Pełny tekst źródłaThe Cape Town Talent Exchange (CTTE) is a Community Exchange System operating locally in Cape Town, while allowing national and global exchanges to take place. Trading activity occurs between members of the community through an alternative currency, Talents. There are numerous incentives driving the participation of the community members. These include various political, social, economic, environmental and philosophical motivations. It is evident, however, that the members’ desires meet through the search for an alternative space where social interactions are experienced and social values are formed through economic activity. The construction of the CTTE as an alternative economy, that re¬‐introduces this social dimension into the economic sphere contributes to the movement away from the hegemonic, capitalist economy to one of heterogeneity. There are, however, tensions that lie in the overlapping nature of these systems, restricting the alterity and autonomy of the CTTE and emphasising the power and dominance of the mainstream economy.

This dissertation engages with two analytical frameworks to explore questions of social transformation and structures of power in rural society in India. The first is a specific critique of various types of development discourse and development projects that have been elaborated by national and international elites during the last forty years, focusing on the dry land Malwa region in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. This includes a project to introduce soyabean cultivation to the region in the 1970s, which has been post-facto labeled as a yellow revolution, and a discourse which argues that providing market information through new information and communication technologies is empowering farmers. I argue that these projects and discourse have mostly steered away from engaging with the structures of power framing rural society, and thus, have failed to bring about much change in the condition of rural people in central India. The second analytical framework is a recovery and foregrounding of alternate arenas of struggle that rural people in the Malwa region have been participating in. The platform of democratic politics is one such avenue that marginalized groups have used to make demands upon the state to provide them with support and allows them to hold the state accountable for the same. Participating in cultural projects that question and subvert the forms of caste and gender based exclusion that frame the lives of people is another such arena which provides women and adivasis (tribals) with a language of empowerment. This research argues that for the language and practice of development to have more relevance to the lives of the poor and for it to engage with the deeper aspirations in their lives, the role of these political and cultural projects as vital platforms for rural people to exercise agency and bring about change, must be recognized.

Pełny tekst źródłaSouth Africa has seen a spike in medical malpractice litigation, including the number and size of claims instituted against healthcare practitioners. This has led to a backlog in medical malpractice court cases throughout South Africa and a strain on both the public and private healthcare sectors, affecting an already burdened healthcare system. The surge in medical malpractice litigation is not a new phenomenon in developed countries. Most have curbed this through alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This has been facilitated by effectively introducing efficient legal frameworks that promote ADR. Unfortunately, this is not the case in a developing country such as South Africa. To date, much research and literature has attributed blame for the large-scale increase in medical malpractice litigation to legal practitioners. This has been aided by comments made by the former Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi (Dr Motsoaledi). In as much as this may be the common perception, there appears, to the contrary, to be systematic problems in the South African healthcare system. The legal profession is only a minor contributing factor to the increase in medical malpractice litigation. The strained financial resources and shortage of healthcare staff in public hospitals contributes to the increased risk of medical malpractice cases. Furthermore, when considering the South African legal system, contingency fee arrangements have, in certain circumstances, increased vexatious litigation and, as such, it is on this basis that medical malpractice litigation has been on the increase in South African courts. This study seeks to analyse the current state of the South African healthcare system, and in light of the increasing number of medical practice claims and litigation, propose ADR mechanisms that offer efficient, cost effective, and expeditious channels to resolving these issues and to ensure that parties recognise the full benefits of ADR. This study proposes legal reform in medical malpractice litigation in South Africa. This thesis compares the experiences, legislative and policy frameworks in Australia and the United States of America (USA), in order to learn lessons that could assist South Africa in framing legislation and best practices for ADR. It contends that, in order to effectively develop and implement ADR to address medical malpractice litigation, it requires the involvement of the government, legislature, judiciary, legal profession and the public. It has identified court- iv annexed mediation as the appropriate ADR mechanism in addressing medical malpractice litigation.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe socio-economic and environmental crises seem to show the failure of the traditional economic policies now, since the sixties, the alternative economics maintains the idea that the economy is a political matter and that it is the matter of everybody. This conception leads to go beyond the traditional opposition between the welfare state and the law of the market. This take-over of the economy back to the people takes the forms of economic practices of solidarity and economic democracy. It finds its roots in the utopian socialisms of the last century. Simultaneously, it induces to question the main economic theories and it proposes an alternative approach of the economy. It considers the person rather than the homo oeconomicus, the political society rather than the merchant space, a generous environment rather than an illimited one, advanced intelligibility schemes rather than mechanism. This approach is grounded on small is beautiful, the gandhian economics, the maussian gift, the humanistic economics, the bio-economics, the feminism. . . This way, the economic thought opens itself to the other sciences et to the human questions. This approach allows a different analysis of the problems of the moment : unemployment is seen as a mutation of the economic development, the under-development as the diversion of the flows by the developped countries, environmental crisis as the conflict between two logics. The economic logic itself is in question. It defines new tools, like alternative indicators. These count social and environmental indicators and are build in order to be used by the concerned people. It promotes a new definition of work, the share of the working time, a basic income and the multi-activity; a reinstatement of the biosphere, with the ecological firms and the normative management; and the institution of a third sector that gives the control over the economy back to the community

This study quantifies and compares the costs of production for six alternative jet fuel pathways using consistent financial and technical assumptions. Uncertainty was propagated through the analysis using Monte Carlo simulations. The six processes assessed were hydroprocessed ester and fatty acids (HEFA) using soybean oil, yellow grease, and tallow; advanced fermentation (AF) using corn grain, sugarcane, and herbaceous biomass; conventional gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) using municipal solid waste; aqueous phase processing (APP) using woody biomass; hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) using woody biomass; and fast pyrolysis and hydroprocessing (FPH) using corn stover. The results indicate that none of the six processes would be profitable in the absence of government incentives, with HEFA using yellow grease, HEFA using tallow, and FT revealing the lowest mean jet fuel prices at $0.91/liter ($0.66/liter to $1.24/liter), $1.06/liter ($0.79/liter to $1.42/liter), and $1.15/liter ($0.95/liter to $1.39/liter), respectively. The highest mean NPV was the NPV calculated for HEFA yellow grease with a mean value (in $B) of -0.112 (95% range of -0.412 to 0.179), followed by HEFA tallow with -0.202 (-0.517 to 0.100) and FT with -0.210 (-0.424 to 0.033). This study also quantifies plant performance in the United States with a policy analysis. The alternative fuel production models were used to examine the economic viability of each pathway under a variety of existing and potential regulatory scenarios. Results indicate that some pathways could achieve positive NPV with relatively high likelihood under existing policy supports, with HEFA and FPH revealing the highest probability of positive NPV at 94.9% and 99.7%, respectively, in the best-case scenario.

For decades, petroleum-based fuels have dominated as the primary energy source for the light duty vehicle (LDV) fleet in the United States and around most of the world. However, recent developments in alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) technology have led to viable alternatives to the traditional internal combustion engine. In particular, vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions including plug-in electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) powered by hydrogen fuel have the potential to greatly reduce transportation emissions. However, adoption of these vehicles has grown slowly for a number of reasons. One of the largest barriers to adoption is a chicken-or-egg problem; the interdependence between the adoption of AFVs and the expansion of a new network of refueling infrastructure to support them. This thesis examines the current status of refueling networks and AFV adoption around the world with a specific focus on the U.S. I specify the characteristics of the various impediments to AFV expansion including high purchase price, range anxiety, and consumer familiarity. I then present a series of sensitivity analyses examining the projected vehicle-infrastructure co-evolution using a system dynamics model parameterized for the United States private LDV fleet. For battery electric vehicles, the results indicate that steady growth in market share is possible, given continued investment and political support. Adoption of FCEVs, on the other hand, is likely to grow much more slowly and these vehicles may not enter the U.S. market at all unless supported by significant private investment or political intervention. However, significantly higher levels of adoption in concentrated areas may be possible in the simulated timeframe out to the year 2050.

The importance of public acceptance within the decision-making process for large-scale, municipal water projects is widely understood and documented. In order to assess the role of public perception on the acceptance of alternative water sources, this paper broadly evaluates public preference for alternative water source and water conservation programs through a user-based approach. Choice-based conjoint analysis was utilized as a quantitative method to determine which design attributes make alternative water sources, specifically desalination and recycled water facilities, more appealing to communities. An online survey was taken by 306 respondents in California, Florida, and Texas. Respondents were analyzed on an aggregate level to identify overall perception of, familiarity with, and preference for desalinated and recycled water. The results indicate significant importance placed on specific attributes such as cost and environmental impact, as opposed to the water program type and location of the proposed facility. Findings based on subpopulations of respondents suggest that preference between water program types were fairly consistent among different demographics, but varied on characteristics such as increased familiarity and perceived reliability of currently provided tap water.

Currently, renewable technologies are often evaluated using the Levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), which is a measure of building and operating a generating plant over an assumed αnancial life and duty cycle. Naturally, instead of only measuring the cost, a more holistic approach would be to also assess the economical value of the renewable generating technology. One approach to this would be to measure the Levelized Avoided Cost of Electricity (LACE), which considers what it will cost the grid to generate electricity using renewable technology, amortized over its lifetime. However, estimating avoided cost can be challenging since it requires knowledge of how the renewable technology would perform in electricity generation, especially when taking into account a projected future period. Naturally this would have repercussions in policies adopting greater renewable technologies, further emphasising the importance of an adequate measure of evaluating renewable technology.
In this thesis, we explore several methods of evaluating alternative sources of energy, with an in-depth focus on a LACE evaluation of solar PV as an alternative source of electricity generation within CAISO market. Through experimentation of different variants of a recurrent neural network, an LSTM model was trained to predict 2016 electricity prices of all nodes within CAISO. The model achieved a Mean Absolute Scaled Error (MASE) of 0.761, outperforming a naive baseline using the Day-Ahead prices. Using the predicted prices, the LACE for solar PV was estimated and compared against the LACE computed with perfect knowledge of prices. Even though they had similar mean values, there was a significant difference in the variance. The effects of improvements in price prediction on the LACE was further explored. We found that the smaller the difference in the estimated LACE to the respective LCOE value, the greater the impact of improving price prediction performance; and was able to place an implicit value of an improvement of price prediction performance. Especially for policy and decision makers, this improvement in electricity price forecasting would directly translate to greater confidence when making the decision to switch a solar PV alternative.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis sociological study offers a comprehensive study of the Université des Montagnes, a civil society initiative in response to the crisis in higher education in Cameroon in the 1990’s. A field study undertaken within the institution, using a participatory approach, enabled us to collect quantitative and qualitative data which was used to produce a grounded theory (Glaser and A. Strauss) approach that highlights the specific features of this alternative institution which is unique in Cameroon. The first break shown by our analysis is that the Université des Montagnes was entirely conceived, imagined, and established by a group of citizens determined to relieve the State of its monopoly on the development of higher education in Cameroon. To accomplish this, the founders, through a method that was reflective and critical in relation to the existing model, developed an innovative philosophy of education and pedagogy that reconciles the applied and professional sciences, and pedagogy founded on African culture. In short, our study shows the emergence of a general, professional, and people’s university. The project seeks to furnish a systematic and adaptive synthesis of reference university models that have structured higher education across the world. Notwithstanding the difficulties involved in collective adoption of the project, after fifteen years of existence, this people’s experiment appears to have been an analyser and catalyst for social innovation, considering its impact in the area of higher education in Cameroon

Pełny tekst źródłaThe german dual system of vocational training appears as an original solution promo, ting the integration of the young into the working market. It combines an apprenticeship in a firm and part time studies at a professional school. The thesis proposes to analyse this particular part of the educational system from a diachronic and synchronic perspec, tive. The political, social and economical environment of vocational training is another central issue of this research. The three parts of the study include an historical retrospec, tive, an analysis of the institutional structures of vocational education and the analysis of political and educational debates since the end of the sixties. . The specific traits of the dual system result from the particular tradition of german history: economic development started much later than in neighboring countries, there was no strong central power before the establishment of the hohenzollem empire, the german territory is split up in small territories, corporatist ideology still survives in con, servative political and economic circles. Most professions are still determined by the mo, del of craft industry, which is gradually adapted to other sectors of industry and services. The protectionist current of german politics promoted craft ideology and outlived the free trade trend of the 19th century. A the turn of the century part time vocational trai, ning leading to the current dual system in professionel schools became compulsory. Insti, tutionalized by the federal law on professional training in 1969 the system has proved its efficiency. Thanks to its adaptability the dual system has overcome the opposition of the political left during the seventies. Nowadays there is a large consensus of all german political and social groups on professional training. But at the same time, the dual system has to meet the attacks ofneoliberalism and global competition. This particular situation could put to an end the orignal experience of german vocational education

Pełny tekst źródłaThe industrial model of food production, consumption and distribution has been criticised since the seventies in reference to its environmental, social and economical impacts. These critics led to the emergence of a diversity of socio-economic initiatives, engaged in the promotion of a model of agriculture that is more respectful of the planet and its inhabitants, based on new organizational forms and oriented towards fair economic exchange. These alternative food systems refer to a diversity of production methods, including responsible and organic farming, agroecology, permaculture. Alternative food systems generally rely on organisations engaged in a social or solidarity economy : Community supported agriculture, short food supply channels, cooperatives, local fair trade. They reconsider the purpose and terms of economic activity and are driven by a desire to engage in an alternative economy. The question of fairness in exchange, embodied by the will to define a fair price, is of central matter for these initiatives.In this context, this thesis aims at analysing the construction of a fair price within an alternative food system. This system is engaged in a dynamic of local fair trade, and is based on an innovative organizational form. An empirical study has been conducted during three years within the cooperative Alter-Conso. This social cooperative proposes a weekly distribution of local and organic food products, in 14 delivery points in and around the city of Lyon. It puts forward the values and principle of a social and solidarity economy, and brings together into cooperation four categories of members : employees, producers, consumers, supporters. In this sense, economic activity aims primarily at achieving a social and political goal, oriented towards a transformation of agricultural practices and questioning the dominant management practices of economic life. The thesis aims at analysing how the members of the cooperative construct a fair price, considering its social project and its organizational form.The thesis shows that the construction of a fair price articulates three forms of justice : distributive , commutative, and procedural. It shows how the cooperative defines a price definition process that is an alternative to the market price. Indeed, the price construction takes into account the values and social goals of the cooperative, both in the criteria that define a fair price and in the price fixation process. The price construction is based on a discussion among the cooperative’s stakeholders, regardless of the variations of supply and demand. It is constructed on the basis of a lasting, comprehensive and tripartite relationship between the producers, the consumers, and the cooperative employees. The relationship is based on reciprocity and on the recognition of the needs of all the people affected by the exchange

Pełny tekst źródłaThis research aims to investigate the differences between alternative and traditional schools in Sao Paulo and to discuss the consequences of adopting different methods as an \"alternative\" in a society whose democracy is not fully true. Considering hypotheses that alternative schools propose pedagogical methods that are supposed to form democratic subjects and facilitate the learning, in attempt to oppose to the traditional schools. However, it is understood that, in the industrial society, considering the current ideology, alternative and traditional schools, as products and producers of society, tend to be similar; and that, by presenting themselves as a democratic \"alternative,\" some schools hide the contradictions of a society that is unequal at its base. The works of some authors of the critical theory of the society have contributed to the understanding of industrial societys influence, the importance of authority figures, and the concepts of ideology, cultural industry, formation and pseudo-formation. Five criteria were set forth to define \'alternative school\', according to the literature: prioritized content; pedagogical method; several forms of evaluation; the interaction between school subjects and the student participations rate. Four schools were selected for the research: two public schools (one alternative and one traditional) and two private schools (one alternative and one traditional). In order to select the schools, a scale was elaborated with 20 alternatives based on the mentioned criteria; and it was also used as a guide for classroom observations, which from four to eight classes were observed in each school. There was also an interview with the pedagogical coordinator of each school, following a semi-structured questionnaire. The proposals of alternative schools that focus on the students and the traditional ones on the teachers were highlighted, which influences in the characteristics formerly mentioned, in addition to the relation with teacher as a figure authority figure. The considered alternative schools sometimes adhere to social pressures, such as: preparation for college entrance examination, the forms of evaluation, targeting the labor market; as well as the mentioned traditional schools adhere to alternatives proposals such as: group practices, students as assets in education, among others. It is considered that there is no purely traditional school, nor is there a purely alternative school, corroborating to the hypothesis that, in this society, there is a tendency for homogenization. There was a significant difference between public and private schools, because, in the public school, the workers were concerned about the violence in which their students are involved, and, in the private schools, the workers were questioning central issues to form teachers and students, leading to the conclusion that the greatest distinction between schools is not their pedagogical method, but their social status. Considering a supposed alternative also reinforces the idea that it is solely up to the individual or the institution to make a choice for the societys transition, which also exposes the market ideology: there is a product to be chosen and a market to be served. Schools, whether traditional or alternative, can be spaces in which contradictions without criticism perpetuate, but they can also be a space of resistance in which it is possible to criticize society and rethink it

Pełny tekst źródłaThe compelling links between modes of transport and literature have been widely examined from the perspective of the walker, the train traveller and the car driver. This thesis engages with the long overlooked bicycle as an object that actively shapes our interaction with text and provides a unique interface for viewing the world. I assess literary treatments of utilitarian and recreational cycling in a range of English and French fiction, as well as some travel writing and non-fiction, from the turn of the twentieth century. I show how the bicycle became a favoured literary device, allowing writers to do much more than simply make a story appear up-to-date or move a character from place to place; authors used cycle journeys as a means to structure or punctuate their narratives or depict a novel sensory and aesthetic experience. The late-Victorian era saw the emergence of the modern bicycle along with a host of other transport and communication technologies that transformed everyday life. Literature from the early period of the bicycle's adoption shows how this technology contributed in some measure to the emergence of an accelerated, subjective, commodified modernity that the critic John Urry argues defined the twentieth century. Yet this thesis reveals that from the earliest days of its use, the bicycle played a crucial counter-cultural role, proposing an alternative modernity that directly challenged bourgeois, patriarchal, capitalist society. From blurring gender and class divisions, to offering a more empowering interaction with the machine, to allowing an embodied and social experience of space, the bicycle suggested a human-powered route to progress.Mots clefs en français: Littérature anglophone, littératures comparées cultural studies, vélo, technologie, transports, modernité.Mots clefs en anglais: English literature, comparative literature, cultural studies, bicycles, technology, transport, modernity

Pełny tekst źródłaThis research focuses on The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a British science-fiction comedy series created for BBC Radio 4 in 1978. Over the study period (1978-2009), the series was provided to the public in all possible formats that mass culture can offer. In its first years the series attracted a strong audience among teenagers, students and young adults. Douglas Adams, the series’ author, maintained control over all the incarnations of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Over the course of his life, the author of this science fiction series, made to make people laugh, gradually became known as a ‘‘technology guru” by the press. Indeed, Douglas Adams had four great passions : computers, evolution of species, the Beatles and the Pythons. Therefore, this research endeavours to understand how these four topics were expressed in Douglas Adams’ life, the influence they had on Hitchhiker’s and how this series’ success shows the evolution of British society. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy occurs at a time when expectations towards comedy were changing, as shown by the rise of Alternative Comedy. Hitchhiker’s breakthrough also takes place at a time when technology was gaining importance in daily life and geek culture was developing, at the crossroads of imaginary worlds and computer science. The series’ impact can also be considered as evidence of what the sociologist Mike Savage called the technical middle class. In addition, by creating a rock album for the radio, Douglas Adams created a fantasy consistent with the musical universe of the 1970s youth. The technology used in the radio studio stimulates creativity, just like the personal computer will do in the 1980s

Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis analyses how the production of space helps to create and sustain alternative organizations. In this study, space is seen as a source of power. In order to answer this question we conduct a single case study: the intermediary places in the French theatre sector. Two organizational models prevail in this sector: the lucrative private sector and the public non-profit one. Intermediary places tend to establish a third model neither private nor public: third sector organizations. We combine semi-structured interviews, observations and secondary data. We show alternative organizations produce different type of individual and collective spaces on multiple scales. Thanks to this combination, intermediary places become mobile and more resistant to dominant space reactions. They are most likely to sustain themselves

Pełny tekst źródłaThis work is the result of empirical research conducted on a French network for an alternativeeconomy named REAS and its defenders. The aim is to study the origins of its program usingthe history and backgrounds of its campaigners as a starting point. From 1990 to 1998, theREAS has tried to bring together various initiatives of solidarity-based economic systems inorder to push its political program to the forefront of the public debate.We have wondered whether this program and the militancy which characterizes it were butthe translation of a propensity for activism truly Christian in origin or whether it ratherstemmed from the coming together of various traditions of militancy.A reconstruction of the individual backgrounds of activists from the REAS was possiblethanks to field research, based on a close study of the archives and the periodical which thenetwork published but most importantly on about sixty interviews held with members of theREAS. The research has proven that each age group (under 35, aged 35 to 45 and over 45years old) was characterized by its own specific dynamics and form of militancy.The older members bring with them a leftwing Christian dimension which the intermediateage group politicizes while the younger members contribute to daily awareness and localintegration. The political program of REAS and its members’ militancy can therefore bedefined as an elective affinity bringing together three originally distinct groups. Therefore, ifthe influence and dynamics of each group may be felt, the program for REAS can only bedefined through their combination. Nevertheless, elective affinity theoretically only happensbetween two elements. The possibility of elective affinity happening between three elementsseems unprecedented and would deserve closer inspection

Pełny tekst źródłaThe Hull Street Integrated Housing Project, in Kimberley, is one of the projects supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida, in South Africa. The vision of the
project is to provide low cost housing for the people of Kimberley. As a way of ensuring sustainability, the project adopts the Ecological sanitation (Ecosan) approach where urine and
faeces are separated from the source.
The concept of Ecosan is new to many people around the world. To make the concept workable and acceptable effective implementation strategies are required.
At the Hull Street, after the first of the four phases 144 unit houses have been completed all fitted
with the UDS. Urine from the UDS as well as the greywater from the kitchen and bathroom are connected to infiltrate into the ground. This arrangement is called the “quick-fix”. The faeces from
the houses are sent to the compost yard for composting so that the residents could use the compost in their gardens.
This study which involves interview with some selected workers and residents in Hull Street
focuses on the modus operandi of the Ecosan unit of the Hull Street project with special emphasis on the methods of human excreta disposal and education strategies.
