Abstract:
Biological progress consists of the continuous increase of divergence with simultaneous maintenance and the increase of conformance (harmoniousness) of living systems. A mutual balance between divergence of forms and the degree of perfection of their structure and function indicates a level of the evolutionary development of a particular group of organisms, i.e. a level and prospects of their evolutionary progress. An enormous potential of combined genetic polymorphousness is reduced to adaptive landscapes of a limited number of developmental programmes that make actual units of inheritance and variability within each species.

Abstract:
Enzymes are remarkable catalysts. Their potential to catalyse specific reactions with a high degree of regio- and stereo-selectivity was exploited in the early days of steroid manufacture where, despite relatively poor productivity, the exquisite selectivity of the conversions meant that it was possible to economically convert readily available precursors into valuable intermediates for final product synthesis. This avoided the attrition of multi-step de novo chemical synthesis, a factor which was inherent in most commercially successful biotransformation processes prior to the introduction of molecular cloning. Finding the best enzyme for the reaction was largely based on extensive microbial isolation and screening programmes, and the chosen isolate or a mutant thereof would also be the production host.

Abstract:
This paper, based on the winning entry to the Excellence in Structural Engineering Education Award 2019, presents a multifaceted yet controlled exploration of the potential to achieve progressive change towards a new vision of structural engineering education. The various teaching interventions presented were undertaken in third- and fourth-year modules forming part of the Bachelor (Honours) of Structural Engineering degree programme at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Ireland. The interventions sought to improve creativity and conceptual design skills, redress the burden of analysis and technical design, while also developing skills in confirmation, communication and teamwork. Feedback from students was received in various formats. Overall, the interventions described, while challenging, were well received. In conclusion, outcomes from the test cases described in this paper provide a strong foundation for further beneficial evolution of the programme, without fear of harm to the programme's well-established reputation in both academia and industry.

Abstract:
Abstract An inevitable consequence of the development of the Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., farming industry in coastal waters of the British Isles has been the loss of farmed salmon to the wild, their occurrence in inshore waters and rivers, and their appearance in coastal and freshwater fisheries. Monitoring programmes have been developed throughout the British Isles, variously using scientific sampling, catch records from coastal or freshwater fisheries or both, and scientific sampling of catches from in-river traps. We compare the results of these monitoring programmes with regional production and the numbers of escapees reported from marine fish farms. We also consider the effectiveness of the programmes for assessing the prevalence of farmed salmon that escape from marine cages. Finally, we make recommendations for improvements to these programmes and for the development of best practice, including the scientific sampling of in-river spawning stocks through fishery-independent sources, identification of fish origin based on at least two methods, assessment of the degree of incorrect classification, and the timely and accurate reporting of all escapes.

Abstract:
AbstractThe concurrent processes of globalisation, computerisation, and integration shape and constantly modify developmental factors and generate multidirectional social changes. Among social life fields, one of them has been particularly sensitive to the impact of those processes and has remained in clear feedback relationship with them is education, including university-level education. This article aims to present some reflections on the key processes which influence the environment of higher education institutions’ activity and on what their impact specifically is. The factors taken into account include: the transformation of the political and economic system, integration with the European higher education area, the market shift of education, evolving social demands towards higher education institutions and society’s attitude towards work. As knowledge has become an asset largely affecting the quality of life of people and society, universities have changed their focus from searching for and exploring truth, good and beauty in the world towards becoming innovation centres, transferring knowledge as offering their educational services. In this article, those trends have been exemplified in relation to geography degree programmes, and shown through an evolution of the model of the university. Based on a review of the literature, it seems that the processes discussed also concern geography degree programmes, and the future operation of these programmes closely depends on whether they can maintain their care for high quality education coupled with genuine efforts to ensure the smooth transition of graduates into the labour market.

Full text
Abstract:
Range regeneration programmes and related research are reviewed for three major project areas - the Ord River Catchment, the Fitzroy River Frontage and the Winter Rainiall Arid Zone. Successful regeneration techniques are well established for the Ord River Catchment although the ongoing management of treated areas presents a number of difficulties. Regeneration techniques for the Fitzroy Frontage have not been firmly established but, if economically justifiable, are likely to involve water ponding and the amelioration of soil conditions by organic mulch accumulation. It is argued that extension of the water ponding principle to areas of higher slope than those on which the technique is normally used is likely to be an important component of the development of regeneration procedures in the arid zone. Experience in all three environments suggests that a number of principles apply generally. Control of grazing by native and feral animals is a pre-requisite for successful regeneration in any environment. The rate of response to regeneration treatments seems to be inversely related to the degree of degradation suggesting that less severely degraded areas are likely to provide the best economic return from regeneration programmes. Processes of ecological succession seem important in all regeneration activities in the rangelands and cannot be entirely bypassed by cultural intervention.

Abstract:
Abstract The paper presents the evolution and trends in the Master’s-level studies in aerospace engineering in Italy, looking at the past 20 years. In the year 2000, a major reform of the higher education in engineering took place in Italy, with the introduction of the so-called ‘Bologna system’ and the clear separation of Bachelor’s and Master’s degree studies. With this reform, a relatively high flexibility was given to universities to define their programme structures. The ministerial rules defined only broad subject areas within which courses and credits should be allocated. This reform allowed the diversification of the educational profile within each university and, even more relevant, allowed the creation of mobility across the country between Bachelor’s and Master’s study programmes. The paper will show the basic facts and figures in the six Italian universities participating in the Partnership of a European Group of Aeronautics and Space UniversitieS (PEGASUS) network (Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino, Università di Pisa, Università degli Studi di Napoli ‘Federico II’, Sapienza Università di Roma and Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna), elaborating on the impact of the potential workforce for the sector. Data have been collected from the official open data repository of the Italian Ministry of University, supplemented by information provided by the six universities under analysis. The comparative analysis shows two major results: the positive impact of the reform on the overall Italian higher education and, specifically, a greater appreciation of the aerospace curricula proposed in accordance with the new system.

Abstract:
This article explores the aspects of employer engagement in higher education (HE). The vocational field of the adventure and outdoor industry provides the context, with associated undergraduate degrees offering contemporary ‘real-world’ provision, underpinned by values of inclusivity and widening participation – an approach that addresses issues high on the government and HE agendas and of which employer engagement is an integral part. The field also reflects the evolution of modern vocational degree programmes and the tensions that persist between ‘traditional’ and ‘non-traditional’ provision alongside changing industry demands. In a constantly changing global, political and social environment, UK universities are under increasing pressure from government to strengthen university–employer cooperation. This article examines key factors that universities, industry and government should consider when advocating real-world learning and the potential of employer engagement, including the powerful influence of the ‘student’ perspective and demands for a high-quality experience and satisfaction in terms of career preparation.

Abstract:
A traditional event Dragacevo trumpet festival, which is being held since 1961 in Guca (a small town in Western Serbia), represents the most visited cultural manifestation in Serbia. A growing popularity of the Festival (according to the organizer?s statistics, a number of visitors at the last few festivals was around 800 000) has to do with, among other things, its programme conception whose evolution reflects changes in cultural policies of the organizer. The analysis of a diachronic dimension of the Festival in this paper is aimed at marking main points in several decades of the Festival?s development which contributed to re-positioning and affirmation of brass bands practice in Serbia. The local event evolved into a manifestation of intercultural profile not only by the structure of the audience, but also by the music presented there. Nowadays, the concept is recognized practically in all events of this convocation festival: in competition programmes - at national and, recently introduced, international level, and especially at revue performances of brass bands with free programmes. In specific situations at the Festival, different trumpet practices are manifested predominantly as the products of intercultural relations, implied in this paper as an active coexistence of cultures. A way and a degree of interaction between cultures result in the contents in which ?cultures in a dialogue? can be clearly identified, but also in the hybrids with transcultural characteristics. The exact interactive processes present a paradigmatic value of the whole Dragacevo trumpet festival in Guca - as a meeting point of (music) cultures of the world.

Poulter, Grace D. "The learner identities of older adults engaged in higher degree programmes." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2017. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/8847/.

Abstract:
Doctoral students are often popularly portrayed as early career researchers and/or academics, engaged single mindedly in esoteric research projects; in other words, they are perceived as boffins. However much this may have been true (or not) in the past, this is certainly not the case in the 21st century. New routes to doctoral qualification have proliferated in recent years and with this growth and diversification the learner identities of the participants engaged in doctoral programmes has also broadened and diversified. Adopting a case study approach, based upon the narratives of 15 professional doctorate students who entered the programme over the age of 40, this study aimed to critically explore the reality of learner identities of these older adults engaged in higher degree study. This qualitative study has explored in depth and detail, the motivational factors driving this student group to embark upon a professional doctorate in mid- to later-life. The identities of these candidates have also been explored through the rich, qualitative data collected in the one-to-one semi-structured interviews that formed the basis of the project. Five significant findings resulted from the analysis and discussion of the qualitative data. The first was that a strength of the particular doctoral programme examined in the case study was that it offered people in mid- to later-life educational opportunities that may have been denied to the, for various reasons, at an earlier stage in the life-cycle. A second finding was that the professional doctorate was attractive to professional people because it provided a staged entry into academia and allowed the professional experience and competences of the candidates to become an integral part of the admissions procedures. The third finding related to the diverse learner identities of the participants. The fourth finding suggests that postgraduate study in general, and doctoral study in particular, can be life enhancing and provide measures of inclusion and social justice that may have been denied to people in earlier life. The study concluded on the fifth finding, that the professional doctorate would be improved by being embedded more firmly in a work-based or workplace learning approach which would further support the strong professional identities of the project participants.

Khoury, Ogareet. "Investigating the translation competence of graduates of Bachelor degree programmes in Jordan." Thesis, Aston University, 2017. http://publications.aston.ac.uk/31551/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates perceptions of competence held by graduates, translator trainers, and employers. Previous research in Jordan had revealed that graduates struggle to secure a job in translation because translator training programmes do not prepare them sufficiently enough to meet the market requirements (Shunnaq, 2009; Yousef, 2004, Al-Hamad, 2014). This research takes these initial studies further by using the PACTE multi-componential translation competence model (2000, 2003, 2011). The study was conducted at two different phases in consequential procedures, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. It revealed that while the graduates mildly agree on the development of their translation competence, the teachers and the employers disagree on this development and perceive several ‘core competences’ as lacking in graduates. The study contributes to translator pedagogy in Jordan by providing detailed data on the competences that are underdeveloped in graduates relating them to the suggestions of the teachers on what needs to be stressed in the curriculum. Furthermore, it unveils the competences that are required the most by the employers versus those that are lacking in graduates. Based on the findings, the curriculum design can be amended to ensure more efficient programmes and thus a better development of translator competence. This study also contributes to research into translation competence development by arguing that competence is not only a defined notion or a multi-componential model. Competence is a perception that is governed by a socio-cultural and academic context. In a context where the experts themselves are lagging behind in research and where the stakeholders are working out of sync, the concept of translation competence still seems to be basically determined by the bilingual competence. Furthermore, the study also contributes to translation pedagogy by revealing that when the students’ role is suppressed, the students show poor ability to assess their development, thus over-estimate themselves.

Abstract:
What influences the evolution of junior school reading programmes in the classrooms of beginning teachers? Of all the classroom skills required of beginning teachers, those contributing to the implementation of an effective instructional reading programme perhaps represent some of the most complex and sophisticated challenges that will be encountered. Add to this the critical importance to young children of successfully learning to read and the very obvious picture of reading progress revealed by modern assessment practices, and the result is an aspect of teaching that can assume a position of significant focus. This is especially true for teachers working with junior school children. This study investigated the current practices of three junior school teachers during their first two years teaching, how these practices have evolved over time and identifies the factors that have influenced each teacher. Participants' stories were gathered during individual interviews to establish current practices and these were compared with a typical sample of classroom reading instruction that had been captured on video prior to the initial interviews. Each teacher also participated in an individual follow up interview during which they were able to observe the sample video excerpt and comment reflectively upon their practice in the light of their observations. This study found that developing effective junior school reading programmes generated considerable angst for these beginning teachers. While they were able to draw upon preservice preparation when articulating their intentions, the transition from the abstractions of theory to the realities of classroom practice challenged their teaching skills in this fledgling stage of their career. Despite an apparent commitment to guided reading as emphasized in pre-service literacy courses, each participant implemented round robin reading as their initial teaching strategy. In order to implement reading pedagogy as advocated within their pre-service experiences, the emergence of a professional conscience appears to have been critical. The way that teachers' understanding of literacy acquisition consolidates is greatly influenced by their practical classroom experiences and the personal capacity that they bring to the teaching role. The findings of this study support Berliner (1994) and Huberman (1989) because each of the teachers could be placed on a trajectory of teacher development. However stage related views of professional development do not fully reflect the complexity of individuals combined with the uniqueness of their contexts. The broader perspective highlighted in the work of Nias (1989) provided a framework more accommodating of the realities encountered during this study.

Abstract:
Since 1994, a number of higher education policy documents detailing the scope for transformation and restructuring of education have been published. Diminishing financial support from government, coupled with greater public demand for improved services necessitate technikons to become innovative higher education institutions. The marketing concept, the underlying platform of market orientation, was developed for commercial organisations. It is proposed that this marketing philosophy could be extended to technikons. Technikons can learn from the private sector about improving their service delivery by using market orientation principles and concepts. The purpose of this study was to theoretically and empirically examine and evaluate the applicability of market orientation to business studies degree programmes at technikons in KwaZulu-Natal. The study examined the opinions and perceptions of programme managers and graduates of business studies degrees from technikons in KwaZulu-Natal. The literature evaluated the developments in market orientation theory and practice, described the types and other relevant issues pertaining to higher education institutions in South Africa, and the intluence of the marketing environment on technikons in KwaZulu-Natal. The research was conducted using a stratified random sample for graduates, and due to the relatively small size of sampling frame for programmemanagers, it was decided to send out questionnaires to all programme managers. The data for this study has been obtained by the analysis of the responses to questionnaires that were administered among graduates and programme managers of business studies degrees from technikons in KwaZulu-Natal. Questionnaires were grouped into four constructs of market orientation, viz. intelligence generation, intelligence dissemination, response design and response implementation for both categories of respondents. The analysis of the results revealed important findings. The perceptions of programme managers and graduates on levels of market orientation for business studies degrees are reported. The diierence in the constructs between males and females for both programme managers and graduates are analysed. The discrepancies between programme managers and graduates expectations of service quahty are reported. Specific recommendations have been made which can improve the levels of market orientation at technikons for business studies degrees.<br>Thesis (Ph.D. (Business Management))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Abstract:
Academics are at the forefront of the inception, design and delivery of Fds and therefore are responsible for ensuring the aims are met, but their views on the award and the delivery of curricula have not been sought. Foundation degrees (Fds) were introduced in 2000 and although courses have been evaluated, this has been from the employer or student perspective. Fds were created to meet a number of government agendas and were seen as unique, bringing together: life-long learning, widening participation, flexibility of delivery, employer engagement and work-experience. This research uses a mixed methods methodology. This includes: collating curriculum documents to explore commonalities and differences, a questionnaire sent out to academics across the UK, and semi-structured interviews of course teams from three Further Education colleges and three universities. Unexpected findings were that academics felt their own development had been enhanced through working with Fds. This had been transformative in relation to their career pathway or challenged them to develop their approaches to teaching. The other significant finding was that academics perceived Fd students as different or ‘other’ from those students on ‘traditional courses’. The students were described as hard working, motivated but also challenging and lacking self-confidence. A recurring theme was that Fds had provided a ‘second chance’. This led to discussions as to whether Fds are a bridge between a series of liminal states on a journey from affirmative to transformational learning. Other findings highlighted the complexity of developing and delivering Fds in collaboration with employers, other higher education providers and within institutions. The research found that Fds are complex and have no specific identity but consist of a family of awards. They meet widening participation and employers’ needs, but are not fully understood. The research has significance not only for Fds, but also future courses that aim to widen participation, include employer engagement and enable students to develop skills for specific work settings. The academics’ perspective adds to the existing views of employers and students of Fds about whether they have been successful.

Abstract:
Extensive previous research has shown that web-based technologies have the potential to improve and enhance the quality of learning both on campus and at a distance. However, most of these studies have focused on the application of web-based technologies to support either undergraduates or taught postgraduate programmes, particularly, the use of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) system to complement module-based courses. Evidence from previous research on the use of VLE to support research students in the context of specific modules showed mixed results. Analysis of the VLE literature suggests that the system arranges courses based on academic calendar. Thus, students will not be able to access the system after the semester end. With postgraduate research, the processes of research are often incomplete even when students have graduated and they often seek to further the work through publication in journals. Therefore, using VLE alone would not possibly support the need of research student, particularly the support that they need throughout the stages of the research life cycle. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to investigate how a web portal could be designed to support the research students throughout the research life cycle. A conceptualised web portal design has been constructed through an extensive review of the web-based technologies, learning theories and research degrees literature. The conceptualised web portal design illustrates that the design is underpinned by adult learning theories and the theory of stages in socialisation development, which in turn inform the framework of this research study. This model was then validated and updated through four action research cycles. A web portal system was developed, using the prototyping method to demonstrate the application of the web portal design informed by the adult learning theories and theory of stages in socialisation development. The research findings suggest that action research and prototyping methodology is capable of designing a web portal that is able to support the needs of research students in the context of a life cycle approach. Furthermore, the study reveals that personalisation and customisation features have proved to be useful in providing relevant information to research students at each stage of the research students’ study. It was found that research students value dynamic content such as Really Simple Syndication (RSS) features for providing condensed, updated content relevant to their interests.

Abstract:
In this article on a passage from Matthew Lewis's The Monk (1796), Peter Wenzel shows how to analyse powerful literary horror texts with a »psycho-biological approach«. Drawing on evolution-based embodied patterns, Lewis's text displays the affect programme of a typical predator-prey confrontation, including the sensation of coldness, bristling hair, body shaking, reduced respiration, and a prey animal's final shock paralysis in view of its predator. Conceptual metaphors and a spell-like poem increase the programme's effect. Concluding with empirical evidence from responses to the text, the article discusses the question to what degree embodied suspense patterns are open to cultural modification.

Abstract:
AbstractThe crisis that started in Greece in 2010 gradually spread to other Eurozone member states. Things were worse for the crisis-hit countries of the Eurozone periphery, some of which implemented harsh adjustment programmes in the context of financial assistance agreements, while others adopted similar policies even though they had not officially entered a bailout agreement (e.g. Spain and to a lesser degree Italy). In this environment of deteriorating material conditions, Euroscepticism reached new heights. This chapter examines the impact of the crisis, and the way it was handled, on regionalism in Europe, through its effects on Euroscepticism. The authors compare Eurobarometer data from European Union (EU) member states, in order to develop a comparative outlook on attitudes towards European integration during the crisis. The analysis employs data at discreet time intervals, in order to capture the evolution of attitudes from the pre-crisis environment in 2008, to the peak of the crisis in 2012, its gradual resolution in 2016 and its official ending (with the exit of Greece from its third bailout programme) in 2018. This analysis is complemented by an overview of the political developments in crisis-hit countries with the objective of documenting and analysing the emergence and, in some cases, dominance of Eurosceptic parties. The objective is to present a comprehensive overview of political developments and the public attitudes that shaped them, vis a vis the EU, during the crisis and offer a tentative conclusion on their impact on the European integration process.

Abstract:
AbstractThe chapter explores the trajectories of the evolution of political science (PS) in four former Soviet Socialist Republics (Estonia and Lithuania, the Republics of Moldova and Belarus) after the USSR collapse. Departing from the premise that PS is appreciated as the science of democracy, the authors claim that its identity and autonomy are particularly important. Research shows that PS in these countries started from the same impoverished basis (“scientific communism”), but it soon took diverse trajectories and currently faces specific challenges. Democracy, pro-Western geopolitical settings and the shorter period of Sovietization contributed to the faster and more sustainable development of PS in two Baltic States. However, in Estonia, political developments have led to the retrenchment of PS and to downsize of universities’ departments and study programmes. In Lithuania, political scientists are very visible in the public sphere. In Moldova, its uncertain geopolitical orientation and a series of internal political conflicts have led to the weak identity of PS and questionable prospects for its further institutionalization. In authoritarian Belarus, PS as an academic discipline exists within a hostile political environment and under a hierarchical system of governance offering practically no degree of academic freedom.

Abstract:
Abstract With the ever-increasing concerns about global warming, traditional oil and gas companies started rebranding as energy companies, diversifying and expanding their energy portfolio beyond fossil fuel. This has steered job market opportunities and encouraged Petroleum Engineering (PE) programs in different universities to diversify their programs and direct them towards energy rather than traditional PE. This study investigates the recent impact of this energy expansion on PE BSc, MSc, and PhD programs worldwide. This paper is an extension of our previous work (SPE-216532-MS) that discussed the courses and skills needed for the undergraduate PE curriculum to meet future energy requirements. Nevertheless, the current study covers the changes (if any) in BSc, MSc, and PhD degree programs related to PE or Energy Systems, as well as offered minors, concentrations, and professional degrees toward better preparation of future engineers for the energy market. The analysis was conducted on PE programs of top universities in different regions worldwide. These programs were selected based on different 2024 world university rankings, including Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), Times Higher Education (THE), US News and World Report, and the Academic Ranking of World Universities. The data collection was mainly based on a survey shared with department chairs at different PE universities, supported by the public domain of available data on university web pages. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed on the data collected, where very interesting trends were observed. The results obtained from this study showed clear differences in PE education at the three different levels of BSc, MSc, and PhD of the seven different regions investigated, including North America, South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia. The study showed that most of the surveyed PE-related universities around the globe (82%) have been affected by energy expansion. While this energy expansion effect has been mainly limited to the content of the program (59%), some cases showed changes in department/program name, and in very few cases, the program has been closed. However, the percentage of major disruption (41%) is expected to grow within the coming years. The changes in PE-related programs have been mainly concentrated at the BSc level (27%). Furthermore, CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) is the most important and incorporated topic in PE-related programs at three levels, followed by hydrogen, geothermal, and AI/ML, particularly for the graduate MSc and PhD levels. A considerable percentage (39%) of the surveyed universities/departments offers energy-related certifications in minors, concentrations, professional degrees, or graduate certificates to ensure graduates are marketable and prepared for the future energy market. Regional analysis of survey results showed that energy adaptation has affected each region but to a different extent, where African universities are the least affected. Also, all universities in Australia changed the program or department name, and no energy-related minor or professional degrees are available in South America yet. The findings obtained in this study are based on the universities surveyed in each region. They could be justified by energy resource availability and affordability, as well as climate action commitment. This study is one of the first to track the current shift in the status of undergraduate and graduate petroleum engineering programs around the globe. The paper highlights the new global trends in PE education and reflects the disparity in different regions worldwide. Based on the findings of this study, several actions can be taken by different universities to better prepare their future graduates for the new energy market.

Abstract:
Historically, major adolescent and reproductive health initiatives have failed to explicitly consider the needs of married adolescents. This paper provides insight into what is being done—or not being done—to support married adolescent girls and boys, how these populations’ needs are being conceptualized, and the extent to which social context is factored into program design. Some early work with adolescent mothers (married and unmarried) is considered. The degree to which selected adolescent programs have been able to reach married girls with their activities is briefly examined. A few basic parameters of potential interventions for married adolescents are presented, including an inventory of current projects, to examine how, when, and at whom efforts typically are directed. Finally, three in-depth examples of recent, ongoing programs for married adolescent girls are presented.

Abstract:
In astrophysics, a significant role is played by observations. During astronomy classes in the absence of surveillance tools interactive programmes such as an interactive programme for space objects simulation can be used as Universe Sandbox2. The aim of this work is to implement interactive programmes for effective astronomy teaching, understanding material and increasing cognitive interest. We observe the evolution of stars while using Universe Sandbox2 during the study of the topic “Evolution of stars”. Using this programme students have an opportunity to get acquainted with the existence of stars with different masses, their differences, to observe changes in the physical characteristics of stars such as: mass, temperature, speed velocity, luminosity, radius and gravity. It will help to develop the ability to analyze, to compare, to form scientific worldview, to develop the attraction for research, to raise the interest for studying astronomy.

Full text
Abstract:
The review illustrates that DDR programming has evolved significantly in response to changing situations and emerging challenges; from traditional DDR programmes implemented in post-conflict situations where a peace accord was in place and involved defined armed groups to second generation programmes, which have emerged to address less stable peace situations and engage communities, not just combatants. More flexible, ‘third generation’ DDR programmes, wider in scope and negotiated based on the local context, have also been identified. Despite this evolution, many challenges remain in designing and implementing DDR programmes, particularly those that seek to support a community based approach to reintegration.

Cox-Ammann, Karah, Mirella Cortez, Eric Dinger, and Alexis Necarsulmer. Rocky intertidal monitoring: 2021–2022 results from Redwood National and State Parks. National Park Service, 2025. https://doi.org/10.36967/2309092.

Full text
Abstract:
This report presents survey results from 2021 and 2022 for the rocky intertidal community at 3 sites at Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) in Del Norte County, California. These sites are part of MARINe (Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network), a regional intertidal monitoring network sponsored by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), with additional funding and support from local and state governments, universities, and private organizations (see www.marine.ucsc.edu). Funding for annual monitoring in RNSP is provided by the National Park Service (NPS) Klamath Network (KLMN) through a cooperative agreement with the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC). Field sampling is accomplished through a collaborative effort between UCSC and RNSP staff. This KLMN rocky intertidal monitoring program, adapted from MARINe protocols, began in 2004 and was designed to identify and follow temporal trends in populations of the common and/or ecologically important organisms in the rocky intertidal community. Sites are sampled once a year. Data are collected from permanent plots established to monitor changes in sessile invertebrates, algae, and the ochre sea star (Pisaster ochraceus) and from permanent transects to monitor surfgrass (Phyllospadix spp.) and sea palm (Postelsia palmaeformis). These data document the annual status of the community and are archived for future use to explore broader spatial and temporal trends. All the monitored populations varied to some degree over the course of 2021–2022. Procedures for data collection, data management, data analysis, and reporting are regularly assessed and have undergone some revisions based on the evolution of the monitoring program (Ammann and Raimondi 2008; protocol revision in progress [Eric Dinger, National Park Service ecologist, pers. comm., Jan 23, 2023]). As such, this year’s report follows the new reporting content for 2017–2018 results (Amman et al. 2022). Amman et al. (2022) and this report include broader scale biodiversity data collected through the Coastal Biodiversity Survey protocol. These biodiversity data are sampled at 2 of the 3 sites every sampling period. We also report on optional MARINe protocol data collected that are not part of the KLMN rocky intertidal protocol (e.g., mussel sizes and sea palm measurements). Some of these optional data measurements may be discontinued in future years. More comprehensive trend analyses of the data are available in the program’s 5-year trend reports, the first of which included data through 2013 (Ammann et al. 2017). The second trend paper reported findings through 2018 (Lohse et al. 2023).

Full text
Abstract:
This country case study focuses on Nigeria and the specific challenge of conflict, violence, and insecurity. Using four waves of General Household Survey data covering the period 2010 to 2019, we analyse trends in poverty, food insecurity, shocks, and coping strategies among different population groups, differentiated according to where they reside in the country and the degree to which those areas are affected by violence, in particular as a result of the militant Islamist Boko Haram insurgency and conflicts between herders and farmers. The survey data is then used to model the notional performance of different potential targeting approaches across a range of targeting performance indicators, to indicate the types of choices and trade-offs entailed when selecting different targeting criteria for either routine or humanitarian social assistance programmes in the context of Nigeria. We also consider the status of enabling conditions for implementing different targeting approaches in the form of key infrastructure. We conclude with a discussion of the interrelated considerations social assistance programmes have to contend with when selecting appropriate targeting criteria.

Kinikles, Dellena, and John McCartney. Hyperbolic Hydro-mechanical Model for Seismic Compression Prediction of Unsaturated Soils in the Funicular Regime. Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center, University of California, Berkeley, CA, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.55461/yunw7668.

Full text
Abstract:
A semi-empirical elasto-plastic constitutive model with a hyperbolic stress-strain curve was developed with the goal of predicting the seismic compression of unsaturated sands in the funicular regime of the soil-water retention curve (SWRC) during undrained cyclic shearing. Using a flow rule derived from energy considerations, the evolution in plastic volumetric strain (seismic compression) was predicted from the plastic shear strains of the hysteretic hyperbolic stress-strain curve. The plastic volumetric strains are used to predict the changes in degree of saturation from phase relationships and changes in pore air pressure from Boyle’s and Henry’s laws. The degree of saturation was used to estimate changes in matric suction from the transient scanning paths of the SWRC. Changes in small-strain shear modulus estimated from changes in mean effective stress computed from the constant total stress and changes in pore air pressure, degree of saturation and matric suction, in turn affect the hyperbolic stress-strain curve’s shape and the evolution in plastic volumetric strain. The model was calibrated using experimental shear stress-strain backbone curves from drained cyclic simple shear tests and transient SWRC scanning path measurements from undrained cyclic simple shear tests. Then the model predictions were validated using experimental data from undrained cyclic simple shear tests on unsaturated sand specimens with different initial degrees of saturation in the funicular regime. While the model captured the coupled evolution in hydro-mechanical variables (pore air pressure, pore water pressure, matric suction, degree of saturation, volumetric strain, effective stress, shear modulus) well over the first 15 cycles of shearing, the predictions were less accurate after continued cyclic shearing up to 200 cycles. After large numbers of cycles of undrained shearing, a linear decreasing trend between seismic compression and initial degree of saturation was predicted from the model while a nonlinear increasing-decreasing trend was observed in the cyclic simple shear experiments. This discrepancy may be due to not considering post shearing reconsolidation in the model, calibration of model parameters, or experimental issues including a drift in the position of the hysteretic shear-stress strain curve. Nonetheless, the trend from the model is consistent with predictions from previously- developed empirical models in the funicular regime of the SWRC. The developments of the new mechanistic model developed in this study will play a key role in the future development of a holistic model for predicting the seismic compression across all regimes of the SWRC.

Barradas, Ricardo. Why has labour productivity slowed down in the era of financialisation? Insights from the post-Keynesians for the European Union countries. DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.15847/dinamiacet-iul.wp.2022.03.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper employs a panel data econometric approach in order to empirically ascertain the role of the phenomenon of financialisation in the deceleration of labour productivity in the European Union (EU) countries from 1980 to 2019. During that time, the EU countries suffered a huge structural transformation based on Reaganomics and Thatcherism and their financial systems have experienced strong liberalisation and deregulation, which have contributed to poor evolution of labour productivity and have revived fears around a new ‘secular stagnation’ in the era of financialisation. Grounded in post-Keynesian literature, the slowdown of labour productivity in the majority of developed economies in the last decades cannot be separated from the phenomenon of financialisation, which has occurred through four different channels, namely the weak economic performance, the decline in the labour income share, the increase in personal income inequality, and strengthening of the degree of financialisation. Our findings confirm that lagged labour productivity, economic performance, and labour income share have a positive impact on labour productivity in the EU countries, while personal income inequality and the degree of financialisation impact it negatively. Our findings also reveal that labour productivity in the EU countries in the last decades would have grown more if there had been a stronger economic performance, a smaller decline (or even a rise) of the labour income share, a smaller increase (or even a decrease) of personal income inequality, and a weakening of the degree of financialisation.
