Abstract:

Insider threat by employees in organizations is a problematic issue in today’s fast-paced, internet-driven society. Gone are the days when securing the perimeter of one’s network protected their business. Security threats are now mobile, and employees have the ability to share sensitive business data with hundreds of people instantaneously from mobile devices. While prior research has addressed social networking topics such as trust in relation to information systems, the use of social networking sites, social networking security, and social networking sharing, there is a lack of research in the mindfulness of users who spill sensitive data contained within images posted on social networking sites (SNS). The author seeks to provide an understanding of how non-malicious spillage through images relates to the mindfulness of employees, who are also deemed insiders. Specifically, it explores the relationships between the following variables: mindfulness, proprietary information spillage, and spillage of personally identifiable information (PII). A quasi-experimental study was designed, which was correlational in nature. Individuals were the unit of analysis. A sample population of business managers with SNS accounts were studied. A series of video vignettes were used to measure mindfulness. Surveys were used as a tool to collect and analyze data. There was a positive correlation between non-malicious spillage of sensitive business, both personally identifiable information and proprietary data, and a lack of mindfulness.

Abstract:

Environmental concern due to handling of hazardous chemicals is growing. This issue drawsstakeholder attentions more than before to risks associated with accidental spillage in industryor traffic. This study aims at addressing the risks resulting from the spillage of one metrictonne nonylphenol from an imaginary traffic accident.The environmental risk assessment approach outlined in this study attempts to address theconcern for the potential impact of hazardous substances on the environment by examiningboth exposures and effects of such incidents on the structure and function of the ecosystem.Nonylphenol has been selected as the discharged contaminant in this thesis for these reasons.It is an organic liquid with low vapour pressure. It is not produced in Sweden. About 2400tonnes are imported yearly. It is mainly used for making nonylphenol ethoxylates, which havea wide use as detergents, emulsifiers, lubricants and additives in a variety of industries. It isreleased from the ethoxylates in waste water. There are some published reports on its toxicityas well as endocrine property to species.In this study the exposure concentrations are predicted through developing a multimedia fateexposuremodel for the Göta älv fresh water ecosystem. It is a dynamic version of QMXfugacitymodel applicable for river basins. This fate model is integrated with a simplified foodweb model in order to quantify the extent of nonylphenol concentration in organisms.Moreover the dose response correlation derived from the most validated experimental studiesis utilized to estimate Predicted No Effect Concentration for aquatic ecosystem.The probability of accidental spillage of nonylphenol is extremely low and is not part of thisstudy. On the other hand the consequence of spillage affecting the ecosystem is treated fromseveral aspects, mainly by using the PEC/PNEC ratio. In the aquatic ecosystem pelagic (freewater) and benthic (bottom zone) organisms are studied.Estimated risk concerning the spillage suggests that acute toxicity among pelagic organisms isplausible up river especially in the Trollhättan region. However sub-lethal effects such asreproduction and growth inhibition will probably be observed all along the river with mostconcern in up river. In the sediment phase the benthic organisms are shown to be put at riskfor a prolonged period of time and organisms may suffer from chronic toxicity. In addition thesediment acts as a sink for contaminant with potential release of the hazardous substance.However, it is difficult to predict a full extent of adverse consequences. But it seems that sublethaleffects on benthos and consequent side effects on other populations should beconcluded as the most important direct consequence of a nonylphenol spillage.

Abstract:

The key objective of this multi-disciplinary research was to seek for feasible solutions to avoid effluent from livestock trucks spilling onto roads. Stock effluent spillage mainly poses road safety hazards and environmental damage, and also causes offence to road users and tourists. This task required reviewing previous institutional actions, assessing the power of the existing legislation, and evaluating the interests and attitudes of the stakeholder groups involved in the overall livestock supply chain. It was also necessary to consider politics, administration, public policy and economics, gaining the willing cooperation and confidence of the stakeholder groups through application of 'Soft Systems Methodology' (SSM). A key component was the creation of a 13 minute video and its associated brochure as a primary tool for a stakeholder educational awareness programme. It was necessary to analyse the complex relationships between livestock preparation prior to transport; effluent produced in-transit; and end product quality factors. Detailed information pertaining to the nature of livestock shipments by truck in the South Island of New Zealand had to be collected and verified. All the above information were fed into the calculation of an ideal network of in-transit effluent discharge sites on State Highways in the South Island of New Zealand. Assuming the adoption of best practice throughout the supply chain, it was possible to recommend sustainable solutions. The problem is amenable to solution. Adoption of a strong Industry Code of Practice, coupled with the construction of a strategic network of dump sites will enable the industry to avoid the heavy-handed legal consequences of allowing the status quo to continue.

Full text

Abstract:

Supersonic inlet starting by mass spillage is studied theoretically and numerically in the present thesis. A quasi-one-dimensional, quasi-steady theory is developed for the analysis of flow inside a perforated inlet. The theory results in closed-form relations applicable to flow starting by the mass spillage technique in supersonic and hypersonic inlets.
The theory involves three parameters to incorporate the multi-dimensional nature of mass spillage through a wall perforation. Mass spillage through an individual slot is studied to determine these parameters; analytical expressions for these parameters are derived for both subsonic and supersonic flow conditions. In the case of mass spillage from supersonic flows, the relations are exact. However, due to the complexity of flow field, the theory is an approximation for subsonic flows. Therefore, a correction factor is introduced which is determined from an empirical relation obtained from numerical simulations.
A methodology is also proposed to determine perforation size and distribution to achieve flow starting for a given inlet at a desired free-stream Mach number. The problem of shock stability inside a perforated inlet designed with the proposed method is also discussed.
The method is demonstrated for some test cases. Time-realistic CFD simulations and experimental results in the literature confirm the accuracy of the theory and the reliability of the proposed design methodology.

Full text

Abstract:

Air intake related aerodynamic aspects of an air breathing cruise missile are analyzed. A method for thrust and drag accounting is established, and, based on that, a partial simulation model for the thrust and intake spillage drag force of the missile is developed. The model combines wind tunnel data with analytical data. The intake spillage force has two components, pre entry force and cowl force. The pre entry force can be computed relatively easily, while the cowl force depends strongly upon actual intake geometry and no general method exists. An approximate cowl force is computed based on available data. The accuracy of the cowl drag results is difficult to predict, as no complete theoretical model is available, and the partial models published cite no accuracy limits. The cowl drag results need further verification through wind tunnel tests or CFD analysis. However, spillage force results are produced that are in the magnitude of 30% of total drag, which is expected. Also, dependencies on known variables and trends are as expected. Finally, flight test profiles in order to validate the model are suggested.

Abstract:

Melbourne, the capital of Victoria Australia leads the world in having the highest quality drinking water. The Victorian State Government has set targets for reducing per capita water consumption by 15%, 25% and 30% by 2010, 2015 and 2020 respectively and has announced stringent water restrictions to curtail water demand. In this resource constraint environment it is opportune to look for alternative sources of water to supplement Melbourne's traditional water supply. In Melbourne, legislation has been changed to make it possible to use rainwater harvested from domestic tanks for non potable purposes. The annual rainfall in Melbourne's metropolitan area varies from 450mm in the West to 850mm in the East to over 1000mm in the North East mountain ranges. The objectives of the current study are to develop a methodology to estimate the optimal size of the rainwater tank at a particular location considering the local rainfall, roof area, demand for water and the reliability of supply (supply security) required; to quantify the rainwater volume that could be harvested at site using domestic rainwater tanks to minimise pressure on the potable water supply secured from traditional catchment sources until the desalination plant is commissioned in 2013; to analyse the efficacy of rainwater tanks to reduce the stormwater runoff and improve the quality of the stormwater that will otherwise flow into urban drains and to estimate the cost effectiveness ratio and payback period of inst alling rainwater tanks. A simple water balance model was developed to calculate the tank size based on daily rainfall, roof area and the expected demand. The concept of 'reliability' was introduced to measure supply security. Rainfall data from 20 rainfall stations scattered around Melbourne were used to determine the variation in the rainwater tank size dependent on the above stated parameters. It was observed that to achieve the same supply reliability (90%) and to meet a specific demand (toilet and garden use), the tank size required in the western side of Melbourne is as high as 7 times as that required in the north-east side.

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to verify the effectiveness of the electrical resistivity method in the study and monitoring of the pollutant dispersion and migration in the soil. In this particular study, Diesel has been used as the detection pollutant and a laboratory model was created in a tank comprised of a bottom clay layer covered by a sandy layer. Two narrow sectors separated by a permeable screen was included to allow permanent groundwater flow through the soil. In addiction, a permeable reactive barrier was made in the model with an oxygen release compound (i.e. ORC-Advanced by Regenesis®). When the model was used in the laboratory a mini electrical resistivity array was used to monitor the electrical resistivity properties that the media displayed.

Full text

Abstract:

Background and Aims The accurate differentiation between a delayed pharyngeal swallow (sensory impairment) and premature spillage secondary to poor oro-lingual control (motor impairment) is essential to effective dysphagia management. However both physiologic abnormalities result in an identical radiographic sign, that of pre-swallow pooling of the bolus in the pharynx. The dysphagia literature does not provide satisfactory guidelines for making this distinction on videofluoroscopy. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of a three-part rating scale for differentiating between these two impairments. Methods Videofluoroscopy was used to evaluate the swallowing of 29 participants presenting with dysphagia following stroke. Sensory thresholds for these participants were established by electrical stimulation of the anterior faucial pillars. The videofluoroscopic swallowing studies were analysed using the three-part rating scale and results from this were compared to sensory thresholds using Pearson's product moment correlation. Results There was no significant correlation between the three-part criteria and sensory thresholds. Inter-rater reliability for some measures was poor. Conclusions The three-part criteria was not shown to be a valid measure for differentiating between delayed pharyngeal swallow and premature spillage secondary to poor oro-lingual control. Possible explanations for these findings are discussed, including the relevance of faucial pillar sensation to swallowing.

Sako, Esther Bridget. "Public Health Implications of Oil Pollution in Koluama: Nigeria." ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/3259.

Full text

Abstract:

As the global demand for oil increases, human health implications related to its discovery and transport remain a serious concern. The Niger Delta has been the site of severe environmental degradation since the oil boom of the 1970s. While some researchers have examined the environmental effects of oil procurement, few have explored human health implications in this region. This phenomenological study investigated the human physical and mental health consequences of oil-related environmental degradation through the perceptions and lived experiences of villagers in Koluama, Nigeria. The conceptual framework for the study was based on research conducted by Morello-Frosch, Zuk, Jerrett, Shamasunder and Kyle (2011) on the public health consequences of environmental pollution to which marginalized populations are vulnerable. Participants included a random sample of 33 residents of Koluama. Data were collected via individual semistructured interviews and 3 focus groups and analyzed using: interpretative phenomenological analysis. Themes that emerged from analysis included children's health issues, including asthma and other breathing problems; and death rates among the elderly in the area. The villagers, aware of the increase in mortality and illness in the area, also suffered from anxiety and depression. The research findings demonstrated the perception of the participants that the oil companies appeared not to be concerned about the lack of health care in the area; although illness increased in the area of the oil fields. This study might be beneficial in eliciting positive social change at the individual and organizational levels by illuminating oil-related health problems and may lead to better health care access for the population.

Full text

Abstract:

The goal of this study is to examine the environmental impacts of oil and gas exploration and production (E&P), the roles of legislation, and the environmental management strategies in the petroleum industry with respect to the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The study seeks to suggest sustainable solutions to the endemic economic, social, and environmental problems associated with oil and gas E&P in the region. The focus is on the environmental control in the upstream (E&P) operations of the oil and gas industry as it affects the Niger Delta region of Nigeria with a view to proffering sustainable solutions.

The heavily polluting activities and environmental impacts of the upstream oil and gas operations in the Niger Delta have over the years taken a routine dimension and are endemic as a result of inadequate environmental legislations and ineffective enforcements. Sequel to these environmental impacts is militancy, adoption of expatriates, communal conflicts, inter-ethnic conflicts, human right abuses, restiveness and other social vices as the study reveals. These social and environmental impacts of oil and gas activities in this region bring impoverishment, abject poverty, hunger, squalor, birth disease, gene mutation, and death while exposing inhabitants of the region to afflictions and diseases as the study explicitly documents.

The study also reveals that the persistence rate of unrest, restiveness, militancy and other social vices is as a result of non-dialogue status between the different stakeholders, lack of infrastructural development, lack of basic amenities, high rate of unemployment, poor policy construct, federalized mineral right / resource ownership structure, and the monopolistic nature of Nigeria’s foreign exchange earning in petroleum resources.

In this dissertation, both proactive and corrective measures to curb the menace of the social, economic and environmental impacts of oil and gas exploration & production operations in Nigeria are presented and discussed with suggestions to sustainable solution and development, better environmental legislation, and better resource policy construct while advocating for good industrial practices in the petroleum industry with emphasis on the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.

Abstract:

Nowadays, power systems are dealing with some new challenges raisedby the major changes that have been taken place since 80’s, e.g., deregu-lation in electricity markets, significant increase of electricity demands andmore recently large-scale integration of renewable energy resources such aswind power. Therefore, system operators must make some adjustments toaccommodate these changes into the future of power systems.One of the main challenges is maintaining the system stability since theextra stress caused by the above changes reduces the stability margin, andmay lead to rise of many undesirable phenomena. The other important chal-lenge is to cope with uncertainty and variability of renewable energy sourceswhich make power systems to become more stochastic in nature, and lesscontrollable.Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) have emerged as a solutionto help power systems with these new challenges. This thesis aims to ap-propriately utilize such devices in order to increase the transmission capacityand flexibility, improve the dynamic behavior of power systems and integratemore renewable energy into the system. To this end, the most appropriatelocations and settings of these controllable devices need to be determined.This thesis mainly looks at (i) rotor angle stability, i.e., small signal andtransient stability (ii) system operation under wind uncertainty. In the firstpart of this thesis, trajectory sensitivity analysis is used to determine themost suitable placement of FACTS devices for improving rotor angle sta-bility, while in the second part, optimal settings of such devices are foundto maximize the level of wind power integration. As a general conclusion,it was demonstrated that FACTS devices, installed in proper locations andtuned appropriately, are effective means to enhance the system stability andto handle wind uncertainty.The last objective of this thesis work is to propose an efficient solutionapproach based on Benders’ decomposition to solve a network-constrained acunit commitment problem in a wind-integrated power system. The numericalresults show validity, accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the perceived incompatibility of incorporating feminist values into the hard-boiled detective novel. Critical responses to this crime form have argued that it endorses a formulaic, misogynistic violence. My argument is that this is a literature that offers women writers the means to express female agency and empowerment, through a genre that changes to fulfil current social needs. Through the work of Raymond Chandler and Micky Spillane I establish the model of the ‘tough guy’ detective as a product of the moment of writing, reflecting contemporaneous gender anxieties. Fundamental to this analysis is the concept of a ‘surrogate public history’, through which society promulgates mythological constructs to salve or remedy social unease. My proposition is that early hard-boiled texts contributed to a surrogate public history in which the mythology of the male detective was embraced as both desirable and necessary. Subsequently women crime writers of the 1980s and 1990s have adopted this gendered space, offering a powerful commentary on the condition of women through a surrogate public history that allows us to see how women are bound by a social contract that divides public and private spheres in gendered terms. Through a careful deployment of the detective’s voice, authors such as Linda Barnes, Sue Grafton and Sarah Dunant, examine social inequalities and question how femininity is defined. These authors are defined as ‘gestic’ writers, who by giving precedence to the minutiae of the everyday open up to inquiry the practices by which women’s lives are regulated. Additionally I examine the work of Val McDermid and Jenny Siler to consider what this extraordinarily mobile form can stretch to incorporate. Siler in particular reveals the capacity of the hard-boiled form to reject normative gender assumptions through a central investigative figure whose outlaw status challenges social expectations of femininity.

Abstract:

Handheld devices have a limited amount of screen real estate. If a handheld device could take advantage of larger screens, it would create a more powerful user interface and environment. As time progresses, Moore's law predicts that the computational power of handheld devices will increase dramatically in the future, promoting the interaction with a larger screen. Users can then use their peripheral vision to recognize spatial relationships between objects and solve problems more easily with this integrated system. In the spillable environment, the handheld device uses a DiamondTouch Table, a large, touch-sensitive horizontal table, to enhance the viewing environment. When the user moves the handheld device on the DiamondTouch, the orientation of the application changes accordingly. A user can let another person see the application by rotating the handheld device in that person's direction. A user could conveniently use this system in a public area. In a business meeting, a user can easily show documents and presentations to other users around the DiamondTouch table. In an academic setting, a tutor could easily explain a concept to a student. A user could effortlessly do all of this while having all of his/her information on the handheld device. A wide range of applications could be used in these types of settings.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a Q-methodological study whose purpose is to capture people's experience and discoveries related to the experience of playing roles. Using a theoretical base with emphasis on psychosynthesis’ concept of sub-personalities, Assagiolis’ model of the human psyche, the development of self-consciousness and the formation of a witness Self, the study focused on individuals with experience in playing roles through activities such as professional theater, amateur theater, role-playing games and live acting role play. The participants were 20 people from four groups who sorted 45 statements in a given pattern, on the basis of how much they agreed or disagreed with a sample of statements representing the concourse of the above-mentioned topic. The sample of statements was constructed based on a design developed from the chosen theory. A statistical program tailored to the requirements of Q studies, PQMethod (Scmolck), was used to conduct a factor rotation with subsequent selection of a 3-factor-solution. The factors were called: «By playing roles, I am open to getting to know myself better. The experience of the role also becomes my experience. » « Playing roles is entertainment and escape from reality. » « It is essential for me to make a distinction between myself and the role. The development of the character is important, my self-development is a bonus. » They were discussed separately, based on findings related to a prior process of abduction. The focus of the discussions include whether the experience of playing roles can contribute in the expansion of consciousness and personal development, the need for dis-identification, conflict as a basis for development, and discoveries of self in relation to the concept of the Other. The study concluded that experience from playing roles can provide a good starting point for discovery and insight into one’s self, and for increased awareness and focus on personal development.
Denne avhandlingen inneholder en Q-metodisk studie hvis formål er å fange personers opplevelse og oppdagelse knyttet til eget selv gjennom å spille roller. Ved å benytte en teoretisk base med vekt på psykosyntesens begrep om delpersonligheter og modell for egen bevissthet, samt annen teori med fokus på utvikling av egen bevissthet og dannelsen av et vitnende selv, ble det gjennomført en Q-metodisk studie med utgangspunkt i personer med erfaring i å gestalte karakterer gjennom aktiviteter som profesjonelt teater, amatørteater, rollespill og laiv. Studien ble gjennomført ved at 20 personer fra fire grupper sorterte 45 utsagn i et gitt mønster med utgangspunkt i hvor enige/uenige de var i de gjeldende utsagnene. Disse utsagnene var dannet med utgangspunkt i en design basert på valgte teori. Videre ble faktoriseringsprogrammet PQMethod (Scmolck)benyttet for å gjennomføre en faktorrotasjon med påfølgende valg av en tre-faktorløsning. Faktorene ble kalt: «Gjennom å spille roller er jeg åpen for å bli bedre kjent med meg selv. Rollens erfaringer blir også mine erfaringer.» «Det er viktig for meg å sette et skille mellom meg selv og rollen. Det er karakterens utvikling som er viktig, min selvutvikling er en bonus.» «Å spille roller er virkelighetsflukt og underholdning.» De ble så drøftet separat med bakgrunn i oppdagelser knyttet til en forutgående abduksjonsprosess. Fokus i drøftingene ble derfor blant annet lagt på hvorvidt erfaring med å spille roller kan bidra i utvidelse av eget bevissthetsfelt og personlig utvikling, behovet for dis-identifikasjon, konflikt som grunnlag for utvikling, og oppdagelser om eget selv i relasjon til begrepet om den Andre. Studien konkluderer med en forståelse av at det å gestalte karakterer kan gi et godt utgangspunkt for oppdagelser og innsikt i eget selv, og til bevisstgjøring og fokus på personlig utvikling.

Abstract:

Thus I suggest that emotions are the meaning of life. It is because we are moved, because we feel, that life has meaning (Solomon, 1993, s. 9). På denne måten introduserer Robert S. Solomon betydningen av emosjoner for et meningsfullt liv. De senere årene har fokuset på emosjoner hatt en betydelig vekst i ulike deler av samfunnet. Denne studien utforsker hvordan gruppeveiledere ved en norsk utdanningsinstitusjon opplever sin emosjonelle kompetanse, og hvordan de anvender den for å fasilitere en prosess hvor gruppemedlemmene utvikler sin emosjonelle kompetanse. Tre gruppeveiledere ble dybdeintervjuet gjennom et halvstrukturert intervju, og datamaterialet ble deretter redusert og analysert ved bruk av den konstant komparative metode. Gjennom analysen av datamaterialet oppstod det fem hovedkategorier: (1) Gruppen som relasjonell læringsarena, (2) En emosjonelt kompetent veileder, (3) Emosjoner som informasjonsbærere, (4) Empatisk tilstedeværelse og (5) Symbolisering skaper bevegelse. Kategoriene blir i all hovedsak belyst ved bruk av et teoretisk rammeverk innenfor den humanistisk-eksistensialistiske retningen i rådgivning. Grunnlaget for dette er at veiledningsbegrepet har sin forankring innenfor dette rammeverket, samt at utdanningsinstitusjonen hvor jeg utførte intervjuene, baserte sin pedagogiske virksomhet innenfor disse forståelsesrammene. Jeg erfarte også gjennom prosjektet at de teoretiske perspektivene jeg tok utgangspunkt i hadde tydelige tilknytningspunkter til empirien. Det teoretiske grunnlaget for avhandlingen finnes hovedsaklig i den personsentrerte retningen og selvaktualiseringsteoriene til Rogers (1961), samt teorier om "person i relasjon" (Allgood & Kvalsund, 2003; Macmurray, 1999) og gestaltterapi (Perls & Stevens, 1972).
Thus I suggest that emotions are the meaning of life. It is because we are moved, because we feel, that life has meaning (Solomon, 1993, s. 9). This is the way Robert S. Solomon introduces emotions as an important aspect of a meaningful life. In recent years, the focus on emotions has increased significantly in different parts of society. This study explores how group supervisors at a Norwegian educational institution experience their emotional competence, and how they use it to facilitate a process in which group members develop their emotional competence. Three supervisors were depth-interviewed through a semi-structured interview, and the data were then reduced and analyzed by means of the constant comparative method. Through the analysis of the data five main categories emerged: (1) The group as a relational learning arena, (2) An emotionally competent supervisor, (3) Emotions as information carriers, (4) Emphatic presence and (5) Symbolization creates movement. The categories are mainly discussed by means of a theoretical framework within the humanistic-existential orientation in counseling. The reason for this is that the notion of guidance finds its very foundation within this framework, in addition to the fact that the institution where I conducted my interviews also based their educational activities on this theoretical framework. Through the project I also realized that the theoretical perspectives I had chosen had distinct points of connection to the empirical data. The theoretical basis for the thesis lies chiefly within Rogers' (1961) person-centered therapy and self-actualization theories, as well as theories introducing "person-in-relation" (Allgood & Kvalsund, 2003; Macmurray, 1999) and gestalt therapy (Perls & Stevens, 1972).

Abstract:

The research focuses on the various methods that could be used in the laboratory to determine the values of production from a model cutter suction dredge. The values of production obtained from different methods are compared to estimate the best value. The tests were conducted in an attempt to pave the way to find spillage from the cutter suction dredge. The development of these methods is useful for evaluating the sediment spillage and residuals during dredging. The more accurate the values of production the more accurate would be the values of spillage. For this purpose, the laboratory dredge carriage and dredge/tow tank located at the Haynes Coastal Engineering Laboratory at Texas A&M University is used. During the summer of 2007 and 2008, the laboratory dredge carriage was used to dredge sand (d50 = 0.27 mm) in the sediment pit that is 7.6 m (25 feet) long, 3.7 m (12 feet) wide and 1.5 m (5 feet) deep. A laser profiler, a model hopper barge attached with pressure gauges, a flowmeter and density gauge aid in determining the production from the laboratory model of the cutter suction dredge were used. The before and after bathymetry measurements using a laser profiling system are used to determine the amount of sediment remaining after dredging. The hopper is instrumented with pressure gauges to measure the amount of sediment contained in the hopper. The laboratory dredge system has a magnetic flowmeter and nuclear density gauge that provide data to calculate the amount of sand delivered to the hopper. The difference between the sand volume from the before and after bathymetry is the amount of sand that is resuspended and subsequently resettles in the dredging area (residual) and the sand that is not picked up by the dredge (spillage). Many issues in laboratory testing were found during the course of testing and solutions were found. The production values are compared with reasoning as to why the differences occur. The results demonstrate the ability and difficulty of measuring the amount of material that is dredged and the amount of spillage and residuals that occurs during dredging.

Abstract:

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Sciences Johannesburg, 2017.
PCBs are chemical compounds which were synthesised in the laboratory in the 1920s. They are classified under the category of POPs. They were mainly used in electrical equipments and transformers as the insulating material. PCBs were released to the environment in the form of oil spillages, combustion of PCB-containing equipments and others. Its production was banned in the 1970s after its toxic, persistent, bioaccumulative and carcinogenic behaviour was discovered. This study was conducted to determine and monitor the level of PCB in soil contaminated by oil spillages from pole mounted transformers in Polokwane, Limpopo, South Africa after sites have been remediated. Seventy eight soil samples were collected from five sites. The QuEChERS extraction method and GC-MS was used to extract and analyse PCBs. The PCB congeners targeted in this study are PCB-180, PCB-158 and PCB-101. The concentration of PCB-180 ranges between 10.02 and 78.30 μg kg -1, PCB-158 ranges between 3.89 and 45.36 μg kg -1 and PCB-101 ranges between 2.42 and 39.12 μg kg -1. The PCB congener with the highest concentration at all sites is PCB-180 followed by PCB-158 while PCB-101 has the least concentration; this order is consistent in all sampling sites. PCB concentrations after bioremediation were found to be extremely higher than concentrations before bioremediation which suggest that the bioremediation process was not efficient including actual analytical methods used. In comparison to the range of the PCB levels reported in literature, the PCB concentration determined from this study is found within a higher range. The PCBs concentration at all five sites was found to be below the legal limits.

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
By start of the 1920s, the United States had seen nearly forty years of vast accumulations of wealth by a small group of people, substantial financial speculation and a mass change in the economic base from agricultural to industrial. All of this ended in 1929 in a crushing depression that spread not only across the country, but also around the world. Hard-Boiled detective fiction first reached the reading public early in the decade initially as adventure stories, but quickly became a way for authors to express the stresses these changes were causing on people and society. The detective is the center of the story with the task of reestablishing a certain degree of order or redemption. An important character hallmark of this genre is that he is seldom able to do this, or that the cost is so high a terrible burden remains. His decisions and judgments in this attempt are formed by his relationship with the people or community around him. The goal of this thesis is to look at the issues raised in the context of how the detective relates to a person or community in the story. For analysis, six books were chosen arranged from least level of personal relationship by the detective to the most intimate. The books are Red Harvest, by Dashiell Hammett, The Big Sleep, by Raymond Chandler, The Galton Case, by Ross MacDonald, Cotton Comes to Harlem, by Chester Himes, Devil in a Blue Dress, by Walter Mosley, and I, the Jury, by Mickey Spillane. In the study of these books, a wide range of topics are presented including political ideologies, corruption, racial discrimination and family strife. Each book provided a wealth of views on these and other subjects that are as relevant today as when they were written.
