In a global economy and a world of increasing polarisation and unsustainable development, learning is critical to change. With most of the world's population in cities and the region increasingly the focus of measures to improve prospects, the learning region concept integrates the conflicting, diverse and complex issues of development. This thesis examines learning in networks and further develops the theory of the learning region through a case study in Melbourne, Australia. It begins with a case study of an industry network which was part of a research project - City Regions, Intelligent Territories, Innovation Competitiveness and Learning (CRITICAL). The CRITICAL research project examined learning processes in five cities and developed theory and tools to support learning regions. In this thesis the study of the industry network became the first step in a case study of the northern metropolitan regional economic development project. The study of the region demonstrated that there existed a strategic regional approach supporting local learning and action developed through projects based on local research and collaboration. The theories of 'communities of practice and 'architectures of learning' (Wenger 1998) provided the conceptual framework for the case study and proved to be a novel way to discern how learning was supported. A key finding in this thesis was how learning in networks was supported and that this led to organisational change, innovation and learning across differ ent sectors and organisations. Data was analysed using a typology of the learning region developed in the CRITICAL project and the region was found to have characteristics of a learning region although without wider connectivity across the city could only be considered a sub region. The study contributes to the body of work which demonstrates that the university can play a significant role in supporting the learning region and local engagement of key organisations, enterprises and government, and in the understanding of policy and programs to develop learning regions. The findings also contribute to innovation theory particularly with regard to networks and small to medium enterprises in manufacturing. Findings support the development of frameworks for urban regional development with the partnering of different levels of government to create new ways of operating and learning in the emerging mode of local governance partnerships and highlight the need to develop ways of measuring and understanding success or failure which capture the social, economic, cultural and environmental priorities of society.

Ett projekt som visar hur Mälardalen kan utvecklas till flerkärnig stadsregion. En hållbar stadsutveckling, med ökad närhet till naturen, ett lugnare tempo och högre livskvalitet. Bakgrunden är att befolkningen förväntas öka med 600 000 - 800 000 invånare i Stockholm-Mälarregionen till 2030. I projektet föreslår jag omfattande investeringar i infrastruktur, bland annat en Maglevbana för att knyta samman städerna kring Mälaren. Att korta restiderna mellan dessa städer är centralt för att skapa en mer integrerad arbets- och bostadsmarknad i regionen. I Stockholm kommer förbifarten att bidra till att länka samman de norra och södra förorterna, och tillsammans med Maglevbanans tre Stockholmsstationer finns grundstrukturen för Stockholms framtida utveckling. En stad med tre centrum som öppnar sig mot Mälardalen.

While the vast literature on sustainable transport emphasizes certain urban development patterns as those that should be encouraged in urban planning, it is a fact that there is an increasing tendency in many urban areas in the world towards becoming a city-region. However, whether these city-region development patterns can help attain a more sustainable urban growth and transport system is a relatively less studied area in the field of sustainable transport. In general terms, the study aims to bring together these two important fields of research in the planning literature: sustainable transport and city-regions, with a view to analyze whether they can co-exist, whether their policies comply with, and complement each other, eventually whether it is possible to attain transport sustainability in city-regions.
Regarding this aim, three aspects are identified as ‘
threats&
#8217
for the attainment of sustainable transport and land-use development in city-regions: 1.Increase in need to travel and car dependency due to increase in interactions and longer distances in city-regions, 2. Economic objectives for city-regions conflicting with objectives of sustainable transport, and 3. Difficulty in ensuring policy coordination for an integrated approach to sustainability due to fragmentation of governments. Two most effective ways of achieving sustainable transport, land-use planning policies and policies for improving public transport and non-motorized transport, are chosen as the main policy approaches to be analyzed. Through the analysis of planning experience in a selected case study area, the Izmir City Region, the study intends to find out whether these issues are real threats for attaining sustainable transport in city regions and whether they can be overcome.

The aim of this study is to examine how two of Swedish Transport Administration- regions perceive the tutorial of actions that the Swedish Transport Administration published as a template. The study examines four reports that investigate problems in the transport system. The tutorial that the Swedish transport administration presented contains guidelines regarding investigations in the transport system. The reports investigate what the problem or the lack of safety depends on. The result from the report is solutions that will solve and meet the problem. The result of this study shows that both regions follow the tutorial of actions and fulfils all the guidelines and demands. The regions present overall similar content. Although, with the same guidelines the reports are different from each other. Differences regarding presentation and the constructions of the reports is clear. The guidelines could be developed with new clarifications. New clarifications should reduce own interpretations and pander the work with reports that investigate problems in the transport system. The solutions that the reports present in the result are relevant, realistic and according to the tutorial approved as solid solutions.

Full textAbstract:
In the context of regionalism and regionalisation, the notion of a region holds sway. Discussions around the topic of how spatial entities defined as ‘regions’ form, evolve, develop, become institutionalised and sometimes stabilized have been active and profound over the last forty years. Moreover, rich and diverse literature provides different conceptualizations and problematisation of regions that have been changing over time. ‘Heterogeneous relations’ that stretch over boundaries and are not territorially fixed have been accorded an increased attention in the regional studies. This research investigates the region building process in the Alpine region and analyses different agenda-settings pursued by various stakeholders in the Alpine region. The study employs qualitative methods to analyse processes of region building by applying Paasi’s institutionalisation theory. The findings show the regional dynamics in the case under investigation and claims that the Alpine region has being transformed from a closed, bounded, territorially fixed entity to a relational one, based on not territorially fixed heterogeneous relations. This transformation leads from a relatively ‘fixed’ Alpine region (as defined by Alpine Convention) to a more fluid, unbounded and ‘fuzzy’ space – the Alpine macro-region, which is being developing.

Full textAbstract:
The representation and manipulation of visual content in a computer vision system requires a suitable abstraction of raw visual content such as pixels in an image. In this thesis, we study region-based feature representations and in particular, hierarchical segmentations because they do make no assumptions about region granularity. Hierarchical segmentations create a large feature space that increases the cost of subsequent processing in computer vision systems.
We introduce a segment filter to reduce the feature space of hierarchical segmentations by identifying unique regions in the images. The filter uses appearance-based properties of the regions and the structure of the segmentation for the selection of a small set of descriptive regions. The filter works in two phases: selection with a criteria based on relative region size and a sorting based on a variational criteria. The filter is applicable to any hierarchical segmentation algorithm, in particular to bottom-up and region growing approaches. We evaluate the filter's performance against an extensive set of ground-truth regions from a dataset containing image sequences with scenes of different complexity.
We demonstrate a novel region-to-region image matching approach as a possible application of our segment filter. A reduced segmentation tree is reconstructed based on the set of regions provided by the filtering. The reduction of the feature space by the segment filter simplifies our region-to-region matching approach. The correspondences between regions from two different images is established by a similarity measure. We use a modified mutual information measurement to compute the similarity of regions. The identified region correspondences are refined using the reduced segmentation tree. Our region-to-region matching approach is evaluated with an extensive set of ground-truth correspondences. This evaluation shows the large potential of both, our filtering and our matching approach.

Background: A large number of life science ontologies has been developed to support different application scenarios such as gene annotation or functional analysis. The continuous accumulation of new insights and knowledge affects specific portions in ontologies and thus leads to their adaptation. Therefore, it is valuable to study which ontology parts have been extensively modified or remained unchanged. Users can monitor the evolution of an ontology to improve its further development or apply the knowledge in their applications.

Dissertação apresentada na Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa para a obtenção do grau de Mestre em Engenharia Electrotécnica e de ComputadoresThis thesis proposes a new inter-domain routing protocol. The Internet's inter-domain routing protocol Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) provides a reachability solution for all domains; however it is also used for purposes outside of routing. In terms of routing BGP su ers from serious problems, such as slow routing convergence and limited scalability. The proposed architecture takes into consideration the current Internet business model and structure. It bene ts from a massively multi-homed Internet to perform multipath routing. The main foundation of this thesis was based on the Dynamic Topological Information Architecture (DTIA). We propose a division of the Internet in regions to contain the network scale where DTIA's routing algorithm is applied. An inter-region routing solution was devised to connect regions; formal proofs were made in order to demonstrate the routing convergence of the protocol. An implementation of the proposed solution was made in the network simulator 2 (ns-2). Results showed that the proposed architecture achieves faster convergence than BGP. Moreover, this thesis' solution improves the algorithm's scalability at the inter-region level, compared to the single region case.

This paper underlines the returning interest to the importance of regional studies after a period of stagnation during the last decades of the XXth century. Moreover, there are the questions related to the new geopolitical condition brought about by the globalization process and the creation of spatial webs and a-geographic links.At present, we have again the regionalization issue as part of our agenda in the land management processes, and thus, it is very alive among politicians, especially in the Less Developed countries. There is trust that the territorial changes should lead to the bettering of the political, economic, and social system of each country. However, this regional interest is not always backed by a deep knowledge of the basic theory of the «conceptual framework» to practice it.Este artículo se propone resaltar el resurgimiento de la importancia de los estudios regionales después de un período de estancamiento en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Asimismo están las preguntas que se relacionan con la nueva situación geopolítica y económica producida por el proceso de globalización y de la creación de un espacio de redes y vínculos ageográficos. Hoy, nuevamente la regionalización es un tema de agenda en los procesos de gestión territorial y por eso está muy de moda entre los políticos, especialmente de los países en desarrollo. Se confía en que los cambios territoriales deben conducir hacia el mejoramiento del sistema político, económico y social de cada país. Sin embargo, este interés regional no siempre va de la mano con un profundo conocimiento de las bases teóricas y de los conceptos que forman la «urdimbre conceptual» para la práctica.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the concept of path-dependence, this thesis examines regional representatives’ notion of rationalizations in three Swedish regions. In the provinces of Skåne and Västra Götaland the responsibility for welfare issues like health care, regional development, communications, and culture, is appointed to the two organizations Region Skåne and Västra Götalandsregionen. Both organizations are results of merger processes between old organizations called landsting, with a smaller geographical scale and less responsibility. In Svealand three landsting formally have applied for a similar fusion like the ones in Skåne and in Västra Götaland. The idea behind these fusions is that rationalizations in the field of welfare, are achieved by changing the scale of production, from lesser to larger units. This thesis shows that the perceived effect of rationalization by fusion, can take time. Old norms, values, and cultures that emanate from the landsting are for example conceived by the regional representatives in Västra Götaland and in Svealand, to prevent what kind of rationalizations the organizations are able to accomplish. In Skåne, on the contrary, the notion that the regional organization has overcome its historically defined problems, dominate. In that sense, Västra Götalandregionen and the region-building process in Svealand are path-dependent. But Region Skåne, on the other hand, has overcome its historical institutional legacy. This thesis highlights the importance of examining organization histories to be able to understand why certain decisions are hard to make, and why institutions evolve or not. This is also important to acknowledge when the regions’ representatives try to construct regions. From this perspective, the thesis tries to clarify how people’s expectations can delay what kind of rationalizations an organization can implement and how these expectations seem to legitimize what decisions the organization are able to take. The thesis also tries to clarify one way of using the concept of “path-dependence” in academic studies by the usage of ideal types.

Full textAbstract:
The Swedish regions are new phenomena, from the start from the new regionalism which started in the 1980´s. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze Region Skåne and Västra Götalandsregionen to come to a conclusion which model of region they are and want to be by using theories of regional identity and identity of politics and see similarities and differences. My research question is: Which of cultural, administrative and functional region are Region Skåne and Västra Götaland striving to construct? The methods I have used are qualitative text- and content analysis to analyze the regions, by using theories about regional identity and identity of politics. Furthermore, I am using some statistic from SOM-institutet to analyze the regional identity in the regions. The result show that Region Skåne is constructing a cultural region, because of their strong regional identity and that the politicians are using identity of politics to combine the citizens. The citizens feel a strong fellowship and share a common history and culture. However Västra Götalandsregionen is an administrative region, there their regional identity is low and do not have a common history and culture. There the politicians’ focus is on administrative things, as research and communication.

Den teoretiska utgångspunkten i studien utgörs av två kulturpolitiska modeller genom vilka jag undersöker hur kulturpolitiken har utvecklats de senaste åren, samt på vilket sätt kulturen integreras i andra samhällssektorer.
Materialet i uppsatsen har inhämtats genom intervjuer med representanter för de sex största partierna i Region Halland, samt med regionens kulturchef. Dessa intervjuer har tillsammans med en del sekundära källor legat till grund för uppsatsens empiriska del.
Det huvudsakliga resultatet i denna uppsats är att det råder en stor konsensus kring kulturpolitiken i Region Halland, oavsett partitillhörighet. Kulturen är på god väg att bli en fullständigt integrerad del i regionen, och den har stor betydelse för flera olika områden. Dessutom spelar den en avgörande roll i det regionala utvecklingsprogrammet vilket visar på att man avser att använda sig av kultur för att uppnå regional utveckling i Region Halland.

Full textAbstract:
The million degree temperature of the solar corona has been a continuing puzzle to scientists. A detailed study of energetic events such as solar flares, coronal mass ejection and solar jets may provide important clues about how changes in the magnetic activity lead to explosive eruptions in the corona and contribute to coronal heating. In this thesis, the author has studied solar jets, ubiquitous energetic transients observed in the solar atmosphere. They have been observed to originate from the edge of active regions and show signatures in different layers of the solar atmosphere. A systematic investigation has been carried out by the author to understand the temperature structure of active region jets (AR jets) by combining imaging and spectroscopic observations using the differential emission measure (DEM) technique. The study gives a new perspective to our understanding of the dynamics involved in AR jets. Multiwavelength high-resolution imaging observations from space-based telescopes such as the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument on board the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO), the X-ray Telescope (XRT) on board the Hinode satellite, and spectroscopic observations from the Extreme UV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on board the Hinode and the Interface Region Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS) were used to study the physical parameters of jets such as plasma flows, electron number densities, emission measure, peak temperature, velocities (plane-of-sky, Doppler, nonthermal) and filling factors. In addition, the relationship between AR jets and other phenomena such as photospheric magnetic activity, nonthermal type-III radio bursts and soft/hard X-ray emission has been studied using the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on board SDO, the WAVES instrument on board the Wind satellite and the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) respectively. The observations and results obtained in this study compare well with numerical simulations and theoretical models available in the literature.

In this thesis we present a new way of extracting relevant data from texts. We use the method presented in the paper by Patwardhan and Rilo (2007), with improvements of our own. Our approach modifes the input to the support vector machine, to construct a self-trained relevant sentence classi er. This classffer is used to identify relevant sentences on the MUC-4 terrorism corpus.We modify the input by removing stopwords, converting words to its stem and only using words that occur at least three times in the corpus. We also changed how each word is weighted, using TF x IDF as weighting function. By using the relevant sentence classiffer together with domain relevant extraction patterns, we achieved higher performance on the MUC-4 terrorism corpus than the original model.

Full textAbstract:
First generation image coding standards are now well-established and coders based on these standards are commercially available. However, for emerging applications, good quality at even lower bitrates is required. Ways of exploiting higher level visual information are currently being explored by the research community in order to achieve high compression. Unfortunately very high level approaches are bound to be restrictive as they are highly dependent on the accuracy of lower-level vision operations. Region-based coding only relies on mid-level image processing and thus is viewed as a promising strategy. In this work, substantial advances to the field of region-based video compression are made by considering the complete scheme. Thus, improvements to the failure regions coding and the motion compensation components have been devised. The failure region coding component was improved by predicting the texture inside the failure region from the neighbourhood of the region. A significant gain over widely used techniques such as the SA-DCT was obtained. The accuracy of the motion compensation component was increased by keeping an accurate internal representation for each region both at the encoder and the decoder side. The proposed region-based coding system is also evaluated against other systems, including the MPEG4 codec which has been recently approved by the MPEG community.

Russia has enough difficult situation with ecology, because Russia is one of the most polluted countries in the world. Economic situation exacerbates ecological one, and the severity of the prevailing negative trends is growing every day. Major rivers shallows, large amount of small rivers vanish; superficial water pollution, depletion and pollution of the groundwater, drinking water quality degradation, seas pollution, deforestation are big problems in the Russian Federation. Plowing up of turf-covered slopes, low quality agricultural methods cause accelerated soil erosion. Also there was a large degradation of the land resources in the recent years.

Full textAbstract:
Problem statement: The D-optimal design is often used in clinical research. In multi-factor clinical experiments it is natural to restrict the experiment's design space so as not to give a patient the combination of several high dose treatments simultaneously. Under such design space restrictions it is unknown what designs are D-optimal. The goal of the thesis has been to find D-optimal designs for these design spaces. Approach: Two new algorithms for finding D-optimal designs with one, two or three factors with linear models has been developed and implemented in MATLAB. Two restricted design spaces were explored. In cases when the program could not find the D-optimal design an analytic approach was used. Results: Special attention was given to the two factor model with interaction. All of the D-optimal designs for this model, N less or equal to 30, and their permutations have been listed as well as their continous designs. Conclusion: In one of the restricted design regions a simple design pattern appeared for N greater than or equal to 7. In the other restricted design region no obvious pattern was found but its continuous design could be calculated through analysis. It turned out that the number of trials at the lowest dose combination did not change when moving from the full space design to the restricted design regions.Frågeställning: D-optimala designer är vanliga i kliniska studier. När flera faktorer (läkemedel) prövas samtidigt kan det vara nödvändigt att begränsa försöksrummet så att patienterna undviker att få en hög dos av flera faktorer samtidigt. I sådana begränsade försöksrum är det okänt vilka designer som är D-optimala. Uppsatsens mål har varit att hitta D-optimala designer i begränsade försöksrum. Metod: Två nya algoritmer för att hitta D-optimala designer med en, två eller tre dimensioner och linjära modeller har utvecklats och implementerats i MATLAB. Två begränsade försöksrum har utforskats. I de fall då MATLAB-programmet inte kunde hitta de D-optimala designerna användes analytiska metoder. Resultat: Analys av en tvåfaktormodell med interaktion utforskades särskilt noggrant. Alla D-optimala designer och permutationer av dessa i de båda begränsade försöksrummen har listats för alla N mindre än eller lika med 30, samt även deras kontinuerliga designer. Slutsats: För det ena försöksrummet upptäcktes ett mönster i designen då N är större än eller lika med 7. I det andra försöksrummet upptäcktes inget mönster och det krävdes således analytiska metoder för att finna dess kontinuerliga design. Det visade sig att antalet försök i den lägsta doskombinationen förblev oförändrat då man bytte från det fulla designrummet till de båda begränsade designrummen.

Full textAbstract:
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) infördes 2018 i syfte att skapa en likvärdig och enhetlig nivå för skyddet av personuppgifter. GDPR ersatte personuppgiftslagen (PUL). Lagen behövde implementeras på alla arbetsplatser och offentliga organisationer som behandlade personuppgifter. Implementering är genomförandet av till exempel politiska beslut så som lagar och reformer. Syftet var att undersöka vårdadministratörers upplevelse av implementeringen av GDPR. Metoden som användes var en enkätundersökning som genomfördes online. Mejl skickades till verksamhetschefer som fick besluta om vårdadministratörerna hade möjlighet att genomföra undersökningen. Nio respondenter besvarade enkäten. Resultat från fördjupningsarbetet visade att vårdadministratörer upplevde att de hade begränsat med information och stöd från arbetsgivaren vid implementeringen av GDPR. Arbetsbördan hade till stor del inte ändrats, men av vissa upplevdes den tyngre kring införandet av GDPR. Stor del av vårdadministratörer hade dålig kunskap om GDPR vid implementeringen. Hälften av vårdadministratörer visste inte riktigt vad ett dataskyddsombud var och hälften visste inte var de skulle vända sig om behovet av ett sådant fanns. Inga slutsatser kan dras utifrån resultatet av fördjupningsarbetet då urvalet var begränsat.

Jag diskuterar dessa resultat i relation till frågeställningarna samt de svar jag fickfrån informanterna. Slutsatsen som kunde dras utifrån resultaten i undersökningen var attannonserna skulle kunna framställas som mer lockande för målgruppen om de brukade meravärdeord och yrkesspecifika ord relaterade till sjuksköterskor.

Full textAbstract:
Hållbarhet är ett begrepp som fått ökad betydelse i samhället på senare tid, då det finns krav på att aktörer ska ta sitt samhällsansvar. Därmed har intresset ökat för hur arbetet kring hållbarhet ska genomföras. Styrning, som innebär åtgärder som görs inom en organisation i syfte att uppnå målen, blir då ett viktigt verktyg i arbetet mot hållbarhet. Det förekommer begränsad forskning kring hållbarhet inom den offentliga sektor, vilket gör det intressant att studera en region, som är del av den offentliga sektorn Det förekommer viss forskning om styrning mot hållbarhet, men det finns en brist i att studera styrning och hållbarhet som ett gemensamt koncept och orsakerna till de utmaningarna som finns. Tidigare forskning visar därmed att det krävs ökad förståelse för styrning mot hållbarhet inom regioner. Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva hur en region arbetar med styrning mot hållbarhet, dessutom syftar studien till att få en djupare förståelse för vilka utmaningar som kan förekomma i styrningen mot en hållbar organisation. Studien utgörs av en fallstudie av Region Värmland, där datainsamlingen består av sex intervjuer med tjänstepersoner på Region Värmland samt granskning av sju dokument. Studien visar att Region Värmland använder en del olika styrmedel som innehar olika bidragande egenskaper. Däremot ses styrdokument och kommunikation som de centrala styrmedlen. Vidare finns det olika orsaker till att det förekommer utmaningar att integrera de tre hållbarhetsaspekterna. En del av orsakerna hänger samman, men det är svårt att enbart peka på en orsak som påverkar svårigheten att uppnå en integration mellan de tre aspekterna.Sustainability is a concept that has become increasingly important in society recently, as there are requirements for actors to take their social responsibility. As a result, the work with sustainability has increased. Governance, which involves measures taken within an organization in order to achieve the goals, thus becomes an important tool in the works towards sustainability. There is limited research about sustainability in the public sector, which makes it an interesting field to study. There is some research on governance towards sustainability, but there is a lack of studies of governance and sustainability as a common concept and the reasons for the difficulties that exist. Previous research also shows that a better understanding of governance towards sustainability within regions is required. The purpose of this study is to describe how a region works with governance towards sustainability and to give an account of the challenges that may occur in the governance towards becoming a sustainability region. The study consists of a case study of Region Värmland, where the data collection consists of sex interviews with officials at Region Värmland and a review of seven documents. The study shows that Region Värmland uses a number of different regulatory documents, which have different contributing characteristics. On the other hand, the study shows that regulatory documents and communication are seen as central instruments. Furthermore, there are various reasons why there are challenges in integrating the three sustainability aspects. Some of the causes are interconnected, but it is difficult to choose only one cause that affects the difficulty of achieving an integration between the three aspects.

Braim, Kadhim Magdid. "Managing cultural tourism in a post-conflict region : the Kurdistan Federal Region of Iraq." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2018. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/48705/.
Full textAbstract:
During any period marked by conflict, potential investors (domestic and foreign) are reluctant to invest in the tourism sector of a country or region, owing to weak investor protection and the general climate of instability, in parallel with the lack of comprehensive planning for the tourism industry. Moreover, after a period of conflict, major challenges have to be faced in rebuilding the social, cultural, educational, service and economic infrastructure. Thus, the tourism industry in conflict and post-conflict areas often suffers a number of challenges, in the form of poor infrastructure, low investment and a lack of proper tourism management planning, or, poor implementation. In the case of the Kurdistan Federal Region of Iraq (KFR), conflict caused major challenges to heritage protection and consequently to the development of cultural tourism. The region was subject to ethnic conflict between the Iraqi government and Kurdish opposition, in particular the armed conflict in 1961 to 2003. There was lack investment in transport infrastructure. The absence of essential facilities such as motorways, rail networks and airports severely restricted the development of a tourism industry from 1991 (the year in which Kurdish autonomy in the region was achieved) to 2005 (when the KFR was officially recognised in Iraq's Constitution of 2005) and continued until 2006. Thereafter, the tourism industry recorded an increase of approximately 700% from 2007 to 2013, after the building of two international airports and thousands of miles of motorways in the KFR. However, so far, in the KFR, no consideration has been given to the conservation of cultural heritage, either as a legacy to the nation or in terms of its potential use to develop tourism. This underdevelopment is attributable to a number of problems, but notably the conflict, which led to the lack of an integrated tourism policy, lack of knowledge on how to protect heritage assets, poor infrastructure and low investment. The preservation of heritage assets has been discussed in the literature, but mostly the focus is on preservation of resources in the context of sustainable tourism (often in the context of over-utilization), and there is a lack of studies undertaken to investigate how post-conflict issues affect the protection of heritage assets, that is, what the potential challenges are to the conservation of heritage assets in post-conflict countries, and how these challenges impact on the future potential for cultural tourism development. This thesis investigates how post-conflict issues affect heritage protection and cultural tourism, in terms of both planning and management, by exploring heritage protection and cultural tourism in the KFR as an example of both a post-conflict area and a new autonomous region. It suggests solutions and makes recommendations for the development of successful, competitive and sustainable cultural heritage tourism in the KFR. The results show that the KFR is rich in cultural resources, but currently not enough governmental consideration is given to cultural heritage conservation. The managerial issues caused by lack of legislation and poor government administration, in parallel with some other challenges, notably a lack of funding, are the core barriers to investment in heritage protection in the KFR, and consequently creating major problems to the development of cultural tourism. Other issues include: a lack of investment and poor implementation, a negative destination image and marketing difficulties. The findings will help decision makers to develop a strategy for cultural protection and to establish a proper cultural tourism policy in the KFR through recommendations to government. The findings will also be of interest to other post-conflict nations and regions. The thesis reports data from a series of focus groups and in-depth interviews conducted in 2015 and 2017.

Full textAbstract:
Contaminated sites in low prioritized regions demand remediation technologies that are cost- and energy-effective and locally adapted. Parameters such as the time frame during which bioremediation degradation needs to occur may not be as restraining as in urban environments. This licentiate project aims to explore opportunities and constraints for appropriate soil remediation based on organic by-products in tropical developing countries and sparsely populated areas in industrial countries. Ecological Engineering and the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development were explored as planning tools to steer bioremediation methods towards sustainability. The use of the five concepts of Ecological Engineering within the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development can steer bioremediation in low prioritized regions towards sustainability. Pilot-scale and laboratory experiments were undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of such bioremediation methods. Experiments carried out at the experiment station in Chontales, Nicaragua showed some promising results, but also revealed problems associated with the clay rich soils, which are typical for tropical regions. Treatment of diesel contaminated ultisol with 6 mL whey kg-1 dw in a pilot-scale experiment considerably increased the degradation rate of diesel constituents, but no effects on the degradation rates were observed after treatment with compost tea or pyroligneous acid.The soil columns study suggests that despite a favorable particle size distribution for microbial transport, the sandy loam retained a greater fraction of the microorganisms present in the ACT in the top 10 cm than the clay loam, presumably because the lower bulk density and higher SOM in the clay loam aided transport and growth of microorganisms.

It analyzes the relationship between territorial dynamics in land use and changes in the hydrological regime in the Central region of Costa Rica. A comparison is made between two years and the results showed that this process has been intense from one year to another. The urban and industrial heavy pressure on the most fertile soils of the country, has led to changes inthe hydrological regime of the two major sub-basins: Virilla and Grande de San Ramón, both of which constitute the Basin of Grande de Tarcoles River. The sub-basin of the Virilla Rivercan not store rainfall, especially considering that a large percentage of its area is covered byland uses of urban type. In contrast, the sub-basin of the Grande de San Ramón River retains a higher percentage of water, having land uses dominated by pasture, crops, and forests. In synthesis, several land uses increase their area, especially urban areas, with the major exception of the forest area which was reduced considerably.Se analiza la relación entre la dinámica territorial en el uso de la tierra con respecto a los cambios en el régimen hidrológico en la región central de Costa Rica. Se hace una comparación entre dos años y se encontró que tal proceso ha sido muy intenso de un año al otro. La fuerte presión urbanística e industrial sobre los suelos más fértiles del país, ha provocado modificaciones en el régimen hidrológico de las dos principales subcuencas hidrográficas: Virilla y Grande de SanRamón, ambas conforman la cuenca del río Grande de Tárcoles. La subcuenca del río Virilla no logra almacenar el agua pluvial, especialmente si se considera que un alto porcentaje de su área está cubierta por usos de tierra de tipo urbano. Por el contrario, la subcuenca del río Grande de San Ramón logra retener un mayor porcentaje de aguas, al tener usos de la tierra dominados por pastos, cultivos y bosque. En síntesis, varios de los usos de la tierra incrementan su área, en especial el área urbana, con la gran excepción del área de bosques que se redujo considerablemente.

Full textAbstract:
Organic molecules adsorbed on inorganic substrates are the topics of interest in this thesis. Interfaces of this kind are found in dye sensitized solar cells that convert solar energy to electricity, a promising environmentally friendly energy source which might provide a route to replace fossil fuels. Another field where these interfaces play a role is in molecular electronics, an approach to solve the down scaling in the ever increasing hunt for miniaturized electronic devices. The motivation for this work lies among other in these applications and surface science is a suitable approach to investigate the electronic and morphologic properties of the interfaces as it provides detailed knowledge on an atomic level. Phthalocyanines are the organic molecules investigated and the inorganic substrates range from wide band gap via narrow band gap semiconductors to metals. Photoelectron and X-ray spectroscopy experiments are performed to shed light on the electronic properties of the adsorbed molecules and the substrate, as well as the chemical interaction between adsorbate and substrate at the interface. The ordering of the adsorbate at the interface is important as ordered molecular thin films may have other properties than amorphous films due to the anisotropic electronic properties of the organic molecules; this is investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. We find that the phthalocyanines are affected by adsorption when the substrate is TiO2 or Ag, where charge transfer from the molecule occurs or an interface state is formed respectively. The molecules are adsorbed flat on these surfaces giving a large contact area and a relatively strong bond. On Ag, ordered structures appear with different symmetry depending on initial coverage. The reactivity of the TiO2 surface is not ideal in the solar cell application and by modifying the surface with a thin organic layer, the negative influence on the adsorbed phthalocyanine is reduced. ZnO is not as reactive as TiO2, thanks maybe to the upright adsorption mode of the phthalocyanines. The semiconductor InSb is less reactive leading to self-assembled molecular structures on the (001) surface, either homogenously distributed in a one monolayer thick film or in strands along the reconstruction rows. InAs on the other hand has a larger influence on the adsorbed molecules resulting in a metallic film upon thermal treatment.QC 20100812

Full textAbstract:
Die Gegend um Leipzig stellt sachsenweit die waldärmste Region dar. Vor diesem Hintergrund verwundert es nicht, dass landesweite Pläne und Programme den Schwerpunkt der Waldvermehrung in Sachsen strikt in diese Region lenken, in der mittlerweile seit über 30 Jahren um mehr Wald gerungen wird. Auch die aktuellste Fassung des Landesentwicklungs-plans 2012, gegenwärtig noch als Entwurf vorliegend, verweist auf die Leipziger Region, wenn es darum geht, den im Bundesvergleich unterdurchschnittlichen Waldanteil Sachsens von gegenwärtig 28,5 % auf 30 % der Landesfläche zu erhöhen. Potential wird hierbei vor allem in der sich immer noch in Rekultivierung befindlichen Bergbaufolgelandschaft des Leipziger Südens sowie in der ausgeräumten Agrarlandschaft des ländlich geprägten Raums gesehen. Initiativen und Bestrebungen, den Waldanteil der Region langfristig zu erhöhen, sind tief in der Geschichte verankert und werden von den verschiedensten Akteuren getragen. In den 1970er Jahren waren es die Staatlichen Forstbetriebe, die im Zuge der Sanierung einer devastierten Tagebaulandschaft ausgedehnte Waldgebiete neu entstehen ließen und der Bevölkerung im Ballungsraum Leipzig damit wieder eine attraktive Erholungslandschaft schaffen wollten. Ab Mitte der 90er Jahre ging der Zuwachs neuer Waldgebiete spürbar zurück und beschränkt sich seit dem auf die Aufforstung kleinerer Flächen in Streulagen. Aus der Sicht vieler Forstfachleute wird diese Tatsache als äußerst unbefriedigend eingeschätzt. Mittlerweile besteht dagegen die Vermutung, dass sich der jährliche Waldflächenzuwachs in der Waage mit einem zunehmenden Waldflächenverlust hält und dass das ursprüngliche Ziel der Waldmehrung dem der Erhaltung des vorhandenen Waldes gewichen ist. Aus diesem Grunde haftet der Region um Leipzig zunehmend das Charakteristikum einer planungs-dynamischen Region an, in der in kurzer Zeit Flächennutzungsarten wechseln und Pläne geändert werden. Erschwert wird die Waldvermehrung aber nicht nur durch wirtschaftliche und Gemeinwohlinteressen, sondern vor allem durch naturschutzrechtliche Vorgaben der Europäischen Union, die "runtergebrochen" auf die Regionalebene zu erheblichen Konflikten im Bestreben um mehr Wald führen. Hinzu kommt ein enorm wachsender Flächenverlust, so dass Landwirte der Region zunehmend nicht mehr bereit sind, ihr wertvolles Ackerland für eine Aufforstung bereit zu stellen. Ein eigens dafür konstruiertes, agrarpolitisches Förderinstrument der Europäischen Union, das landwirtschaftliche Flächennutzer zu einer Aufforstung auf ihrem Grund und Boden bewegen und die Waldvermehrung in Sachsen vorantreiben soll, wird kaum in Anspruch genommen.

Lau, Keng San. "Multiple Transit Region Gunn Diode." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2006. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.485888.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines the DC and RF performance of double transit region Gunn diodes (DTGD) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for possible application in the automotive industry. DC and RF measurements are described and evidence prcscntcd to support the contention that coherent domain nucleation is occurring in the double transit devices. A single transit, digitally doped Gunn diode grown by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) was also investigated and is shown to be able to produce coherent RF oscillations. Monte Carlo simulations showed no adverse effects from the digitally doped region to the formation of GUlln domain. This is further supported using a simple model to show the effects of a digital doping region on the electric field profile. Knowledge of the temperature dependence of gallium arsenide ionisation coefficients would provide a better understanding of the breakdown mechanism in DTGDs. DTGDs are vulnerable to breakdown due to thermal stress, which is further exacerbated by the impact ionisation process. These coefficients can be inferred from multiplication and excess noise factor measurements. A noise measurements system is described, and is shown to be able to measure from a photoccurent of 0.22 llA onwards, the lowest reported so far. The system was modified using the bootstrap technique, and is shown to be able to measure devices of differing capacitance and can be adapted for measurements in a cryostat, thus allowing the temperature characterisation of excess noise factors to be made.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICONeste trabalho são apresentados de uma pesquisa orientada à modelagem da turbulência de baixos números de Reynolds. Com esse objetivo foi caracterizado o escoamento turbulento de baixos números de Reynolds na região viscosa vizinha a uma parede, na base de dados experimentais e correlação empírica. Sobre essa caracterização foi feita uma análise dos valores médios de interesse para modelos de turbulência de duas equações, a qual permitiu obter conclusões sobre o comportamento da turbulência de baixos Reynolds e propor modelos para a mesma. Essa modelagem implica em fornecer um fechamento para a equação de dissipação de energia cinética turbulenta e uma expressão para a viscosidade efetiva da turbulência, na região viscosa. O fechamento da equação de dissipação foi feito analisando os termos fontes de vorticidade, usando resultados prévios da ordem de grandeza relativa dos mesmos. A equação de dissipação obtida desse modo não contém funções de amortecimento. Com relação à expressão proposta para calcular a viscosidade efetiva de turbulência, considera-se que a transferência de quantidade de movimento devido à turbulência pode ser obtida em função da energia cinética do escoamento médio. Considera-se que a modelagem proposta é uma complementação para modelos de turbulência de duas equações, para simular zonas de baixos Reynolds incluídos os casos em sub-camada logarítmica aparente. Problemas de escoamentos turbulentos com cisalhamento médio com diferentes características, usualmente utilizadas para avaliar modelos de turbulência, foram usados como testes. Como resultados relevantes desta pesquisa, considera-se o fato de se usar em forma sistemática informação experimental para o desenvolvimento de modelos de turbulência, a obtenção de um fechamento para a equação de dissipação sem funções de amortecimento e uma expressão para a viscosidade da turbulência na região viscosa. No caso da viscosidade da turbulência, a expressão proposta permite obter a distribuição da velocidade média na região amortecedora, apresentando boa concordância com dados experimentais.
This thesis presents the results of research work aiming at low Reynolds turbulence modeling. For an stablished boundary layer turbulent low Reynolds flow in the viscous layer near a wall was characterized based on experimental data and empirical polynomials. On this basis an analysis of the distribuition of the mean values in the near-wall region was performed allowing for the proposal of a low Reynolds turbulence model within a two-equation model methodolgy. The low Reynolds proposal involves a closure to the dissipation equation and the proposal of an effective turbulence viscosity expression. The dissipation equation closure like as the effective viscosity proposal were made based on previous results of scale time rate analysis through the viscous region. On the other hand, the effective turbulence viscosity expression allows for the representation of the Reynolds stress as a function of mean flow kinetic energy. The low Reynolds turbulence modeling proposal can be seen as a complementation of two eqaution models for low Reynolds turbulence. The model was tested in several case tests of turbulent flow with different kind of mean shear, frequently used for turbulence model assessment. As main results of this work can be mentioned the systematic use of experimental data to build, analyze and test turbulence models; the closure of the dissipation equation without damping functions and the turbulence effective viscosity expression for the viscous region. This last proposed relation allows for the attainment of a mean velocity distribuition profile in the buffer region, which adequately fits experimental data.

La place des regions, collectivites territoriales au sein du paysage administratif francais, semble encore aujourd'hui entachee d'ambiguite. La definition meme de la nature de la structure n'est, a cet egard d'ailleurs, pas sans soulever de questions. Associees depuis la conception au concept d'administration de mission, les regions semblent continuer de se reconnaitre en lui. Or, on peut raisonnablement douter aujourd'hui de l'adequation reelle du concept avec d'une part. , le statut juridique nouveau des regions et d'autre part, avec les pratiques qu'elles developpent depuis leur mutation statutaire. C'est pourquoi le constat de la difficulte a classer l'institution nous permet alors de poser quelques propositions de prospectives institutionnellesThe place of the "regions", territorial collectivity of french "administration" still seems to be equivocal. Even the definition of nature of this decentralized structure is problematic. Associated since its birth with the french notion of "administration de mission", the "regions" still seem to recognize themselves in this conception. However we can reasonnably have a doubt about the conformity of this idea with, on the one hand the new legal and regional statute and on the other hand, the practises they spread out from their statutory change. That's why, the certified difficulties to situate this institution can afford us to make some propositions connected with a new administrative organization in france
