Daniel, Ian James. "The fabrication of chevrel phase superconductors and the origin of the irreversibility field." Thesis, Durham University, 1999. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/4501/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes the fabrication and characterisation of high quality Chevrel phase superconductors and investigates the origin of the irreversibility field when measuring the magnetic moment of a superconductor using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer. A stoichiometry investigation into hot isostatically pressed (HIP'ed) lead molybdenum sulphide (PMS) across the compositional range Pb(_1+y)Mo(_6)S(_8+x) where x=-0.5, 0, 0.5 and 1.0 and y=0.0 and 0.1 was completed. T(_c), J(_c), B(_IRR) and B(_cC2) were measured for each sample and were similar to those reported for high quality bulk HIP'ed PMS. A sample of tin molybdenum sulphide (SMS) was fabricated and the critical current density determined from dc magnetisation measurements. The reduced pinning force exhibited the Peak Effect and could be scaled in both the high and low field regimes using a Kramer dependence. Three europium doped SMS samples of compositions Eu(_x)Sn(_1+x)Mo(_6)S(_8) with x = 0, 0.35 and 0.5 were characterised. The x = 0.35 sample exhibited the highest dB(_C2)/dT and B(_C2)(0) of any tin based Chevrel phase material reported. The europium doped samples simultaneously exhibited paramagnetism and superconductivity. The effect of the field inhomogeneity of the magnet used in a VSM system on the measurement of the magnetic moment of a superconductor was calculated. It was found that when the effective ac field caused by the movement of the sample is comparable to the self field of the sample, the voltage measured at the driver frequency does not represent the magnetic moment or the critical current density of the sample. The calculations show that the irreversibility field (B,(_IRR)) occurs when the effective ac field penetrates the entire volume of the sample and is not when the critical current density falls to zero. Harmonics of the driver frequency were also calculated and it was shown that measurement of these harmonics allow the determination of the field at which the critical current density is zero. Harmonic measurements were performed and showed excellent agreement with the calculations.

Full textAbstract:
The Cabullona Basin of northeastern Sonora is a structural depocenter that was formed during Late Cretaceous time. The 2.5 km-thick sedimentary fill of this basin, the Cabullona Group, is composed in ascending order of the Corral de Enmedio formation, Camas Sandstone, Packard Shale, Lomas Coloradas formation, and, laterally equivalent to the last two units, El Cemento conglomerate. Abundant vertebrate and invertebrate as well as pollen identifications from these units indicate the Cabullona Group is of middle Santonian to Maastrichtian age. The Corral de Enmedio formation represents shallow lacustrine deposits. Lithofacies of the Camas and Lomas Coloradas formations indicate they were deposited by braided- and meandering-fluvial systems, whereas the eight members of the Packard Shale represent complex fluvio-deltaic-and-lacustrine systems. The El Cemento conglomerate is a thick clastic wedge of coarse-grained alluvial deposits that was deposited adjacent to the structural margin of the basin. Clast composition and paleocurrent directions of the El Cemento conglomerate indicate it was derived from strata of the nearby uplift of the Sierra Anibacachi-Cerro Cabullona. The low-angle, southwest directed Cabullona thrust fault that separates the uplift from the basin formed the structural margin of the basin. The tectono-sedimentary history of the Cabullona Group, its age and regional tectonic setting support the idea that this basin was formed because of typical Laramide-style deformation and indicates that the Rocky Mountain foreland province of Laramide deformation extended southward to northeastern Sonora.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation tracks the creation and implementation of India's 2006 Forest Rights Act or FRA, a landmark law that for the first time grants land rights to the millions who live without them in the country's forests. I follow the law in relation to the forest rights movement that has been central in lobbying for, drafting, and implementing it in order to examine both how the movement has shaped the law's meaning as well as how contests and alliances over the law's text and meaning have transformed the many movements citing and using the law. Drawing on ethnographic and archival research, I track the law from contests over its drafting in New Delhi to contests over its meaning in Ramnagar, a North Indian village. Ramnagar was settled by landless forest dwellers organized by forest rights activists, and its continued but still precarious existence is premised on a claim to land through the Act. I show that the meaning of the FRA was contested at every stage through collective action oriented around what Bakhtin (1982) terms `chronotopes,' the joint depiction of time, place, and characters in language. By diagnosing contemporary injustice through a depiction of the past and pointing to a just future to be brought about through the action of a collective, political movements and identifications form around and act through chronotopes. The movements enacting the Forest Rights Act have critically seized upon what one bureaucrat involved in its drafting called its `word traps,' words or phrases in the text with apparently uncontroversial literal meanings that in fact allow the law to be read through the political chronotopes of political parties or movements. By attending to the relationship between the legal text, its chronotopic deployment, and collective action, my project provides new ways to understand laws in political practice and language in political practice.Anthropology

Cai, Rongman. "New hypotheses about the origin of Pseudomonas syringae crop pathogens." Diss., Virginia Tech, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/37806.
Full textAbstract:
Pseudomonas syringae is a common foliar plant pathogenic bacterium that causes diseases on many crop plants. We hypothesized that todayâ s highly virulent P. syringae crop pathogens with narrow host range might have evolved after the advent of agriculture from ancestral P. syringae strains with wide host range that were adapted to mixed plant communities. The model tomato and Arabidopsis pathogen P. syringae pv. tomato (Pto) DC3000 and its close relatives isolated from crop plants were thus selected to unravel basic principles of host range evolution by applying molecular evolutionary analysis and comparative genomics approaches. Phylogenetic analysis was combined with host range tests to reconstruct the host range of the most recent common ancestor of all analyzed strains isolated from crop plants. Even though reconstruction of host range of the most recent common ancestor of all analyzed strains was not conclusive, support for this hypothesis was found in some sub-groups of strains. The focus of my studies then turned to Pto T1, which was found to represent the most common P. syringae lineage causing bacterial speck disease on tomato world-wide. Five genomes were sequenced and compared to each other. Identical genotypes were found in North America and Europe suggesting frequent pathogen movement between these continents. Moreover, the type III-secreted effector gene hopM1 was found to be under strong selection for loss of function and non-synonymous mutations in the fliC gene allowed to identify a region that triggers plant immunity. Finally, Pto T1 was compared to closely related bacteria isolated from snow pack and surface water in the French Alps. Recombination between alpine strains and crop strains was inferred and virulence gene repertoires of alpine strains and crop strains were found to overlap. Alpine strains cause disease on tomato and have relatively wider host ranges than Pto T1. The conclusion from these studies is that Pto T1 and other crop pathogens may have evolved from ancestors similar to the characterized environmental strains isolated in the French Alps by adapting their effector repertoire to individual crops becoming more virulent on these crops but losing virulence on other plants.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the present study was to examine the relation between family violence history and conflict resolution strategies among emerging adults (ages 18-19), a group largely overlooked in the research. Undergraduates (N = 249) completed self-report questionnaires regarding conflict strategies witnessed and experienced in the home during their adolescence and regarding the likelihood of using certain conflict resolution strategies with a romantic partner in response to hypothetical vignettes. Results indicated that family violence history did not predict conflict resolution strategies for the full sample. However, for a subsample of participants who had experienced physical aggression in the home, experiencing that aggression predicted later use of hostile strategies with a romantic partner. Witnessing aggression predicted later hostile strategy use for men, but not women. For both the full and subsamples, witnessing and experiencing reasoning in the home predicted later use of prosocial strategies.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis evaluates Australian rugby league participant violence between 1970 and 1995 through the use of figurational sociology, a body of thought pioneered by Norbert Elias. While figurational theory is the dominant
paradigm used, an interdisciplinary focus is adopted in order to negotiate the recognised weaknesses of 'Eliasian' theory, and to complement its strengths. Communication
studies, cultural studies and gender theory are interweaved with figurational sociology to analyse rugby league violence. Furthermore, through these theoretical paradigms, important wider social and cultural issues are taken into account including the commodification of
Australian rugby league, the media framing of State of Origin rugby league as a 'sports mediated product', and the role violence plays both within the construction of masculine identities in rugby league and in the wider 'gender order' . These social and cultural issues are evaluated to gain an adequate understanding of the structural and interpersonal interrelationships constituting the social phenomenon of rugby league violence. The central finding of this thesis is that there
is a processual shift from more to less illegitimate violence in Australian rugby league between 1970 and 1995.

Full textAbstract:
Human trafficking is a widespread and growing crime in the world. Trafficking by its nature involves movement from one place to another and in most cases, it comprises crossing international borders. Although the estimation of victims of trafficking stretches to 2 450 000, the number of prosecutions is less than 5 000. This indicates the challenges faced by many countries in the investigation and prosecution of trafficking cases. Transnational human trafficking is committed in different places, making investigation and prosecution very complex. This paper examines how investigation and prosecution can be carried out when the criminal acts are committed in different countries. It also examines how the issue of jurisdiction is entertained. Furthermore, it addresses who can be termed as &ldquo
traffickers&rdquo
in dealing with human trafficking issues. Ethiopia is facing a big problem in fighting human trafficking. Like most countries, the issue of human trafficking is closely related to women. Ethiopia uses the criminal justice system as a tool to eradicate women trafficking. The investigation and prosecution of trafficking cases face many problems which have a direct impact on the countryâs efforts to overcome human trafficking. Thus, this research will contribute significantly by highlighting deficits in the criminal justice system as it deals with the investigation and prosecution of women trafficking issues and by making recommendations with regards to them.

The integrated understanding of the natural phenomena and biological process occurs thought the evolutionary thought, thus the Biological Evolution is considered the integrating and unifying base of Biological Science. Though the teaching of how life originated and diversified are the object of researches already developed and published in the last decades, some difficulties still remain in teaching these subjects. Taking these considerations into account, the present research is characterized as State of Art and it aims to highlight what is being produced in academic researches, in the form of dissertations and theses, from 2006 to 2016, regarding the teaching of the themes Origin of Life and Biological Evolution. A total of 78 articles were found, being 65 (83%) dissertations and 16 (17%) theses. 86% of these are from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of public administrative nature, with emphasis on state and federal universities, and 13% of private HEIs. Around 80% of dissertations and thesis are concentrated in the South-Southeast region. Half of the papers are dissertations on teaching Biological Evolution, and only one thesis investigates the teaching of the Origin of Life. Around 70% of the academic productions identified are intended for research at the secondary level on basic education. The continuing formation of teachers contemplates only 4% of the productions. In relation to the most prevalent issues in the set of dissertations and theses, stand out: Characteristic of Teacher, with 25%, followed by Didactic Resources and Method-Contents with almost 16% each, and History and Philosophy of Science, with 14%. We found three issues that were not well investigated in the researches: Curriculum and Programs, Non-Formal Education and School Organization, which appears as a research field little explored and that requires an investigation on the teaching and learning process of the Origin and Evolution of Life. These results, as well as the researches focused on the analysis of academic production, can contribute to the deployment of more specific proposals of teaching formation and improvements in the teaching-learning of the Origin of Life and Biological Evolution.
A compreensão integrada dos fenômenos naturais e processos biológicos ocorre por meio do pensamento evolutivo, assim, a Evolução Biológica é considerada o eixo integrador e unificador das Ciências Biológicas. Embora o ensino de como a vida se originou e se diversificou sejam objetivos de pesquisas já desenvolvidas e publicadas nas últimas décadas, persistem algumas dificuldades no ensino desses temas. Levando em conta tais observações, a presente pesquisa é caracterizada como Estado da Arte e tem por objetivo evidenciar o que está sendo produzido nas pesquisas acadêmicas, na forma de dissertações e teses, no período de 2006 a 2016, quanto ao ensino dos temas Origem da Vida e Evolução Biológica. No total, foram encontrados 78 trabalhos, sendo 65 (83%) dissertações e 13 (17%) teses. 86% desses trabalhos são de instituições de ensino superior (IES) de natureza administrativa pública, com destaque para as universidades estaduais e federais, e 13% de IES de natureza privada. Em torno de 80% das dissertações e teses estão concentradas no eixo Sul-Sudeste. Metade dos trabalhos são dissertações, acerca do ensino da Evolução Biológica, e somente uma tese investiga exclusivamente o ensino da Origem da Vida. Em torno de 70% das produções encontradas são destinadas a investigações no ensino médio na educação básica. A formação continuada de professores contempla somente 4% das produções. Quanto às problemáticas que mais prevaleceram no conjunto de dissertações e teses, destacam-se: Características do Professor, com 25%, seguida de Recursos Didáticos e Conteúdo-Método, com quase 16% cada, e História e Filosofia da Ciência, com 14%. Identificamos três problemáticas pouco investigadas nas pesquisas: Currículos e Programas, Educação Não-Formal e Organização da Escola, configurando-se como um campo de pesquisa pouco explorado e que carece de investigações acerca dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem da Origem e Evolução da Vida. Os resultados desta pesquisa, bem como a realização de pesquisas dedicadas à análise do conjunto da produção acadêmica, podem contribuir para a implantação de propostas mais específicas na formação de professores e melhorias no ensino e na aprendizagem da Origem da Vida e Evolução Biológica.

Full textAbstract:
Today, different parts of a value chain operate in different places, different firms may hold ranges of brands with different national heritages, and leaders, shareholders and customers are widely spread across the world. Policy makers are facing new challenges as national borders define less and less of corporate thinking. In this paper, we argue that there is a need to find a new way of how to understand the relationship between business and nation-states. The theoretical framework was constructed by breaking down the concept of national identity of companies. We found four different aspects that we argue can connect business to nations, and in the empirical study, our ambition is to test this framework. By conducting the study using qualitative content analysis, we aim to answer the research question of if it possible to understand the national identity of companies through different aspects of business, and if so, how this is reflected in the national trade policies of four countries. Our results showed that by looking beyond the traditional view of national identity of companies, policy makers have three important factors to take into regards when considering their relations to business; location, culture and contribution.

Full textAbstract:
Ancient Egypt counts among the few historical cases which document the origins of the state. In contrast to other regions, where state organization remained for a long period on the level of city states, an extensive territorial state emerged in Egypt at the end of the 4th millennium BCE. Archaeological research during the last few decades has revealed a wealth of new information. In particular the emergence of complex social, economic and political structures can be followed from the earlier part of the 4th millennium. Within the regional setting, the development of city-state like structures can be documented. In addition, large scale networks of communication and interaction, extending from the Levant south to the area of the 2nd cataract of the Nile, can be recognized which anticipated important structures and functions of the territorial state of dynastic Egypt. Thus the origins of the state can be anchored within a larger context of structural development. At the same time, the question needs to be addressed: how did social, economic and cultural structures later on develop within the political framework of the pharaonic state?El antiguo Egipto está entre los pocos casos históricos que documentan los orígenes del Estado. En contraste con otras regiones donde la organización estatal permaneció por mucho tiempo en el nivel de ciudades-Estado, en Egipto surgió un extenso Estado territorial ya hacia fines del cuarto milenio a.C. La investigación arqueológica realizada durante las últimas décadas ha revelado una abundancia de nueva información. De manera particular, el surgimiento de la complejidad social y de las estructuras económicas y políticas se puede seguir desde la parte temprana del cuarto milenio. Dentro de este entorno regional se pueden reconocer tanto el desarrollo de estructuras de tipo ciudades-Estado como redes de comunicación e interacción de gran escala que alcanzaron desde el área sur del Levante hasta la Segunda Catarata del Nilo; estas últimas anticiparon estructuras y funciones importantes del Estado territorial del posterior Egipto dinástico. De este modo, los orígenes del Estado pueden ser determinados dentro de un contexto más grande de progreso estructural. Al mismo tiempo, el tema necesita ser abordado en el marco de cómo, más adelante, surgieron organizaciones sociales, económicas y culturales al interior del escenario político del Estado faraónico.

The aim of this essay is to provide an answer to the question "What is the Meaning of Meaningless sex in Dystopia?". It will show that meaningful concepts such as sexual satisfaction, pleassure, passion, love, bonding, procreation and family are handled as threats in dystopian societies described in well-known novels as We, Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four . It will explain how the conflict between the collective and the individual influences peoples' sexuality. It will also show how leading powers in the three dystopian societies use different methods to remove the significanse and functions of sex. It will suggest meaningless sex is a means to control the masses in a collective and that meaningful sex is an act of rebelion against the state..

Full textAbstract:
The Bahamas has many of the challenges that come with being a small island state. The archipelagic nature of the country brings with it the necessity to duplicate service efforts to accommodate all citizens in the development process; this factor puts a strain on the government's resources, and the need for civil society to fill the gaps that exist and partner with government is more pronounced. This study is pursued to examine the relationship between civil society and government in small island states such as The Bahamas. To accomplish this, the study reviews six civil society organizations, from three different sectors — health, education and environment. An organization from each sector was chosen, formed either during the colonial period or post-colonial, to examine the nature of the organization's relationship with government at two different points in time, in an effort to see whether the relationship differs based on the particular non-profit sector (health, education or environment) or time of origin (colonial or post-colonial). This relationship is reviewed through the lens of three variables: the nature of the financial relationship the policy relationship, and structure relationship.
The relationship will be viewed through the lens of social origins theory as developed by Lester Salamon (2002) et. al. The research will be based on data collected using the same instrument applied by Salamon et al in the initial study, but the variables will be applied at the level of an organization, rather than a sector. Data is also drawn from interviews with persons associated with each organization. A review of the type of relationship government has with these civil society groups (and the implications of those relationships on performance) may provide insight in the way government should seek to foster and manage relationships with such organizations in the future for the growth and development of the country.Ph.

Microorganisms play crucial roles in aquatic environments in determining ecosystemstability and driving the turnover of elements essential to life. Understanding thedistribution and evolution of aquatic microorganisms will help us predict how aquaticecosystems will respond to Global Change, and such understanding can be gained bystudying these processes of the past. In this project, we investigate the evolutionaryrelationship between brackish water bacteria from the Baltic Sea and Caspian Seawith freshwater and marine bacteria, with the goal of understanding how brackishwater bacteria have evolved. 11,276 bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes(MAGs) from seven metagenomic datasets were used to conduct a comparativeanalysis of freshwater, brackish and marine bacteria. When clustering the genomes bypairwise average nucleotide identity (ANI) at the approximate species level (96.5%ANI), the Baltic Sea genomes were more likely to form clusters with the Caspian Seagenomes than with Swedish lakes genomes, even though geographic distancesbetween Swedish lakes and the Baltic Sea are much smaller. Phylogenomic analysisand ancestral state reconstruction showed that approximately half of the brackishMAGs had freshwater ancestors and half had marine ancestors. Phylogeneticdistances were on average shorter to freshwater ancestors, but when subsampling thetree to the same number of freshwater and marine MAG clusters, the distances werenot significantly different. Brackish genomes belonging to Acidimicrobiia,Actinobacteria and Cyanobacteriia tended to originate from freshwater bacteria, whilethose of Alphaproteobacteria and Bacteroidia mainly had evolved from marinebacteria.Mikroorganismer spelar avgörande roller i akvatiska ekosystem där de driverkretsloppen av näringsämnen. En ökad förståelse för hur mikroorganismer anpassarsig till miljöförändringar är viktigt för att förutsäga hur akvatiska ekosystem kommeratt förändras som en konsekvens av global uppvärmning, och sådan förståelse kanuppnås genom att studera tidigare skeenden i evolutionen. I detta projekt undersökervi det evolutionära förhållandet mellan brackvatten-bakterier från Östersjön ochKaspiska havet med sötvattens- och marina bakterier, med målet att förstå hurbrackvatten-bakterier har utvecklats. 11,276 bakteriella arvsmassor somrekonstruerats med metagenomik från sju data-set användes för att utföra enjämförande analys av bakterie-genom från söt-, brack och havsvatten. Klustring avgenomen baserat på parvis genomsnittlig nukleotididentitet (ANI) på ungefärligartnivå (96,5% ANI), grupperade Östersjöns bakterier tillsammans med Kaspiskahavets bakterier mer än med bakterier från svenska sjöar, trots att det geografiskaavståndet mellan svenska sjöar och Östersjön är mycket mindre. Fylogenetisk analysvisade att ungefär hälften av brackvatten arterna hade anfäder från sötvatten ochhälften från havsvatten. De fylogenetiska avstånden var i genomsnitt kortare tillanfaderna i sötvatten, men när man reducerade trädet till att ha samma antal sötvattenoch marina arter var avstånden inte längre signifikant olika. Brackvatten-arter somtillhörde Acidimicrobiia, Actinobacteria och Cyanobacteriia tenderade att härstammafrån sötvattenbakterier, medan de från Alphaproteobacteria och Bacteroidia främsthärstammade från marina bakterier.

As policymakers reckon with how the United States became a global leader in imprisonment after World War II, scholars have suggested that the roots of this phenomenon are in conservative backlash to postwar crime or in federal intervention in American cities during the urban crisis. However, historians and social scientists have overlooked the role of jails in the origins story of mass incarceration. Through a close historical examination of Cook County Jail in Chicago, my research addresses how policymakers used reform claims to rationalize the growth of large urban jails from the 1950s through the 1990s. As a massive state building project, mass incarceration was contingent upon branding urban jails as providers of social services and rehabilitation, even though there was proof that jails failed to provide such services and as jail policymakers built bigger and more brutal jails. While activists, lawyers, and prisoners challenged dehumanizing conditions and state violence, jailers responded to public scrutiny by assuring the public that Cook County Jail was in the process of becoming a space that was beneficial to people awaiting trial there. This project locates the emergence of the contemporary carceral crisis in the battle to transform America’s jails.

Влияние институциональной среды на эффективность российских публичных акционерных компаний. Целью исследования является определение влияния факторов институциональной среды на эффективность российских публичных акционерных компаний. Предмет исследования - институциональная среда российской экономики. Объект исследования - компании, включенные в индекс Московской Биржи. В работе изучена научная и теоретическая литература по вопросам роли институциональной среды в развитии экономики и общества, проанализировано развитие российской институциональной среды и происхождение собственности в исторической ретроспективе, проанализировано влияние государственного участия и прочих факторов на эффективность зарубежных и российских компаний, разработана эмпирическая модель оценки влияния факторов на эффективность компаний и сформулированы рекомендации по итогам проведённого эмпирического и теоретического исследования. По итогам исследования были сделаны выводы о том, что наиболее значимыми переменными собственности в объяснении эффективности котируемых компаний являются бинарная переменная государственно-олигархического происхождения собственности, а также доля акций в свободном обращении. Также был сделан вывод о том, что абсолютные и ранговые значения доли государства и концентрации собственности оказывают незначительное влияние на зависимые переменные.The impact of the institutional environment on the efficiency of Russian public joint-stock companies.

Full textAbstract:
L’objet de cette thèse porte sur le charisme et la crise de succession en régime charismatique. À l’aide d’éléments théoriques puisés chez Max Weber et ses successeurs, on tente de faire un bilan, une synthèse des recherches passées et celles en cours, et de proposer notre propre compréhension du pouvoir charismatique et la question de son utilité. En effet, bien que le concept de charisme soit largement utilisé et discuté par les théoriciens du pouvoir et du leadership, il demeure encore une énigme majeure des sciences sociales, politiques et juridiques. Ainsi, persuadé de sa pertinence comme principe de légitimation du pouvoir politique, on tente d’explorer plus en avant certains de ses aspects négligés ou insuffisamment élaborés, afin de proposer une vue d’ensemble sur la question. L’illustration de ses grandes figures historiques les plus marquantes comme Mussolini, Hitler, Khomeiny, de Gaulle, Mao, Houphouët, Nkrumah nous permet d’entrevoir ses vertus et ses vices, mettant également en avant les crises de succession en régime charismatique avec leurs différentes solutionsThe purpose of this thesis deals with the charisma and the succession crisis in charismatic regime. With the help of theoretical elements drawn from Max Weber and his successors, we try to make an assessment, a summary of previous researches and those in progress, and propose our own understanding of charismatic power and the question of its usefulness. Indeed, although the concept of charisma is widely used and discussed by the theorists of power and leadership, it remains a major conundrum of social science, political and legal. So convinced of its relevance as a principle of legitimation of political power, we attempt to further explore some aspects neglected or insufficiently developed to provide an overview of the issue. The illustration of these great historical figures, the most significant, like Mussolini, Hitler, Khomeini, De Gaulle, Mao, Houphouët, and Nkrumah gives a glimpse of its virtues and its vices, thus highlighting the crises of succession in charismatic regime with their different solutions

Full textAbstract:
Glyphosate was patented as a broad-spectrum, non-selective, systemic herbicide in 1974. In 1996, glyphosate-resistant Lolium rigidum (rigid ryegrass) was reported in Australia. Since then 34 other weeds the world over have evolved resistance to this herbicide. The first case of glyphosate resistance in South Africa was in rigid ryegrass in vineyards. Resistance to glyphosate in Conyza bonariensis (L.) Cronquist (flax-leaf fleabane) was reported in 2003 in the Breede Valley, Western Cape. Glyphosate resistant Conyza canadensis (horseweed fleabane) reportedly becomes sensitive at low temperatures (below 12 oC). If the resistance mechanism is vacuolar sequestration, low temperatures will prevent glyphosate to be translocated into the vacuole. Tank mixtures with foliar manganese and other foliar-applied nutrient elements, in particular cations such as Mn2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, etc, are known to decrease glyphosate efficacy. The aim of the present study is to determine if growth stage has an influence on glyphosate tolerance in C. bonariensis, if highly glyphosate-tolerant C. bonariensis plants become sensitive at low temperatures, and to assess if there is an effect between high manganese levels and response to glyphosate, as well as if mancozeb (fungicide containing Mn and Zn) influences the glyphosate-manganese interaction. C. bonariensis seed was collected at 12 locations. At the four to six leaf stage six dosages of glyphosate was applied: 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 times the recommended dosage (2 L ha-1 Roundup Turbo). Fresh mass were measured at 21 days after treatment (DAT). Data was subjected to ANOVA. GR50 and Resistant / Sensitive values were calculated. From the screening experiment two highly tolerant, two tolerant and two susceptible populations were identified. The growth stage experiment was conducted in the exact same manner as the screening experiment, with growth stage as an added factor. Plants were treated with glyphosate at two different growth stages (10 – 12 and 16 – 20 leaves). A second screening experiment with four populations from the same area was performed. Plants from a highly tolerant population were grown in the greenhouse up to the four leaf stage and then moved to the temperature gradient table. Plants were exposed to temperature ranges of 8 - 13 oC, 15 - 20 oC and 22 - 27 oC, respectively. Plants were treated with glyphosate at 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 times the recommended dosage and fresh mass measured at 21 DAT. The manganese experiment had three factors: manganese level, location and glyphosate dosage. Seed from a sensitive and highly tolerant population were planted in a seeding tray. Seedlings were transplanted to a hydroponic system containing three different nutrient solutions with different manganese levels. Plants were treated with glyphosate at the 4-6 leaf stage at 1 and 2 times the recommended dosage. The rest of the materials and methods are the same as for the temperature experiment. The final experiment was performed to examine if mancozeb has an influence on the efficacy of glyphosate when applied to C. bonariensis. Mancozeb was applied before and after glyphosate to susceptible C. bonariensis plants. For two of the populations in the screening experiment all of the replicates survived the recommended dosage, and hence, they were classified as highly tolerant. Two other populations were classified as tolerant and two as sensitive. There is a clear difference in the sensitivity of the various populations to glyphosate as well as populations from the same area. These six populations were further used in the growth stage experiment where the same results were obtained regarding the sensitivity of the populations at the 10 - 12 leaves growth stage. Plants at the 16 – 20 leave growth stage are much more tolerant to glyphosate. The second screening experiment showed that C. bonariensis plants from the same area differ in the tolerance towards glyphosate. Highly glyphosate-tolerant plants did not become susceptible at a low temperature. Susceptibillity to glyphosate increased at the higher temperatures. Therefore, vacuolar sequestration is probably not the mechanism of resistance responsible for the high tolerance to glyphosate. There was no replication of manganese treatments in the manganese experiment and therefore differences could not be tested. The unique methodology employed in this experiment is, however, of value. Mancozeb did not have an influence on glyphosate efficacy when applied either before or after glyphosate. If resistance to glyphosate develops in C. bonariensis and in other species on a wider scale than is currently the case in South Africa it will be a big problem for farmers in various cropping systems. Therefore, the label must be followed very strictly to ensure that plants are treated at the correct dosage and growth stage to ensure that populations are not incorrectly referred to as resistant.Dissertation (MSc (Agric))--University of Pretoria, 2017.

Full textAbstract:
The major theme of this study is to demonstrate the importance of including the underemployed in assessments of ethnic stratification. Particularly, it is argued that this approach presents a more balanced evaluation of the degree of labor force integration of the Mexican origin population. Empirically, the prevalence of underemployment among Mexican origin and whites workers for the 1976-1987 period is analyzed. During this 12-year span, the level of underemployment for Mexican workers increased from 32 percent to 42 percent, while the white level fluctuated around 21 percent. Models to determine the causes of underemployment were estimated using logistic regression. The models evaluate the relative importance of human capital variables (e.g., age and schooling) and structural variables (e.g., occupation and industrial sector location) as determinants of underemployment. Results indicate that young, poorly educated Mexican origin workers are more vulnerable to underemployment than their white counterparts; that Mexicans incumbents in service and low-skill, blue-collar occupations are more susceptible to underemployment than whites in the same occupations; and that the risk of underemployment is greater for Mexicans than their white counterparts located in the periphery and trade sectors. It was also found that nativity status has no statistical effect on the propensity for underemployment. But Mexicans with limited English proficiency were more likely to be underemployed than their more English proficient peers. To gauge the effect of labor underutilization on ethnic inequality, the Mexican-white earnings differential is analyzed controlling for employment instability. Results show that employment instability exerts a heavy cost: Mexican men who experience employment instability earn 37 percent less than their adequately employed counterparts. Last, the underemployed should be included in ethnic stratification studies focusing on labor market outcomes because their exclusion provides a more conservative assessment of inequality. Data for the analyses come from the Current Population Survey and the 1976 Survey of Income and Education.

Full textAbstract:
U.S. immigration procedures are complex and may elude the average individual seeking admission to the United States. Understanding this, the current study investigates how information resources are used by potential migrants to learn about the migratory process. Using a mixed-methods approach, I interviewed 30 Mexican immigrants with unauthorized immigration experience about the process of gathering migration information in the pre-migration phase. Qualitative data were coded using seven themes generated from the primary research questions, including: Information Resources, Resources Used During Migration, Motivation for Migration, Method of Migration, Lack of Information/Misinformation, Types of Help and Types of Information. Findings suggest that the factors motivating migrants to come to the U.S. are combined in complex ways and lack of information about legal alternatives to unauthorized migration is an important factor influencing method of migration. Also, while access to new information resources is increasing, these resources are not being tapped for migration information.

Full textAbstract:
Explaining State Development: Indonesia from Pre-Independence Origins to Contemporary Democracy.
This thesis uses the Indonesian case to present a new paradigm for explaining the state development of new or relatively new (post-World War II) states. The first chapter describes this paradigm of organic and mechanical types of state development, argues that the development of the Indonesian state from the 1950s to 1990s is a good example of the mechanical type of development and shows how this can be confirmed by assessing and comparing the capabilities of the four different versions of a modern state developed by Indonesia since independence. The next chapter examines Indonesia’s pre-independence debates about the form of state to be adopted, which led to Indonesia accepting a Western model of the state that has since undergone a development process involving four different versions of a ‘modern’ state. These four versions of the state are defined according to their type of regime and policymaking institutions: I) parliamentary democracy, II) Sukarno’s civilian presidential monarchy, III) Suharto’s military presidential monarchy and IV) presidential democracy. Chapters Three to Six assess and compare these four versions’ capability in three key areas: 1) achieving legal legitimacy, 2) control of the military and 3) dealing with political disorder – a crucial area of state capability that requires two chapters. Then Chapter Seven examines and explains the pre-democratic origins of the present version of the Indonesian state, the presidential democracy of Version IV. The Conclusion collates the findings of Chapters Three to Six on capabilities and summarises the arguments of Chapters Two and Seven regarding the 1940s acceptance of the Western model of the state and the late 1990s opportunity for democratisation. Finally, there is a concluding assessment of the potential of the organic/mechanical typology as a new paradigm for studying state development in other countries, regions and eras.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a fresh assessment of the 1921 Railways Act by examining its origins, nature and significance, with special reference to the perspectives of railway officials and others directly involved after 1908, across a period encompassing the cataclysmic experience of the Great War. At a time of growing concern about domestic political stability and the British economy's international competitiveness, the railway industry entered a new phase. Its commercial outlook became increasingly uncertain. The network was mature and losing local traffic to flexible new transport technologies. Gross revenues continued to grow, but were outpaced by costs. Money markets demanded higher returns, making capital expenditure problematic. Inevitably, the industry's huge capital debt and parliament's perceived role in helping to generate it, along with the railway industry's commercial drives and management practices, came under intense scrutiny. Working within a rigid regulatory regime, last amended in 1894, and burdened by nineteenth century statutory obligations and perceptions, companies strove to maintain margins by cooperative agreements and other means that led to a deteriorating relationship with customers. Moreover, the railway industry's labour force, seeking equality with capital, became more militant, as evidenced by the 1911 national strike. Within this context, the Asquith Government finally accepted the shortcomings of the existing regulatory framework, and in 1913 established a Royal Commission, chaired by Lord Loreburn, to reappraise the industry's relationship with the state, even its nationalisation. However, the outbreak of war stopped the commission's work prematurely. The Great War brought the railway companies under government control for an unexpectedly long duration. By its end there was wide agreement that their condition, caused by wartime operations without concern for commercial considerations, prevented their immediate return to their proprietors. The resettlement process, between 1919 and 1921, created an opportunity for reform denied in 1914, and particularly for Sir Eric Geddes to influence the outcome through his 1920 White Paper, which relied on improving the industry's efficiency to validate its radical changes. The Act's dual intent, resettlement and reform, was highly constrained by the intractable nature of the industry's pre-war commercial weaknesses, and the economic circumstances and national mood of the post-war period.

Hale, Gregory T. "Living out the script : family of origin violence, family relationship patterns, anger expression, and spouse abuse." Virtual Press, 1988. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/558338.
Full textAbstract:
Studies on spouse abuse have typically focused on the frequency of the violence, the individual characteristics of abusers and victims, and the sociocultural aspects of the problem. Many of the current findings remain isolated. A comprehensive model explaining the causes of spouse abuse is lacking. The present study tested the premise that spouse abuse is a multidimensional problem, resulting from several factors in combination with one another.Two hundred nineteen students, faculty, and staff from a midsized university were surveyed regarding: (a) family of origin relational patterns: (b) childhood exposure to violence; (c) current anger expression; (d) attributions for abuse; and (e) current relationship violence. Based upon the existing theoretical literature, the variables formed a conceptual model describing relationship conflict behaviors. It was hypothesized that: (1) family of origin relational patterns and childhood exposure to violence would predict current anger expression and attributions for abuse: (2) current anger expression and attributions for abuse would predict current relationship conflict behaviors; (3) the relationships in (1) and (2) would be stronger than other possible relationships.Analyses were completed in two stages. First, the latent variables in the conceptual model were described through factor analysis of the measured variables. Composites representing measured factors containing the latent variables were placed into the hypothesized model. Second, canonical analysis evaluated the significance of the hypothesized and alternate relationships between factors.The hypothesized model was confirmed with some revision. The results indicated that violent behavior between men and women was most directly linked to current anger expression. Attributions about spouse abuse were not found to be related to current relationship violence. Anger expression appeared to be influenced by the family of origin relational patterns, childhood exposure to non-spousal violence, and a history of committing violence against adults during adolescence. Abuse between parents was not directly related to anger expression or relationship conflict. Abuse between parents was only influential when combined with an exposure to non-spousal violence during childhood. A revised model, which included a new factor called sociopathic features, was developed. It was concluded that relationship violence is best explained by a combination of these psychosocial factors. Implications for practice with spouse abuse are also presented. Given that anger expression appears to be the major factor, the most appropriate treatment may be that which focuses on anger expression and control. Future research is needed to evaluate this revised model of spouse abuse, and to identify potential ways of intervening in this developmental process.Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

The Latino community in the United States, currently estimated at over 23 million, is projected to become the largest minority group in America within the next fifteen years. However, insufficient national-level data on Latinos has resulted in relatively few studies being published on the voting behavior of this increasingly important group. Using data drawn from the first national probability sample of Latinos, the Latino National Political Survey, this paper addresses selected socio-demographic indices correlated with voter turnout. The logistic regression model empirically demonstrates the importance of distinguishing among subgroups and identifies the life-cycle effect as a principle determinant of voter turnout.

Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2007. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/2131/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with examining the right of return and compensation, under international law, of Jordanian nationals who are of Palestinian refugee origin exclusively and Jordan's right as their state of nationality to bring claims on their behalf to and against Israel. It does not concern itself with other categories of Palestinian refugees who are not Jordanian nationals although the two rights of return and compensation arguably apply to all Palestinian refugees. The thesis also aims at examining Jordan's right as a host country, under international law, to bring compensation claims to and against Israel for creating the Palestinian refugee problem. It examines the legal bases for such a right, under international law in the context of State Responsibility for wrongful acts along with relevant provisions of the 1994 Jordan-Israel Peace Treaty. The thesis attempts to critically assess, analyze and examine major claims that Jordan can bring to and against Israel against principles of international law both on behalf of its nationals of Palestinian refugee origin and in relation to the right of return and compensation and claims of its own as a host state to and against Israel. It also critically assesses and examines the procedures and mechanisms available for the pursuit of such claims that are available to Jordan in the context of the 1994 Jordan-Israel Peace Treaty along with non Peace Treaty based procedures and mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
Two paradoxes on the literature on modern Jordan have inspired this research. First, the Hashemite regime in Amman has proved the most durable of those installed under Mandatory tutelage in the Arab East after World War L Yet Jordan's cohesion has either gone unremarked, or else been attributed to the personal qualities of 'Abdallah ibn al-Husayn, or Hussein ibn Talal, who between them ruled Jordan for most of its existence as a separate state. Secondly, while there is widespread scholarly support for the idea that East Bank "tribesmen" dominated the security services and formed the mainstay of Hashemite rule, there is little consideration of the material interests that have bound these actors to the regime. Nor has account been taken of the fact that the rural hinterlands from which they originate have been neglected, and that this has been a cause of the outbreaks in southern Jordan that have marked the most serious challenge to the stability of Hashemite rule in recent times. The following thesis attempts to resolve these paradoxes by investigating the social origins of Hashemite rule, charting the historical formation of the state·centric political economy that bound the Bedouin and fallahin to the throne. The argument that follows locates the material sources of Hashemite power in the evolution of a "Hashemite compact" established in Mandatory t imes and still in operation in the East Bank today. The pact exchanged political loyalty for security of livelihood and made public employment (and military service in particular) the chief source of succour for East Bankers. A protean form of this compact can be discerned during the Great Arab Revolt. It was expanded and the loyalty of the Bedouin was cemented during the 1930s when John Bagot Glubb extended the authority of the Mandatory state into the steppe east of the Hijaz railway. After 1948, the compact was expanded to embrace virtually the entire East Bank population as the Arab legion was enlarged and recruitment spread to the villages and camps of the settled zone in the 1950s and 1960s. Cloaked in the paraphernalia of Sharifian legitimacy and Hashemite Arabism, the economic dependence of the East Bankers allowed the monarchy to survive the onslaught of Nasserism between 1954 and 1964 and Palestinian nationalism between 1964 and 1971. The economic boom of the 1970s brought political stability as well as rapid economic growth but paradoxically, also eroded the efficacy of the compact. The prosperity engendered by the inflow of rents and remittances concentrated itself in Amman, Irbid and their environs. As boom turned to bust in the 1980s, the East Bank hinterlands began to show an increasing disenchantment at their steady marginalization in economic life. With the onset of economic crisis in 1988, cracks in the Hashemite compact became apparent. A rising tide of protests eventually culminated in major austerity riots in April, 1989 that brought a search for new forms of Hashemite rule.
