Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The South-East Asia region is an increasingly economically important region due to its large population and development potential. The region has however experienced phases of substantial economic turmoil such as for instance the South-East Asia financial crisis of the 90’s. This dissertation analyses the short-term and long-term impacts of the financial crisis from a stock market point of view. This dissertation adds to the existing literature by focusing on the equity market rather than on the foreign exchange market which is the area covered in most of the existing literature. The results shows that the South-East Asia crisis was a rather complex event with quantitatively distinct phases. Granger causality and adjusted volatility analysis were also carried out. In both cases controlling for preexisting relations. The analysis shows that the South-East Asia financial crisis was a rather complex event, perhaps more complex than it is normally assumed, with dynamic interactions among the equity markets of the countries/jurisdictions analyzed. It will be shown that there was no country/jurisdiction that consistently drove the performance of the other countries/jurisdictions in the region. It will be also shown that the importance of some equity markets in the region shifted with for instance the equity market of Thailand becoming less regionally important and other countries, such as South Korea, becoming more important compared to the pre-crisis period.
It was also analyzed the impact of the legal system in the performance of the equity markets in the region. Most of the analyzed countries/jurisdictions analyzed, with the noticeable exception of Thailand, were colonized and the colonizing country tended to impose their own legal system. Three groups of major legal systems were analyzed including the English, French and German legal systems. Typically in the existing literature there is a four group usually called the Scandinavian system. However, this group was not included because Scandinavian countries did not colonize South-East Asia. The results suggest that the type of legal system has a statistically significant impact on equity performance. The results also suggest, but with less statistical robustness, that the English system appears to have an advantage, from an equity market performance point of view, compared to the French and German. The analysis was carried out using classical econometric models, controlling for several drivers of the stock market performance, as well as using a more systematic approach for model factor selection, using a Lasso algorithm. The Lasso regression automatically choses which drivers to use (from a pool of drivers) for a model. In this way the driver selection is more objective.
Finally, it was proposed an approach to try to detect Black Swan events such as financial crisis. The algorithm automatically selects the parameters of the forecasting algorithm used. For example, the length of the training data and the number of neurons in a neural network but can be extended to other forecasting techniques. This automated approach presents two advantages. First, it avoids the risk of biased model selection. After a financial crisis has happened it is tempting to find a quantitative model that (a posteriori) is able to detect the crisis, such as for instance changing the length of the training dataset until the model fits the data. Second, it is also allows for comparison among techniques that might require different parameter selections, such as the above mentioned length of the training data.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
No<br>Calls by political leaders, social activists, and international policy and aid actors for accountability reforms to improve governance have never been more widespread. For some analysts, the unprecedented scale of these pressures reflects the functional imperatives and power of liberal and democratic institutions accompanying greater global economic integration. This book offers a different perspective, investigating the crucial role of contrasting ideologies informing accountability movements and mediating reform directions in Southeast Asia. It argues that the most influential ideologies are not those promoting the political authority of democratic sovereign people or of liberalism's freely contracting individuals. Instead, in both post-authoritarian and authoritarian regimes, it is ideologies advancing the political authority of moral guardians interpreting or ordaining correct modes of behaviour for public officials. Elites exploit such ideologies to deflect and contain pressures for democratic and liberal reforms to governance institutions.
The book's case studies include human rights, political decentralization, anticorruption, and social accountability reform movements in Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. These studies highlight how effective propagation of moral ideologies is boosted by the presence of powerful organizations, notably religious bodies, political parties, and broadcast media. Meanwhile, civil society organizations of comparable clout advancing liberalism or democracy are lacking. The theoretical framework of the book has wide applicability. In other regions, with contrasting histories and political economies, the nature and extent of organizations and social actors shaping accountability politics will differ, but the importance of these factors to which ideologies prevail to shape reform directions will not.<br>Australian Research Council

Gooch, Lauren. "Atmospheric halocarbon measurements with a focus on East and South-East Asia." Thesis, University of East Anglia, 2016. https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/67064/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
A large variety of halocarbon species are present in the atmosphere and can significantly impact stratospheric ozone depletion and/or global warming. Compound use has been phased out, reduced and replaced for some species under global control measures such as the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols. However, relatively long atmospheric lifetimes, imperfect substitutes and incomplete reductions in usage mean that global abundances of halocarbon species still require regular monitoring. This is especially true for the rapidly developing East and South-East Asian regions where widespread emissions have been repeatedly reported in recent years. To detect a variety of halocarbon mixing ratios, air samples are cryotrapped and analysed via gas chromatography couple with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Highly sensitive and precise instrumentation widens this range further and the automation of the analysis system would improve and extend sample throughput. A semi-automated inlet system for a GC-MS set-up was constructed and cryotrapping with liquid nitrogen was tested successfully. In the atmosphere, anthropogenic emissions are the main source of many halocarbons, however methyl halides also have large natural sources including from cultivated crops like rice. Using genetically mapped and altered Arabidopsis thaliana and Physcomitrella patens, methyl halide emission rates were calculated. Differences found when compared to wild type plants indicated the potential for developing ‘ozone-safe’ crops through manipulation of the HOL-gene, which may particularly benefit Asian emissions. Three short-term sampling campaigns based in Taiwan assessed abundances of mainly anthropogenically-sourced halocarbons in East Asia. Backwards trajectory modelling was used to estimate potential source regions and both enhanced and close to background mixing ratios were observed for a range of species. Pollution events and interspecies correlations were found for many halocarbons with poorly understood sources such as CFC-113a and HCFC-133a. A further short-term campaign based in Bachok, Malaysia assessed long-range transport of ozone-depleting species to South-East Asia during the cold surge phenomenon of the winter monsoon, when rapid vertical transport may occur. Short-lived species were observed at significantly high abundances suggesting their potential impact on stratospheric ozone may have been previously underestimated.

<p>The concept of regionalism has been the subject of vast research. However, there have been few empirical studies of South East Asia. Although several authors have examined regionalism on a global scale (Russett 1967), the theoretical constructs have been primarily based on regionalism in Western Europe (Haas 1964). Few of these theories have been applied in the context of South East Asia.</p>
<p>The current members of ASEAN were chosen for my research paper. (1) ASEAN includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines, with the later addition of Brunei in 1984. The research paper was an attempt to the following questions:</p>
<p>
â ¢ What degree of regionalism do the ASEAN countries show with regard to each variable defined as measuring regionalism. An analysis of the usefulness and limitations of each variable will be considered in the study.</p>
<p>
â ¢ What is the significance of regionalism in South East Asia, in terms of current theories in the field of Political Science/International Relations. Data was used from a variety of secondary sources including UNDEX United Nations documents, International Trade Directory and the World Handbook of Political and Social Indicators. The variables were then correlated to check the extent of regionalism in the ASEAN countries.</p>
<p>
Factor Analysis and Pearson's correlation statistic were used to determine the relationship between variables used to measure regionalism. From the study, the concept of regionalism was defined and measured by multiple indicators. The results indicated that some of the variables used to operationalize and measure regionalism may be inappropriate in an Asian setting. My study found that regionalism in terms of observable cooperation, in domestic and international policy had increased but has not reached the stage of political and economic integration among the ASEAN members.</p>

Nguyen, Quyen T. K. "British multinationals in South East Asia : strategy, subsidiaries and performance." Thesis, University of Reading, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.567594.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The main objective of this research is to empirically investigate the relationship between strategy and performance of British multinational (MNE) subsidiaries across six South East Asian countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam) over the five-year period 2003-2007. It aims to contribute to the theoretical and empirical literature of the MNE. It clarifies further the current inconclusive debate on the multinationality (M) and performance (P) relationship literature at parent level by new work at subsidiary level. Key to the contradictory empirical findings on the relationship between multinationality (M) and performance (P) is that most previous studies are largely carried out at parent level. Yet, the parent MNE's performance is the consolidated and aggregated results from a disperse network of foreign subsidiaries. Today's reality is that much competition and international business activities occur at subsidiary level. Therefore, this research addresses the MNE strategy and performance at subsidiary level instead of parent level. The focus of this research lies in the determinants of successful subsidiary performance. Drawing on the economic theories of the MNE, this research develops a conceptual framework and then tests a set of hypotheses. The performance is explained by Buckley and Casson's internalization theory, as popularized by Rugman's country specific advantages (CSAs) and firm specific advantages (FSAs) matrix, Dunning's eclectic paradigm with four FDI motives, the resource based view of the firm, the framework of MNEs as flagship firms, the pecking order theory in finance literature, and international accounting standards. It adopts a subsidiary-level and managerial-approach determining 7 successful subsidiary performance in its research design. Specifically, this research conducts three empirical studies as follows: Subsidiary-level firm specific advantages, governance and subsidiary performance Multinational subsidiaries as flagship firms and the fast moving consumer goods sector: Unilever in South East Asia. 3. Host country location, subsidiary-level firm specific advantages, subsidiary sales strategy and subsidiary performance The main contribution of this research is to provide strong empirical evidence that a subsidiary's performance depends on subsidiary-level FSAs, not the extent of multinatitonality per se. The theoretical contribution is the specific operationalization and utilization of subsidiary-level FSAs. Key words: multinationality (M) and performance (P); MNE subsidiary strategy; subsidiary performance; subsidiary-level firm specific advantages (FSAs); host country- specific advantages (CSAs); FDI motives

Charrel, HeÌleÌ€ne. "A molecular analysis of weedy rice from South East Asia." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2002. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.272691.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
To meet demographic demand, global rice production will have to increase by about 2% per year despite losses of land and water supply to industrialisation and urbanisation, and the reduction of availability of farm labour. In Asia, the traditional transplanting of rice is increasingly being replaced by direct seeding that reduces labour costs and saves water. However, yield in direct seeded rice is threatened by weed competition due to the absence of weed suppression through early flooding. Moreover the appearance of "weedy" rice has notably been associated with the use of direct seeding. Weedy rice are plants that appear in and around rice fields and exhibit unwanted wild traits that reduce the quality and the quantity of the harvest. Little is known of the evolutionary origin of weedy rice. The aims of this project were to examine the phylogenetic relationships between weedy rice, cultivars, and wild rice to investigate the origins of weedy rice and to develop molecular diagnostics that would identify weedy rice contamination of seed sources. Using 19 microsatellite markers, individual plants of weedy rice, and cultivars from field samples in Malaysia and the Philippines were genetically characterised together with populations of Oryza niwlra and 0. rlljipogon, rice wild relatives. from different geographical locations in south east Asia, and reference 0. saliva accessions. Genetic differentiation between weedy rice and crop cultivars was evident. Weedy rice populations were more closely related to companion crop cultivars in Malaysia than in the Philippines. In the Philippines, weedy rice appeared to be genetically intermediate between crop cultivars and certain wild rice accessions, suggesting the presence of wild rice genes in their genomes. There are three main hypotheses for weedy rice: the invasion and persistence of preadapted annual wild rice in cultivated fields; the introgression and segregation of genes from annual or perennial wild rice surrounding fields into the sown cultivars; the segregation and expression of weedy traits introgressed during cultivar production. The data presented in this study demonstrated that weedy rice appears to be cultivars with introgressed wild traits. This excludes the first hypothesis. The fact that there is little or no evidence of 0. nivara and 0. rujipogon around the fields in the sampled regions also suggests that the second hypothesis is unlikely unless the source is cryptic. The conclusion of this study therefore has to be that weedy rice plants are "hybrids", carrying cultivar and wild traits. However, the use of 0. nivara in the breeding program of modern varieties to produce lines resistant to diseases may have accidentally introduced genes for unwanted wild traits (e.g. seed shattering, red peri carps, awns) to genomes of cultivars. These traits were subsequently selected against during the development of elite lines, but the release of highly inbred but not completely isogenic lines may allow the segregation and selection of these traits and hence produce weedy rice plants. The distant relationship between the weedy rice and the cultivars in the Philippines, allowed the identification of two genetic regions (one insertion in the microsatellite RM009, and one in the intron 2 of the catalase, CatA, gene) specific to weedy rice. These regions were used to design two PCR based molecular diagnostics that showed nearly 100% correlation between a PCR amplification and the presence of a weedy phenotype. The close genetic relationship between cultivars and the weedy rice samples in Malaysia prevented the identification of such regions.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis examines efforts by the British Foreign Office between 1945 and 1949 to establish an international, yet British-led, regional system in South-East Asia, initially on the economic level but eventually including political and defence cooperation as well. Part 1 looks at vain efforts by the Foreign Office in 1945 to use South East Asia Command (SEAC) under Lord Mountbatten as the basis for an international regional commission. It then examines the Foreign Office's appointment in 1946 of Lord Killearn as Special Commissioner in Singapore, and it highlights British hopes that the Special Commission, which organised international action against the acute shortage of rice in the region, would one day become the nucleus for a wider regional organisation. Part 2 looks at the impact of Asian nationalism on British regional policies. By February 1947, the Foreign Office contemplated the eventual inclusion of India and of other fledgling Asian states in its regional plans. Part 3 shows the subsequent decline of the Special Commission after London's decision on financial grounds to merge the organisation with the office of the Malayan Governor-General. It also examines competition by Australia, India and the UN in trying to take the lead on regional cooperation, and it shows how British policies were negatively affected by the hardline policies of France and the Netherlands in their respective South-East Asian colonies. Part 4 looks at the revival of British regional plans towards the end of 1948 following the Malayan Emergency. The Foreign Office convinced the rest of Whitehall of trying to organise regional cooperation as a means of containing communism in South-East Asia. At the same time, it launched a diplomatic offensive to secure Asian cooperation and American financial backing for its regional plans. The thesis ends in November 1949 with the Cabinet's adoption of regional cooperation as official British policy, paving the way for the Colombo Conference in January 1950 and the subsequent Colombo Plan. One of the recurring themes of the thesis is the conflict between the Foreign Office and the Colonial Office over regional policies; another one is the Foreign Office's shift from colonial cooperation concepts to the idea of cooperating primarily with the new Asian states.

Dowling, Nancy Scott Hehm. "The jar burial in South East Asia : an alternative hypothesis." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 1987. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/28913/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
There is no historical precedent for jar burials in Southeast Asia. The earliest Jar burials first appeared c.700 B.C. as part of a highly complex death cult in Palawan. Therefore, I assume that this burial form represents a cultural intrusion from elsewhere in Asia. Archaeologists contend that a cultural link exists between Southeast Asia and South China, yet my research indicates that there is no virtually no evidence for jar burials in South China. Rather North China exhibits a continuous jar burial tradition reserved almost exclusively for infants and children, and only in rare instances for adults. Furthermore these jar burials represent only a small percentage of total Neolithic burials which suggests that "jar burial deaths" were somehow different from other ones. Though an unusual burial form in North China, jar burials appeared suddenly in great numbers for both adults and children in south Korea-north Kyushu when large scale population movements from North China sought refuge farther east c.300 B.C. Why did the burial tradition change between North China and south Korea-north Kyushu? I contend that the burial traditions of North China required the inhabitants to perform jar burials once they moved away from their ancestral homeland. This explains both the sudden appearance and widespread practice of jar burials in both south Korea- north Kyushu and Palawan. From the Philippines the jar burial tradition spread elsewhere in Southeast Asia. An analysis of three Jar burial sites: Tabon, Sa-huynh and Kalanay indicates that these sites shared a similar funerary tradition while the individual sites exhibit regional specialization of ceramic forms and designs. Though Jar burials represent a short lived tradition in Vietnam, the burial form continued in the Philippines from where it spread north and south among the island cultures which remained outside major cultural changes in mainland Southeast Asia.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Nel 2014, la regione del Sud-est asiatico non ha ancora sviluppato un sistema di protezione dei rifugiati che sia organico ed efficace nonostante ne ospiti più di ogni altra regione nel mondo. Da un punto di vista storico le cause dei flussi di migrazione forzata derivavano dai conflitti sorti dopo la seconda guerra mondiale in seguito allo stravolgente processo di decolonizzazione e creazione di nuovi confini.
Tutt'oggi l'intera regione viene frammentata da scontri etnici e religiosi, soffre enormi disparità tra paesi ricchi e sottosviluppati e tra aree integrate nei mercati internazionali e altre estremamente povere. Come se ciò non bastasse l'area è soggetta a disastri naturali come terremoti, tsunami, siccità ed epidemie.
Nuovi flussi migratori scatenati da povertà, disperazione e persecuzione si scontrano con un sistema legale troppo acerbo per gestirli. Lasciati senza protezione, i rifugiati cadono nelle mani dei trafficanti e degli sfruttatori, vengono incarcerati come criminali o muoiono durante il viaggio verso un futuro che sperano sia migliore.
Il primo capitolo di questo lavoro intende dare un quadro degli strumenti creati dalla comunità internazionale a favore dei rifugiati, mentre nel secondo si affronteranno le principali migrazioni forzate nella regione.
Nella terza parte, il focus sarà sulla Malesia, uno dei principali porti di approdo e transito. Vista la mancanza di un quadro legale che affronti i problemi dei richiedenti asilo, si cercherà di evidenziare le carenze del sistema di accoglienza malese tramite il racconto delle storie, tragicamente vere, dei rifugiati. La discussione si concentrerà su tre fasi dell'odissea di un richiedente asilo: il viaggio, l'arrivo e la sopravvivenza nello stato d'accoglienza che rispecchiano problemi come la tratta di esseri umani, l'incarcerazione, lo sfruttamento e il ruolo delle ONG.
Il quarto e ultimo capitolo proverà a proporre una soluzione legale per la Malesia da un sistema di riconoscimento dello status di rifugiato efficace ed efficiente, a politiche post-riconoscimento e ad un eventuale sistema regionale di protezione.

Partap, Uttara. "Risk factors for cardiometabolic disease among children in South East Asia." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2017. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/268523.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Background and objectives: The current and projected burden of cardiometabolic diseases in Asia is high, with a notable and rapidly increasing prevalence of associated risk factors among children in this region. Comprehensive evidence on cardiometabolic disease risk factors among children in Asia is required to ensure well-informed strategies to address the future burden of disease in this region. This thesis aims to increase the current understanding of cardiometabolic disease risk factors among children in Asia. Methods: Using previously collected data on 6903 children and 17 656 adults participating in the South East Asia Community Observatory health and demographic surveillance system (SEACO HDSS) in Malaysia, the characterisation, prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of key child risk factors were examined. Furthermore, a feasibility study building upon the SEACO framework (N = 203) was designed and implemented to explore the possibility of increasing the range of cardiometabolic measures obtained from children through the collection and analysis of biological samples from individuals in the HDSS. Results: There was a high burden of cardiometabolic disease risk factors among both adults and children in this population. Among children, prevalence estimates for the four key risk factors (overweight, obesity, underweight and stunting) differed considerably depending upon the anthropometric reference used to classify these measures, but were notable regardless of reference. Nutritional and household environmental indices, including child underweight and household sanitation facilities, were strongly associated with stunting risk in this population. Furthermore, children with parents who were obese or centrally obese had an approximately twofold increased risk of being obese. There was no clear evidence of association between measures of socioeconomic position and cardiometabolic disease risk factors among children. Finally, effective procedures were established for the collection, analysis and storage of biological samples from children and their family members in the HDSS, with implications for potential scale-up to facilitate more detailed characterisation of cardiometabolic disease risk. Conclusions: This work indicates a high burden of cardiometabolic disease risk factors among children in this population, identifies modifiable sociodemographic influences on these risk factors, highlights opportunities to more comprehensively characterise child cardiometabolic disease risk in this population, and hence informs future directions for research and strategies to address the growing burden of risk factors among children in this region.

Hiley, Mark Andrew. "Singapore's experience in ASEAN : the nature of trade and inward investment." Thesis, Durham University, 1994. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/5531/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
An attempt is made to examine the importance of the Pacific region to the economy of Singapore, using several standard methodologies in the international economics literature. Singapore's trade with and investment flows from the 'region' have been increasing significantly, while its interaction with Europe has diminished. Hence, in light of these developments, it is useful to explore the links between Singapore and the Pacific region, especially with respect to ASEAN. The trade aspect of the theses has been based on models developed by Balassa, who used them in an attempt to analyse the growth and development of the European Community. Firstly, in analysing the changing comparative advantage in the region, a measure of revealed comparative advantage is adopted, Balassa's export specialisation ratio (1965). Secondly, the changing pattern of trade in manufactured goods is examined in relation to changing country characteristics by the use of an econometric technique - ordinary least squares - (Balassa 1979). Then, using a measure of intra- industry trade (Grubel and Lloyd 1975), the figures are examined for ASEAN along with a study of intra-industry trade by commodity group for Singapore. Balassa's method of estimating trade creation and trade diversion (1963), is used in order to test the effectiveness of economic cooperation in ASEAN. Singapore adopted an open strategy towards Foreign Direct Investment (FDl). The effects on Singapore can be conveniently reviewed under the standard industrial economics format of structure, conduct and performance. Using Dunning's adaption of the 'industrial organisation approach' (1973), it is possible to show, by examining the statistical relationship between a number of structural variables and the sectoral distribution within the manufacturing industry (correlation technique - bivariate normal distribution), that the ownership advantages of multinational corporations have assisted Singapore's economic restructuring towards Higher allocative and technical efficiency; and that multinational corporations have adjusted to the changing locational advantages of Singapore's resource endowments rather more positively than national firms.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis uses an interdisciplinary approach, combining the findings of anthropology with historical and archival research, to evaluate Bugis diaries to provide historical information relating to the kingdom of Boné in the late eighteenth century. The diary of Sultan Ahmad as-Salleh, which covers the period 1775 to 1795, forms the primary material for the study, and is examined alongside other, selected Bugis diaries. The first three chapters form the conceptual framework against which the Bugis diary must be understood. The methodology is set out in Chapter One. The second chapter provides historical, geographical and ethnological information about South Sulawesi; it introduces the Bugis and the regency of Boné, and discusses Bugis written tradition and the knowledge it reflects. Chapter Three is concerned with the Bugis language, its origin and the development of the written script. The specificity of the Bugis diaries as a distinct category of indigenous written works is discussed. Chapters Four, Five and Six apply the methodology to the diary of Sultan Ahmad as-Salleh, cross-referencing its entries to other contemporary primary sources. Throughout, the function of the court diary is considered, and its limitations, most notably concerning the objectivity, are identified and discussed. Chapter Four examines the political life of Boné, the most powerful and important of the Bugis kingdoms of South Sulawesi in the eighteenth century. Centering on particular episodes that occurred during his reign, the reliability of the king's diary is tested. In Chapter Five, information from the diary is used to produce an account of the economy of Boné and to describe a number of traditional economic practices of the inner circle at court. Chapter Six analyses what can be learned from his diary of the diverse social, cultural and religious practices in which the king was involved. Chapter Seven, in conclusion, reflects on the character of Sultan Ahmad as-Salleh, who ruled Boné from 1775 until his death in 1812. No physical memory of him has survived in South Sulawesi. His memorial is his diary and the light that it sheds on Boné's past.

This thesis examines the arrangements and relationship amongst the member-States of ASEAN - the Association of South-east Asian Nations (though with less emphasis on Brunei, which only became the sixth and latest member of the Association upon its independence in January 1984) concerning the modern law of the sea issues that can most affect their national interests and the region directly, and which have developed particularly through the Third UN Law of the Sea Conference (UNCLOS III). Such issues are, first, the question of passage through the Straits of Malacca and Singapore, which has borne considerable law of the sea significance even long before the sixteenth century. Hence, such historical background is also explored. Secondly, since the Association consists of the two largest archipelagic States - Indonesia and the Philippines, considerations are given to the emergent archipelagic State concept, as recently developed, which is proved to have profound implications to the ASEAN members. So is the new concept of exclusive economic zone - an extended jurisdictional zone for marine living and non-living resources. The application of both of the latter concepts in the region will consequently render clear beneficiary and disadvantaged States among the members of ASEAN. Search for use of resources in the sea has also led ASEAN States to series of continental shelf boundary delimitation and one joint development arrangement agreements. These are analysed in comparison with a close examination of recent State practice and international adjudication. The thesis aims ultimately to demonstrate what roles the so-called 'ASEAN spirit' have played in influencing the practice of ASEAN States, their conflict management, their co-operation and their general outlook regarding such major law of the sea issues of the region.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Given increasing problems in the availability, affordability and deliverability of commercial primary and secondary energy resources, coupled with growing macroeconomic uncertainties, the use of renewable, non-commercial energy resources has been actively promoted in rural areas of developing countries. This, in addition to the fact that conventional, 'state-of-the-art' energy facilities present technical problems, are inequitable and pose potential environmental hazards, has led to proposals for instituting alternative, intermediate or 'appropriate' technologies in rural settlements. This thesis identifies technical, economic, social, cultural and institutional barriers to the introduction of intermediate or 'appropriate' technologies in rural areas. The cases of solar and biogas technologies in Korea, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea the Philippines and Thailand are considered.
Policy and planning process recommendations are made on the roles of government, voluntary aid-agencies and the rural user, to overcome the obstacles to implementing these technologies. These recommendations cover the micro (village) and macro (regional and national) levels over two time horizons, and stress the need for a comprehensive approach to discerning rural needs, followed by integrated technology diffusion through effective program and project implementation. In addition, this thesis identifies the need for a continuous collection of information on rural socio-economic conditions and potential for rural interfuel substitution and finally, recommends research into improving technical efficiencies of alternative energy technologies such as solar and biogas.
Alternative or intermediate energy technologies such as solar and biogas can play an important role in augmenting rural energy supply. Unless steps are taken to remove the identified barriers to implementation in future technology diffusion efforts, this potential will not be realized. Policy and planning process recommendations made in this thesis present means through which these barriers could be removed.<br>Applied Science, Faculty of<br>Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of<br>Graduate

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The contamination of groundwater by naturally occurring arsenic (As) in South and South East Asia has resulted in the exposure of an estimated 100 million people to hazardously high concentrations of this known carcinogen. Whilst the biogeochemical processes and mechanisms responsible for releasing As to groundwater are now understood, the fundamental controls on these processes have yet to be resolved. In particular, the role of different sources of organic matter (OM) in controlling the rate and extent of As release and how the contributions of these different sources may be influenced by groundwater abstraction practices, remains poorly constrained. Indeed, it is the absence of such key information which currently limits our capability to accurately predict both where and when As will be released in to the groundwaters of this region. Elucidation of the controls of these processes is therefore of vital importance for aiding policy makers and those responsible for mitigating the effects of the current catastrophe in providing a sustainable source of As free drinking water to millions of people in the countries impacted.We conducted investigations at two known As hotspots in West Bengal and Cambodia to assess the impact of groundwater abstraction practices on the composition of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and As release. The radiocarbon age of DOC at both sites requires a contribution of young surface or near surface derived OM as well as contributions from older, sedimentary sourced OM. Mixing profiles at the Cambodian study site suggest this subsurface OM end member to have an age of between 1000 and 6000 years. A clear association is observed between high As concentrations in shallow groundwaters containing young DOC, with lower concentrations of As being associated with older DOC in deeper groundwater. This provides the first direct confirmation that younger, more labile sources of OM are able to support more extensive As release in these aquifers. Perhaps more importantly, it is shown that modern surface derived OM can be drawn into As contaminated groundwaters. Comparison of the residence times of groundwaters suggests that the extent of ground-surface water interaction is more extensive and extends to greater depths in aquifers that have been subjected to massive groundwater abstraction. Indeed, it is suggested thatgroundwater abstraction practices may be responsible for driving the downward transport of As contaminated shallow groundwater into deeper groundwater, and may potentially be driving changes in the composition of organic carbon within the groundwater. This could give rise to a more reactive, bioavailable organic carbon pool which has the potential to further influence As mobility in these groundwaters. The potential for secular changes in the groundwater As hazard in these regions must therefore consider the impact that changes in the DOC composition may have on the biogeochemical evolution of these aquifers.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis presents the isolation and structure elucidation of a range of secondary metabolites from four selected medicinal plants from Southeast Asia; Thailand and Bangladesh, namely, Cassia tora, Piper betel, Brugueira gymnorrhiza and Avicennia alba. A Variety of natural products belonging to several classes were isolated and investigated for their biological activity. The evaluation of Piper betel extracts for antimicrobial activity and some second metabolites isolated from Piper betel for Antimethicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus activity (MRSA) were targeted in this thesis. A total of eightteen compounds were isolated from the selected plants, including mixtures of two steroids and two sesquiterpenes and two of the compounds were active against MRSA. Phytochemical investigation of Cassia tora leaves resulted in two anthraquinones (physcion and chrysophanol) and a mixture of steroids (β-sitosterol and stigmasterol). Physcion and chrysophanol are reported from the leaves of Cassia tora for the first time. Phytochemical investigation of Piper betel leaves led to the isolation of two phenolic compounds (eugenol and 4-allyl pyrocatechol), a mixture of sesquiterpenes (β- elemene and trans-calamenene), γ-muurolene and an unidentified cycloartane derivative. Eugenol and 4-allyl pyrocatechol were active against MRSA, β-elemene, trans-calamenene, γ-muurolene and the unidentified cycloartane derivative are being reported for the first time from the leaves of Piper betel. Phytochemical investigation of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza leaves led to six triterpenoids (careaborin and taraxerol, β-Z-p-coumaroyl taraxerol, taraxerone, β-lauryl-β-amyrin and, 3,4-seco-taraxerol) and one quinone (stenocarpoquinone B). These compounds are being isolated for the first time from the leaves of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and the Rhizophoraceae family. Phytochemical investigation of Avicennia alba stems led to a triterpenoid (betulinic acid) and a steroid (β-sitosterol). Antibacterial activity of isolated compounds was investigated against Antimethicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus activity (MRSA). Eugenol and 4- allyl pyrocatechol were active and gave MIC valves, 64 and 128 μg/mL.

No<br>European countries are dealing with an increasing number of refugees seeking asylum. Country evidence is critical in the assessment of any asylum claim. The purpose of this study is to review some of the common issues which frequently are the focus of asylum appeal cases in relation to applicants from South Asia and the Middle East. The focus is on Pakistan, Iraq and Iran and it covers a range of issues that give rise to asylum claims, such as the general security situation, the risk from terrorism and other forms of political violence, the risk to political opponents of governments, the risks in blood feuds and from the perceived violation of family honour, religious persecution and the risks faced by ethnic minorities. It is a very useful resource to volunteers and professionals involved in supporting asylum seekers.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis explores the impact of democratic institutions amongst the Asian developing countries. There has been debate about the successful economic rise of these seven countries; however, questions remain over the differing levels of economic performance. Institutional literature has paid scant attention to the role of democracy, and how this has influenced economic development throughout Asia. This thesis explores the relationships between four democratic institutions - cabinets, party-systems, electoral systems and bicameralism - and economic performance across six developing democracies, in addition to Japan. Using current democratic institutional literature derived from OECD countries, this thesis expands the scope to include new countries. The analysis employs both statistical methods and case studies to assess the relationships between four democratic institutions and seven socio-economic indicators between 1986 and 2005. The linear regressions provided evidence that coalition cabinets are correlated with lower levels of inflation and unemployment, but large multi-party legislatures are not. This thesis also found correlations between strong second legislative chambers and higher FDI, lower tariffs and higher income inequality. Although this is an exploratory thesis, I suggest that democratic institutional analysis within Asia does warrant further examination; an assessment of the specific institutions may provide us with clearer notions regarding economic development.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Due to the spread of antimicrobial drug resistance, typhoid fever has become increasingly difficult to treat. In Vietnam, more than 50% of S. Typhi isolates are multidrug resistant and 90% are quinolone resistant. This thesis examines three aspects of typhoid fever; treatment, genotyping of bacteria and the clinical development of an oral vaccine. We enrolled 358 children and adults with suspected typhoid fever into a randomised controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of gatifloxacin (10 mg/kglday) versus azithromycin (20 mg/kglday) for 7 days. In the blood culture confinned group, 145 patients received gatifloxacin and 142 patients received azithromycin. Overall treatment failure occurred in 13/145 (9%) patients in the gatitloxacin group and 13/140 (9.3%) patients in the azithromycin group (HR = 0.93; 95% CI 0.43 - 2.0; p = 0.854). We found a statistically significant relationship between drug exposure to gatifloxacin and clinical response. In patients with AUCo-24: MIC ratios of greater than 92.7, 93.5% of patients had a favourable response; whilst in patients with AUC 0-24: MIC ratios equal or less than 92.7, only 75% had a favorable response (OR = 4.81; 95% CI 1.23-18.9; P = 0.02). We investigated the genetic variability and relationship between the S. Typhi trial isolates by using a novel SNP genotyping array. The majority of isolates (98%) belonged to the H58 haplotype, a quinolone resistant haplotype that has expanded globally. Within this group three main subgroups could be distinguished. We conducted a randomised placebo controlled trial to detennine the safety and immunogenicity of a novel oral typhoid vaccine (MO IZH09) with two independently-attenuating deletions (Ty2 aroC- ssa V -) in healthy 5 to 14 year old children in Vietnam. One hundred and fifty-one children were enrolled and followed up for 28 days. Twenty-six percent of MOIZH09 subjects and 22% of placebo subjects experienced an adverse event. There were no serious adverse events and no bacteraemia. Ninety-seven percent of the subjects showed a positive immune response. MOIZH09 was immunogenic and had an appropriate safety and reactogenicity profile in children in an area with endemic typhoid fever.

One of the constant features of the United States foreign policy is the maintenance of an
international environment in which the United States can survive and prosper. This is based on an
economic-strategic nexus. This has been emphasised since the time of the Truman administration
after the second World War. For instance Truman stated during the height of the Korean War and
other communist rebellions in the Southeast Asian region that the loss of any one of those
countries would mean the loss of freedom for millions of people, the loss of vital raw
materials,and the loss of points of critical strategic importance to the free world. This
perception was crystallised into the containment policy to halt the spread of communism. This
policy was also emphasised in the Southeast Asian region. However with the achievement of detente
with China and the Soviet Union in 1972, the containment policy transformed to maintenance of a
balance of power policy in the region.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In 2016 it was revealed that the Brexit referendum and US presidential election were both targeted by sophisticated online disinformation campaigns, and in the years since states around the world have scrambled to respond to this new threat. Many have chosen to criminalise the creation and dissemination of fake news a crime despite warnings from international organisations and experts that these ‘fake news laws’ will restrict speech and stifle dissent. Southeast Asian states in particular have broadly chosen to take this controversial approach. This thesis seeks to answer why this is.
I take an analytic narrative approach to this question, using a combination of Tsebelis’ veto player theorem and elements of historical institutionalism to interrogate two case studies: the Philippines and Singapore. Comparison of the cases reveals that institutional configuration and the extent to which avenues for dissent exist in each political environment are critical to the success of proposed anti-disinformation legislation. The study also underscores the potential impacts of such legislation, where restrictions on free speech increase the likelihood of similarly restrictive legislation passing in the future, creating a dynamic of increasing returns.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The purpose of this study is to describe the history, development, problems, and issues related to achieving university status of South-East Asia College from 1974 to 1993. This historical research used records and documents from South-East Asia College and the Association of Private Higher Education Institutions of Thailand as primary sources. Also interviews with the president, faculty and staff of South-East Asia College were used. Secondary Sources were reports and publications from the Ministry of University Affairs in Thailand. The areas of emphasis in the study were government policies on private higher education, legislation that initiated the founding of the college, the founder, the college's goals, financial sources, curriculum, library, faculty, students, and buildings. It was found that the Thai government encourages the establishment of private higher education institutions. The Private Higher Educational Institution Act of 1979 was enacted to allow private universities to be equal to government universities. South-East Asia College was founded in 1974 by the Khunya Plak Muanpiew Foundation with the purpose of training Thai students for industrial technologies and business sectors. The college requested university status in April, 1987. The first attempt was turned down. Four areas not meeting the requirements were the library, faculty, students, and buildings. The college made a second request in December, 1991, and the change in status of South-East Asia College to South-East Asia University was approved in March, 1992. Suggestion for further study include: (a) the study is limited to one private university; a further investigation should be made of the other private institutions; and (b) a study should be conducted to identify factors which will contribute to the future development of South-East Asia University.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
I test the conditional international CAPM using 1990–2003 data for nine South-East Asian markets. Previous research has concluded that conditional ICAPM fails to explain expected returns in emerging markets. I argue that this is due to variations in the degree of integration among industry or size components of local equity portfolios. To test this hypothesis, I construct country, industry and market capitalisation portfolios and test the conditional ICAPM separately for each portfolio. The ICAPM is rejected more often for industries which produce mainly locally-traded outputs and for smaller market capitalisation portfolios.
