Abstract:

In March 2016, the Syrian crisis entered its fifth year in war with no end in sight. While current strategies utilized by international aid agencies to address this humanitarian crisis have focused on short-term emergency relief, future considerations on its long-term management are lacking. Due in fact to people's pressing needs in war-torn areas, not enough development programs, plans and research on how to incorporate sustainable strategies has been placed into the management of the crisis. With particular focus on the role of developmental and relief aid workers in the management of the crisis in Syria, this paper aims to answer two questions: (1) how does one manage relief and recovery efforts looking towards the long term in a context of such short term pressing needs? (2) What role does management and lack thereof play in the subject of the effects of the Syrian war? In an effort to address these questions, interviews were conducted on 8 individuals from various professional backgrounds (i.e. medical, development, local councils etc...) who had significant field contributions/experiences in Syria. In addition, a literature review was carried out to examine existing research on the topics of sustainable development and development aid. Findings show that a shift is taking place in the frameworks of how aid workers are responding to the needs of people in the war. The aid system is starting to focus on instilling self-reliance, resilience and stability into communities, and assisting people with the tools to manage sustainable lives. However, it requires much needed management to achieve the desired sustainable outcomes. Moreover, this field still requires further research and considerations. A bitter reality of this context is that the war is political in nature and attempts for sustainable practices cannot serve as resolution to the situation but as means to restore dignity and livelihood back into the victims of a war.

Abstract:

Safe Zone (or Safe Space) programs are common on college campuses to encourage support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, (LGBTQ) and other people who identify as sexual and gender minorities. However, research describing the efficacy of Safe Zone programs is infrequent and often methodologically problematic. A program evaluation was performed of the Safe Zone Network program at the University at Buffalo, SUNY (UB). Measures were chosen to assess homonegativity, LGBTQ knowledge, attitudes, self-reported behavior, and identification as an LGBTQ ally, as well as a demographic survey. These measures were administered via paper survey before and after participation in the Safe Zone Network workshop. The same measures were administered before and after a health education program for use as control measurements. The data were analyzed with correlations and repeated-measures ANOVA. At pretest more pro-LGBTQ knowledge, attitudes, self-reported behavior, and ally self-identification was associated with identifying as a sexual and/or gender minority, attending the workshop voluntarily, being younger, and having more LGBTQ social contact prior to the workshop. Participation in the Safe Zone workshop was associated with significant changes in decreased homonegativity and hate, as well as increased LGBTQ knowledge and self-identifying as an LGBTQ ally, when compared to the control group. Despite differences in pretest scores based on the reason for participating in the workshop, reason for participation did not significantly relate to the amount variables changed over the workshop time, indicating that the workshop may be beneficial for both mandated and voluntary participants. More pro-LGBTQ pretest scores may have indicated more likelihood to change during the program. Overall, these results suggested that the UB Safe Zone Network program is related to prosocial changes in knowledge, attitudes, behaviors (such as the proxy could estimate), and ally self-identification, particularly for participants who are primed to be more sensitive to these issues. Results were discussed in context of current research. Limitations and future directions for research were discussed.

Many rural areas throughout the Great Plains and Midwest have been affected by a “brain drain,” or the outward migration of highly trained or well-educated people. This hurts many facets of rural communities, including local schools, economies, and available services. In response to a negative outlook for rural areas, in 2012 the State of Kansas implemented the Rural Opportunity Zone (ROZ) Program to encourage young, college-educated adults to move to rural counties. The ROZ program provides tax waivers and student loan repayments to those willing to relocate to participating counties. This research looks at what influences young educated adults to participate in the program as well as how the ROZ’s financial benefits potentially outweigh the drawbacks associated with rural life. The research employed a survey of Kansas State University students as well as interviews with local economic development officials who manage the program. Survey results reveal that even though the majority of students have a stated rural preference most do not view themselves as likely to participate in the program. Despite student interest in the program benefits most view the lack of services and employment opportunities in rural Kansas to be too much of a drawback. County officials expressed similar feelings. Interviews revealed that, though the program primarily benefits those though were already intending to live in a rural area, the program rarely attracts newcomers. In addition, the program is poorly funded in many areas and the lack of affordable housing or high paying jobs limits population growth in a way that the benefits of the ROZ cannot outweigh. Findings from this research will allow communities to make changes that build upon their attributes as well as limit their undesirable characteristics. This research also highlights the need for changes to be made by the State of Kansas concerning the program’s benefits and awareness.

Abstract:

Grid computing is a field of research that combines many computers from distant locations to form one large computing resource. In order to be able to make use of the full potential of such a system there is a need to effectively manage resources on the Grid. There are numerous scheduling systems to perform this management for clusters of computers and a few scheduling systems for the Grid. These systems try for optimality (or close to optimality) with the goals of obtaining good throughput and minimizing job completion time.

In this research, we examine issues that we believe have not been tackled in schedulers for the Grid. These issues revolve around the problem of coordinating resources belonging to separate administrative domains and scheduling in this context. In order for grid computingâ s vision of virtual organizations to be realized to its fullest extent, there is a need to implement and test schedulers that find resources and schedule tasks on them in a manner that is transparent to the user. These resources might be on a different administrative domain altogether and obtaining either resource or user account information on those resources might be difficult. Also, each organization might require their own policies and mechanisms to be enforced. Hence having a centralized scheduler is not feasible due to the pragmatics of the Grid.

There are two basic aims to this thesis. The first aim is to design and implement a framework that takes administrative concerns into consideration during scheduling. The aim of the framework is to provide a lightweight, extensible, secure and scalable architecture under which multiple scheduling algorithms can be implemented. Second, we evaluate two prototypical of scheduling algorithms in the context of this framework. Scheduling algorithms are diverse and the applications are varied. Thus no single algorithm can obtain a good mapping for every application. We believe that different scheduling algorithms will be necessary to schedule different types of applications. In order to facilitate development of such algorithms, a framework in which it is easy to integrate other scheduling algorithms is necessary. The framework developed in this project is designed for such extensibility.

Abstract:
Social research specifically aimed at evaluating the efficacy of coastal zone management programs at the parish (county) level in building local capacities has been meager in academic literatures and absent from Louisiana Department of Natural Resources evaluative reports. This study addresses this deficiency by examining the effectiveness of Louisiana's Local Coastal Program (LCP) in building local coastal zone management capacity. Using levels of LCP development as a proxy for capacity-building, the study examines the influence of: 1) aggregate level social and demographic characteristics, 2) structural differences, and 3) different types of issue framing (i.e. "regulator" framing versus "regulated" framing). A multiple case design, using survey, interview, observation, and archival methods of data collection, produces two multi-layered data sets - one at the parish level (nineteen Coastal Zone parishes) and the other at the individual level (a target population of parish officials, CZM administrators and advisory panel members). Patterns in findings from quantitative and qualitative analysis are matched to rival theories, namely, resource mobilization theory and social construction theory. The analyses show that parishes with LCPs have a much stronger presence of "regulator" framing than do parishes without LCPs. The "regulator" frame is particularly strong among LCP/CZM advisory panel members, while agreement with regulator frames is lowest among parish council or police jury members. Coastal hazards vulnerability is highly salient to parishes both with and without LCPs, but the translation of hazard impacts to economic vulnerabilities, such as infrastructure damage, property loss and business interruption, is far weaker for non-LCP parishes. Themes prevalent in the data include contentions over wetland mitigation issues, disjunctions between the restorative and regulatory arm of LADNR, and disparate perceptions between non-LCP parishes and LCP parishes concerning the benefits of a parish LCP over developmental and maintenance costs. Overall findings indicate that while resource mobilization is necessary to programmatic participation and the building of capacity, social construction theory can explain the differences between respondent agreement with the regulator frame, and thus the presence of institutional capacity.

Il y a une forte concordance entre les mesures spectrophotometriques de laboratoire et les mesures radiometriques de terrain qui ont permis de trouver une relation qualitative et quantitative entre la reponse spectrale des sols et leurs principaux composants mineralogiques. De plus a partir des mesures radiometriques de terrain il a ete possible de mettre en evidence l'effet important de la composition granulometrique et de la rugosite du sol sur la reponse spectrale de celui-ci. L'etude des donnees aeroportees et satellitaires a permis d'identifier, par le biais d'indices radiometriques les differents types de sols en fonction de leurs compositions mineralogiques et granulometriques. On a pu mettre en evidence l'effet de l'humidite durant la saison des pluies et des aerosols desertiques durant la saison seche sur l'information donnee par certains indices radiometriques.

Abstract:
Street harassment, the sexual harassment by strangers in public places, is a common experience shared by many women and has been linked with other forms of sexual victimization. The negative impact of street harassment, such as fear and behavior to avoid being harassed, points to the need for preventing the behavior. This study sought to determine whether the documentary-style film War Zone may be effective in impacting men’s attitudes toward street harassment, and whether the effectiveness of the film would depend on men’s hostility toward women and level of peer acceptance for street harassment. Findings do not support the effectiveness of War Zone as a component of street harassment prevention. However, the data does suggest that endorsement of hostile attitudes toward women predicts a lack of empathy, and that endorsement of hostile attitudes toward women, a lack of empathy, and peer acceptance of street harassment predict acceptance of street harassment.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine curricular programs in private, public choice, and public attendance-zone schools to determine whether differences exist among curricular programs in the three types of schools. The findings from the student survey data indicated that private school students reported their curriculum to be more challenging than public school students, but no other significant differences were noted. Findings from the teacher survey showed more positive results for private schools in indicators of a challenging curriculum, expectations of students, school climate, and external support than public schools. This study showed that of the types of schools examined, Catholic schools exhibited the most consistent and well written curriculum that reflected the four research questions. Future research needs to be done to establish whether these indicators of a challenging curriculum result in higher student achievement.

Tracing the evolution of Earth's redox history is one of the great challenges of geobiology and geochemistry. The accumulation of photosynthetically derived oxygen transformed the redox state of Earth's surface environments, setting the stage for the subsequent evolution of complex life. However, the timing of the advent of oxygenic photosynthesis relative to the Great Oxidation Event (GOE; -2.4 Ga) is poorly constrained. After the deep ocean became oxygenated in the early Phanerozoic, hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic to most aerobes, may have transiently accumulated in the marine photic zone (i.e. photic zone euxinia; PZE) during mass extinctions and oceanic anoxic events. Here, the molecular fossil evidence for oxygenic photosynthesis and eukaryotes is reevaluated, where the results imply that currently existing lipid biomarkers are contaminants. Next, the stratigraphic distribution of green and purple sulfur bacteria biomarkers through geologic time is evaluated to test whether these compounds reflect a water column sulfide signal, which is implicit in their utility as PZE paleoredox proxies. Results from a modern case study underscore the need to consider allochthonous and microbial mat sources and the role of basin restriction as alternative explanations for these biomarkers in the geologic record, in addition to an autochthonous planktonic source.

A growing concern for the United States and the World Health Organization is that Americans are getting fatter. The obesity rates continue to rise in 23 states (Science & Technology, 2009). There is also a high incidence of childhood obesity among children ages 10-17. The epidemic of obesity goes far beyond being an individual problem. It has become a national crisis. The obesity epidemic calls for a well-formulated strategy. This study involved a physical education program with 12 African American female teenagers ranging from grades 7 – 11. The program was designed to help students realize the importance of preparing for a healthy future. The African American females met one hour a day for three days a week. As part of the program, each student’s fitness performance was evaluated using the FitnessGram protocol. Pretesting begins at the start of school and post testing during second semester. The FitnessGram report gives the performance levels for the Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) and the “Needs Improvement” zone. Attaining the HFZ for a test indicates that the student has a sufficient fitness level to provide important health benefits. The “Needs Improvement” zone indicates that the student may be at risk of health issues if that level of fitness remains the same over time. The Healthy Fitness Zone and Needs Improvement consists of three basic components: (1) Aerobic capacity; (2) muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility; (3) body composition (Meredith, FitnessGram, 2007). Students’ personal fitness information was charted daily during the program. The data collected for the personal profile assisted teenagers in setting goals related to reducing their weight and building self-esteem (Bronson, Glencoe Health, 2004). Monitoring and charting profiles provided guidelines for accomplishing goals that were necessary for changing students’ body image. The findings of this study indicated that the African American teenage participants did not want to commit to the exercise needed to improve their cardiovascular and personal fitness levels. Participants realized that skipping meals did not help with losing weight. When the students did eat, they tended to overeat and make unwise food choices.

Many features of the oceanic plates cannot be explained by conductive cooling with age. A number of these anomalies require additional convective thermal sources at depths below the plate: mid-plate swells, the evolution of fracture zones, the mean depth and heat flow relationships with age and the observation of small scale (150-250 km) geoid and topography anomalies in the Central Pacific and Indian oceans. Convective models are presented of the formation and evolution of these features. In particular, the effect of a shallow low viscosity layer in the uppermost mantle on mantle flow and its geoid, topography, gravity and heat flow expression is explored. A simple numerical model is employed of convection in a fluid which has a low viscosity layer lying between a rigid bed and a constant viscosity region. Finite element calculations have been used to determine the effects of (1) the viscosity contrast between the two fluid layers, (2) the thickness of the low viscosity zone, (3) the thickness of the conducting lid, and (4) the Rayleigh number of the fluid based on the viscosity of the lower layer. A model simple for mid-plate swells is that they are the surface expression of a convection cell driven by a heat flux from below. The low viscosity zone causes the top boundary layer of the convection cell to thin and, at high viscosity contrasts and Rayleigh numbers, it can cause the boundary layer to go unstable. The low viscosity zone also mitigates the transmission of normal stress to the conducting lid so that the topography and geoid anomalies decrease. The geoid anomaly decreases faster than the topography anomaly, however, so that the depth of compensation can appear to be well within the conducting lid. Because the boundary layer is thinned, the elastic plate thickness also decreases and, since the low viscosity allows the fluid to flow faster in the top layer, the uplift time decreases as well. We have compared the results of this modeling to data at the Hawaii, Bermuda, Cape Verde and Marquesas swells, and have found that it can reproduce their observed anomalies. The viscosity contrasts that are required range from 0.2-0.01, which are in agreement with other estimates of shallow viscosity variation in the upper mantle. Also, the estimated viscosity contrast decreases as the age of the swell increases. This trend is consistent with theoretical estimates of the variation of such a low viscosity zone with age. Fracture zones juxtapose segments of the oceanic plates of different ages and thermal structures. The flow induced by the horizontal temperature gradient at the fracture zone initially downwells immediately adjacent to the fracture zone on the older side, generating cells on either side of the plume. The time scale and characteristic wavelength of this flow depends initially on the viscosity near the largest temperature gradient in the fluid which, in our model, is the viscosity of the low viscosity layer. They therefore depend on both the Rayleigh number and the viscosity contrast between the layers. Eventually the flow extends throughout the box, and the time scales and the characteristic wavelengths of the flow depend on the thickness and viscosity of both layers. When the Rayleigh number based on the viscosity of the top la er, and the depth of both fluid layers, is less than 10 , the geoid anomalies of these flows are dominated by the convective signal. When this Rayleigh number exceeds 106, the geoid anomalies retain a step across the fracture zone out to large ages. We have compared our results to geoid anomalies over the Udintsev fracture zone, and have found that the predicted geoid anomalies, with high effective Rayleigh numbers, agree at longer wavelengths with the observed anomalies and can produce the observed geoid slope-age behaviour. We have also compared the calculated topographic steps to those predicted by the average depth-age relationships observed in the oceans. We have found that only with a low viscosity zone will the flow due to fracture zones not disturb the average depth versus age relationships. We have also applied the model to a numerical study of the effect of a low viscosity zone in the uppermost mantle on the onset and surface expression of convective instabilities in the cooling oceanic plates. We find that the onset and magnitude of the geoid, topography and heat flow anomalies produced by these instabilities are very sensitive to the viscosity contrast and the Rayleigh number, and that the thickness of the low viscosity zone is constrained by the wavelength of the observables. If the Rayleigh number of the low viscosity zone exceeds a critical value then the convection will be confined to the low viscosity zone for a period which depends on the viscosity contrast and the Rayleigh number. The small scale convection will eventually decay into longer wavelength convection which extends throughout the upper mantle, so that the small scale convective signal will eventually be succeeded by a longer wavelength signal. We compare our model to the small scale geoid and topography anomalies observed in the Southeast Pacific. The magnitude (0.50-0.80 m in geoid and 250 m in topography), early onset time (5-10 m.y.) and lifetime (over 40 m.y.) of these anomalies suggest a large viscosity contrast of greater than two orders of magnitude. The trend to longer wavelengths also suggests a high Rayleigh number of near or over 10 and their original 150-250 km wavelength indicates a low viscosity zone of 75- 125 km thickness. We have found that the presence of such small scale convection does not disturb the slope of the depth-age curve but elevates it by up to 250 m, and it is not until the onset of long wavelength convection that the depth-age curves radically depart from a cooling halfspace model. In the Pacific, the depth-age curve is slightly elevated in the region where small scale convection is observed and it does not depart from a halfspace cooling model until an age of 70 m.y.. Models that produce the small scale anomalies predict a departure time between 55 and 65 m.y.

Abstract:
Multinomial selection problem procedures are ranking and selection techniques that aim to select the best (most probable) alternative based upon a sequence of multinomial observations. The classical formulation of the procedure design problem is to find a decision rule for terminating sampling. The decision rule should minimize the expected number of observations taken while achieving a specified indifference zone requirement on the prior probability of making a correct selection when the alternative configurations are in a particular subset of the probability space called the preference zone. We study the constrained version of the design problem in which there is a given maximum number of allowed observations. Numerous procedures have been proposed over the past 50 years, all of them suboptimal. In this thesis, we find via linear programming the optimal selection procedure for any given probability configuration. The optimal procedure turns out to be necessarily randomized in many cases. We also find via mixed integer programming the optimal non-randomized procedure. We demonstrate the performance of the methodology on a number of examples. We then reformulate the mathematical programs to make them more efficient to implement, thereby significantly expanding the range of computationally feasible problems. We prove that there exists an optimal policy which has at most one randomized decision point and we develop a procedure for finding such a policy. We also extend our formulation to replicate existing procedures. Next, we show that there is very little difference between the relative performances of the optimal randomized and non-randomized procedures. Additionally, we compare existing procedures using the optimal procedure as a benchmark, and produce updated tables for a number of those procedures. Then, we develop a methodology that guarantees the optimal randomized and non-randomized procedures for a broad class of variable observation cost functions -- the first of its kind. We examine procedure performance under a variety of cost functions, demonstrating that incorrect assumptions regarding marginal observation costs may lead to increased total costs. Finally, we investigate and challenge key assumptions concerning the indifference zone parameter and the conditional probability of correct selection, revealing some interesting implications.

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to examine how entrepreneurs in North Rinkeby perceive the Enterprise zone (EZ) program suggested by the Swedish government. The purpose of implementing an enterprise zone program is to revive the economic and social condition of deprived areas. This study analyzes the perception of this proposal by examining it on a regional level.  What are the entrepreneurs’ knowledge about the proposed policy and their perception on how it will influence their decisions of employment or relocation? The method of the research is a case study of North Rinkeby area, which is one of the areas under consideration for becoming part of the proposal.  Survey questionnaires were conducted in North Rinkeby, and the neighboring areas Tensta and Bromsten. 38 respondents were surveyed regarding their perception of how the enterprise zone proposal would influence factors such as employment and entrepreneurial start-ups. The results show that many of the entrepreneurs in the North Rinkeby area are in favor of a proposal such as the Enterprise zone program which the government have suggested. Many of the respondents had little or no knowledge of the proposal of the enterprise zone program. Many of entrepreneurs found that the proposal to be unfair in terms of competition between firms in North Rinkey and its neighboring areas. At a regional level many of the entrepreneurs welcomed the proposal and agreed that if it were to be implemented, it would have a growth enhancing effect for many firms. This in turn, would lead to a positive change in firm’s employability and profitability. The respondents also thought that the proposal would increase the amount of start-ups in North Rinkeby if it were to be implemented. The investigators of this proposal have argued that relocation to the chosen area would be large from the neighboring areas. The result were mixed among entrepreneurs in the neighboring areas as how they view the relocation factor.  Even though the enterprise zone program was recently rejected, many of the entrepreneurs in all of the three areas perceived this proposal as welfare enhancing.

In the city of Manaus, the capital of the Amazonas State, there is one of the largest industrial complexes in the country that is the Free Trade Zone of Manaus (Zona Franca of Manaus - ZFM). It was created in 1967 by the federal government to drive the economic development of Western Amazon. During its implantation, fiscal incentives were given for 30 years. However, in the promulgation of the Brazilian Constitution it would end in 2013. After this, according the 42nd constitutional amendment, another ten years were added to the 2013 deadline, stretching its validity to 2023. In the ZFM there is an industrial park with advanced technologies and currently has 550 industries generating around 135 thousand direct jobs in the factories. In this scenario, the study investigates the productive and quality gains in Manaus’s Industrial Pole – PIM with the newly acquired knowledge in the Production Engineering Mastership Program of the Federal University of Amazonas –UFAM in the last five years. A qualitative study was conducted and the methods that were adopted to collect data were bibliographical and documental research, case studies and field research. The research revealed that the productivity and quality gains in the PIM were countless, demonstrating that the companies that received such qualified manpower had the following performances: improved production time and efficiency, yielding more competitiveness to the company; maximization of time, work rhythm, abilities, efforts and routines; gains due to a better balancing of production lines; and elimination of bottlenecks and activities that didn’t add any value. There were improvements in the measurement of monthly efficiency and standard costs, as well as, better efficiency and productivity in the companies. With these results, the PIM companies levered their production. The investment in professionally qualifying their workers was important for the companies to improve their productivity. The results in this research prove that the egresses of the Production Engineering Mastership Program of UFAM are fundamental parts of PIM’s development.
Na cidade de Manaus, capital do Estado do Amazonas, situa-se um dos maiores complexos industriais do país, que é a Zona Franca de Manaus. Criada em 1967, pelo governo federal, para impulsionar o desenvolvimento econômico da Amazônia Ocidental. Na sua instalação, os incentivos fiscais foram concedidos pelo prazo de trinta anos. Entretanto, na época da promulgação da Constituição terminaria em 2013. Posteriormente, por meio da Emenda Constituticonal n. 42, foi acrescido dez anos ao prazo que terminaria em 2013, passando sua vigência até 2023. Na ZFM encontra-se instalado um parque industrial dotado de condições tecnológicas de elevado padrão, e atualmente tem 550 indústrias gerando cerca de 135 mil empregos diretos no chão das fábricas. Neste cenário, o estudo investigou os ganhos de produtividade e qualidade no Polo Industrial de Manaus - PIM, com novos conhecimentos adquiridos pelos egressos do Mestrado Profissional em Engenharia de Produção da Universidade Federal do Amazonas - UFAM, nos últimos cinco anos. Foi realizado um estudo de cunho qualitativo e os métodos adotados para a coleta de dados foram a pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, estudo de caso e pesquisa de campo. A pesquisa revelou que foram os inúmeros os ganhos de produtividade e qualidade para o PIM, onde se constatou que as empresas que receberam tal mão de obra qualificada apresentaram as seguintes performances: Melhoria de tempo de produção e eficiência, gerando maior competitividade da empresa; Maximização do tempo, ritmo de trabalho, habilidade, esforço, rotina; Ganhos pelo melhor balanceamento de linhas de produção e eliminação gargalos e atividades não agregaram valor. Houve melhor medição da eficiência e do custo padrão mês a mês, além de melhora na eficiência e na produtividade da empresa. Com esses resultados as empresas do PIM, alavancaram suas produções. Para conseguir melhor produtividade, foi importante as empresas investirem na qualificação profissional dos funcionários. O resultado da pesquisa comprova que os egressos do Mestrado em Engenharia de Produção da UFAM, são peças fundamentais para o desenvolvimento do PIM.

This paper begins to explore a previously neglected mechanism for abyssal ocean mixing using bottom boundary layer dynamics. Abyssal mixing and the associated upward buoyancy fluxes are necessary to balance the sinking of dense waters at high latitudes and to close the global overturning circulation. Previous studies have concentrated on the hypothesis that the primary mechanism for this mixing is breaking internal waves generated by tidal flows over rough topography. However, intriguing observations, particularly from the Brazil Basin Tracer Release Experiment, suggest that mixing in the flank canyons of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge generated when strong mean flows interact with the many sills and constrictions within the canyons may represent a dynamically important amount of abyssal mixing. The energy pathways and mechanisms of this mixing are much less clear than in the case of breaking internal waves. This study attempts to clarify this by suggesting an analogy with an idealized diffusive boundary layer over a sloping bottom. This boundary layer is characterized by up-slope flows powered by the buoyancy flux in the fluid far from the boundary. Here we explore the energy budget of the boundary layer, and find that the diffusive boundary layer provides flows that are generally consistent with those observed in submarine canyons. In addition, we derive the vertical velocity in the far-field fluid, analogous to an Ekman pumping velocity, that these boundary layers can induce when the bottom slope is not constant. Finally, we present both theoretical and numerical models of exchange flows between the bottom boundary and the far-field flow when the bottom slope is not constant. These exchange flows provide a mechanism by which boundary-driven mixing can affect the overall stratification and buoyancy fluxes of the basin interior.

A pesquisa se inscreve no âmbito dos estudos acerca da midiatização, descrevendo e problematizando as formas de interação entre a televisão e o telespectador, no contexto da Sociedade em vias de Midiatização. Desenvolve-se por meio do estudo de caso do quadro A empregada mais cheia de charme do Brasil, exibido pelo programa Fantástico da Rede Globo de Televisão, no período de junho a julho de 2012. Examinam-se, portanto, as marcas dessas novas relações que são instituídas mediante a inserção da atividade discursiva do telespectador na produção televisiva, através de um conjunto de vídeos enviados ao programa que materializam instruções e regras sobre as quais funciona certo tipo de contrato de leitura. A análise do caso abarcou como foco principal a constituição e o funcionamento de uma zona de contato enquanto instância interacional, que é acionada pela televisão por meio de protocolos de indução e de incursão, que estimulam a atividade discursiva e a participação do ator social, no sistema produtivo televisivo. Tais estratégias são verificadas no âmbito relacional - produção e recepção - a partir de operações tecnodiscursivas que são engendradas pelo Fantástico, tanto em sua versão televisiva, quanto em sua página na Internet. Como resultado, apontou-se que a participação do ator social na textualidade do programa é consequência de um complexo processo de indução, por meio do qual se gera um novo tipo de relação e de acesso do ator social ao sistema midiático. A pesquisa propõe como conclusão que os processos sociotécnicos evidenciados pela midiatização - como as novas condições de circulação e os novos dispositivos técnicos convertidos em meios de comunicação - ao serem transformados em estratégias de contato e de interação pela televisão, redesenham as formas de geração de vínculos com a sociedade. Nessa perspectiva, o telespectador é inserido de outra forma no processo de interação, gerando marcas de uma nova textualidade, a qual tem como base as coenunciações e as novas formas de acesso do ator social ao sistema midiático.
The research is concerned about studies of mediatization, describing and discussing the ways of interaction between television and viewer, in the Society context in Mediatization. It was developed through the study case of A empregada mais cheia de charme do Brasil (The charmest maid of Brazil) broadcasted by the program Fantático by Globo Network, from June to July of 2012. It is examined, therefore, the marks of these new relations stablished on this new interactional apparatus, by means of inserting the viewer discursive activity on the television production, through a set of videos sent to the program that bring instructions and rules about which certain type of reading contract work. The case analysis approached as main focus the constitution and the functioning of a contact zone while interactional instance, that is actuated by the television through induction and incursion protocols which stimulate the discursive activity and the social actor participation on the television production system. Such strategies are verified on relational range – production and reception – from techno-discursive operations which are produced by Fantástico, as much on its televised version as on its Internet webpage. As a result, it was pointed that the social actor participation in the program textuality is a consequence of a complex induction process, by which is created a new type of relation and access of the social actor to the mediatization. The research suggests as a conclusion that the sociotechnical process evidenced by the mediatization process – as the new circulation conditions and the new technical devices converted into means of communication - by being converted into contact and interaction strategies by the television, they redraw the ways of connection generation from the television to the society. On this perspective, the viewer is inserted in a different way in the interaction process, producing marks of a new textuality, which has as base the co-enunciations and the new ways of access of the social actor to the mediatization.

Abstract:
Cette thèse transdisciplinaire analyse le rôle de la chasse sportive dans les programmes de gestion participative de la faune sauvage en Afrique Centrale, plus particulièrement sur deux sites pilotes (nord RCA et sud-est Cameroun). Au cours du XXe siècle, la chasse sportive a vu ses pratiques évoluer fortement au travers de processus conjoints de « démocratisation », de professionnalisation et d'internationalisation de ses acteurs. Aujourd'hui, les sociétés de chasse peuvent jouer un rôle majeur dans la conservation, notamment en raison d'une emprise spatiale des zones cynégétiques conséquente, de prélèvements globalement soutenables et d'une bonne capacité de mise en défens du milieu naturel. Ce constat ne prend cependant tout son sens que lorsque leur activité s'insère dans des programmes associant Etat, projets et populations locales. L'analyse des techniques, des idéologies et des discours des guides de chasse puis de leur clientèle révèle l'antinomie de leurs conceptions du safari en même temps que la prégnance d'une nostalgie des chasses coloniales. On note aussi le fait surprenant que les « grands chasseurs blancs » s'insèrent souvent mieux dans les contextes socioculturels ruraux que d'autres acteurs exogènes. Enfin, si l'argumentaire économique qui présente la chasse sportive comme un outil pertinent des programmes de gestion participative de la faune sauvage reste valide, il est néanmoins essentiel de ne pas occulter les limites conceptuelles et techniques des modèles proposés ainsi que les véritables enjeux d'appropriation de la ressource et de l'espace qu'ils sous-tendent.

Physical oceanographers have known for several decades the total amount of abyssal mixing and upwelling required to balance the deep-water formation, but are still working to understand the mechanisms and locations-how and where it happens. From observational studies, we know that areas of rough topography are important and the hundreds of Grand-Canyon sized canyons that line mid-ocean ridges have particularly energetic mixing. To better understand the mechanisms by which rough topography translates into energetic currents and mixing, I studied diffusive boundary layers over varying topography using theoretical approaches and idealized numerical simulations using the ROMS model. In this dissertation, I show a variety of previously unidentified characteristics of diffusive boundary layers that are likely relevant for understanding the circulation of the abyssal ocean. These boundary layers share many important properties with observed flows in abyssal canyons, like increased kinetic energy near topographic sills and strong currents running from the abyssal plains up the slopes of the mid-ocean ridges toward their crests. They also have a previously unknown capacity to accelerate into overflows for a variety of oceanographically relevant shapes and sizes of topography. This acceleration happens without external forcing, meaning such overflows may be ubiquitous in the deep ocean. These boundary layers also can force exchange of large volumes of fluid between the relatively unstratified boundary layer and the stratified far-field fluid, altering the stratification far from the boundary. We see these effects in boundary layers in two- and three-dimensions, with and without rotation. In conclusion, these boundary layer processes, though previously neglected, may be a source of a dynamically important amount of abyssal upwelling, profoundly affecting predictions of the basin-scale circulation. This type of mechanism cannot be captured by the kind of mixing parameterizations used in current global climate models, based on a bottom roughness. Therefore, there is much work still to do to better understand how these boundary layers behave in more realistic contexts and how we might incorporate that understanding into climate models.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os diversos processos urbanos, econômicos e sociais em andamento na região da zona leste de São Paulo, buscando revelar as características da região, bem como relacioná-las ao desenvolvimento urbano da cidade. Pretende-se, com isso, compreender a sua função dentro da divisão socioterritorial do trabalho, na escala da cidade e da metrópole paulista, bem como compreender suas diferenciações internas por meio do levantamento de áreas de centralidades. A zona leste de São Paulo é caracterizada, historicamente, por carências de infraestrutura urbana, alta densidade populacional e construtiva, sendo ocupada por uma população majoritariamente de baixa renda e com poucas ofertas de trabalho, conformando um conjunto de bairros dormitórios com altos índices de precariedade urbana em sua região mais periférica. Contudo, sabe-se que esse território, de grande extensão, não é homogêneo, sendo que sua porção mais próxima da região central da cidade apresenta um acesso maior a equipamentos públicos e uma estrutura urbana menos precarizada. O que se pretende, com a pesquisa, é justamente detalhar as diferentes lógicas presentes na estruturação desse território. Como recorte temporal para a compreensão dos processos em curso, serão utilizados microdados do Censo IBGE 2000 e 2010, o estudo dos lançamentos imobiliários na região nas últimas décadas, pesquisa em órgãos públicos ligados ao provimento de infraestrutura de trânsito, transporte e planejamento urbano, análise do perfil econômico das empresas instaladas na região e determinação das áreas de centralidades urbanas existentes. Assim, pretende-se compreender a qualidade das dinâmicas e processos envolvidos na produção desse espaço urbano e sua relação com o estudo
This study aims to analyze the various urban, economic and social processes underway in the region of the eastern zone of São Paulo, seeking to reveal the characteristics of the region and relate it to the urban development of the city. It is intended with this, understand their role within the socio-territorial division of labor, the scale of the city and the metropolis as well as understand their internal differentiations by surveying centrality areas. The East Zone of São Paulo is characterized historically by deficiencies in urban infrastructure, high population density and constructive, being occupied by a largely low-income population and few job offers, conforming a set of neighborhoods dormitories with high precariousness rates urban in its peripheral region. However, it is known that this territory of great extent, is not homogeneous, and its closest portion of the central area of the city has increased access to public facilities and a less precarious urban structure. The aim with the research, is precisely detail the different logics present in the structure of this territory. As time frame for the understanding of current processes, IBGE 2000 census microdata will be used and 2010, the study of real estate launches in the region in the last decades, research in public agencies related to transit infrastructure provision, transport and urban planning, analysis economic profile of the companies established in the region and identification of existing urban areas centralities. Thus, it is intended to understand the quality of the dynamics and processes involved in the production of this urban space and its relationship to the study of existing urban segregation in São Paulo.

Apesar da importância do monitoramento das unidades de conservação (UCs) marinhas, problemas logísticos e orçamentários dificultam sua realização e, consequentemente, a gestão efetiva dessas áreas. Por isso, é necessária a busca por alternativas de baixo custo que possam auxiliar nessas questões. A abordagem por biótopos associada à ciência cidadã mostra-se adequada para o monitoramento de comunidades marinhas bentônicas por possibilitar extensa amostragem em curto período de tempo e com baixo custo, além de integrar cidadãos ativamente em produções de conhecimento. Essa pode ser uma ferramenta interessante para o monitoramento de UCs marinhas; porém, é importante que a elaboração do protocolo de monitoramento e sua validação sejam realizadas considerando-se as recomendações da literatura. Nesse sentido, este trabalho se propôs a (1) avaliar o status dos protocolos de ciência cidadã para bentos marinho e costeiro no mundo e (2) a propor, aplicar e validar o uso da ciência cidadã associada à abordagem por biótopos como uma ferramenta para o monitoramento de comunidades bentônicas em UCs marinhas. Para isso, realizamos o levantamento e comparação da estrutura de protocolos de ciência cidadã para bentos costeiro e marinho, incluindo o protocolo proposto no presente estudo. Apesar da maioria dos projetos encontrados apresentarem várias das características recomendadas pela literatura, seus principais interesses são a coleta de dados e os resultados oriundos destes, ficando a educação dos CCs, sua inclusão no processo de desenvolvimento do protocolo e sua avaliação em segundo plano. Sugerimos que os protocolos considerem a educação científica e ambiental dos CCs como um objetivo a ser atingido, e nosso protocolo leva tais ideias em consideração. Para embasar a elaboração do nosso protocolo, realizamos um levantamento prévio dos biótopos de um trecho do infralitoral consolidado da Ilha das Palmas (Estação Ecológica Tupinambás, Ubatuba/SP). Nesse levantamento, foram identificados 20 biótopos e três animais vágeis associados em apenas um mergulho. Também foram detectados organismos invasores e a dominância de tapetes na área de estudo. Isso é um demonstrativo de que a caracterização de comunidades marinhas bentônicas utilizando o método visual por biótopos pode agilizar a identificação de possíveis impactos negativos e a realização de planos de prevenção ou mitigação dos mesmos. Cientistas cidadãos (CCs) voluntários foram capacitados no uso do protocolo, que foi dividido em duas etapas: (1) a coleta de dados, que consistiu de registros fotográficos padronizados do costão rochoso; e (2) o processamento das fotografias, que consistiu da identificação (ID) dos biótopos nas fotos em um curso presencial. As fotos obtidas durante a Etapa 1 estão disponíveis na plataforma Zooniverse, através do projeto Monitore Tupinambás (https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/larissakawabe/monitore-tupinambas), no qual qualquer voluntário pode contribuir com as análises, seguindo o tutorial disponível. A avaliação educacional da pesquisa, realizada através de questionários pré e pós-atividade, mostrou principalmente que houve mudanças de percepção dos CCs em relação ao ambiente estudado. Para a validação dos dados da Etapa 2, comparamos as IDs dos biótopos realizadas pelas pesquisadoras (grupo controle) e CCs (grupo experimental), analisando a precisão e acurácia das respostas. Apesar das limitações inerentes do método utilizado (ID por foto) e das necessidades de modificação do protocolo identificadas por CCs e pesquisadoras; os resultados de acurácia e precisão foram comparáveis aos de outros trabalhos similares, demonstrando que esse protocolo, o primeiro a ser desenvolvido com foco em bentos marinho no Brasil, é uma ferramenta promissora para o monitoramento participativo e de longo prazo das UCs marinhas do país, auxiliando na gestão dessas áreas e na educação ambiental e científica dos cidadãos participantes.
Despite the importance of monitoring the marine protected areas (MPAs), logistical and budgetary problems make it difficult to carry out and, consequently, affect the effective management of these areas. Therefore, it is necessary to search for low-cost alternatives that could help with these issues. The biotope approach associated with citizen science could be interesting for the monitoring of marine benthic communities because it allows extensive sampling in a relatively short period of time and at low cost. At the same time, citizens are integrated as active contributors in the knowledge production. This can be an interesting tool for the MPA monitoring; however, it is important that the elaboration of the monitoring protocol and its validation consider the literature recommendations. In this sense, this work aimed to (1) evaluate the status of citizen science protocols for marine and coastal benthos in the world and (2) to propose, apply and validate the use of citizen science associated with the biotope approach as a tool for monitoring benthic communities in MPAs. For this, we conducted a survey and comparison of the structure of citizen science protocols for coastal and marine benthos, including the protocol proposed in the present study. Although most of the projects found present several of the characteristics recommended by the literature, their main interests are the data collection and their results, being the education of citizen scientists, their inclusion in the protocol development process and their evaluation in the background. We suggest that the protocols consider the scientific and environmental education of citizen scientists as a goal to be achieved, and our protocol takes such ideas into account. To support the elaboration of our protocol, we carried out a preliminary biotopes survey of a consolidated subtidal section of the Ilha das Palmas (Tupinambás Ecological Station, Ubatuba/SP). In this survey, 20 biotopes and three associated animals were identified in only one dive. Invasive organisms and carpet dominance were also detected in the study area. This is a demonstration that the benthic marine communities characterization using the biotope visual method can speed up the identification of possible negative impacts and the implementation of prevention or mitigation plans. Volunteer citizen scientists were trained in the use of the protocol, which was divided into two steps: (1) data collection, which consisted of standardized photographic records of the rocky reef; and (2) the processing of the photographs, which consisted of identification (ID) of the biotopes in the photos in a classroom course. The photos obtained during Stage 1 are available on the Zooniverse platform through the Monitore Tupinambás project (https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/larissakawabe/monitore-tupinambas), in which any volunteer can contribute to the analyzes, following the tutorial available. The educational evaluation of the research, performed through pre and post-activity questionnaires, showed mainly that there were changes in perception of citizen scientists in relation to the studied environment. For the data validation of Stage 2, we compared the biotope IDs performed by the researchers (control group) and citizen scientists (experimental group), analyzing their accuracy and precision. Despite the inherent limitations of the method used (ID per photo) and the identification by citizen scientists and researchers of protocol modification needs; the results of accuracy and precision were comparable to those of other similar studies, demonstrating that this protocol, the first developed with a focus on marine benthos in Brazil, is a promising tool for the participatory and long-term monitoring of the country's MPA, assisting in the management of these areas and in the environmental and scientific education of the citizens scientists.

Abstract:
The following study was conducted at an upper secondary school in Sweden and attempts to explore the question of what influences male pupils’ reading habits. Many quantitative international studies, including PISA, PIRLS and IEA Reading Literacy, have sought to answer this question, but only partially succeeded due to the limitations of their methods. Therefore, this study seeks to explore this question in more depth using qualitative methods, including interviews and classroom observations, but also minor tests. Two facts which the previously mentioned international studies have found is that boys and particularly immigrant boys tend to have worse reading results than their counterparts. It is therefore the aim of this study to study four male students in upper secondary school; of which two are native Swedes and the other two are unaccompanied refugee children; one from Afghanistan and the other from Morocco. The findings of this study are as follows. Firstly, necessity was found to be the single most important factor for the reading habits of these four pupils; especially the two refugees. Both refugees learnt to read under harsh circumstances in madrassas in their respective home countries. Moreover, the Moroccan pupil learnt to speak and read Spanish fluently during his seven years as a homeless child. Furthermore, in the absence of necessity, interest was found to be decisive in determining the pupils’ reading habits. In addition to this, the study theorizes that an interest in reading generally arises before the ability to read and not vice versa. However, teachers can in fact affect their pupils’ reading habits even in upper secondary school.

From a historical perspective, Taiwan’s economic policy and its periodical evolutions had generated remarkable economic performance that made itself well known as “Economic Miracle “ in past 30 years. Based on export-led growth strategy to promote development and active Cross-Straits’s trading in recent years, Taiwan has gained impressive economic growth but producing severe institutional imbalance and income disparity. Furthermore, Taiwan has been isolated from regional economic integration due to China’s political claim that Taiwan is a province of China rather than a legitimate sovereign state. In order to participate regional economic integration and to meet fierce trade competition, Taiwan Free Economic Pilot Zone (FEPZ) Program has been announced by President Ma in January 2012. The program is to provide a testing ground in which the policymaker can experiment with economic reforms to be rolled out nationwide. Meanwhile, China’s dramatic economic growth has delivered impressive welfare gains but also suffering structural imbalances so that the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone (SFTZ) was launched in August 2013 which lead a structural economic reform to come. In addition to SFTZ, Tianjin, Guangdong, Fujian has been set up in March 2015. The purpose of Taiwan’s FEPZ program aims to transform Taiwan to a whole Free Trade Zone by starting a wave of liberalization of regulations but it has caused a lot of controversy then failed through legislation. This thesis is based on “historical perspective”, combing through “political and economic integration” approach, with views of “bias” and “mobilization of bias" to analyze the factors influent policymaker’s stand while making decision, as well as to explore the political and economic caracteristics during the procedure of policy making. Such influences and interactions might be constraint or opportunity to Cross-Straits future’s cooperation. The conclusion includes 1. Taiwan’s Free Trade Zone is open to the global market. 2. The opportunity to develop new market such as Asian emerging economies to reduce dependence on single market. 3. Confront and prepare for TPP and RCEP. 4. The global economy is in transition to the Information Age led by innovation. The transition requires the rules and practices that determined success in the industrial economy which need rewriting in an interconnected, globalized economy where knowledge resources such as trade secrets and expertise are as critical as other economic resources. FEPZ could be a platform by introducing high value added services or green economic industry to attract foreign direct investment. 5.Cross-Straits free trade zones might play the role to lead a industrial reform in new decade. Policymaker should have the thinking onto prioritizing the resources and put national interest at first place. Civil society could be the third power to balance KMP and DPP party in Taiwan.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to explore the experiences of the school community with regard to the outcomes of a school improvement program (SIP) on the effectiveness of Sidama Zone schools. It was primarily a qualitative study, which explored the experiences of the school community with regard to the outcomes of the SIP. Four schools were purposefully selected. The data were collected by means of interviews, focus-group discussions, observations and relevant documents, and analyzed focusing on thematic categories. The findings indicated that in schools where there existed a strong collaboration of the school community in the planning, decision-making, monitoring and evaluation processes, the improvement initiatives were owned by all in the school and the performance of the schools was enhanced. On the other hand, the lack of collaboration in the school community negatively affected the performance of those schools. Besides, in all the schools the CPD was challenged by the resistance of the teachers, the lack of resources and poor implementation strategies. It also became apparent that the teachers' commitment to support each other and their students, to implement active learning methods and continuous assessment contributed to the effectiveness of the better-performing schools. Findings further revealed that to the contrary, these actions were loosely implemented in the poorly-performing schools. Though the peer learning approach was implemented, it became evident that there were mixed views regarding its benefits. The availability of the necessary facilities created an environment conducive to learning in schools one and three. Although there were attempts to implement extra-curricular activities for the social and emotional development of the students, its implementation was negatively affected by a lack of coordination and resources in the schools. In the poorly-performing schools, the school environment was found not to be conducive to teaching and learning. In the better-performing schools, the feedback from the school community was used as an input to make adjustments to the improvement process, and this created a feeling of ownership that led to the effectiveness of the schools. The outcomes of the study indicated that the promotion-rate of the students to the following grade was considered as a measure of the effectiveness of the schools. Conversely, the lack of proper participation of the school community in the school’s affairs, the lack of proper leadership support, the teachers’ resistance to participate in CPD, the non-existence of training opportunities and workshops for the teachers, and the shortage of resources were reported as challenges. From the findings it has been concluded that the SIP has contributed to school effectiveness in the schools that have properly managed the change process as opposed to those schools which remained poorly performing due to low level of SIP implementation. Finally, monitoring the SIP cycles, building trust between the principals and the teachers, creating a link between the schools and other institutions, introducing recognition mechanisms, and providing support to the poorly-performing schools were indicated as strategies to enhance the effectiveness of the school.
