Abstract:
« Un mauvais sujet dont la commune seroit fort aise d’être débarrassée » : justice, crimes et relations sociales en Lorraine à l’époque révolutionnaire (1799) — La double affaire criminelle Gagneur et Varinot comprend la mutilation d’une victime, l’assassinat de trois autres et l’exécution des deux principaux coupables, mari et femme. Cette affaire a eu des échos nationaux et son souvenir est encore vif dans le milieu local, deux cents ans plus tard. Loin de se limiter au face-à-face entre les accusés et l’institution judiciaire, l’affaire Gagneur-Varinot voit l’intervention décisive d’une tierce partie, le milieu local, l’ensemble des villageois, dont l’action collective a été déterminante tout au long de l’affaire. Or ce qui ne serait pas étonnant au XVIe siècle l’est en 1799, alors qu’était censée s’établir une « nouvelle » justice, pensée en rupture avec les usages anciens. L’exceptionnelle affaire Gagneur-Varinot montre que l’élément essentiel du processus judiciaire restait l’interaction, le dialogue, entre la volonté des parties, les logiques de l’institution et la volonté du milieu local. Dans cette affaire, l’institution judiciaire a non seulement tenu compte des volontés du milieu local, mais elle a été, dans une large mesure, à son service, en traduisant en langage juridique les logiques d’exclusion mises en œuvre dans le village. Ainsi peut-on dire que la révolution judiciaire n’était pas encore faite.

This thesis presents a census of radio sources selected from the NRAO (National Radio Astronomy Observatory) VLA (Very Large Array) Sky Survey (NVSS) and Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS) catalogues which have also been observed in the first data release of the 6 degree Field Galaxy Survey (6dFGS), a galaxy redshift survey of the local universe. Radio detections were found for 4,506 galaxies in the 6dFGS near-infrared-selected primary sample, a radio detection rate of 16%. A further 1,196 radio sources were observed by 6dF which were missing from the 6dFGS primary sample either because their host galaxies were too blue in colour or they appeared stellar on optical plates. The full sample comprises the largest and most homogeneous set of spectra and redshifts of radio sources in the local universe ever obtained. Results from the study of these objects form an accurate benchmark from which their cosmic evolution may be understood. 6dF spectra of galaxies have been used to determine the physical cause of radio emission from each object as either star formation or an active galactic nucleus powered by a super-massive black hole. These two classes of radio source have been characterised via a determination of the local radio luminosity function at 1.4 GHz; plotting the variation in their space density with luminosity. The star-formation density of the universe at the present epoch has been determined, the value of which which turns out to be in excellent agreement with previously published values. Fractional luminosity functions have also been determined showing that more massive galaxies have higher star-formation rates and are more likely to host a radio-loud AGN. The large-scale structure of star-forming galaxies and radio-loud AGN in the local universe has been studied by determining their clustering properties via the two-point correlation function. Radio-loud AGN are found to cluster more strongly than star-forming galaxies confirming that these objects are biased tracers of the underlying matter distribution. Both star-forming galaxies and AGNs cluster similarly to the underlying host galaxy population in which they reside. This thesis also describes the 843 MHz SUMSS catalogue, made by fitting elliptical Gaussians to sources in images. The catalogue contains radio sources to a limiting peak brightness of 6 mJy/beam at declination less than -50 degrees and 10 mJy/beam at declination greater than -50 degrees. Image artefacts have been classified using a novel technique involving a decision tree, which correctly identifies and rejects spurious sources in over 96% of cases and has ensured the catalogue is more than 95% complete and 90% reliable over most of its flux density range.

Abstract:
The remarkable salinity difference between the upper Pacific and Atlantic Oceans is often explained through net export of water vapour across Central America. To investigate this mechanism a study of salinity signals in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean current system was made looking at responses to fresh water input from two sources (local versus remote - Atlantic Ocean) as well as a combination of the two. Statistical analyses (Empirical Orthogonal Functions, Single Value Decomposition and Wavelet analysis) were used to split the main sources of the atmospheric freshwater input into local and remote contributions and to quantify both contributions. The remote source was assumed to have been transported over Central America from the Atlantic Ocean as an atmospheric freshwater flux, whereas the local source originated in the Pacific Ocean itself. The analysis suggests that 74% of the total variance in precipitation over the tropical eastern Pacific is due to water vapour transport from the Atlantic. It also demonstrates strong influence of ENSO events, with maximum correlation at a two months time lag. During La Ni�a periods the precipitation variance is more closely related to water vapour transport across Central America (the remote source), while during El Ni�o periods it is more closely related to the water vapour transport by Southerly winds along the west coast of South America (the local source). The current and temperature fields provided by the Modular Ocean Model (version 2) were used to study the changes in the salinity field when freshwater was added to or removed from the model. ECMWF ERA-40 data taken from the ECMWF data server was used to determine the atmospheric flux of freshwater at the ocean surface, in the form of evaporation minus precipitation (E-P). The Mixed Layer Depth (MLD) computed from temperature and salinity fields determines to what depth the salinity's dilution/concentration takes place for every grid point. Each MLD was calculated from the results of the previous time step, and the water column was considered well mixed from the surface to this depth. The statistical relationships were used to reconstruct the precipitation over the tropical eastern Pacific. A numerical ocean model, which uses currents and temperature from a global ocean model and is forced by precipitation, was used to study the ocean's response to either the remote or the local source acting in isolation. Through time lag correlation analysis of the sea surface salinity anomalies produced by the variation in the reconstructed precipitation fields, it is found that the anomaly signals of salinity propagate westward along the Equator at a rate of approximately 0.25 m.s-1 (6.1 degrees per month).

Abstract:
La région arctique se réchauffe plus rapidement que toute autre région de la planète en raison de l’effet des gaz à effet de serre, notamment le CO2, et des forçeurs climatiques à courte durée de vie d’origine anthropique, comme le carbone suie (BC). Au cours des 20 à 30 dernières années, les émissions anthropiques lointain au-dessus des régions de latitude moyenne ont diminué. Les émissions anthropiques dans l’Arctique y contribuent également et pourraient augmenter à l’avenir et influencer davantage la pollution atmosphérique et le climat de l’Arctique. Les émissions naturelles, telles que les aérosols d’origine marine, pourraient également augmenter en raison du changement climatique en cours. Cependant, les processus et les sources qui influencent les aérosols et les gaz traces dans l’Arctique sont mal quantifiés, surtout en hiver. Dans cette thèse, des simulations quasi-hémisphériques et régionales sont réalisées à l’aide du modèle Weather Research Forecast, couplé à la chimie (WRF-Chem). Le modèle est utilisé pour étudier la composition atmosphérique sur la région Arctique et lors de deux campagnes de terrain, l’une au nord de l’Alaska à Barrow, Utqiagvik en janvier et février 2014 et la seconde à Fairbanks, au centre de l’Alaska en novembre et décembre 2019 lors de la campagne française pré-ALPACA (Alaskan Layered Pollution And Chemical Analysis). Tout d’abord, les aérosols inorganiques et les aérosols de sel marin (SSA) modélisés sont évalués sur des sites arctiques pendant l’hiver. Ensuite, le modèle est amélioré en ce qui concerne les traitements des SSA, après évaluation par rapport aux données de la campagne de Barrow, et leur contribution à la charge totale d’aérosols dans la région arctique est quantifiée. Une série d’analyses de sensibilité est effectuée sur le nord de l’Alaska, révélant des incertitudes du modèle dans les processus influençant les SSA dans l’Arctique, tels que la présence de glace de mer et de chenaux ouverts. Ensuite, une analyse de sensibilité est effectuée pour étudier les processus et les sources qui influencent le BC hivernale dans l’ensemble de l’Arctique et au nord de l’Alaska, en se concentrant sur les traitements de dépôt et les émissions régionales. Des variations de la sensibilité du modèle aux dépôts humides et secs sont constatées dans tout l’Arctique et pourraient expliquer les biais du modèle. Dans le nord de l’Alaska, les émissions régionales provenant de l’extraction pétrolière contribuent de manière importante au BC observée. Les résultats du modèle sont également sensibles aux schémas de paramétrisation de la couche limite. Troisièmement, la version améliorée du modèle est utilisée pour étudier la contribution des sources régionales et locales à la pollution atmosphérique dans la région de Fairbanks pendant l’hiver 2019. En utilisant des émissions actualisées, le modèle donne de meilleurs résultats pour l’hiver 2019 que pour l’hiver 2014, lorsqu’on le compare aux observations effectuées sur des sites de fond en Alaska. Les sous-estimations des aérosols modélisés de BC et de sulfate s’expliquent en partie par le manque d’émissions anthropiques locales et régionales. Dans le cas du sulfate , des mécanismes supplémentaires de formation d’aérosols secondaires dans des conditions sombres/froides doivent également être pris en compte
The Arctic region is warming faster than any other region on Earth due to the effect of greenhouse gases, notably CO2, and short-lived climate forcers of anthropogenic origin, such as black carbon (BC). Over the last 20-30 years, remote anthropogenic emissions over mid-latitude regions have been decreasing. Anthropogenic emissions within the Arctic are also contributing and might increase in the future and further affect Arctic air pollution and climate. Natural emissions, such as sea-spray aerosols, also might increase due to on-going climate change. However, the processes and sources influencing Arctic aerosols and trace gases are poorly quantified, especially in wintertime. In this thesis, quasi-hemispheric and regional simulations are performed using the Weather Research Forecast model, coupled with chemistry (WRF-Chem). The model is used to investigate atmospheric composition over the wider Arctic and during two field campaigns, one in northern Alaska at Barrow, Utqiagvik in January and February 2014 and the second in Fairbanks, central Alaska in November and December 2019 during the French pre-ALPACA (Alaskan Layered Pollution And Chemical Analysis) campaign. First, modelled inorganic and sea-spray (SSA) aerosols are evaluated at remote Arctic sites during wintertime. Then, the model is improved with respect to SSA treatments, following evaluation against Barrow field campaign data, and their contribution to the total aerosol burden within the Arctic region is quantified. A series of sensitivity runs are performed over northern Alaska, revealing model uncertainties in processes influencing SSA in the Arctic such as the presence of sea-ice and open leads. Second, a sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate processes and sources influencing wintertime BC over the wider Arctic and over northern Alaska, with a focus on removal treatments and regional emissions. Variations in model sensitivity to wet and dry deposition is found across the Arctic and could explain model biases. Over northern Alaska, regional emissions from petroleum extraction are found to make an important contribution to observed BC. Model results are also sensitive to planetary boundary layer parameterisation schemes. Third, the improved version of the model is used to investigate the contribution of regional and local sources on air pollution in the Fairbanks area in winter 2019. Using up-to-date emissions, the model performs better in winter 2019 than in winter 2014, when compared to observations at background sites across Alaska. Underestimations in modelled BC and sulphate aerosols can be partly explained by lacking local and regional anthropogenic emissions. In the case of sulphate, additional secondary aerosol formation mechanisms under dark/cold conditions also need to be considered

Abstract:
Dust originating from dry lakes contributes harmful and toxic elements to downwind urban areas and mountain snowpack that is compounded by local contaminant inputs from anthropogenic sources. To evaluate dust contributions to an urban area from regional playas, we sampled playa dust sources, urban dust deposition, and snow dust deposition in central Utah, USA. Samples were analyzed for grain size, mineralogy, and chemistry. Bulk mineralogy between playa, urban, and snow dust samples was similar, with silicate, carbonate, and evaporite minerals. Grain size distribution between fine playa, urban, and snow dust particles was also similar. Elements found at high concentrations in playas include Li, Na, Mg, Ca, Sr, and U, and most other elements were found at higher concentrations in urban and snow deposition samples. Particularly enriched elements in dust deposition include Cu, Se, Ag, Cd, Sb, and La, which are sourced from industrial activity, mining, and vehicular emissions and wear. Based on results from mass balance modeling, a large majority of the dust mass deposited on the Wasatch Front is from playa sources. Urban and playa dust sources largely remain constant seasonally, although spikes in playa-associated element concentrations during a particular seasonal sample may indicate frequent and/or more intense dust events. Among the highly environmentally available elements B, Ca, Sr, and U, are Cd and Se, both of which present toxicity concerns for humans and environments. This is the first study describing heavy metal contamination and sources in Utah, USA.

Abstract:
Economies aim to expand over time, which always implies the need for increased energy availability in support of this growth. Governments can use their procurement of energy generation to further enhance the benefit to their economies via certain policy tools. One such tool is Local Content Requirements (LCR) where procurement of a good dictates that a certain value has to be sourced locally. The argument for this tool is that spend is localised and manufacturing, as well as job creation, can be stimulated due to industry establishing in the host economy. However, this practice is distortionary in effect and it does not create a fair playing field for global trade. Furthermore, if the local content definition is weak, or open to manipulation, the goals of such a policy may not be achieved at all. This study looked into the local content requirements of South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) and measured the impact of this policy on the renewable energy sector in general. It was found that, in order to implement a policy such as local content, the host economy had to have certain pre-existing conditions in order to avoid any negative welfare effects. Due to SA not holding all supportive pre-conditions for supporting local content policy, the impact and effect of LCRs has not been optimal and it has not been found to be a sustainable mechanism to continue using into the future indefinitely. The pricing of renewable energy was also found to be higher due to local content and such pricing is passed on to the energy consumer. Therefore, the net welfare impact created for South Africa is diminished in exchange for the creation of jobs and manufacturing, but due to the unsustainability and potential manipulation of the system the country is not maximising the welfare potential from the REIPPPP as it should. It was found that SA renewable energy resources do exist and the logistics infrastructure is strong, providing good potential for investment into renewable energy projects. The demand created by the REIPPPP provided a good market, but there was uncertainty in the long term planning and stability. So, from a market perspective this could be further enhanced. Government had created a sufficient platform for investment, but areas of development such as clusters, R&D and skills training would create a better support environment for LCR policy and strict monitoring of this would also be required to prevent any manipulation. The use of LCRs increases project costs and risk, which is passed onto the energy consumers, but this could be reduced if local goods were more readily available at the right price and at the right quality and quantity. Focus on clusters would once again assist in this regard as independent power producers (IPPs) and engineering procurement and construction (EPC) entities would be able to source components and goods locally in a more cost-effective manner. As the LCRs currently stand in the REIPPPP, it would seem that South Africa is making renewable energy more expensive and although it is argued that this is done for the benefit of creating a new industry and jobs, these are not sustainable and so the current LCR policy will only create short term benefits.

Full text
Abstract:
The diffusion of the neoliberal Silicon Valley venture capital (“VC”) model seems to be another case of convergence on neoliberal orthodoxy as the spread of Silicon Valley replication ambitions is ubiquitous. But, when looking under the veneer of the Silicon Valley VC policy diffusion trend, I find that VC policy diffusion is not a story of “universal convergence.” Though more than 40 states deployed VC policies in an attempt to create local Silicon Valleys, the policies they implemented took different, and interventionist, forms. This thesis seeks explain why variance, rather than convergence, characterizes the diffusion of this clear, successful model. Diffusion scholarship has made initial attempts at theorizing why and how diffusion does not lead to complete convergence. This thesis contributes to this growing body of work by conceptualizing and investigating how bounded rationality drives incomplete convergence. To do this, the thesis extends Kurt Weyland’s work on cognitive biases to by testing how five economic management norms shape the Silicon Valley VC policy diffusion: (1) pre-existing norms guiding state intervention, (2) private sector financing norms, (3) preferences for supporting large or small companies, (4) international versus local company support preferences and (5) bank or capital market preferences. The five economic management norms are drawn on to develop East Asian comparative typologies (Nightwatch-man State, Private Sector Promoter, Financier and Director and Command Economy) to test the impact of the norms in specific cases. This thesis also tests state-of-the-art diffusion literature’s hypotheses about the sources of variance in the diffusion process, namely: the impact of multiple diffusion items, diffusion items’ levels of specificity and diffusion mechanisms. Empirically, this thesis provides a large-N dataset of forty-six countries' VC policies and four East Asian case study analyses (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam). The case studies reveal how, in the face of competitive pressures, three of the five economic management norms propelled policymakers to choose unique policy formula. As a result, this thesis concludes that Tip O’Neill’s presumption that “all politics is local” rings true in policy diffusion.

Abstract:
California local agencies raise the revenue to support high-quality transportation services and infrastructure from a patchwork of federal, state, and local sources. To assist policymakers and transportation experts as they explore options for creating a more sustainable funding system, this report presents an overview of the taxes and fees that currently generate revenue ultimately dedicated to paying for transportation at the sub-state—or “local”—level. The discussion covers federal and state as well as local sources. The report also traces the evolving contribution from each level of government for expenditures on California’s local streets and roads and public transit, looking back two decades. The report concludes with a discussion of options for increasing local transportation revenue

Abstract:
As the crisis of climate change looms, transportation policy in California continues to emphasize sustainability in land-use and transportation decisions. This report evaluates the implementation of two sustainability-focused policies (Senate Bill 375 and 743) by local governments and the current-state-of-the-practices by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in assisting them in California. The research focuses on local governments’ access and use of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and transportation data for achieving VMT and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction by land-use planning. The research also examines the role of MPOs in providing needed transportation data, training, and technical support to its local members to help them quantify VMT impacts of land-use plans and projects. Through surveys and interviews of 539 city and county governments and 18 MPOs in California, the research team analyzes current practices. Findings include that local governments utilize automobile data more frequently than alternative modes, and do not heavily rely on MPOs for obtaining transportation data. Local governments recognized the need for more transportation data and were particularly interested in publicly available sources. The MPOs reported that VMT/annual average daily traffic data and origin-destination matrix were most frequently requested. More sophisticated data such as travel-time matrix and mode-share scheme were considered useful by the MPOs, while requests were very low. Based on the results of the conducted surveys, interviews, and our analyses, we developed a transportation data guide for local governments that could help them access data for achieving VMT/GHG emission reduction via land-use planning. The guide has two parts, one for general plan update and any land-use plans along with SB 375 and the other for VMT analysis for project-level California Environmental Quality Act reviews. The guide includes several different approaches that can be chosen and tried by local governments depending on their resource level and geographic, social, and physical characteristics. These findings can facilitate the access and use of transportation data to aid in sustainable land-use planning for the betterment of local communities and the planet.

Abstract:
The FSA has a key role as the central competent authority in overseeing official food and feed controls undertaken by local authorities. This supports the delivery of the FSA’s mission, food you can trust, and helps ensure food is safe and what it says it is. The FSA seeks to work in partnership with local authorities to help them to deliver official food and feed controls. Local Authority (LA) Environmental Health (EH), Port Health and Trading Standards (TS) teams deliver official food and feed controls using a range of interventions as set out in the Food Law Code of Practice (FLCoP) and Feed Law Code of Practice (FeLCoP). They are instrumental to the delivery of the FSA mission, across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to ensure consumer confidence and protect public health. Evidence from professional bodies, LAs and wider sources suggests that LAs are experiencing significant issues around the recruitment and retention of suitably/ appropriately qualified and experienced officers.(footnote 1) The FSA commissioned Ipsos UK to carry out this initial phase of discovery research to understand more about the barriers and facilitators encountered by LAs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Delgado-Prieto, Lukas, Andrea Otero-Cortés, and Andrés Calderón. The Impact of Hard Discount Stores on Local Labor Markets: Evidence from Colombia. Banco de la República, April 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.32468/dtseru.326.

Full text
Abstract:
Hard discount stores (HDS) have changed the dynamics of the traditional retail sector by selling a basket of products at very low prices. This business model has gained significant market share in many countries, but little is known about its impact on the labor market. To fill this gap in the literature, in this paper we study the impact of the entry of hard discounters on local labor markets in Colombia. Making use of the staggered geographic expansion of major discount chains throughout of the main discount chains throughout the country as part of our empirical strategy and using information from different sources, such as administrative records on social security and the administrative records on social security and the GEIH household survey, we analyze the impact of these stores on labor formality and tax collection. Our results show that the arrival of HDS in a municipality increases local formal employment, especially in the retail trade, manufacturing and agriculture sectors. This suggests that there are significant spillover effects from retail to other economic sectors, as most of the goods sold by these stores are local products. As for the informal sector, increased competition between formal and informal traders has no statistical effect on informal employment. However, we do find a decline in labor income and earnings of informal retailers, suggesting that the margin of adjustment is not through lower employment but via lower earnings.
