Full textAbstract:
Couramment utilisées dans les laboratoires du monde entier, les techniques de cryoconservation issues des recherches en cryobiologie sont aujourd’hui devenues des outils incontournables dans plusieurs domaines tels que la biomédecine et l’industrie agroalimentaire. À partir de l’étude des écrits du biologiste anglais Alan Sterling Parkes (1900-1993), ce mémoire propose une reconstruction historique et épistémologique des avancées en cryobiologie. Pour ce faire, nous examinerons, dans un premier temps, les premières observations qui ont avivé l’intérêt pour l’étude des effets du froid sur les organismes vivants. Nous prendrons comme point de départ les découvertes fascinantes des naturalistes du XVIIe siècle. Nous verrons que leurs constats sont souvent étroitement associés à d’autres épisodes majeurs de l’histoire de la pensée biologique. Nous aborderons ensuite la période plus prolifique concernant les avancées en biologie aux basses températures. La découverte des propriétés protectrices du glycérol par l’équipe du National Institute of Medical Research (NIMR) au milieu du siècle dernier marque un point de rupture dans l’histoire de cette spécialité. Ce cryoprotecteur permet en effet d’élargir considérablement la gamme de tissus et de cellules pouvant être cryoconservés. Les développements orchestrés par les chercheurs anglais ont, à cet égard, contribué à l’émergence d’une nouvelle discipline scientifique : la cryobiologie. Enfin, nous étudierons dans une dernière section de ce mémoire le contexte sociohistorique dans lequel ont eu lieu les premières applications pratiques des méthodes de cryoconservation. Cela nous conduira à analyser, en particulier, certains enjeux soulevés par l’implantation de ces techniques dans le champ de la médecine reproductive. Ce mémoire aura non seulement permis de retracer certains évènements qui ont jalonné l’histoire de la cryobiologie au fil du temps, mais aussi de mettre en valeur les contributions fondatrices de Parkes et son équipe tout en montrant le rôle de premier plan qu’elles ont joué dans la structuration de cette discipline.With a panoply of applications ranging from therapeutics to everyday processes in the biomedical and agricultural industry, cryobiology-derived techniques have become essential to many present-day human activities. In this master’s thesis, I explore the history and epistemology of cryobiology through the lens of English biologist Alan Sterling Parkes (1900-1990). I will start by looking at the very first observations made by naturalists in the XVIIth century on the effects of low temperatures on living organisms and how these have been essential to the field of cryobiology. Those observations, as we will see, are also linked to other major episodes in the history of biology. From there, I will trace the early days of cryobiology, with a particular focus on a major scientific breakthrough: the discovery of protective properties of glycerol by Parkes and his colleagues at the National Institute of Medical Research (NIMR) at the end of World War II. This new cryoprotective agent enabled the preservation of living tissues and cells, thus revolutionizing the field of biology at low temperatures as well cementing cryobiology as a brand-new research field of its own. Finally, I will analyze the socio-historical context of cryobiology’s first practical applications, most notably in the field of reproductive medicine. This work aims at reconstructing the history of cryobiology and highlights the contribution of Parkes and his NIMR colleagues while also showing the role these played into structuring the emerging field.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the results of a combination of new observations with the Parkes telescope of neutral hydrogen (HI) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with an Australia Telescope Compact Array aperture synthesis mosaic. The data are used to study the HI distribution and mass, the velocity field and rotation curve of the SMC, as well as to probe the 3-D structure of the SMC. A kinematic study of the HI data reveals the existence of three supergiant shells which were previously undetectable in the ATCA data alone. The HI spatial power spectrum has been investigated over a range of contiguous scale sizes wider than those previously achieved in any other galaxy. This thesis also demonstrates that the infrared data obtained with the Infrared Astronomical Satellite for the SMC can be successfully reconstructed with much higher resolution using the Pyramid Maximum Entropy algorithm. The new infrared (IR) data are used to study the integrated IR spectrum, the dust temperature and dust column density in the SMC. The high resolution HI and IR data enable an investigation of the spatial correlation of dust and gas and the assumption of the dust and gas being well-mixed in the ISM. The spatial power spectrum of the dust column density shows that, as with the HI power spectrum, there is no preferred scale size for dust clouds. The remarkable similarity of the spatial power spectra for the HI and dust column density distributions suggests a unique hierarchical structure organisation for the ISM in the SMC. Such an organisation is likely to be governed by the Kolmogorov type turbulence and could be described by fractal nature with the volume fractal dimension of 2.4.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative study examines the migratory experience of immigrant Latina married women. It looks at their experience from both an individual and a systemic perspective. It compares their experience to that of grief due to bereavement using Parkes' theory of the grief process. This research also presents findings as to the effects of migration on the marital system. Analysis of interview data provided by 12 Latin American women who resided in the United States ranging from 2 years to 10 years, allowed a comparison between the experience of these women and the grief process theory. The findings of the study indicate that although there are some slight differences between grieving a deceased person and grieving the loss of a country, the similarities predominate. The data gathered was divided into the categories of initial mixed-emotions, searching, anger, disorganization and despair, recovery. Furthermore, the impact of immigration on the marital dyad was analyzed. The interviewees reported an increase in marital argument during the first stages of immigration with a tendency to decrease as time lapses. Overall, the interviewees identified their marital relationship as being stronger than prior to coming to the United States.

Befolkningen ökar kraftigt i Sverige och utökande av bostäder är högst aktuellt. Frågor som blir aktuella är var de nya bostadshusen ska placeras och vad berörda beslutsfattare anser när de behöver kompromissa med grönområden. Denna studie inriktar sig på Gävle kommun som har en vision om att utveckla 10 500 bostäder till år 2030 (Gävle kommun, 2016). Ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv är det olämpligt att bebygga grönområden i städer. Trots detta finns det planer på att bygga bostäder i parker i Gävles innerstad, vilket har diskuterats i media. Syftet med denna studie är att med hjälp av en enkätstudie undersöka hur Gävle kommuns anställda på samhällsbyggnad prioriterar och tar hänsyn till kvaliteter på grönområden. Resultatet jämförs även med de anställda på samhällsbyggnad på Sandvikens kommun, Tierps kommun, Älvkarleby kommun och Bollnäs kommun. Resultatet visade att det inte finns någon markant skillnad mellan de olika kommunerna eller arbetsgrupperna och överlag finns det heller inga större skillnader mellan praktiken och vad litteraturen påvisar.The population in Sweden is rapidly increasing and expanding possibilities of residential housing is highly topical. In light of this, other matters arise such as where the new residential buildings are to be located and how this affects existing green areas. This study focuses on Gävle municipality and its vision of developing 10 500 residential housings, by the year of 2030. From a sustainability perspective, it is inappropriate to build on green areas in cities. Regardless of the sustainability aspects, Gävle municipality plans to construct residential housings in the inner city parks of the city, as debated in media. The purpose of this study was to examine how employees within the department of Urban planning at Gävle municipality prioritize and account for the qualities of green areas. The study was carried out utilizing a survey and the results were compared to answers obtained from employees within the Urban planning department at the municipalities of Sandviken, Tierp, Älvkarleby and Bollnäs. The results did not show any significant differences between neither municipality, workgroup belonging, nor were any substantial differences between practice and literature identified.

Full textAbstract:
Parker i städer är en viktig del för människors hälsa och livskvalitet. Parker i städer tillgodoser olika människors behov av naturupplevelser, aktiviteter och friluftsliv. För ett socialt hållbart samhälle är det viktigt att alla människor oavsett, ålder kön och etnicitet har möjlighet att forma och leva sitt liv. Många parker erbjuder olika aktiviteter för lek och motion och skapar en viktig mötesplats för människor. Syftet med detta arbete är att skapa en värderingsmodell för att kunna värdera social hållbarhet i parker. En modell har tagits fram med olika kriterier för att kunna värdera social hållbarhet i parker. De olika kriterierna är hämtade från olika källor och egna framtagna kriterium. Målet med studien är att kunna fastställa social hållbarhet i parker utifrån den framtagna modellen. I detta arbete har olika metoder använts. Först gjordes en parkinventering i Gävle och Enköping, där sammanlagt 30 parker inventerades. Efter detta valdes två parker ut i Gävle och två i Enköping för en vidare granskning. I dessa fyra parker gjordes två observationer vardera där det registrerades vad människorna gjorde i parkerna. En slumpmässig enkätstudie genomfördes med åtta enkla frågor, med syftet att få in sammanlagt 40 svar per park. Detta för att få en uppfattning av människorna och deras syfte för att vistas i parken. Värderingsmodellen som tagits fram med detta arbete består av sex huvudrubriker: social interaktion, delaktighet, gemenskap, känsla av parken, säkerhet/trygghet och meningsfulla aktiviteter. Under dessa kriterier finns kategorier som bedömer om parken är socialt hållbar. Utifrån detta arbete kan slutsatsen dras att de större parkerna där människorna kan utföra någon sorts av meningsfull aktivitet är de mest socialt hållbara. I dessa parker skapas flest sociala interaktioner och människor möts här för att bidra till de sociala aktiviteterna. Dessa parker bidrar även till en ökad delaktighet och en gemenskap i samhället.Parks in cities are an important part of human health and quality of life. Parks in cities cater to different people's needs for nature experiences, activities and outdoor activities. For a socially sustainable society it is important that all people regardless of age gender and ethnicity have the opportunity to shape and live their lives. Many parks offer different activities for play and exercise and create an important meeting place for people. The purpose of this work is to create a valuation model to evaluate social sustainability in parks. A model has been developed with different criteria to evaluate social sustainability in parks. The different criteria are derived from different sources and own developed criteria. The aim of the study is to determine social sustainability in parks based on the model developed. Various methods have been used in this work. First, a study was conducted with an inventory of parks in Gävle and Enköping, where a total of 30 parks were inventerade. After this, two parks were chosen in Gävle and two in Enköping for a further examination. In these four parks, two observations were made too each, where it was recorded what the people did in the parks. A random survey was conducted with eight simple questions, aiming at collecting 40 answers per park. This to get an idea of the people and their purpose of visiting the park. The valuation model developed with this work consists of six main headings: social interaction, participation, community, sense of the park, security / safety and meaningful activities. Under these criteria there are categories that assess whether the park is socially sustainable. Based on this work, it can be concluded that the larger parks where people can perform some sort of meaningful activity are the most socially sustainable. In these parks, most social interactions are created and people meet here to contribute to social activities. These parks also contribute to increased participation and community in society.

Griffiths, Philip Gavin, and phil@philgriffiths id au. "The making of White Australia: Ruling class agendas, 1876-1888." The Australian National University. Faculty of Arts, 2007. http://thesis.anu.edu.au./public/adt-ANU20080101.181655.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that the colonial ruling class developed its first White Australia policy in 1888, creating most of the precedents for the federal legislation of 1901. White Australia was central to the making of the Australian working class, to the shaping of Australian nationalism, and the development of federal political institutions. It has long been understood as a product of labour movement mobilising, but this thesis rejects that approach, arguing that the labour movement lacked the power to impose such a fundamental national policy, and that the key decisions which led to White Australia were demonstrably not products of labour movement action.
¶
It finds three great ruling class agendas behind the decisions to exclude Chinese immigrants, and severely limit the use of indentured coloured labour. Chinese people were seen as a strategic threat to Anglo-Australian control of the continent, and this fear was sharpened in the mid-1880s when China was seen as a rising military power, and a necessary ally for Britain in its global rivalry with Russia. The second ruling class agenda was the building of a modern industrial economy, which might be threatened by industries resting on indentured labour in the north. The third agenda was the desire to construct an homogenous people, which was seen as necessary for containing social discontent and allowing free institutions, such as parliamentary democracy.
¶
These agendas, and the ruling class interests behind them, challenged other major ruling class interests and ideologies. The result was a series of dilemmas and conflicts within the ruling class, and the resolution of these moved the colonial governments towards the White Australia policy of 1901. The thesis therefore describes the conflict over the use of Pacific Islanders by pastoralists in Queensland, the campaign for indentured Indian labour by sugar planters and the radical strategy of submerging this into a campaign for North Queensland separation, and the strike and anti-Chinese campaign in opposition to the use of Chinese workers by the Australasian Steam Navigation Company in 1878. The first White Australia policy of 1888 was the outcome of three separate struggles by the majority of the Anglo-Australian ruling classto narrowly restrict the use of indentured labour in Queensland, to assert the right of the colonies to decide their collective immigration policies independently of Britain, and to force South Australia to accept the end of Chinese immigration into its Northern Territory. The dominant elements in the ruling class had already agreed that any serious move towards federation was to be conditional on the building of a white, predominantly British, population across the whole continent, and in 1888 they imposed that policy on their own societies and the British government.

Os periódicos científicos são o principal meio formal de registro e disseminação das pesquisas científicas e a etapa mais polêmica do fluxo editorial é a revisão por pares. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo descrever o processo da gestão de avaliadores na consolidação das revistas científicas brasileiras, bem como identificar características dos editores e das revistas, identificar os processos de avaliação adotados e suas características, levantar as vantagens e desvantagens desse modelo de avaliação, identificar características do perfil dos avaliadores e levantar os critérios utilizados pelos editores na escolha, permanência e desligamento de avaliadores. Segundo sua finalidade, trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada e a linha geral que norteou o presente estudo foi a pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, por meio de emprego de métodos quantitativos de análise, tendo como delineamento a pesquisa bibliográfica e o levantamento, utilizando como instrumento de coleta de dados, o questionário. O objeto de análise estendeu sua ação em 103 respondentes, dos 477 editores de revistas científicas associados à Associação Brasileira de Editores Científicos (ABEC). A pesquisa apontou que o modelo de avaliação mais utilizado é o double blind peer review, que se efetiva por meio do parecer de 2 especialistas que avaliam, em média, até 3 artigos ao ano, recebendo, a priori, orientações dos editores sobre as avaliações a serem realizadas. A principal vantagem apontada desse modelo de avaliação é a qualidade da publicação, porém, apresenta desvantagem em relação à demora que impõe ao fluxo editorial. Os avaliadores são selecionados com base em critérios, tais como, titulação em nível de doutorado na área, experiência como pesquisador e por terem realizado a avaliação com justiça, equilíbrio e clareza. Os novos avaliadores são selecionados pelo Currículo Lattes e as revistas possuem até 500 avaliadores cadastrados, entretanto, a maioria já descadastrou avaliadores por descumprimento de prazos e por não informarem sobre sua disponibilidade para avaliação quando solicitados. Os avaliadores não são remunerados financeiramente, mas recebem certificados de reconhecimento. Os editores, em sua maioria, têm até cinco anos de experiência e a maioria das revistas é editada no formato impresso e on-line, simultaneamente. Este estudo sistematizou informações sobre a gestão de avaliadores de revistas científicas e evidenciou o papel fundamental do Currículo Lattes, como fonte de informação para a seleção de avaliadores, o cumprimento de prazos e a emissão de pareceres justos como aspectos relevantes para a permanência na função de avaliador.
Abstract : Scientific journals are the primary means of formal registration and dissemination of scientific research and the most controversial step in editorial flow is peer review. This research aimed to understand the process of managing evaluators in the consolidation of Brazilian scientific journals, identify characteristics of publishers and journals, identify the adopted assessment processes and their characteristics, to verify the advantages and disadvantages of this evaluation model, to identify profile characteristics of evaluators and to understand the criteria used by editors in the selection and maintenance of evaluators. According to its purpose, it is an applied research and the general line that guided this study was exploratory and descriptive research, through the use of quantitative methods of analysis, literature review and a survey, using a questionnaire as instrument for data collection. The object of analysis were 103 respondents from the 477 scientific journal editors associated to the Brazilian Association of Science Editors (ABEC). The survey showed that the model for assessment most frequently used is the double blind peer review, which is carried out through analisys and opinion given by two experts who evaluate, on average, up to 3 articles per year, receiving a priori instructions of editors on the evaluations to be performed. The main advantage of this assessment model is the quality of the publication. It has, however, a disadvantage regarding the delay it imposes on the editorial flow. The evaluators are selected based on criteria such as titles at the doctoral level in the area, experience as a researcher and their ability to carry out the evaluation with fairness, balance and clarity. The new evaluators are selected based on their Lattes Curriculum and magazines have up to 500 registered evaluators. Most magazines, however, have already canceled the registration of evaluators for non-compliance with deadlines and for not informing about their availability for evaluation when requested. Evaluators are not financially compensated, but they receive certificates of recognition. The editors, in their majority, have up to five years of experience and most magazines are published in print and online simultaneously. This study systematized information on the management of reviewers of scientific journals and highlighted the key role of Lattes Curriculum, as a source of information for selecting evaluators. It also pointed out the importance of meeting deadlines and issuing fair opinions as relevant aspects for keeping the position of evaluator.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the history of Tasmanias national parks and protected areas from 1885-2005, analysing the interests, and the organisations and individuals representing them, which have influenced outcomes. Significant organisations representing different and sometimes competing interests have been community based groups, chiefly the naturalist and scientific bodies, bushwalking clubs and environmental organisations; tourism associations, industry interests, notably forestry, mining and hydro-electricity, federal, local and state governments and government agencies, notably the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The thesis argues that the establishment and development of Tasmanias national parks and protected areas have been shaped by the negotiations, accommodations, conflicts and shifting relative power among these competing interests.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries consensus of interest among Tasmanias social and political elite facilitated the declaration of Tasmanias first scenery reserves and national parks. Conflicts of interest between preserving land in its natural state and industrial development grew apparent from the 1920s however, and Tasmanian governments managed park expansion through politics of compromise in which national parks accommodated industry demands. The environment movement that emerged in the 1960s protested national parks residual status and with federal government support defeated the State governments plan to build a dam within an area proposed for a Wild Rivers National Park. Following environmentalists success in over-riding State government processes to expand the States national park estate and World Heritage Area in the early 1980s; the State government strengthened its direct control over the National Parks and Wildlife Service and focused its attention on national parks tourism role. Aspects of tourism in national parks are, however, incompatible with the preservation of environmental and wilderness values, which resulted in further political conflict between government-supported tourism interests and the national parks movement.
This thesis complements earlier research on Tasmanian national park history by Mosley, Castles, Shackel, Mendel and Cubit by extending analysis of that history to the twenty-first century, examining the role of the National Parks and Wildlife Service in that history since the agencys inception in 1971, and addressing both environmental and social perspectives of national park history. It concludes that by the twenty-first century Tasmanian national park policy required a framework of social values associated with national parks in which to situate environmental protection as national parks primary purpose.

Conflicts of interest between preserving land in its natural state and industrial development grew apparent from the 1920s however, and Tasmanian governments managed park expansion through politics of compromise in which national parks accommodated industry demands. The environment movement that emerged in the 1960s protested national parks' 'residual' status and with federal government support defeated the State government's plan to build a dam within an area proposed for a Wild Rivers National Park. Following environmentalists' success in over-riding State government processes to expand the State's national park estate and World Heritage Area in the early 1980s; the State government strengthened its direct control over the National Parks and Wildlife Service and focused its attention on national parks' tourism role. Aspects of tourism in national parks are, however, incompatible with the preservation of environmental and wilderness values, which resulted in further political conflict between government-supported tourism interests and the national parks movement.
This thesis complements earlier research on Tasmanian national park history by Mosley, Castles, Shackel, Mendel and Cubit by extending analysis of that history to the twenty-first century, examining the role of the National Parks and Wildlife Service in that history since the agency's inception in 1971, and addressing both environmental and social perspectives of national park history. It concludes that by the twenty-first century Tasmanian national park policy required a framework of social values associated with national parks in which to situate environmental protection as national parks' primary purpose.

Full textAbstract:
A tese discute o problema dos terceiros na arbitragem. Ela distingue os planos substantivo (contratual) e processual (jurisdicional) da arbitragem e, portanto, o status de parte e terceiro com relação, respectivamente, à convenção de arbitragem e ao processo arbitral. Depois de desenvolver as premissas teóricas na Parte 1, a Parte 2 expõe as teorias contratuais e societárias por meio das quais um não-signatário pode ficar vinculado à convenção de arbitragem, com destaque para a extensão a todos os acionistas da companhia da cláusula compromissória estatutária, bem como para a aplicação do princípio da boa-fé objetiva (teoria dos atos próprios, estoppel) para impedir com que determinados signatários burlem a convenção de arbitragem ao incluir terceiros no polo passivo da demanda ou, ainda, para impor a arbitragem a não-signatários que derivaram um benefício do contrato inter alios. Na Parte III, a atenção volta-se para o processo e a sentença arbitral. Expõe-se uma teoria dos efeitos da sentença, buscando-se explicar a sua potencial eficácia ultra partes com base: a) na necessidade de realizar o direito da contraparte à tutela jurisdicional (adquirente do direito litigioso, sucessores post rem judicatam); e b) na identificação de nexos de prejudicialidade-dependência permanente entre as relações jurídicas no plano do direito material (terceiro titular de situação dependente). Refutam-se, em passo seguinte, teorias que preconizam o valor absoluto da sentença. Oferece-se, como núcleo da tese, uma reconstrução dogmática das modalidades de intervenção de terceiro, buscando adaptá-las à arbitragem para alcançar, em cada situação, um justo equilíbrio entre as expectativas contratuais das partes originárias e a natureza privada da arbitragem, de um lado, e os efeitos da sentença perante terceiros, de outro. Conclui-se que, em alguns casos, legitima-se o terceiro a intervir voluntariamente, mesmo contra ou independentemente da vontade das partes, se ele estiver sujeito aos efeitos da sentença. Em hipótese excepcionalíssimas, ademais, a parte pode sujeitar um terceiro aos efeitos de intervenção, provocando a sua assistência no processo arbitral.The thesis addresses the problems of third parties in arbitration. It distinguishes the substantive (contractual) and procedural dimensions of arbitration and, hence, the status of parties and third parties in connection with, respectively, the arbitration agreement and the arbitral proceedings. After spelling out theoretical premises in Part 1, Part 2 covers the contractual and corporate theories by which a non-signatory may be bound by the arbitration agreement, highlighting the extension to all shareholders of the agreement in the corporate bylaws, as well as the application of the equitable doctrine of estoppel to bar certain signatories from avoiding the arbitration agreement by including third parties as defendants or even to impose arbitration onto non-signatories who derived a benefit from the contract inter alios. In Part III, my attention turns to the proceedings and the arbitral award. I set out a doctrine of the effects of judgments, seeking to explain their potential effects on third parties based: a) on the prevailing need to preserve the counterpartys right to a binding declaration on its asserted claims (acquirers, successors post rem judicatam); b) the identification of substantive ties between legal relationships that make the third parties rights permanently dependent on the situation between the parties. I then refute theories ascribing absolute value to the award vis-à-vis third parties. As the core of the thesis, I offer a doctrinal reconstruction of third party interventions, seeking to adapt them to arbitration in order to achieve, in each situation, a fair balance between the contractual expectations of the original parties and the private nature of arbitration, in one hand, and the effects of the award on third parties, on the other. I conclude that a third party should be allowed to intervene, albeit against the will of the parties, if it is subject to the concrete effects of the arbitral award. In exceptional situations, moreover, a party may vouch in a third party, who will then be bound by the determinations of factual and legal issues made in the award.

Full textAbstract:
The primary objective of this study was to develop an ecotourism model for South African National Parks. South African National Parks' current ecotourism/tourism management strategies were analysed and it was found that no clear guidelines regarding the development and management of ecotourism in South Africa National Parks exists. As South African National Parks (SANParks) is one of the largest conservation and ecotourism providers in South Africa, and because ecotourism tends to occur in sensitive ecological and human communities, the need for an ecotourism model for South African National Parks is crucial. The absence of such a model will prevent the effective and sustainable management, monitoring and control of ecotourism in South African National Parks.
A literature study was conducted into sustainable–, responsible– and ecotourism as well as current national and international policies concerning ecotourism in national parks or nature–based tourism.
Sustainable tourism requires that tourism development should be of such a nature that a balance is kept between the economy, socio–cultural environment and the physical environment. This is referred to as the triple bottom line. The goal of sustainable tourism is to maximise the positive impacts and minimise the negative impacts on the just mentioned triple bottom line aspects. Responsible tourism has the same goals as sustainable tourism, but stresses the importance of all stakeholders taking responsibility of ensuring a sustainable tourism industry. It should therefore be seen as a pathway to achieve sustainable tourism, rather than as an end in itself. Ecotourism forms part of the sustainable/responsible tourism paradigm. From the literature, four main pillars were identified on which ecotourism is based, namely: conservation and enhancement of natural and cultural attractions; environmental education; sustainable management practices and the provision of an enlightening tourist experience. The literature review also indicated some principles supportive of the pillars that are important if ecotourism is to take place, namely: natural and cultural environment; local community upliftment; long–term planning; ethical behaviour of all stakeholders; environmentally–friendly practices and tourist satisfaction.
Quantitative research was conducted. An explorative research approach was followed by the means of a self–administered questionnaire with the aim of determining the perceptions, of both the demand side (visitors to South Africa National Parks) and from the supply side (managers of South African National Parks) on the subject of ecotourism. Fifty–six (56) constructs pertaining to aspects of ecotourism were measured on a five–point Likert scale. The constructs were based on a literature review regarding responsible– and ecotourism. Sources that were used to a large extent to develop the questionnaire include the works of Frey and George (2010), Saayman (2009), Fennell (2008), Spencely (2008), Björk (2007), Diamantis (2004),DEAT (2003) The questionnaire for the visitor survey was launched on the website of South Africa National Parks during March 2011 and ran for one month. During this time, 993 respondents completed the questionnaire. The same questionnaire was sent via electronic mail to the managers of SANParks, namely regional and general managers, hospitality services managers and managing executives. A total of 25 questionnaires were completed.
The results of the empirical research were processed by the North–West University's Statistical Consultation Services (Potchefstroom Campus). The data was analysed by means of the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) software programme. Statistical methods that were used include: descriptive statistics; exploratory factor analysis; factor correlation matrix and a t–test.
The results of the descriptive statistics revealed that the following ecotourism aspects were rated as most important by visitors: everyone (staff and visitors) has a responsibility to maintain a litter–free environment; animals should not be fed; everyone (staff and visitors) has a responsibility to save water and electricity. The managers, however, rated the following as the most important ecotourism aspects: to ensure managers, staff and contract employees understand and adhere to all aspects of the South African National Parks' policy to prevent negative impacts on the environment and local communities; do not feed the animals; and to comply with all relevant national, provincial and local legislation, regulations, licences and permits as may be required.
Six factors were identified from the exploratory factor analysis: Factor 1: Product development; Factor 2: Local community involvement; Factor 3: Environmentally friendly practices; Factor 4: Ethics; Factor 5: Food and activities; Factor 6: Policies.
The factors recorded serve as important guidelines for the development and management of ecotourism products in South African National Parks. For instance, the factor with the highest mean value was “ethics”. Visitor respondents felt very strongly that rules and regulations should be adhered to by visitors and that severe penalties should be implemented in the case of non–compliance. This was also the definite view of staff members.
The research made the following contributions to the discipline of tourism and specifically ecotourism:
* This research presents the first ecotourism model for South African National Parks which can assist park management in creating ecotourism products that provide a sustainable ecotourism experience and secure the future of ecotourism in national parks.
* It was the first time that the perception of ecotourism was determined from both a demand and supply side in South Africa National Parks, which assisted in identifying the key factors for ecotourism products from.
* The results of this research paved the way for SANParks in the development of an ecotourism policy for South African National Parks.
* The results further made a contribution to the future development of a national ecotourism policy for South Africa (which currently does not exist). Such a policy can then be applied to provincial parks, private game reserves and game farms in South Africa.
* The research contributed to the development of a sustainable ecotourism rating criteria for South African National Parks to allow them to grow closer to an ideal managed system that is in line with sustainable / responsible management aspects.
* The results were presented at the First International Conference on Tourism and Management Studies in the Algarve, Portugal on the 27th October 2011.
* A contribution was also made to the literature on ecotourism in terms of clarification of what is expected by the users (tourists) of ecotourism products and what SANParks' managers view as important aspects of ecotourism and how ecotourism should be developed and managed.
* Finally, this study contributed to the research concerning national parks in terms of ecotourism development and management.Thesis (Ph.D. (Tourism))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
The following study involve the issue of physical form in public parks and consequently how form is affecting the use of public parks. Subject of the study is that many public parks have the potential of attracting greater numbers of users than the physical form can allow, and that there’s physical aspects that contribute to how parks are used. A greater understanding of the topic and what further measures that can be taken to change the pattern of use in these places are also subjects of the study. These are important topics in the discussion of understanding and furthermore the improvement of public spaces for the use of spatial planners and other related professionals. The study involves observation of form and observation of use in the three chosen public parks of Strandbjörket, Spetsamossen and Linnéparken in Växjö Sweden. The analysis of the observation shows specific qualities but also flaws in the three parks and furthermore opportunities of improvement. The conclusion of the study also shows that additional research in the subject and further studies in the specific parks needs to be done for an improved understanding of the topic and a basis for strategies of improvement in the specific parks.Följande arbete berör ämnet om offentliga parkers fysiska former och vidare hur dessa inverkar på hur platsen används. Att många offentliga parker har potentialen till att attrahera fler användare än vad formen möjliggör och att det finns fysiska aspekter som är starkt bidragande till hur parkerna används är frågor som undersökningen berör. En förståelse om ämnet och vidare vilka åtgärder som kan förändra användningen av dessa platser är också frågor som omfattas i undersökningen. Dessa frågor är viktiga för fysiska planerare och andra ansvariga yrkesutövare i diskussionen om ämnet och vidare i förbättringsarbetet av offentliga parker. Undersökningen innefattar att observera form och användning av de tre utvalda offentliga parkerna Strandbjörket, Spetsamossen och Linnéparken i Växjö. Analysen av observationerna visar på att tydliga kvalitéer och brister med tillhörande förbättringsmöjligheter förekommer i alla tre offentliga parker. Slutsatserna visar även på att vidare undersökningar inom ämnet och specifikt de tre utvalda parkerna kan vara till fördel för forskningen och bidra till att utgöra ett underlag för åtgärder till förbättring i de tre parkerna.

Full textAbstract:
Utvecklingen till det högteknologiska samhället och urbaniseringen är exempel på bidragande orsaker till en ökad folkmängd i städer och har gett upphov till både stadsutbredning och förtätning. Bidragande anledningar till befolkningsökningen är först och främst en förbättrad sjukvård och den ökade invandringen. Bostadsbristen som ett resultat på den ökade befolkningen har vuxit fram och i sin tur resulterat i att fokus läggs på planering av nya bostädsområden. Fysisk inaktivitet och ett stillasittande beteende är problem som har vuxit fram under de senaste årtionden. På grund av detta har metoder för kartläggning av fysisk aktivitet och grönområden fått ett större intresse. Det går att planera för fysisk aktivitet, men det är fortfarande viljan hos individen som måste finnas. Parker och grönområden är viktiga platser för att främja fysisk aktivitet i städer och ett stort utbud som tilltalar alla är att föredra. De har också en viktig funktion för stadens ekosystemtjänster. Genom att använda metoder för lokalisering av grönområden samt ha kunskap om dess betydelse är det möjligt att främja fysisk aktivitet i samhällsplaneringen, och är målet för studien. Studien kommer att utvärdera och kartlägga utbudet av grönområden i Eksjö. Resultatet visar att invånare i Eksjö har god tillgång till fysisk aktivitet i grönområden och parker där större delen av befolkningen bor inom ett avstånd som är rekommenderat från tidigare vetenskaplig forskning och myndigheter. Kvalitetsbedömningen visar att Vildparken är den park i Eksjö som är mest attraktiv. Slutligen behandlas nudging, vilket är ett begrepp som innebär vägledning av människor för att nyttja ett större syfte och sträva mot ett mer hållbart samhälle. Hur kan nudging appliceras för att främja fysisk aktivitet, och är det möjligt? Det finns möjligheter att inkludera nudging i samhällsplaneringen i samband med fysisk aktivitet, till exempel vid placering av skyltar vid ingångar till parkerThe development to the high-tech society and the urbanization are examples of reasons that contributes to the increase in population in cities and the rise of urban expansion and densification. Contributing causes of population are, first and foremost, improved health care and increased immigration. Housing shortages, as a result of increased population have grown, and in turn resulted to focusing on planning of new housing areas. Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are problems that have emerged in recent decades. Because of this, methods of mapping physical activity and green areas have gained greater interest.Parks and green areas are important places to promote physical activity in cities and a wide range of appeal to everyone is preferable. They also have an important function for the city's ecosystem services. By using methods for locating green spaces and having knowledge of its importance, it is possible to promote physical activity in urban planning, and is the goal of the study. The study will evaluate and map the supply of green areas in the city of Eksjö.The result shows that residents in Eksjö have good access to physical activity in green areas and parks where most of the population lives within a distance recommended by previous scientific research and authorities. The quality assessment showsthat Vildparken is the park in Eksjö which is the most attractive.Finally, nudging is treated, which is a term that guides people to a greater purpose and strives towards a more sustainable society. The question on how nudging can be applied to promote physical activity and its possibilty is another question this study will answer. There are opportunities to include nudging in community planning in connection with physical activity, such as placement of signs at entrances to parks.

Full textAbstract:
The provincial parks of British Columbia have endured varying degress of
resource exploitation since the creation of the first provincial park in B.C.,
Strathcona Park in 1911. B.C. Parks, the government agency which manages
B.C.'s parks, administers the Park Act (R.S.B.C. 1979 C.309) and derives its
dual goals for recreation and conservation from the Act. In addition to the
Park Act, there are several levels of policy for B.C. Parks which guide decisions
regarding resource use in parks, including "Striking the Balance - B.C. Parks
Policy Statement," occasional policy statements in News Releases, and some
conditions in resource use permits.
This thesis examines the levels of policy which guide decisions regarding mining
in parks in British Columbia and the consistency of the commitment to the goals
of B.C. Parks through the policy levels. The approach to policy analysis taken
is that a policy is both an output of the level above, and an input to the level
below. Three criteria are derived from the definitions of policy in the literature.
They are that policy should be clear and a guide to decision-making, that it
should be forward-looking, and that it should be enforceable. The fourth criterion
says that the goals of B.C. Parks stated in the Park Act should be traceable
through the policy levels.
Since 1973, there have been five policies regarding mining in B.C.'s parks which
stand out as significantly altering the commitment of B.C. Parks to its goals.
In two of these policies the recreation and conservation goals of B.C. Parks are
apparent, while the goals are not apparent in three of the policies.
Foreseeable decisions for mining in parks are examined, and the ability of the
present policies to guide the decisions is tested. B.C. Parks retains little
decision-making authority with respect to mining in parks. On a mineral claim
in a recreation area, the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources has
jurisdiction. Off a mineral claim in a recreation area, B.C. Parks has limited
authority over mining activities. The fundamental decisions which rests with
B.C. Parks is whether or not the recreational values of the area are sufficiently
impaired by mining to delete it from the park system.
Surprises can occur when the results are different from what was expected,
either because the cause is different, the behaviours are not what was
anticipated, or an action produces the opposite result from what was intended
(Holling 1986: p.294). Several surprises with regard to mining in Parks are
imagined and the challenge to the goals of B.C. Parks through the policy levels
is examined. A strong commitment to the goals at the upper levels of parks
policy, and reflected through the levels is proposed to ensure that B.C.'s parks
survive challenges from mining and from other sources.Applied Science, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The literature review on tourist satisfaction revealed that a satisfied tourist leads to positive word of mouth recommendation to friends and family, loyalty (return visits), competitive advantage and long-term profitability and sustainability. These favourable benefits resulting from satisfaction are necessary for any destination to survive in the competitive tourism industry. The Addo Elephant National Park (AENP) is one of 21 national parks in South Africa and is managed by SANParks. Data captured from visitors to the (AENP) was used to achieve the objective of this study. As national, regional, local and privately owned parks (private game farms) strive to increase their share in the international and national market, it is important to understand why visitors return to a certain destination and the role service plays in the return decision. Literature on satisfaction identified two components that contribute to return visits. These were service (delivering quality service) and travel motivation (why people travel to a certain destination).
The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between satisfaction, service and travel motivations of the visitors to the AENP. To achieve this, data captured from 2005-2007 by the Institute for Tourism and Leisure Studies on the AENP was firstly used to determine the visitors? profile and, secondly, to apply factor analyses and the t-test. The factor analyses were applied and, in both cases, four factors were identified. In the case of the service factors, hospitality services, general services, activities, and infrastructure disseminations were found and, in the case of travel motivation factors, learning experience, activities and events, escape and family socialising. The t-tests were used to determine whether or not visitors' expectations were met. This was also used to determine the relationship between travel motives, service and satisfaction of the visitors to the AENP.
Findings indicated that the visitors whose primary travel motivation expectations were met rated the services higher than visitors whose primary travel motivation expectations were not met. The research therefore confirmed that there is a relationship between service and travel motivation. In terms of visitors' satisfaction, the relevance of the relationship between travel motives and service is lower if the visitors' primary travel needs are met, with a higher relevance of the relationship if the primary travel needs are not met. Park management can use these results as tools to ensure that the product offered guarantees visitors' satisfaction and therefore contributes to long-term park sustainability. Therefore park management can obtain the ideal tourist experience by not only focusing on the travel motives but also on the quality of service delivered at the park.Thesis (M.Com.

Resumo: Neste trabalho consideramos alguns aspectos da teoria qualitativa de sistemas dinâmicos suaves por partes. Nosso principal objetivo é estudar uma classe de tais sistemas, onde o conjunto de descontinuidade é dado por uma hipersuperfície ? e além disso, assumimos que em cada região determinada por ? o campo de vetores definido é um sistema Hamiltoniano. Apresentamos estudos relacionados à regularização de campos de vetores suaves por partes em Rn que preservam volume nas componentes suaves. Abordamos também singularidades de funções suaves por partes, onde formas normais e seus desdobramentos são apresentados. Por fim estudamos bifurcações de campos de vetores Hamiltonianos refrativos
Abstract: In this work, we consider some aspects of the qualitative theory of non smooth dynamical systems in Rn. Our main goal is to study a class of such systems where the discontinuity set is concentrated in a hypersurface ? and moreover, we assume that in each region determined by ? the vector field is a Hamiltonian system. We present studies related to the regularization of piecewise vector fields in Rn that are volume preserving on each smooth components. We also analyze singularities of piecewise smooth functions where normal forms and their unfolding are presented. Finally, we study bifurcations of refractive Hamiltonian vector fields

Apresentamos um estudo das álgebras de incidência que são hereditárias por partes, as quais denominamos Phias, piecewise hereditary incidence algebras. Através da aljava com relações, descrevemos as Phias de tipo Dynkin e introduzimos uma nova família de Phias de tipo Dynkin extendido chamada família ANS, em referência a Assem, Nehring e Skowronski. Nessa descrição, o importante método foi o dos cortes em extensões triviais, os quais inspiraram a elaboração de um programa que concebe exatamente os cortes na extensão trivial dada que resultam em álgebras de incidência. Abordamos as Phias Κ\\Δ de tipo feixes, estudando o Κ\\Δ-módulo sincero canônico M e a álgebra de extensão por um ponto Κ\\Δ[Μ]. Demonstramos que se ΚQ/I é uma álgebra sincera, quase-inclinada canônica de tipo aljava e tipo de representação infinito, então os ΚQ/I-módulos sinceros são excepcionais. Essa conclusão permite construir uma gama de Phias Κ\\Δ[Μ] de tipo selvagem. Exploramos as Phias simplesmente conexas, provando uma resposta positiva para o problema de Skowronski para Κ\\Δ uma Phia de tipo H, com grafo de objetos inclinantes Κ_D^b (Η) conexo: o grupo Η^1(Κ\\Δ) é trivial se, e somente se, a álgebra Κ\\Δ é simplesmente conexa. Na área homológica, determinamos um limitante superior da dimensão global forte das Phias; mais ainda, ampliamos esse resultado para as álgebras sinceras provando que dada uma álgebra sincera e hereditária por partes, sua dimensão global forte é menor ou igual a três.We present a study of incidence algebras that are piecewise hereditary, which we denominate Phias. By means of the quiver with relations, we describe Phias of Dynkin type and introduce a new family of Phias of extended Dynkin type, which we call ANS family, in reference to Assem, Nehring, and Skowronski. In this description, the important method was the one of cuts on trivial extensions, inspiring the writing of a program that shows exactly the cuts on the given trivial extension that result on incidence algebras. We approach sheaves type Phias Κ\\Δ, studying the canonical sincere Κ\\Δ-module M and the one-point extension algebra Κ\\Δ[Μ]. We show that if ΚQ/I is a sincere, quasi-tilted canonical algebra of quiver type and infinite representation type, then sincere ΚQ/I-modules are exceptional. This conclusion allows the construction of a wide range of Phias Κ\\Δ[Μ] wild type. We explore the simply conectedeness of Phias, proving a positive answer of the so called Skowronski problem for Κ\\Δ a Phia H type, with connected quiver of tilting objects Κ_D^b (Η): the group Η^1(Κ\\Δ) is trivial if, and only if, Κ\\Δ is a simply connected algebra. On homology, we determine an upper bound for the strong global dimension of Phias; furthermore, we extend this result for sincere algebras proving that the strong global dimension of a sincere piecewise hereditary algebra is less or equal to three.

Full textAbstract:
Ein großer Teil der durchgeführten Wege mit dem Verkehrsmittel Pkw beginnen und enden mit einem Parkvorgang im öffentlichen Raum. Das Parken im öffentlichen Straßenraum steht dabei sowohl direkt als auch indirekt im Zusammenhang mit konfliktträchtigen Situationen, welche zu Unfällen führen können. Neben den Unfällen zwischen motorisierten Verkehrsteilnehmern sind auch die Fußgänger und Radfahrer („schwächere Verkehrsteilnehmer“) von den verkehrssicherheitsrelevanten Auswirkungen des Parkens betroffen. Diese Unfallsituationen sollen im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit im Fokus stehen. In diesem Zusammenhang sollen folgende Forschungsfragen näher untersucht werden: - Wie stellen sich Ausmaß und Struktur des mit dem Parken im Zusammenhang stehenden Unfallgeschehens dar? - Wie lassen sich Problemsituationen bei der Organisation des ruhenden Verkehrs in den Kommunen klassifizieren? - Welche legalen und regelwidrigen Verhaltensweisen aller Verkehrsteilnehmer, die das Unfallgeschehen im Zusammenhang mit dem Parken beeinflussen (unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen Gesetzeslage und Rechtsprechung), sind typisch und lassen sich beobachten? - Welche Hintergründe führen zu Verhaltensweisen, welche das Unfallrisiko im Zusammenhang mit dem Parken beeinflussen? - Wie lassen sich existierende Maßnahmen aus den Bereichen Infrastruktur, Gesetzgebung, inklusive Überwachung und Ahndung, Kampagnen zur Beeinflussung von Verhaltensweisen, Verkehrsregelung und Bewirtschaftung oder Fahrzeugtechnik hinsichtlich deren Wirksamkeiten und Umsetzungsaspekten in Bezug auf die Untersuchungsergebnisse einordnen? - Welche Anforderungen sind an neue Maßnahmen auf Basis der Untersuchungsergebnisse zu stellen? Das Forschungsprojekt wird durch sechs aufeinander aufbauende Arbeitspakete gegliedert: - AP1 Literaturanalyse - AP2 Makroskopische Unfallanalyse - AP3 Kommunale Befragung - AP4 Detailanalysen und Fotodokumentation - AP5 Lokale Befragung und Erhebung Verkehrsverhalten - AP6 Zusammenfassung.

A nitrogen management demonstration was conducted in the Parker Valley in 1994. Grower nitrogen application practices were compared with nitrogen application recommendations based upon pre plant soil samples plus petiole nitrates and plant mapping data. The only significant difference in amounts applied occurred in May, with grower applied rates exceeding recommended rates. Grower rationale for the application was logical, however, it being dependent upon the uncertainty of irrigation timing in June.

Full textAbstract:
Parker Mountain, is located in south central Utah, it consists of 153 780 ha of high elevation rangelands dominated by black sagebrush (Artemisia nova A. Nelson), and mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. vaseyana [Rybd.] Beetle) communities. Sagebrush obligate species including greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) depend on these vegetation communities throughout the year. Parker Mountain is owned and managed by Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration, Bureau of Land Management, and the United States Forest Service. Land management on Parker Mountain include wildlife conservation and providing sustainable ecosystem services such as livestock grazing.
My research described the species composition of the black sagebrush communities, evaluated the long-term vegetation responses to two mechanical (Dixie harrow/Lawson aerator) and one chemical treatment (tebuthiuron), and herbaceous biomass responses to tebuthiuron treatments in mountain big sagebrush communities on Parker Mountain.
My results indicated when black sagebrush canopy cover was <20%, average grass canopy cover was highest (13%). When black sagebrush canopy cover exceeded 40%, grass canopy cover was lowest (8%). Forb canopy cover was relatively consistent (5%) across black sagebrush communities with >20% canopy cover. Communities with <20% black sagebrush canopy cover had the lowest forb canopy cover.
Tebuthiuron reduced mountain big sagebrush percent canopy cover (>9 years), increased grass canopy cover, and increased forb canopy cover more than the two mechanical brush control methods. Tebuthiuron treatments shifted sites from xeric to more mesic plant communities, which resulted in increased percent forb cover required by greater sage-grouse during late-brooding.
Herbaceous biomass increased under tebuthiuron treatments in mountain big sagebrush pastures. Tebuthiuron treatments also reduced live sagebrush canopy cover for at least 9 years.

Full textAbstract:
The contemporary information society demands efficient knowledge management and therefore, the transfer of knowledge becomes an important issue. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the understanding of how the knowledge transfer in Science Parks takes place and which knowledge transfer supporting conditions are offered within the Science Park environment.
Through the conduction of several in depth interviews with the management of Science Parks as well as the representatives of their tenant companies it can be concluded that Science Parks seem to offer favourable conditions for knowledge transfer. This is facilitated by the established structural arrangements as well as the supporting activities of the Science Parks‟ management.
An important assumption is made within the scope of this study that certain favourable conditions may as well be relevant for off Science Park firms and thus, presumably making the present study interesting and valuable for a larger audience.

Magistro darbe tiriamas varliagyvių vystymasis ir jų pasiskirstymas Krekenavos regioniniame parke. Darbo objektas – varliagyviai Krekenavos regioniniame parke Darbo tikslas – nustatyti Krekenavos regioninio parko varliagyvių rūšinę įvairovę ir jos pasiskirstymą. Darbo metodai – eksperimentas, natūralus stebėjimas, matavimas, maršrutinis metodas. Darbo rezultatai. Šiame darbe panaudota medžiaga buvo surinkta 2006.04.23, ir 2006.birželio – rugsėjo mėnesiais. Atlikus stebėjimus buvo pastebėti akivaizdūs skirtumai tarp namų ir lauko bandymo rezultatų. Kambario sąlygos, šiluma ir temperatūra nulėmė buožgalvių greitesnį vystymąsi, nei lauko sąlygomis. Namų sąlygomis buožgalvių metamorfozė nuo embriono iki buožgalvio trunka 4 dienas. Lauko sąlygomis buožgalviai vystosi panašiai, kaip ir natūraliomis sąlygomis , metamorfozė nuo embriono iki buožgalvio trunka 12 dienų. Smailiasnukės varlės ( Rana arvalis) gausiai sutinkamos pušyne. Paprastasis tritonas (Titrus vulgaris) aptinkamas tik sausuose pušynuose. Mišriame lapuočių miške – pievinės varlės (Rana temporaria). Glitėtų beržyne gausiai sutinkamos varlės ežerinė varlė (Rana ridisbunda) ir kūdrinė varlė (Rana esculenta). Senvagėje ir užtvankoje varlių pasiskirstymas nėra būdingas vienai ar kitai gyvenamajai aplinkai. Krekenavos regioniniame parke gausiausiai sutinkamos rudosios varlės, o iš jų – pievinė varlė (Rana temporaria); ji mažiausiai išranki savo gyvenamajai vietai.This master work analyses the development of amphibians and their distribution in Krekenava regional park. The object of this work – the amphibians in Krekenava regional park. The goal of this work – to determine the variety of amphibian species in Krekenava regional park, their abundance and distribution. The objectives of this work – experiment, natural observation, measurement, route method. The results of this work. The material used in this work was collected in 2006.04.23 and June ) September period of 2006. After observation there were noticed big differences between the results achieved in experiment within outside and inside conditions. Inside conditions, warmth and temperature have caused faster development of tadpoles than within outside conditions. The methamorphosis of tadpoles within inside conditions takes 4 days. The development of tadpoles within outside conditions in their natural habitat is very similar, only in takes 12 days to develop from embryo to tadpoles. Rana arvalis are very common in pine forest. Triturus vulgaris are found only in dry pine forest. Rana temporaria are very common in leaf – bearing forests. Rana esculenta and Rana ridibunda are very common in birch forest. The distribution of frogs in the old riverbed and the, pond isn’t common for one or the other natural habitat. The most common frog species in Krekenava regional park is the brown frog species - Rana temporaria , which is the least fastidious for its natural habitat.

Full textAbstract:
Since national park visitation has been rapidly increasing each year, the National Park Service (NPS) has been struggling to manage their popular parks and control automobile-related problems: urbanization, crowding, emission pollution, and damage to natural resources. However, the advent of the mountain-bike and increased public interest in bicycling presents an opportunity for the NPS to alleviate its automobile use problems by enabling bicycle use as a transportation alternative. The purpose of this dissertation is to clarify the role of bicycle use in national parks and enable the NPS to create informed policies to support this role. A review was conducted of NPS bicycle facilities and use. An in-depth examination, involving four surveys and three case studies, was made of the personal and social aspects affecting bicycle use. Results indicated that perceptions about bicycle use and favorable support for increased access within national parks is generally consistent among the groups surveyed: trail users, general park visitors, and park service employees within park units and regional administrative offices. As an alternative to automobile use, the advantages of bicycling in front-country areas of parks appear to offset any disadvantages; while within back-country areas, the disadvantages appear to outweigh the advantages. To successfully increase bicycle access, plans should be created which maximize the benefits of bicycling and minimize potential disadvantages. Safety issues, trail user conflicts, and resource damage can be reduced through effective design. A focus should be placed on separating trail user groups and providing safe bicycle access on park roadways. National parks offer unique opportunities for bicycling since they attract a wide range of age groups and provide a relatively safe environment. Yet compared to local and state government agencies, the NPS appears to be lagging behind in the development of bicycle facilities. The three greatest impediments for improving facilities in national parks are lack of funding, rigidity in current transportation policies, and funding strategies that are centered on automobile use.

Full textAbstract:
Livskvaliteten kan utsättas för prövningar för ungdomar och vuxna personer med cerebral pares [CP] i kontakt med vårdandet inom öppen och sluten hälso- och sjukvård. Eftersom det finns brister i kompetensen hos sjuksköterskor, är det betydelsefullt att beskriva vad livskvalitet är för funktionshindrade ungdomar och vuxna personer med CP, för att sjuksköterskan ska kunna utföra det goda vårdandet inom omvårdnaden. Syftet var att beskriva faktorer som kan påverka livskvaliteten hos ungdomar och vuxna med cerebral pares. Studien utfördes som en litteraturstudie där 10 vetenskapliga artiklar utgjorde grunden för resultatet. Resultatet visade att faktorer som påverkar livskvaliteten var fysiska, sociala och psykiska faktorerna hos både ungdomar och vuxna personer. En sämre fysisk funktionsnivå hos personer med CP resulterade i fler hinder i vardagen, vilket påverkade livskvaliteten negativt. Mer forskning kan medföra en bättre kunskapsutveckling om livskvalitet i relation till ungdomar och vuxna med CP, vilket därefter kan leda till ett bättre vårdande inom hälso- och sjukvården. Sjuksköterskors utbildning och kunskap kring bemötande och kommunikation gentemot personer med CP kan vara viktiga faktorer för att öka livskvaliteten.The quality of life can be subjected to trials for adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy [CP] in contact with caring, within the outpatient and inpatient care. Since there is a lack of expertise in nurses, it is important to describe the quality of life for disabled adolescents and adults with CP, to perform the good caring within nursing. The purpose of this study was to describe factors that may contribute to the quality of life in adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy. The study was conducted as a literature review in which 10 scientific articles were the basis for the results. Factors that may contribute to the quality of life were the physical, social and psychical factors in both adolescents and adults. A worse physical function level in people with CP resulted in more obstacles in everyday life, affecting quality of life. More research may lead to a better knowledge about the quality of life in relation to adolescents and adults with CP, which then can influence a better care in the health care system. Nurse’s education and knowledge about treatment and communication with people with CP could be important factors in enhancing the quality of life.

Lack of understanding about their effects on urban dwellers and their capacity to play a role in promoting social well-being could diminish their benefits. With population growth in cities, park managers may need to increase the quantity and quality or diversify parks to achieve the same results. The relationship between availability and expenditure on parks and urban quality of life has received little research attention. An analysis of 75 US cities determined that park density, operational expenditure and park acreage as a percentage of the city are significantly related to average levels of income, obesity and violent crimes. Optimum park density is 49 people per acre of park. Violent crime is a key determinant of whether urban parks generate a virtuous cycle improving health and income and reducing obesity rates or a vicious cycle achieving the contrary.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate how media has followed the Parken Zoo incident and analyse how media convey the issue about the Parken Zoo incident. The different results have been compared. To answer the purpose of the study three issues has been formulated: how do the different media relate to the ideal of objectivity? Who come across and get to speak in the different media? What differences and similarities are in the media? The theories that have been used in this study are mainly McCombs theory of agenda setting, Strömbäck’s theory of framing and theory of media logic, Kovach & Rosenstiel theories of journalism and Manning’s theory of objectivity. The methods that have been used are a combination of a quantitative content analysis and a qualitative semiotic analysis. The material that has been observed in this study is newspaper articles, television news reports and television programs. The results of the quantitative analysis showed that articles of Eskiltuna Kuriren, news reports of SVT1 and the program Debatt had most objectivity in there reporting. The news reports of TV4 and program Kalla Fakta had most biased reporting of the incident. The qualitative analysis showed that SVT1 news broadcast was more objective and TV4 news broadcast was more biased. The mainly sources in the media that has been used was the other media, the president to Parken Zoo and veterinaries. The newspapers used sources from other media, like the program Kalla Fakta, then also former employees from Parken Zoo and veterinaries. SVT1 and program Debatt used more other sources, more sources from Parken Zoo. In the qualitative analysis the result showed that the news broadcast from TV4 had the focus on how the Parken Zoo takes care of the animals, that they have put to death pumas and that Helena Olsson had lied to TV4. The broadcast from SVT1 focused on the mistakes Parken Zoo had done but also how they are going to fix the problems that they have. The news broadcasts gave different kind of framing effects to the viewers.
