Streszczenie:

Pollen and charcoal percentage and concentration analyses have been conducted upon several upland peat profiles of late Flandrian II and early Flandrian III age at North Gill, North York Moors, where earlier research had proven recurrent major pre Elm Decline woodland disturbance, supported in one profile by radiocarbon dating. Fine temporal resolution pollen analysis (FRPA) involving the use of contiguous millimetre sampling was applied to Flandrian II disturbance phases at five of the North Gill profiles. At North Gill 1A a further phase of disturbance near the end of Flandrian II was examined using FRPA to study evidence of pre Elm Decline agricultural activity, and at this profile both the horizontal and vertical resolution limits of the technique were tested by progressively finer sub-sampling. The millimetre level FRPA analyses showed that each of the examined pre Elm Decline disturbance phases was an aggregate feature, composed of a number of smaller sub-phases, the ecological effects of which in terms of spatially-precise woodland successions and community structures were assessed and contrasted. Inter-profile spatial comparison of the ecology of woodland disturbances has been made at both FRPA and conventional scales of temporal resolution. FRPA study of the late Flandrian II disturbance phase at North Gill 1A showed that cereal cultivation had occurred prior to the Elm Decline as part of a multi-phase period of agricultural land-use activity. The high resolution spatial and temporal data from North Gill have shown FRPA to be a most sensitive palaeoecological technique, and are discussed in relation to the effects of disturbance upon mire and woodland ecosystems, Mesolithic land-use, pre Elm Decline cereal cultivation and early Neolithic land-use.

Streszczenie:

This thesis examines the use of multi-spectral remotely sensed data in the management of the North York Moors, an upland area of heather moorland in northern England. A series of ground radiometer surveys and airborne simulations are analysed to determine the relative importance of spatial, spectral and temporal resolution as characteristics of earth resources satellites in this environment. Particular reference is made to the potential for selecting and combining data from the Landsat MSS, TM and the SPOT HRV sensors. The results show that spectral resolution can be critical in isolating and recognising elements of the moorland community by their spectral response, especially at the most detailed levels of vegetational description. Temporal resolution has little effect on the discrimination of targets within the heather dominated areas but affects the separability of the major communities of heather, bracken and sedges. Change in spatial resolution has no clear effect on the spectral uniformity and spectral separation of the elements of the heather dominated areas. The interaction between spectral and spatial resolution is more important in isolating the major communities, where the requirement for spatial precision is balanced against the need to suppress spectral variation within the moorland. The hypothesis that multi-spectral remotely sensed data can provide critical information on the distribution and status of moorland vegetation is not refuted in this thesis. Remotely sensed data would make the greatest contribution to management if linked to other spatial data as part of a Geographical Information System. In the absence of such a formal structure satellite imagery can still provide a regular and unique inventory of the moorland habitat which will increase the efficiency of management.

A history of vegetation and climate change during the last two millennia is elucidated from ombrogenous blanket peat sequences from the central and eastern North York Moors. The evidence is derived from five mires Harwood Dale Bog, May Moss, Fen Bogs, Yarlsey Moss and Bluewath Beck. May Moss received particular attention because it is the only remaining unmodified blanket mire on the North York Moors. All the sites were cored, with May Moss yielding seven cores, four of which were extruded along a five metres transect. The cores were selectively analysed for plant macrofossil, testate amoebae, humification and pollen. Chronologies were constructed using 14C dating and the judicious use of biostratigraphic marker horizons. Comparison of 14C dates obtained on bulk peat samples and on pure Sphagnum remains encountered substantial differences, which raises anxieties about 14C dating of a material as heterogeneous as peat. The regional vegetation history elucidated from the pollen evidence reflects changes in the demography, culture, economy and climate of the North York Moors. Evidence of woodland decline and abundant agricultural taxa are attributed to phases of increased agricultural exploitation of the uplands in response to a commercial approach to farming during the Romano-British period, population expansion during the Anglo-Scandinavian period, and attempts to exploit the moorlands during the boom periods of the 12th-13th and 15th-16th centuries. Conversely, phases of woodland expansion and agricultural decline are associated with the Roman withdrawal from England, the 'harrying of the north' in AD 1069-70 and demographic collapse during the 14th century. T estate amoebae, plant macrofossil and humification stratigraphies provide a record of mire palaeohydrology, which is used to infer a history of effective precipitation. There is a broad consistency within the palaeohydrological indications from a single core, which indicates that the techniques support each other. Furthermore, similar testate amoebae, plant macrofossil and humification stratigraphies were encountered in adjacent cores at May Moss. There is evidence of pronounced shifts to wetter/cooler conditions circa 500 BC, AD 450, 850, 1400, 1625 and 1825 separated by unambiguously drier/warmer phases circa AD 200-450, 700-800, 1100-1200, 1550-1600 and 1750-1800. The palaeoclimate time series displays a strong correlation with the record of solar variability; however, biosphere, atmosphere and oceanic interactions in the North Atlantic region and global volcanism also affect regional climate.

Streszczenie:

Through ethnographic research amongst farmers in the North York Moors, and through broader historical and political analysis, I examine the importance and role of values in hard work and beneficent change in negotiated interactions between policy-makers, farmers and conservationists. Within the context of a shift in agricultural support away from production to environmental protection, and within the context of a local conservation initiative to protect a population of freshwater pearl mussels in the River Esk, I show the importance of these values for the construction of farmers' personhoods and their symbolic relations and means of expression through the landscape. I show how those values are persistent and pervasive, yet at the same time mutable and open to interpretation. In particular, I examine alternative conceptions of beneficent change through recourse to the words fettle and improvement. Fettling places value in long-term, steady and incremental change, whereas improvement places value in changes more closely associated with productivist ideals such as expansion and profit. I suggest that it is the mutability of farming values that gives rise to their persistence as they come to be used and reinterpreted according to the changing contexts of their application and the differing interests of a range of groups and individuals. By showing that farmers are able to uphold and express their values differently I argue that it is not so straightforward to predict farmers' responses to changing political exigencies or local conservation initiatives on the basis of homogenous values or the categorisation of farmers into defined "types". Through a rhetoric-culture approach I argue that changes in farming values through time do not merely reflect changing political interests and farmers' subsequent accommodation of them. Rather, it reflects the continued negotiation of those values between farmers and others in the play of agents and patients in the construction of personhood and the formulation of arguments. I argue that the persistence of fettling interpretations of a value in beneficent change reflects the agentive actions of farmers as it remains a useful argumentative strategy with which they can make indictments against new policy impositions and, moreover, it remains functional in guiding their practices in ways suitable to the environment in which they farm.

Streszczenie:

The North York Moors National Park was designated in 1952 to conserve the extensive area of open dry upland heath dominated by Calluna vulgaris. However, problems of moorland management have occurred with the loss of open moorland to agriculture, and forestry. Bracken encroachment, over-aging of heather, and soil erosion are further problems. In attempts to solve these problems, it is necessary to produce vegetation and land cover maps which can be achieved by using remote sensing techniques. This thesis examines the use of Landsat TM data and remote sensing techniques to produce an upland vegetation distribution map which may be useful as a data input for management planning. Landsat TM data acquired on 31st May 1985 were used to discriminate the upland vegetation communities in five sample areas: Blakey, Egton, Farndale, Glaisdale, and Whitby. A supervised box and maximum likelihood classification from the R-CHIPS image processing system is used to determine the distribution of vegetation classes. Spectral coincident plots and scatter diagrams of the training data were examined to produce classmaps. The Habitat maps, used as a guide during computer training stages were also used for assessing the accuracy of classification results. It is shown that the average accuracy of box classification result is about 77% whilst using maximum likelihood classification, overall accuracy of 85% has been achieved. It is shown that bracken, mature Calluna, young Calluna, coniferous plantation, improved grassland, and bryophytes were better discriminated whilst acid flush, acid grassland, and semi-improved acid grassland were less successfully identified. The potential and problems of the techniques are discussed and alternatives strategies to achieved better results are suggested. Using high spatial resolution data such as SPOT imagery, multi-temporal data acquisition, and image filtering may increase the classification accuracies. The combined use of image masking and maximum likelihood classification will reduce generalisation giving high classification accuracy.

Streszczenie:

The history of North Africa is extremely complex, and it has been difficult to assess from genetic and archeological data whether early populations were replaced by later migrations or if there has been continuous settlement of the region. To resolve the history of human origin and migrations in North Africa, I have used two main forms of genetic data, the maternally inherited mtDNA and 730,000 genome-wide SNPs from a genotype array in a sample set representative of the region. I have discovered that North Africa is a mosaic of an autochthonous component dating back to the Paleolithic and at least four other ancestries, two recent ancestries from sub-Saharan Africa and the others from Europe and the Near East. We have also discovered extensive North African gene flow to the Iberian Peninsula, and minor proportions in the rest of the Europe.
La història del Nord d’Àfrica és extremadament complexa, i fins ara ha estat molt difícil determinar a partir de la genètica o l’arqueologia si els primers pobladors van ser reempleçats per migracions posteriors, o si el poblament de la regió ha estat continuat al llarg del temps. Per tal d’investigar els orígens i les migracions de l’home al Nord d’Àfrica he fet servir dos marcadors genètics en un grup de poblacions representatives de la regio, el marcador heretat per via materna, el DNA mitocondrial (mtDNA), i 730,000 SNPs de tot el genoma genotipats amb un xip. He descobert que el Nord d’Àfrica és un mosaic format per un component autòcton amb origens en el Paleolític i un mínim de quatre components més, dos d’ells recents d’origen sub-Saharià i els altres Europeu i d’Orient Proper. També hem descobert un flux genic recent d’origen Nord Africà molt elevat a la Península Ibèrica, i en menor quantitat a Europa.

Streszczenie:

This thesis focuses on documentaries by North African women, who have been marginalised within the limited space of the field of African filmmaking. I illustrate how North African cinema has suffered from neglect in studies on African as well as Arab culture and particularly African and Arab cinema. I discuss the work of four pioneering women documentary makers in Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. Consecutively I will discuss Ateyyat El Abnoudy, Selma Baccar, Assia Djebar and Izza Génini’s work. My approach is transnational and Bakhtinian in the sense that I am an outsider looking in. I promote a constant self-awareness as a Western European and an academic interested in the area that is defined as the Middle East. Like the documentary makers, I take the nation state as a starting point so as to understand its effects, in order to be able to critique it and place the films in a transnational context. The documentaries in this thesis illustrate that films of a socio-political nature contest the notion of a singular national identity and can become a means of self-definition. Asserting one’s own cultural and national identity, and subjectively offering the spectator an individual’s interpretation of that self-definition, is a way towards female emancipation. Going against the grain and avoiding stereotypes, evading censorship and dependence on state control, these directors find ways to give a different dimension to their identity. Analysing the work of these four pioneering filmmakers, I uncover diverse female subject matters treated by a similar aesthetic. I argue that through overlooked cinematic techniques, they succeed in subverting the censor and communicating a subtle but convincing critique of the patriarchal system in their respective countries. Their preoccupation with representing ‘the other half’ puts a new and under-explored spin on perceptions of anti-establishment filming with subtly emancipating consequences. I suggest that their common aesthetic is one that develops moderation in terms of context, content and style. There is a cinematic way of implicitly subverting not only the (colonial) past but also the (neo-colonial) present which goes further than re-inscription or compensation: new modes of resistance co-exist with the more rebellious and heroic ones. These women’s films rewrite, imply and contemplate rather than denounce and attack heroically. They do not reject as much as interrogate their situations, counting on the empathic and intersubjective abilities of the spectator. A relationship of trust between director, subject and spectator is crucial if we want to believe in the subalterns’ aptitude for voicing issues and gazing back. I reveal a different approach to communication beyond the verbal, and a belief in the subjects’ capacities to speak and listen. This is echoed in the filmmaker’s sensitive analysis of the subjects’ expression and voice and the non-vocal expression – the gaze. The intended outcome is dependent on the willingness of the spectator to take part in the intersubjective communication triangle. I conclude with the idea that moderation is the foundational concept of a post-Third Cinema transnational aesthetic in North Africa. Ateyyat El Abnoudy, Selma Baccar, Assia Djebar and Izza Génini are pioneers of women’s filmmaking in North Africa, who opened up a space for underrepresented subjects, voices and gazes.

Nonprofit agencies are instrumental in U.S. society and local communities. While there is significant outreach targeted for wealthy and middle-class Caucasian families, there is a lack of targeted effort for African Americans. The purpose of this case study was to explore the strategies development directors use to engage and retain African American donors. The focus of the research questions was what factors lead to successful engagement campaigns for African Americans. The qualitative case study was suitable for gathering data from multiple sources of information, including an interview questionnaire and existing literature. A purposeful sampling strategy was appropriate for choosing 5 development directors from 5 nonprofit organizations for the open-ended interviews. Transcribed data were analyzed by comparing responses that led to theme creation. Source triangulation utilized for trustworthiness and response interpretation revealed community development, fostering relationships and intentional engagement are themes that attract African Americans. Results of the study showed development directors who utilize community based and family oriented themes and targeted social media campaigns reach more African American patrons. The social implications outlined in this study are intended to assist nonprofit leaders create a stable donor base so they can positively impact the local community. By addressing engagement strategies with a significant portion of the community, nonprofit leaders can attract and retain this largely untapped market for continued sustainability.

Streszczenie:

A fully distributed coupled hydrological-sediment yield model was developed. An assessment was made of the predictive uncertainty in the individual model predictions, as well as the uncertainty propagated from the primary hydrological model to the secondary sediment yield model, using the Generalised Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) methodology. The value of additional data, in the form of additional periods of flow data, as well as deterministic (based on landuse and soil type) and random spatial parameterisation of hydrological parameters in restricting model uncertainty of the spatially lumped model parameterisation were examined, using Bayesian updating. The results revealed significant model uncertainty in both the hydrological and sediment yield models, with uncertainty bounds widest at peak flow and sediment flux, and predictive failure in recession flows, similar to other applications of GLUE methodology. Uncertainty in the sediment yield model was found to be due to uncertainty inherited from the hydrological model, as well as simplifying assumptions made about sediment removal and transport, and resulted in lower model efficiencies and generally poorer qualitative sedigraph fit. The model validation exercise revealed that the calibrated 'optimum' parameter set was not 'optimum' for all validation periods and resulted in inaccurate spatial and temporal hydrological response predictions for the validation periods. This suggested that traditional split-sample model calibration methods may not be effective in capturing the true spatial and temporal variability of the system. Successive periods of flow data were effective in reducing the calibration period uncertainty bounds. Similarly, the use of sediment yield predictions to update hydrological model uncertainty resulted in a reduction in hydrological model uncertainty. Spatially distributed parameterisation was found to also improve model predictions, resulting in a reduction in uncertainty bounds, particularly for soil-distributed parameterisation. However, stochastic parameterisation of spatially variable hydrological parameters provided equally acceptable predictions for both models, suggesting that a deterministic approach might not be required to capture the spatial variability in hydrological and sedimentological response in the study catchment, and that a stochastic approach may be adequate.

Streszczenie:

The cult of Saturn in North Africa is prominent example of syncretism between Roman and Punic religious traditions and of how provincial people represented their cultural identity during the Roman imperial period. Yet despite reaching an apparent zenith in popularity in the early 3rd century A.D., most scholars believe the cult suffered a rapid decline in the 4th century A.D. due to the increased popularity of Christianity. This thesis argues that the cult of Saturn survived both in ritual practice and as a symbol of African identity until the 6th century A.D. African elites used the cult of Saturn to represent their vision of African identity under the Roman Empire. In the 3rd century A.D. elite Africans began to equate Saturn with the Syrian god Bel, and reclaim the Roman mythology associated with the Phoenician founder Belus. Elite Africans used Saturn to link themselves to a mythologised history of Phoenician scientific, and literary achievement. This strategy continued to be used by African Christians in Late Antiquity. In this period Saturn also came to represent the ambivalence many Africans felt towards the Punic and Numidian past. Saturn was an exiled king who was hidden in his own land, and a shadowy figure in the Roman pantheon. This duality was a useful way of describing both the marginal position of temples of Saturn in African townscapes, and of framing African elites’ relationship with the physical remains of the pre-Roman past. Saturn continued to be a prominent symbol of African identity in late antiquity. The works of African Christian authors and on imperial legislation have unduly coloured how archaeologists interpret their evidence. This thesis re-examines the archaeological evidence for late antique ritual practice with a particular focus on small finds such as pots, bones, and coins. These domestic items were increasingly consumed by African peasants in late antiquity, and often appear in structured deposits as offerings in temples of Saturn. These inexpensive everyday objects became a means for non-elite Africans to appropriate temple spaces and connect with their pre-Roman past. We can also see evidence of the cult’s significance in African Christian responses to the cult of Saturn. In criticising the cult, African Christians were forced to frame their own cultural identity in relation to it. This reflected a paradox common to many colonised societies, that provincial elites (including bishops) were forced to master Roman elite culture in order to rise through the ranks, but this alienated them from the Punic speaking and rural Africans they claimed to represent. The most effective Christian rhetors were aware of this irony and used it to expose the same contradictions inherent in the cult of Saturn and its elite leadership.

Streszczenie:

Detailed investigation of the valley fill deposits of Dovedale Griff and Jugger Howe Beck, together with a sedimentological and palaeomagnetic investigation of the sediments of Lake Gormire, provide the basis for an integrated analysis of the temporal and palaeoenvironmental aspects of Holocene valley floor landform development in the North York Moors. A Holocene alluvial chronology is developed for Dovedale Griff and Jugger Howe Beck based on surface soil stratigraphy, radiocarbon dating, morphology and sediment stratigraphy. Surface soils developed into the deposits of the Dovedale Griff terrace fragments are divided statistically into three groups of soils using a combination of Principal Components Analysis and Cluster Analysis. The first principal component is shown to be a compound index of soil properties that represent some of the main morphological and chemical properties of brown podzolic soils and the grouped soils are shown to represent a chronosequence of brown podzolic soils. Each cluster of soils represents one soil stratigraphic unit. The age-calibrated surface soil stratigraphic units from Dovedale Griff are used in a Discriminant Analysis procedure to estimate the ages of undated valley floor surfaces in Jugger Howe Beck. An additional soil stratigraphic unit is identified from Jugger Howe Beck. This fourth unit is shown to have a freely drained phase and a gleyed phase. In Dovedale Griff the alluvial surfaces are dated to about 7100BP, 900BP and about 300BP. In Jugger Howe Beck the main alluvial surfaces are shown to be about 10000BP, 900BP and about 300BP in age. These phases of valley floor development are correlated with phases of instability and stability as revealed by erosion indicators from the sediments of Lake Gormire. Two main phases of synchronous behaviour between the three sites are Identified and their environmental significance discussed. These phases occurred at about 1000 - 900BP and again around about 300BP. A phase of synchronous behaviour between Jugger Howe Beck and Gormire are identified atabout 10000BP. Phases of site specific behaviour are also identified at 7100BP in Dovedale and 2500BP in Lake Gormire. The Holocene environmental changes in the North York Moors are placed In the context of valley floor development In upland Britain. Chronologies of valley floor development for upland regions may not reveal a common temporal pattern of response.

North African populations show a complex genetic structure characterized by the admixture of at least four different components: Middle Eastern, sub-Saharan, European and autochthonous North African. However, there are few genome-wide studies focused on North Africa and only two Berber groups have been included in those analyses. In this thesis genotype array data that increases the number of available Berber samples is introduced. This data shows a heterogenous genetic structure of North African populations, including Berbers, and a lack of genetic differentiation between Berber and Arab groups. Admixture is the main process shaping North African diversity. In the results of this thesis different admixture events are described, mainly related to sub-Saharan gene-flow and Middle Eastern expansions. Furthermore, North African gene-flow into coastal surrounding populations is analyzed, showing a recent historical North African contribution from different geographical places in the European coast and the Canary Islands populations.
Las poblaciones del norte de África presentan una estructura genética compleja caracterizada por la mezcla genética de al menos cuatro componentes: Oriente Medio, África subsahariana, Europa y autóctono del norte de África. Sin embargo, pocos estudios a escala genómica se centran en el norte de África y sólo dos grupos de bereberes han sido incluidos en los análisis. En esta tesis se presentan datos genotipados con chip que aumentan el número de muestras disponibles de bereberes. Estos datos genéticos muestran una estructura heterogénea de las poblaciones del norte de África, incluyendo los bereberes, y una falta de diferenciación genética entre grupos bereberes y árabes. La mezcla genética es el principal proceso que moldea la diversidad norte africana. En los resultados de esta tesis se describen diferentes procesos de mezcla, principalmente relacionados con flujo genético de África subsahariana y expansiones de Oriente Medio. Además, también se analiza el flujo genético desde el norte de África a poblaciones costeras circundantes, mostrando una contribución durante la historia reciente de zonas geográficas diferentes en la costa europea y en las Islas Canarias.

Streszczenie:

The Aterian is a frequently cited stone tool (‘lithic’) industry of the Middle Stone Age (MSA) (ca. 270-50,000-ka) of North Africa. Dating from at least 145 ka, the Aterian’s association with distinctive ‘tang’ hafted tools, the use of pigments, shell beads and other non-lithic artefacts is hypothesised to represent the earliest manifestations of identity and ethnicity, a reflection of ‘modern human cognition’. However, an alternative view contests the extent of the Aterian’s geographical, temporal and cultural integrity. This thesis is the first detailed study to quantitatively test both these hypotheses and establish the technological character of a region at the nexus of human dispersals. Nineteen spatially and temporally representative lithic assemblages from the North African MSA, together with one outgroup from the Arabian Middle Palaeolithic are compared. Building on the emerging evidence for North African population increases and climatic amelioration in Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5, this research develops nested analytical models premised on cultural ecology and niche construction. Subsequent analysis explores the North African MSA as a landscape of population differentiation and/or isolation by distance. A suite of multivariate statistics is used to isolate uncorrelated sources of variability in the data. Principal Components, Correspondence and Regression Analyses suggest that the patterns of similarity and difference observed between assemblages do not simplistically articulate with traditional divisions between named industries. In particular, the Aterian is not defined by the presence of tanged tools. Results instead indicate technological convergence and isolation-by distance structure much of the variability. The identification of aggregation sites also attests the presence of social networks. It is argued that the existence of population structure in the North African MSA has important implications for the evolutionary dynamics of modern human dispersals. The methods and models used here are particularly relevant to further exploring the origins of cultural diversification.

Streszczenie:

Morocco, an emerging nation, is working to contribute to long-term commitments regarding environmental and social sustainability on both local and global levels. Given the urgency of the ecological and social crisis, which is clearly evident at national, regional, and international levels, sustainable development is a response by all actors to reconsider global economic growth in order to take account of the environmental, cultural and social issues in the same balanced development approach. Several initiatives have been introduced in recent years in all areas related to sustainable development, starting with the national human development initiative, the Green Morocco plan, the 2020 Vision for Tourism, among many others (Bilali.2016). Morocco recently received international recognition as the hosts and organizers for the COP22 conference in November 2016. This is the second COP conference they’ve spearheaded, the first being COP7, which took place in 2001. (Zaierg.2016). Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept that is intended to empower companies in their engagement with social and ecological responsibilities of the communities in which they operate and have impact. CSR is implemented within companies through different levers including: human resource management, public affairs, and supply chain management. The processes these business levers carry out are meant to support corporate development to embody more humane and responsible actions, as well as to improve the image of the company in the eyes of its employees and the world at large. CSR is one of the central social pillars defined to achieve sustainable development (World Finance.n.d.2014). As Morocco’s economy develops, companies are faced with the obligation to follow this international approach on sustainability and to construct strategies with long-lasting advantages to support the efficiency and performance of their companies. Despite the recent launch of a wide array of sustainably focused commitments, the country is still poorly ranked according to OECD, ILO, UNDP, and WEF (Hespress.2016). It is within these reports that the gap between Morocco’s highly publicized image and the reality is made painfully clear. What was intended to help progress the countries’ sustainable development may not be feasible in its current state, definitely, drastic changes are needed. (Wilkes.2016)

Streszczenie:

Large-scale rhizome sampling on the North York Moors together with an assessment of published bracken sampling protocols concluded that small-scale sampling of the rhizome system is inadequate to describe upland bracken stands accurately. It is also concluded that the frond cannot be used as an indicator of the rhizome system before or after treatment to achieve bracken control. An improved sampling strategy is proposed which increases the reliability of data collected and the validity of any conclusions drawn form such data. The structure of bracken rhizome systems, from separate stands on the North York Moors, were found to be distinct from one another and demonstrated intrinsic variation which could affect a differential response to control. The most important components of the rhizome system, when considering chemical control using asulam are: the number of buds likely to remain viable afterwards: the rhizome biomass which may effect herbicide dilution: and the origin of frond production which may affect herbicide distribution. The effect of asulam was to cause severe localised damage to buds and apices detectable one year after treatment but the rhizome dry weight remained unaffected. In one instance asulam appeared to have a stimulatory effect on bracken by breaking bud dormancy, this was related to the characteristics of the stand before treatment. It is recommended that the use of asulam is restricted to pioneer or building stands which have a high number of active buds in relation to dormant buds. and a low rhizome dry weight. Crushing bracken once a year effected a temporary reduction in rhizome dry weight and an increase in frond number (which could improve asulam absorption). A combination of crushing and asulam reduced both bud number and rhizome dry weight and was thus the most successful treatment studied for reduction of bracken vigour. In particular. stands adjacent to valued plant communities should be targeted for control. It is suggested that bilberry could be used as a buffer zone between heather and invading bracken. The use of large-scale bracken control programmes in upland regions was questioned due to the apparent ineffectiveness of asulam on the rhizome system. and the difficulty of implementing a programme of successful follow-up and after-care management. A broad clarification of upland bracken, based on the rhizome, was recognised, and general models of selective bracken control suggested, by evaluation of the rhizome system with regard to the number of dormant and active buds, and the rhizome dry weight.

Revisiting the Anthony Burns drama in 1854, the last fugitive slave crisis in Boston, I argue that traditional historical interpretations emphasizing an antislavery groundswell in the North mask the confusion, chaos, ethnic and class tensions, and racial division in the Bay city and also treat Virginia's most famous fugitive slave as an object rather than the Revolutionary and advocate for equal rights that he was. I contend that it was far from clear that antislavery beliefs were on the rise in midcentury Boston. I show that antislavery views had to compete with other less noble, sometimes racist, sentiments and with white Bostonians' concerns about law and order. Many white Bostonians sought to conserve the Union as it was; they did not seek to extend the fruits of the Revolution to a fugitive slave or to their black neighbors. The message that many black Bostonians took from the drama was that they could not depend on their white neighbors, including supposedly friendly abolitionists; they had to unite and look out for their own interests. Reexamining the link between Anthony Burns and the coming of the Civil War suggests that the most significant impact of the crisis was on the white South, not the North. Events in Boston seemed to confirm white Southerners' suspicions that antislavery feelings were on the rise in the North, which fueled their anxiety about the future protection of their interests in the Union. The crisis also accentuated differences between Northern and Southern societies, and white Southerners saw their society, with slavery at its center, as distinctly good. The Burns crisis thus encouraged their defense of slavery as a positive good. Finally, I demonstrate that when Anthony Burns moved to Canada West and joined St. Catharines' vibrant black community, he did not relinquish his fight against slavery; he fled America but not the fight against human bondage.

Streszczenie:

Dust aerosol is abundant and important in the Earth system due to its influence on the radiation balance, the hydrological cycle, human health and ecosystems. Reducing the currently large uncertainties in dust effects requires realistic simulations of the lifecycle of dust aerosol which depends on the time, location and amount of dust emission. Emission estimates from models show a large variety, the reduction of which requires a systematic evaluation of dust-emitting winds. Different processes are known, but their relative importance was previously poorly quantified. This work investigates dust-emitting winds in North Africa based on single meteorological processes which helps guiding future model development. Based on 32 years of ERA-Interim data and a dust model, the emission amounts associated with nocturnal low-level jets (NLLJs), atmospheric depressions and mobile, long-lived cyclones are estimated climatologically for the first time. The results highlight NLLJs as an important driver for dust emission, particularly in the Bodélé Depression during winter. Associated maxima in mid-morning emission underline the importance of temporally high-resolved winds for dust modelling. ERA-Interim systematically underestimates NLLJ core wind speeds, likely due to artificially increased mixing in stable boundary layers. Derived emission frequencies over the Bodélé Depression agree well with observations, but differ elsewhere. Atmospheric depressions, often in the form of heat lows and lee depressions, occur frequently and coincide with the majority of dust emission. Few depressions develop into mobile and long-lived cyclones which coincide with particularly intense events. The largest emission fractions associated with cyclones are found in northeast Africa during spring, primarily at day with a small emission reduction by soil moisture. Smaller West African areas show similar fractions, likely associated with nearsurface signatures of African Easterly Waves. Comparing results derived from ERA-Interim against the Earth system model of the UK Met Office shows considerable disagreement in NLLJ core wind speeds and dust emissions. In depth analysis underlines the urgency for model development that improves the synoptic-scale conditions and the stable boundary layer. Such model improvements hold the potential to advance the scientific understanding of dust aerosol in the Earth system.

Streszczenie:

This study determines the methods, products a nd areas of marine resource exploitation in the northwest Maghreb during the mid-1stto late 3rd centuries AD, when the region constituted the Roman province of Mauretania Tingitana. At the centre of this thesis are two data sets that are contextualised within the specific marine, lagoonal and riverine environments of the province: regional archaeological data (marine an imal remains, fishing equipment, and finds related to fish-salting practices) and relevant descriptive data (written sources, iconography and ethnography). This material included in this study derives not only from the Roman period but also the preceding Punico-Mauretanian and subsequent Late Roman periods. Such a diachronic analysis identifies the ways in which the practice and role of fishing and consumption of its products we re affected by the region’s incorporation into the Roman Empire. The region’s maritime cultural landscape was conducive to a variety of exploitation methods, practised throughout all periods examined. However, the socio-cultural, economic and technological structures that were the consequences of inclusion into the Roman political system developed to a level that reached commercialisation of the resource. Thus, for the first three centuries AD, anthropogenic factors instituted a change in the way in which people moved through and related to the marine environment of the northwest Maghreb.

Streszczenie:

Assumptions about space, argues the feminist geographer Doreen Massey, are such an integral part of intellectual and everyday discourse that we are often not conscious of their existence and significance, and yet, they have profound consequences for how society is organised. However, these assumptions are not inherent to our thinking; they are socially constructed, produced and inherited through a number of hegemonic and Eurocentric discourses on space, leading to what Edward Soja and Henri Lefebvre refer to as the “mystification” of space and spatiality. The main aim of this research is to investigate how the literary treatment of space and place shapes the representations of space, place and spatial loss in the writing of ten postcolonial Francophone authors from the Maghreb and Canada from a cross-cultural and cross-generational perspective. It asks whether these authors participate in the “demystification” (in the sense this concept is used by Edward Soja) or the unveiling of the hidden relationship between space and power contained in the Eurocentric discourse on space by creating counter-discourses and strategies that challenge dominant constructions about space, or whether they in fact reinforce this (these) discourse(s) on space despite their presumed postcoloniality. The research presented critically evaluates the concepts and theories of space and place in human geography and applies these to the study of space, place and spatial loss in the postcolonial Francophone texts selected from the viewpoint of three main literary themes (imagination, memory and the border) and the potential that these three themes offer for a “demystification of space”. It combines a range of theoretical perspectives and, simultaneously, tests a method of close reading (semiotic analysis) in the analysis of the texts selected and the literary spaces they are seen to belong to in a more systematic way than previously attempted. It sets out to examine how a semiotic reading of the (Western and non-Western) postcolonial Francophone text engages with Massey’s and Soja’s socio-political understandings and theories on space and spatiality, and what limitations and advantages can be observed through the use of these theories in combination. The research concludes that the postcolonial discourse on space and place in the texts selected is expressed through the values and strategies of ambiguity and ambivalence, not subversion as has been previously suggested. It shows that the themes of imagination, memory and the border play a significant role for the ways in which space and place are conceptualised in those texts, with the theme of the border offering the highest potential for challenging hegemonic assumptions about space. It shows that semiotics can become an effective tool in the unveiling of the values and value systems embedded in the Eurocentric discourse on space, when used in combination with other theoretical approaches. By debating the issue of the “demystification of spatiality” in the literary context, it ultimately raises the larger question of the status and relationship of literariness (or poetics) and political engagement (or politics) of the texts produced within the postcolonial Francophone context.

Streszczenie:

This thesis identifies the severe impact of compulsory heterosexuality in the African-American community. In particular, I explore the ways in which compulsory heterosexuality is tied to the legacy of slavery and how it damages Black female subjectivity as well as Black love relationships. I focus on three novels by African-American women ? Gayl Jones?s Corregidora (1975), Opal Palmer Adisa?s It Begins with Tears (1997) and Pearl Cleage?s What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day (1997) ? to illustrate the struggle that Black women face when subjected to sexual and emotional restrictions. I submit that the opposition to compulsory heterosexuality is elective bonding, in which women demand agency in all relationships. Chapter one discusses the authors? portrayals of how compulsory heterosexuality causes a repression of female desire, particularly when women structure their sexual lives around male satisfaction and reproduction. Chapter two focuses on the power of compulsory heterosexuality to obstruct female bonding from women?s lives, mainly by promoting female competition for the male gaze. Finally, chapter three outlines the steps necessary to escape the limitations of compulsory heterosexuality and to enter into elective bonding. My research suggests that effective elective bonding depends largely on building female community. Elective bonding ultimately prepares women to be active agents in all relationships, particularly those with men, in which they denounce compulsory heterosexuality and demand reciprocity. In this project, I posit that female bonding is the medium through which women can escape the sexual and emotional limitations of compulsory heterosexuality.

The purposes of this study were to determine what program characteristics African American parents consider when they enroll their children into an informal science education enrichment program, the parents? evaluation of a program called Jordan Academy in which they enrolled their children, and the alignment of the parents? perspectives with Black Cultural Ethos (BCE). BCE refers to nine dimensions posited by Wade Boykin, a psychologist, as comprising African American culture. Participants were parents of students that attended Jordan Academy, an informal science enrichment program designed for third through sixth grade students from underserved populations. Qualitative methodologies were utilized to perform a thorough assessment of parents? perspectives. Data sources included classroom observations, student surveys, academy curriculum, photos and video-taped class sessions. Data included teachers and parents? responses to semi-structured, audio recorded interviews and students? written responses to open-ended items on the program?s evaluation instrument. The data were analyzed for themes. and the findings compared to Black Cultural Ethos. Findings revealed that the participants believed that informal science education offered their children opportunities not realized in the formal school setting - a means of impacting their children holistically. The parents expressed the academic, cultural, and personal development of their children in their characterizations of the ideal informal science education experience and in their evaluations of Jordan Academy. Overall, the parents? views emphasized the BCE values of harmony, affect, verve, movement, orality and communalism. The study has important implications for practices within and research on informal science education.

Streszczenie:

La littérature et le cinéma sur l'émigration décrivent principalement les personnages migrants irréguliers comme des damnés n'ayant aucune place dans un monde globalisé. Nonobstant cela, les « harragas » s’empressent de « brûler » leur identité sur des bateaux minuscules et surchargés, dans des périples mortels, et allégoriquement comparés à une quête d'initiation. Ce faisant, ils s'efforcent d'exister en traversant silencieusement des frontières émotionnelles, psychologiques et physiques. Par conséquent, à travers des romans et des films contemporains d'Afrique du Nord et de l'Ouest sur l'immigration irrégulière, je montre que le confinement dans un processus silencieux est en réalité un signe de résistance des migrants africains francophones sans papiers.

Ma dissertation s'articule autour de quatre parties principales, à savoir un chapitre préliminaire sur les perspectives théoriques, et trois autres chapitres sur le franchissement des frontières comme un voyage initiatique, le silence en contexte d’émigration irrégulière et le lien entre immigration et résistance.

Dans ma recherche, je me réfère aux concepts de silence et de résistance pour explorer divers aspects du franchissement illégal des frontières et ses conséquences. En particulier, je me focalise sur les corps des « clandestins », qui transmettent un message même s'ils s'avèrent souvent être des cadavres. Dans ce processus, je m'appuie sur le Monomythe de Joseph Campbell, notamment les étapes du voyage du héros, les idées de Mbembe sur le postcolonialisme et les théories sur le silence développées par Van den Heuvel, de la Motte, Hanus & Nazarova et Le Breton. J'utilise aussi la théorie de James Scott sur les formes de résistance au quotidien, et je parle du concept d'initiation tel que défini par des théoriciens comme Amadou Ouédraogo.

En fin de compte, le « brûlage » des frontières dans les productions littéraires pourrait être analysé comme un acte silencieux de survie et de résistance des personnages africains postcoloniaux qui cherchent à changer leur image de perdants, même s'ils font face à un monde occidental qui, graduellement, ferme ses frontières et se présente comme une « forteresse. »
