Abstract:

Due to the growing importance of social responsibility in business processes, various topics of corporate social responsibility are being versatile and exhaustively examined and discussed in the scientific literature, but still there is a lack of research and discussions on implementation, consolidation and development measures of corporate social responsibility, in particular the employees of organization as a key one. Considering the relevance of the consolidation and development of corporate social responsibility and basing on the analysis of concepts of social responsibility and theories o

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with understanding the social representations that impact on how stakeholders understand, value and act in relation to urban consolidation, a planning policy designed to increase the density of housing in existing urban areas. The study revealed that urban consolidation is a complex topic that involves associated issues of land use conflict, regional population management, investment and property, home and housing affordability, neighbourhood change and urban renewal. Urban consolidation is a political topic subject to vested interests and often doesn't achieve the pos

Abstract:

Sutherland, Sparks and Lehmann (2010) proposed a new theory of memory consolidation, termed Distributed Reinstatement Theory (DRT), where the hippocampus (HPC) is needed for initial encoding but some types of memories are established in non-HPC systems through post-learning HPC activity. An evaluation of the current methodology of temporary inactivation was conducted experimentally. By permanently implanting two bilateral guide cannulae in the HPC and infusing ropivacaine cellular activity could be reduced by 97%. Rats were trained in a context-fear paradigm.

Abstract:

Background. The consolidation of episodic memory is particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in glucocorticoid levels, both during wakefulness and during sleep. Corticosteroid exposure is associated with changes in endogenous glucocorticoid activity, sleep disruption, episodic memory impairment, and reduced hippocampal volume. This dissertation had two primary aims. The first was to explore the relationship between corticosteroid exposure and sleep-dependent memory processes, including dreaming, with special focus on associations between corticosteroid exposure and (a) night-time glucocorticoid

Abstract:

Several lines of evidence from rapid serial visual presentation, attentional blink, and dual-task interference phenomena propose that human beings have a significant limitation on the short-term consolidation process. Short-term consolidation is transferring early representations to more durable forms of memory. Although previous research has shown that masks presented after targets interrupt the consolidation process of information, there is not enough evidence for the role of attention in consolidation for episodic memory.

Abstract:

<p> School consolidation, which involves closing one or more schools and combining them into a single school, is a common phenomenon in rural Appalachian communities due to out-migration and lack of funding for public schools. When school consolidation occurs, the local school may be closed, or students from other communities may be bused to the school. Community residents, however, do not always agree with the decision to consolidate their local schools. When this disagreement occurs, residents may choose to participate in organized resistance activities to show their opposition, make thei

Abstract:

In young rats, the pattern of neuronal ensemble activity correlations expressed among hippocampal pyramidal cells during behavior, persists during subsequent off-line periods, such as quiet wakefulness and slow-wave sleep. This process may facilitate the consolidation of memories. The present study explored the hypothesis that age-related changes in this process might contribute to age-related memory impairments. Neuronal activity was recorded from CAI pyramidal cells in young and old rats during track running and off-line periods before and after track running. Two methods were used to quanti

Abstract:

Over the past 20 years metropolitan plans have attempted to improve urban sustainability by reshaping Australian cities to include a network of compact activity centres. This research provides the first long-term and comprehensive evaluation of the implementation of greater Brisbane's activity centre policies and finds that although the plans were used as intended, they failed to achieve the desired outcomes. The research raises doubts about the current Australian planning system's capability to deliver on its core promises to reshape urban development. These results have implications for how

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the issue of co-production; that is, the joint provision of services involving residents, the local government and private providers. Co-production is a commonly used approach to facilitate access to basic services in informal settlements in the developing world. But, rigorous micro-econometric evaluation of its causal effects is rare. This study uses a ‘natural experiment’, possible due to strict technical reasons involved in the provision of gas energy to informal neighbourhoods in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area, to estimate the effects on the social and physical
