head.’ It discusses the implications of the shift towards the exploitation of emotional and affective labour. The research considers the role of management and supervision in the call centre, detailing the electronic surveillance, “buzz sessions”, and motivational methods. The analysis re-applies the metaphor that Fernie and Metcalf (1997:3) used to conceptualise call centres as an ‘electronic panopticon’, through a return to Bentham (1995) and Foucault (1991). However, the central argument of this thesis is the ability of workers to resist in call centres, rather than the victory of management. The research uncovers a ‘repertoire of resistance strategies’ similar to those identified by Mulholland (2004) in an Irish call centre: ‘Slammin’ Scammin’ Smokin’ an’ Leavin’.’ These moments of resistance are conceptualised as expressions of the refusal of work, a key theme developed in the thesis. The problem of worker retention is therefore understood as the culmination of these different moments. The analysis of the case study at Trade Union Cover, a private company that sells insurance to trade union members, provides an important insight into the shift towards service unionism and its implications for workers and organisation.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to examine the practices directed to the flexibilisation of the labor brought together with the means of neoliberal structuring and the trade union crisis appeared as an outcome of these in terms of the Tekel Workers&rsquo
resistance in Ankara. The theoretical frame of this study is created in the content of the discussions that starting from the Marxist approach on trade unions and the critical view within this approach focus on the reasons of the crisis of the trade unions as a result of the applications of the neoliberal ideological structuring that appeared by the crisis of the accumulated capital during the mid-70&rsquo
s. Over this perspective, the analysis concentrates on the one hand employment models&rdquo
being multi-layered and insecure and on the other, the fragmentation of the class and therefore the representation crisis of the trade unions that are the outcomes of the commodification of the labor by the deregulation, privatization and flexibilisation policies applied in the process of neoliberal hegemony. In this context, the resistance of the Tekel workers that continued non-stop for 78 days is argued basing on the assumption that the process which forces the more flexible, insecure working conditions without any attachment to the trade unions via the application of the neoliberal political apparatuses becomes the common platform/destiny of all the parts of society constituted by different identity structures.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is a study of assigned male convict labour in rural Van Diemen’s Land in the period 1820-40. Throughout this period agriculture and pastoralism were centxal to the colonial economy, and this sector was the largest private employer of convict labour, yet there has been no prior sustained investigation of the nature and experience of rural convict employment in Van Diemen’s Land. Research has involved use of records of convict transportation, the records of the convict department, colonial court records, and the correspondence of the colonial secretary’s office. Extensive use has also been made of the colonial press, published contemporary accounts, and unpublished journals of colonists. The thesis begins with a discussion of two oppositional representations of rural convict labour: John Glover’s painting ‘My Harvest Home’, and the ballad ‘Van Diemen’s Land’. These representations demonstrate the polarised debate on the nature of convict labour. Rural convicts have been largely neglected in the recent historiography of convict transportation; this thesis argues that this neglect is unwarranted, and that rural convict labour resists reductionist understanding of convict labour. Chapter 1 examines farming in the colony, demonstrating the importance and vitality of this sector of the economy. Chapters 2-4 discuss convict assignment, management, and convict responses. It is argued that assignment effectively placed those with experience of farm work with rural employers. Convicts’ skills are seen to have been relevant and useful to the rural economy. The management of convict servants operated both formally at the level of the Convict Department regulations and the magistrates bench, and informally on individual properties. Informal management best utilised incentives rather than force. Thus convicts were able to negotiate the authority of their employers through various means, including resistance. Chapters 5-7 discuss the convict experience of rural labour. Material conditions of diet, housing and clothing are examined in chapter 5. Convict recreational culture is investigated in chapter 6; it is argued that convicts created an important site of autonomy in this form. The intimate lives of convict men are discussed in chapter 7. Often seen as brutal and brutalising, it is argued that these relationships were important and meaningful sites in male convict experience.

ROMENS, ANNE-IRIS. "Coping with essentialism and stratifications: Migrant women with tertiary education in local labour markets of France and Italy." Doctoral thesis, Università di Padova, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/10281/381391.

Full text
Abstract:
Migrant women with tertiary education are significantly concerned with over-education, de-skilling and underemployment, as they primarily work in jobs that are not in line with their studies. The dissertation argues that analysing essentialism is crucial to understanding the stratifications of the labour market and comprehending why migrant women continue to be confined in jobs with low social recognition, despite their degrees. The thesis puts into light that representations based on coloniality, global inequalities and also on conservative and eroticised models of femininity, affect the selection process and finally limit the access that these women have to employment. To explore the influence of essentialism in the assessment of skills, the thesis uses the concept of embodiness. It stresses that recruiters tend to value skills, according to who embodies them, and depending on how candidates are perceived in terms of class, gender, and racialisation. Assessment of skills appears to involve a high level of scrutiny over female candidates' body and habitus, leading to class selectivity and eroticisation of migrant women. Moreover, the dissertation explores how migrant women with tertiary education are coping, resisting, and eventually challenging essentialism and stratifications. It analyses how they react to their position in the local labour markets, whether they feel downgraded or they have accessed satisfying jobs. In addition, motherhood emerged from fieldwork as a crucial factor that influences migrant women's trajectories. As a result, the dissertation analyses how the interplay of migration, welfare, care, and gender orders conditions access to employment, leading to frequent de-skilling The local labour markets that were selected in which to conduct fieldwork are those of Veneto, in Italy and Alsace, in France. These two contexts are characterised by different models of care, and of addressing migrants' otherness. The social phenomenon is studied from a variety of perspectives. The dissertation crosses the gazes of migrant women with tertiary education, born in Sub-Saharan African and European non-EU countries, with those of recruiters and social workers. Overall, 52 narrative interviews were conducted and analysed using thematic analysis and biographical policy evaluation. In addition, the dissertation is one of the first studies that uses statistical data to highlight the differential access that migrants with tertiary education have to employment in Italy and France, according to their country of birth and gender. By studying the challenges faced by migrant women with tertiary education, the dissertation highlights how access to resources and employment is gendered, classed, and racialised and how essentialist processes influence it. It argues that understanding the mechanisms that contribute to reproducing stratifications enables us to design paths towards more equal access to employment and resources.

Banerjee, Supurna. "Nurturing resistance : agency and activism of women tea plantation workers in a gendered space." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/9837.

Abstract:
This thesis offers an analysis of labour relations and social space in the tea gardens of north-east India. Existing literature provides us with an understanding of how the plantations operate as economic spaces, but in so doing they treat workers as undifferentiated economic beings defined only by their class identity. Space, however, has to be animated to be meaningful. Through participant observation and semi-structured interviews I explore the plantations as actual lived spaces where people are bound by and resist constraints. Multiple intersecting identities play out within these social spaces making them ethnic, religious, and caste spaces in addition to being gendered. Focusing on these intersectional identities, I demonstrate how region, ethnicity, party affiliation, caste, religion are played out and how they are invoked at certain points by the women workers. The articulations of identity not only determine a sense of belonging or non-belonging to a space but also how one belongs. Within the physical sites of the plantation, I examine how the women perceive these spaces and how, in moving between ideas of home/world, public/private, these very binaries are negated. The strict sexual division of labour primarily in the workplace but also in the household and villages inscribe the physical sites with certain gendered meanings and performances. The women negotiate these in their everyday lives and shape these spaces even as they are shaped by them. Conditioned by gender norms and the resultant hierarchy their narratives can be read as stories of deprivation and misery, but looking deeper their agency can also be uncovered. The lives of my research participants show how the social spaces within which they operate are not static; in spite of spatial controls there are the many minute acts of resistance through which the women work the existing restraints to their least disadvantage. Focussing on the minute acts of insubordination, deceit and even confrontation I elucidate how the women made use of the relations of subordination to pave spaces of resistance and sometimes even of autonomy. Furthermore, not all acts of agency are minute or unspectacular. I map instances of highly visible, volatile and aggressive protests apparently challenging the accepted social codes within which they function. In expressing themselves, the women use the available political repertories of protest in forms of strikes, blockades, street plays, etc. Through these instances of activism they appropriate and become visible in the public realm and challenge the accepted ways in which social spaces and norms play out. Despite their articulate nature, these protests usually seek to address immediate demands and do not escalate into social movements. Also while volatile in action, the protests seek legitimacy within the accepted gender codes that operate in their everyday life in the plantation.

Abstract:
This thesis adds to the expanding literature on temporary migration by exploring the temporality of marriage and co-ethnic migration. It uses a combination of ethnography, in-depth interviews and analysis of laws and policies to examine the mobility of Vietnamese and Korean-Chinese (joseonjok) women to South Korea on what this thesis calls ‘temporary ethno-kinship visa programs’. It pays attention to the relationship between cross-border families, the formation and crossing of the border, and migrant women’s intimate labour. This thesis analyses the multiplicity of borders, particularly the multi-step process of crossing the ‘spatio-temporal’ border. Interrogating a temporal element of the border helps us understand new ways in which contemporary borders are spatialised and how the state shapes, reinforces and maintains contemporary borders. Such ‘bordering practices’ include the state placing a temporal limit on one’s visa as part of the system of multiple borders. The borders are no longer just territorial but individualised and dependent on bodily practices and relationships migrants maintain with the citizens and the destination state. Migrant women in South Korea constitute an embodiment of ‘borderlands’ with shifting boundaries drawn according to the relationships they form with South Korean citizens and, ultimately, the state. As a result, Vietnamese marriage migrants (who enter South Korea on the basis of their marriage to South Korean men), and Korean-Chinese migrants (who are granted entry through ‘real’ and ‘imagined’ ethno-kinship relations) experience distinct configurations of borderscape. Migrant women in this study bargain with the state using various forms of intimate labour to cross the border and claim membership of the state. The market functions as a site where the commodification of intimate labour offered by migrant women intersects with the ‘financialisation’ of opportunities to cross the border. This encounter allows migrant women to ‘sell’ their intimate labour and ‘buy’ services to cross the border. Through ethnography and in-depth interviews, this thesis examines how migrants creatively utilise market forces in response to restrictive immigration measures, while bearing the risks and insecurities of the informal market.

Hochreuther, Eva-Maria. "Resistance under repression. The political mobilisation of female migrant domestic workers in Lebanon." Thesis, Malmö universitet, Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS), 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mau:diva-22868.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to understand how the political mobilisation of migrant domestic workers (MDWs) employed in Lebanon started and continued. It also tries to comprehend how some of them could found a politically active collective of MDWs, the Alliance of Domestic Workers in Lebanon (Alliance), by analysing what factors enabled and restrained the open political activism of MDWs from their first steps as activists until now. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with two founding members and seven international and Lebanese organisations, the MDWs´ political mobilisation is chronologically recaptured. Extending Lahusen´s definition of political mobilisation, the thesis critically reflects on Johnston´s concept for protest to evolve in repressive states. The analysis shows that the women activists are left in a lawless position and refer to the free spaces of Lebanese and international non-profit organisations, where their activism begins. These organisations help the women to build up their protest capital, enabling them to start their own group, the Alliance. Within their own group they organise themselves not only against the injustice they experience as MDWs but also emancipate themselves from their dependency on the NGOs. The findings approve that though international and Lebanese organisations have played a crucial part in successfully mobilising the women, the MDWs´ experience of lack of influence inside these free spaces, shapes the group´s actions, collective identity and course. Their political mobilisation can be seen as a long-term, organic process, in which knowledge, collective identity, collective action and experience are tightly interwoven and are the motor behind the members´ activism.

Abstract:
In December 2021, an online questionnaire survey was conducted at 5 selected branches of the Labor Office in the Czech Republic focused on the analysis of psychosocial risks at work. Based on the findings from this survey, the problematic areas were defined and specific intervention measures were applied based on their evaluation. These measures started in September 2022. They were focused on two levels: building psychological resistance (resilience) provided in the form of online seminars: "Supporting positive coping mechanisms and increasing resistance to stress", "Sleep hygiene", "Active psycho hygiene and coping with demanding clients" and special seminar for managers "Psychological support and basic intervention for your subordinates". From December 2022 to March 2023, group and individual psychotherapy were conducted for a much smaller group of employees under the guidance of a psychotherapist.

Abstract:
Dry Building Mortars (DBM) are new in terms of building technology, and they sometimes substitute different kinds of concrete and mortar mixes. DBM have been successfully used in construction and their performance has been as efficient as the one of commercial mortar mixes, i.e. they boost labour efficiency, and bring down material consumption. They can be also kept in stock for a long time, and shipped with no compromise in quality. Today DBM are based on cementing components. And some famous mix mortars are based on gypsum, polymer, and some other types of cementing components which contain fine-dispersed additives of ground slag, fly ash, and raw sludge. These mix mortars are applied as smoothing, aligning, waterproof, and safety types of coverage. This article studies the possibility of involving slag cementing components in manufacturing DBM. Due to their high waterproof resistance in salt-affected water, these sorts of mixes may be used as protective coatings and plasters for concrete frames in corrosive medium. Slag Cementing Components (SCC) are hydraulic cementing agents, which harden both in water and in open air. They are produced by mixing electric-furnace slag or furnace clinkers with some solutions of alkaline metals (to trigger alkaline reaction), or by mixing together all these agents.

Abstract:
Despite its relevance, the construction industry has been facing the same problems for decades. The lack of skilled labour, workers with few opportunities for professional growth, recurrent delays and high turnover rates are sector’s well known and hard to solve problems. Although important in the context of lean thinking, the concept of multi-skill faces resistance due to the learning effect and uncertanties about productivity. Considering the aforementioned situation, this review aims to compile the main results of studies carried out on the effects of multi-skill, when applied to the civil construction reality, as well as to analyse parameters related to the papers in question. A total of twenty-three publications were found in a systematic bibliometric review. Results are partial and are part of a bigger research effort. It was observed that a multifunctional workforce benefits both employees and employers. A shortage of studies with real work environment results was discovered, with most of the papers focusing on computer models.

Abstract:
19th century British historians, while glorifying ancient Indian architecture, legitimized Imperialism by portraying a decline. To deny vitality of native architecture, it was essential to marginalize the prevailing masons and craftsmen – a strain that later enabled portrayal of architects as cognoscenti in the modern world. Now, following economic liberalization, rural India is witnessing a new hasty urbanization, compliant of Globalization. However, agrarian protests and tribal insurgencies evidence the resistance, evocative of that dislocation in the 19th century; the colonial legacy giving way to concerns of internal neo-colonialism.

Abstract:
The deconstruction of steel-concrete composite structures in buildings and the later separation of the materials is a labour- and cost intensive work. This is due to the fact, that the shear studs are welded on the steel beam, and a large amount of cutting work gets necessary. As a result, recycling is difficult and the potential for reusing entire elements is lost. The carbon footprint of composite structures could be decreased by the application of the principles of “design for deconstruction and reuse”. This paper presents a study with its respective laboratory experiments on demountable shear connectors that facilitate recyclability and even offer the potential for reusing elements in their entirety. In the Laboratory of Steel and Composite Structures of the University of Luxembourg 15 push-out tests have been carried out using different bolted connection systems suitable for multiple uses in order to verify their performance characteristics by means of shear strength, stiffness, slip capacity, ductility and ability of demounting. The investigated systems included pre-stressed and epoxy resin injection bolts, solid slabs and composite slabs with profiled decking. The results showed that the tested demountable shear connections could provide higher shear resistance than conventional shear connections in some cases. The connection failure happened in the bolts, while there was no or minor visible damage observed on the connected members. Most of the tested connections could fulfil the ductility requirement given by Eurocode 4. The application of epoxy resin in the hole clearance resulted in lower slip capacity. The outcome will provide an important basis for the calibration of the forthcoming enhancement and numerical simulation of the demountable shear connections. The failure behaviour, the observed damages and the resulting ability of the elements for later re-use are discussed in detail.

Full text
Abstract:
The 21st century has witnessed several transformations in international structure. The state-building process in the aftermath of the Iraq Invasion in 2003 was a cornerstone in the transformation of sovereignty as it implied the internationalized state form in the periphery of the capitalist international division of labor. However, the Western agenda of transforming the region and beyond with economic as well as military interventions faced a challenge from the Russia-China axis. These two countries became the focal point of resistance within the capitalist system, forcing Western capitalism to address this challenge. During the last decade, Russia was involved in military conflicts in Eurasian territories, where formerly Western powers had the upper hand. On the other hand, China became a hub for an alternative source of capital to Western institutions such as the IMF and WB, with its highly centralized and condensed financial power. These two countries offered an alternative to the Western type of articulation to the international markets, emphasizing the ‘old’ understanding of sovereignty. This study firstly aims to examine the transformation (thus, internationalization) of sovereignty as an agenda of Western capitalism by looking at Western powers’ policies during and after the Iraq invasion. Then, it will scrutinize the challenge to this transformation by the Eurasian axis with its persistence on the ‘national’ sovereignty of the peripheral countries they are exporting capital and establishing new political and military affairs with. Lastly, the study concludes with the possible prospects of these two rival sovereignty claims and the consequences they evoke.

Abstract An advanced nickel alloy with a specially designed chemistry to provide maximum oxidation resistance at the most extreme temperatures and controlled precipates to maximize creep strength. A leading vacuum furnace supplier has selected this alloy as a suitable material for bar baskets in their most demanding application, 2300 F and pressure quenching. Baskets fabricated from all other alloys tested lasted between 5 and 10 cycles before requiring extensive, labor intensive straightening. The new alloy baskets have been used for over 30 cycles, with minimal distortion. This extended life eliminates several straightening cycles and the high labor costs associated with manual straightening and reassembly.

Abstract:
Abstract The overwhelming manufacturing process with robotic arm has replaced human labors in handling and manufacturing work-pieces in factories. In these years, higher accuracy and repeatability are required for robotic manipulators to perform processes such as welding, deburring and grinding in factories. In these path-following processes, the manipulator’s end-effector often encounter position error caused by its vibrating structures. Therefore, the quality of machining accuracy and surface roughness becomes unstable and unsatisfied. For the purpose of avoiding the vibrations to occur in the robotic manipulator, this study aims to design a control method to reduce vibrations which is divided into two parts, namely (1) dynamic modeling the robot arm by applying modified mass-spring-damper model to each joints and links of the robot arm, and (2) realizing the control of the robot arm’s vibration resistance with predicated dynamics to compensate for the undesired dynamics, respectively. Through the proposed model, the response of each joints in different postures and different payloads applied at the end effector can be fully analyzed and the vibrations can be predicted and compensated. Results with the proposed vibration resistance control method indicate improvement of the model robot arm’s dynamic position error.

Abstract:
The results of research into development of engineering approaches to environmental update of the GTN-16 16 MW gas-pumping unit combustor are presented. The built-in “disc” combustor of the GTN-16 is noted for having a small length and very low hydraulic resistances. The multi-burner low-NOx combustor design was developed in a test rig. The “lean” fuel/air premix combustion was adopted as the basis for the design. The proposed environmental update of the GTN-16 combustor does not bring about any changes in the most costly material-intensive and labour-consuming components of the combustor, viz. casing, frame, liners. No changes were also made in the automatic control system. It is noteworthy that a similar approach is appropriate for the “Turbomotorny Zavod” (Ekaterinburg, Russia) GTN-25 type 25 MW unit.

Integrated Approach to Evaluating Inherited Predictors of Resistance to Pulmonary Hypertension Syndrome (Ascites) in Fast Growing Broiler Chickens. United States Department of Agriculture, December 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2000.7575287.bard.

Abstract:
Background PHS (pulmonary hypertension syndrome, ascites syndrome) is a serious cause of loss in the broiler industry, and is a prime example of an undesirable side effect of successful genetic development that may be deleteriously manifested by factors in the environment of growing broilers. Basically, continuous and pinpointed selection for rapid growth in broilers has led to higher oxygen demand and consequently to more frequent manifestation of an inherent potential cardiopulmonary incapability to sufficiently oxygenate the arterial blood. The multifaceted causes and modifiers of PHS make research into finding solutions to the syndrome a complex and multi threaded challenge. This research used several directions to better understand the development of PHS and to probe possible means of achieving a goal of monitoring and increasing resistance to the syndrome. Research Objectives (1) To evaluate the growth dynamics of individuals within breeding stocks and their correlation with individual susceptibility or resistance to PHS; (2) To compile data on diagnostic indices found in this work to be predictive for PHS, during exposure to experimental protocols known to trigger PHS; (3) To conduct detailed physiological evaluations of cardiopulmonary function in broilers; (4) To compile data on growth dynamics and other diagnostic indices in existing lines selected for susceptibility or resistance to PHS; (5) To integrate growth dynamics and other diagnostic data within appropriate statistical procedures to provide geneticists with predictive indices that characterize resistance or susceptibility to PHS. Revisions In the first year, the US team acquired the costly Peckode weigh platform / individual bird I.D. system that was to provide the continuous (several times each day), automated weighing of birds, for a comprehensive monitoring of growth dynamics. However, data generated were found to be inaccurate and irreproducible, so making its use implausible. Henceforth, weighing was manual, this highly labor intensive work precluding some of the original objectives of using such a strategy of growth dynamics in selection procedures involving thousands of birds. Major conclusions, solutions, achievements 1. Healthy broilers were found to have greater oscillations in growth velocity and acceleration than PHS susceptible birds. This proved the scientific validity of our original hypothesis that such differences occur. 2. Growth rate in the first week is higher in PHS-susceptible than in PHS-resistant chicks. Artificial neural network accurately distinguished differences between the two groups based on growth patterns in this period. 3. In the US, the unilateral pulmonary occlusion technique was used in collaboration with a major broiler breeding company to create a commercial broiler line that is highly resistant to PHS induced by fast growth and low ambient temperatures. 4. In Israel, lines were obtained by genetic selection on PHS mortality after cold exposure in a dam-line population comprising of 85 sire families. The wide range of PHS incidence per family (0-50%), high heritability (about 0.6), and the results in cold challenged progeny, suggested a highly effective and relatively easy means for selection for PHS resistance 5. The best minimally-invasive diagnostic indices for prediction of PHS resistance were found to be oximetry, hematocrit values, heart rate and electrocardiographic (ECG) lead II waves. Some differences in results were found between the US and Israeli teams, probably reflecting genetic differences in the broiler strains used in the two countries. For instance the US team found the S wave amplitude to predict PHS susceptibility well, whereas the Israeli team found the P wave amplitude to be a better valid predictor. 6. Comprehensive physiological studies further increased knowledge on the development of PHS cardiopulmonary characteristics of pre-ascitic birds, pulmonary arterial wedge pressures, hypotension/kidney response, pulmonary hemodynamic responses to vasoactive mediators were all examined in depth. Implications, scientific and agricultural Substantial progress has been made in understanding the genetic and environmental factors involved in PHS, and their interaction. The two teams each successfully developed different selection programs, by surgical means and by divergent selection under cold challenge. Monitoring of the progress and success of the programs was done be using the in-depth estimations that this research engendered on the reliability and value of non-invasive predictive parameters. These findings helped corroborate the validity of practical means to improve PHT resistance by research-based programs of selection.

Abstract:
This technical report aims to test the effectiveness of several non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies on wood utility poles to detect deterioration. The project will assess commercially available devices using sound velocity and drilling resistance methods for in-field measurements. The goal is to extend the lifetime of wood poles, prevent unexpected failure, and enhance their in-service life beyond the current 75-year expectation. Despite the benefits of wood poles, it is difficult to obtain reliable deterioration metrics on in-service poles, which can lead to premature decommissioning or pole failure. NDT methods have been developed to replace labor-intensive methods, but none have been largely adopted in common practice. Therefore, creating a database of validated data would expedite adoption. Integrating precise and efficient wood utility pole NDT can increase installation energy resiliency and facility sustainment in a fiscally responsible way, ensuring high standards of delivery of services.
