Abstract:
Purpose In this paper, extending the research on the positive effects of marketing channel conflicts, this paper aims to examine how functional and dysfunctional conflicts influence channel innovation capability by triggering channel cohesion and investigate the moderating role of a distributor’s network structure. Design/methodology/approach Based on social network theory and Coser’s conflict theory, this paper develops a framework, tested using Chinese manufacturers’ data, which incorporated six key variables, namely, functional conflict, dysfunctional conflict, channel cohesion, channel innovation capability, network density and network centrality. Findings The empirical results revealed that functional conflict can arouse channel cohesion and that distributor network density and centrality positively moderates this relationship; dysfunctional conflict negatively affects channel cohesion, but distributor network density negatively moderates this relationship; channel cohesion had a mediating effect on the relationship between channel conflict and channel innovation capability. Originality/value This paper contributes to the research on channel conflict by incorporating the entire channel system’s innovation capability as a positive consequence of channel conflict and expands the channel conflict literature that adopts a network structure perspective.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to increase understanding about vertical coopetition from the perspective of interrelated conflict episodes on multiple levels. Design/methodology/approach The empirical part is based on a qualitative single case study of a coopetitive buyer-supplier relationship in the manufacturing sector. Findings Conflicts in vertical coopetition evolve from being merely functional and task-related to becoming dysfunctional and relationship-related, as the level of competition increases. The nature of conflict episodes influences the development of vertical coopetition, and therefore, the interrelatedness of conflict episodes is important to acknowledge. Practical implications Although a conflict is considered functional within a company, it may still be dysfunctional as far as the coopetitive relationship with the buyer or seller is concerned. Competition may trigger conflicts related to protecting own technology and knowledge, which may lead to termination of the cooperation, therefore coopetition should be managed in a way that balance sharing and protecting important knowledge to get advantages of coopetition. Originality/value The findings enhance prior research on vertical coopetition by offering new perspectives on causes of conflicts, their management, outcomes and types. The value of taking a multilevel approach lies in the ability to show how conflicts occur and influence other conflicts through the interrelatedness of conflict elements on different levels.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to study the positive impact of functional conflict and conflict management in improving supplier–reseller relationship performance in multi-channel setting (reseller together with supplier’s sales reps). The authors develop four hypotheses, including direct and mediated effects, about conflict management, conflict and the impact on channel performance. Design/methodology/approach The authors’ sample of suppliers in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry in Brazil consists of an interesting setting of multi-channel distribution, as suppliers deal with sales reps in combination with reseller channels to offer products to customers. The sample is representative of the industry, including more than 60 per cent of the ICT suppliers. The model was tested with partial least squares in the context of ICT industry in Brazil. Findings The empirical test shows that although an increase in functional conflict improves channel performance (direct effect), an excessive increase may amplify the dysfunctional conflict, thereby damaging channel performance (indirect effect). The negative interplay between the two natures of conflicts is counterbalanced with conflict management. Results show that conflict management improves channel performance by decreasing the harmful effects of dysfunctional conflict. This paper contributes to the theory by deepening our understanding of conflict, a critical challenge underlying supplier–reseller relationships in marketing channels. For managers, this research clarifies the importance of considering and managing conflict of different nature in the context of multi-marketing channels. Originality/value The contribution of the authors’ study is twofold. First, they develop an integrative mediating model with key constructs of multi-channels’ conflict and channel performance. They incorporate the causal relationships between functional and dysfunctional conflict, conflict management and channel performance into a single conceptual framework. This integrative mediating model to the best of their knowledge has not been developed before. Second, they provide managers with a broad understanding of conflict management implications to supplier’s multi-channel strategy, and how functional conflict can actually be beneficial for channel performance.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to test the impact of manifest conflict on performance outcomes. In particular, this paper aims to examine the moderating effect of the supplier’s customer orientation (CO) as perceived by the buyer on the conflict-performance outcomes relationships in international channel relationships. Design/methodology/approach A survey of 162 Australian importers was conducted to elucidate the associations among manifest conflict, CO and performance outcomes. Findings Manifest conflict was found to be negatively related to the importer’s evaluation of the exporter’s overall performance, which is consistent with previous work. However, CO was found to moderate the negative direct effect of manifest conflict on two outcome measures, “satisfaction with business outcomes” and the “evaluation of the exporter’s overall performance”. Moreover, it actually changed the effect from dysfunctional to functional for “evaluation of the exporter’s overall performance”. That is, CO changes the nature of the manifest conflict–outcome relationship by turning it from negative to positive. Research limitations/implications This research helps answer the appeal for research on the conditions in which conflict causes dysfunctional and functional outcomes. From a practical standpoint, providing the importer views the exporter as being customer-oriented, conflict should not be avoided if it stems from disagreements that arise due to the exporter acting in the best interests of the importer. The power of CO in affecting the functionality of outcomes resulting from conflict should be highlighted. Originality/value Conflict is a fact of life in channel relationships, but little is known about its functional and dysfunctional effects (Frazier, 1999; Skarmeas, 2006). The empirical evidence largely points to conflict being dysfunctional; however, research also indicates that context can play an important role in moderating the functionality of conflict. In this paper the authors ask: what role does CO play as a determinant of the functionality of manifest conflict in channel relationships? They argue that the exporter’s CO changes the context in which the importer and the exporter interact and, thereby, changes the way in which the importer interprets the supplier’s actions.

Conflict is something that can not be separated in the process of management of the company. Conflict that managed well will be able to make a positive contribution to the business activities and the achievement of corporate goals. This study used a qualitative research methodology with a case study approach. The selection of a qualitative methodology based on the problem formulation used in this studyThe results of this study indicate that the conflicts that happened in management Central Market Puspa Agro caused by internal and external factor. Internal factor is derived from obscurity powers, functions and roles, monitoring and evaluation weakness, slowness of responds to the problems, the competence of individual differences, the target and task interdependence. External factors consist of the presence of government policies and industry demands. The effect of conflicts are functional and dysfunctional. Conflicts levels are low, optimal and high.Conflict management is applied by stimulation, reduction of conflict and conflict resolution methods. Conflict stimulation methods include the application of the system of reward and punishment and the different treatment of habit . Conflict reduction methods include the provision of a forum for dialogue, joint activities and creating new challenges. Conflict resolution methods include the expansion of resources, compromise, change the variable structure of the company, avoiding and otorative command.

Abstract:
The purpose of this qualitative intrinsic interpretive case study, which formed part of a larger Master in Education Study, is to report on the perceptions of teachers in three primary schools regarding the consequences of conflict among educators. Fifty nine educators, including principals, participated in this study that utilised an open-ended questionnaire, semi-structured interviews and focus-group interviews. The rationale for this study was to ascertain what the perceived consequences of conflict are, in order that these schools as well as the district office of the Department of Basic Education could have a sense of what the perceived consequences are as portrayed by the participants. Hence, participants were able to tell their stories through using text and voice. The findings suggest that the consequences of conflict can be categorised as functional (positive) and dysfunctional (negative) outcomes, each with subsidiary themes. Overall, conflict was experienced as a negative force in general, that is perceived as causing defiant attitudes, intolerance, poor cooperation and teamwork, poor relationships, division of unity, poor morale and work ethic, has a negative impact on wellness, leads to absenteeism and ultimately adversely impact on the learners’ learning. On the other hand the positive consequences were improved relationships among staff, greater understanding, improved attitudes, positive change and even personal growth.

AbstractAs educational organizations, schools are vulnerable to experiencing conflict. Notwithstanding the views of many scholars in the existence of functional conflict in a formal organization like school setting, proper management of conflict is required to be established by school administrators in order to ensure the smooth running of the school. The aim of this study was to explore the understanding of sources of conflict and conflict management among Islamic school administrators with the aim of formulating practical and effective strategies in conflict management within the school setting. The researchers used the qualitative case study method to explore the strategies adopted by three Islamic school administrators in handling conflict. The findings show that individual differences, commodification of education, school system and policy, human resource issues and practices, and attitude were the main factors giving rise to school conflict, while depression was identified as its resulting effect. The school needs to build trust, respect, stability, and teamwork into its atmosphere, culture and practices in order to prevent misunderstanding and conflict within its community.Keywords: Conflict management, functional conflict, dysfunctional conflict, Muslim administrators, Islamic schools, Islamic administration

Abstract:
An important challenge facing humanity today is to determine how to resolve intractable conflicts. Intractable conflicts are intensely violent conflicts that are difficult to resolve and last at least one generation. The purpose of this study was to explore the themes leaders used in resolving intractable conflicts by writing peace agreements, which achieved at least a ninety percent implementation rating by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame. The research questions focused on the distribution of societal themes defined by Bar-Tal as present within societies experiencing an intractable conflict. This study used a multicase study approach and a directed content analysis of the narratives, chosen because the study began with an existing concept as a guide for determining initial codes. A categorization matrix was developed based on the existing concept and expanded to include one new category not initially included. The texts were coded by hand and the data were interpreted to reveal the findings, which show that the distribution of themes within narratives of the peace accords contained themes supported by Bar-Tal's research as being functional in transitioning a society out of conflict and absent themes found as being dysfunctional in helping societies make this transition. Second, interpretation of the findings confirmed that knowledge found in transformational leadership literature extends knowledge of narratives of peace accords. A new model of peacemaking emerged from these findings entitled the peace accords transformational leadership model. If leaders understood how to craft narratives of peace, then positive social change would result from a quicker end to violent conflicts and lasting peace for the societies suffering within them.

Abstract:
South African organizations experienced more conflict in the past ten years because of all the changes in the management of labour relations. Employees at lower, middle and upper management levels within organizations are not well informed about the different types of conflict, the functionality and dysfunctionality of conflict, how conflict takes place within the different job-levels and how to manage and resolve it. Dysfunctional conflict can be destructive and it can affect the productivity of the organization. Because of the lack of knowledge regarding conflict within the steel organization and the necessity for it to be handled correctly, it was decided to seize the opportunity to contribute to the existing knowledge of conflict. Objectives of the study The major objectives of this study are as follows: To determine how literature conceptualizes conflict dynamics by examining theory, industrial sociology, organizational behaviour and general management. To determine the following aspects by means of an empirical study: - What the main reasons are for conflict within the steel organization. - How the handling of conflict differs among the middle and lower job levels within the organization. Research study and methodology The research study is divided into a theoretical and an empirical framework. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 outline the theoretical basis. Various aspects of conflict and handling or managing it are discussed in detail. The study employs the conflict theories of Ralph Dahrendorf and Karl Marx as points of departure, as found in chapter 2, in an attempt to provide a framework for the problem statement and to attempt the attainment of the set of objectives. This chapter discusses conflict and analyzes it as a social interaction characterized by force, strife and animosity. It also offers and analysis of Dahrendorf s and Marx's theories to determine their suitability to the study. Chapter 3 discusses conflict within a business context with reference to functional and dysfunctional conflict. different approaches to conflict. types of conflict, different reactions to conflict as well as its different stages. Chapter 4 addresses the course, handling and management of conflict by analyzing the conflict process while it keeps the theories of Marx and Dahrendorf in mind. Chapter 5 analyzes and describes the data and results found by means of empirical research according to specific statistical methods. The empirical study was conducted among the employees of a steel company. A standardised questionnaire and personal interviews were used. Major findings Chapter 6 consists of analysed information about the assembled data. The major findings of the study support the set of research objectives and prove all of them. Major findings include the following: Cooperation, discipline and communication are problem areas within the steel organization. A large number of employees show dissatisfaction about the nature and extent of their work. Some of the employees misuse their authority and this is a major cause of conflict. A total of 95% of the population show that they would like further training in the dynamics of conflict management. Half of the population show that they are unaware of any policies and procedures of conflict management in the steel company. Conclusion In conclusion as found in chapter 6 the study makes a number of recommendations centring on the training of employees to handle conflict and policy-making about conflict-handling and management.

Abstract:
Det gemensamma intresset för konflikter grundade idén att studera väl ansedda ledares perspektiv på arbetsplatskonflikter och hur dessa ledare löser konflikter konstruktivt. I grunden finns en undran om väl ansedda ledare har förmågor som gör att de löser konflikter mer konstruktivt. Konflikter utgör en stor del av en ledares arbetstid. Konflikter kan förmodligen inte undvikas men hur konflikter hanteras är avgörande för att en organisation och dess anställda skall mogna och utvecklas. Det har utövats forskning inom konflikthantering utifrån ett ledarskapsperspektiv men de studierna har haft en kvantitativ ansats. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur väl ansedda chefer ser på arbetsplatskonflikter och hur dessa chefer hanterar konflikter. Ett delsyfte är att erhålla kunskap om vilka metoder ansedda ledare använder i konflikthantering. För att besvara syftet har följande frågeställningar använts: Vilka typer av arbetsplatskonflikter uppstår i en organisation? Vad är avgörande om konflikter blir konstruktiva eller destruktiva? Vad har ledarskapet för inverkan på konflikthantering och hur ska ledaren ta sig an konflikter? Vilka förmågor och egenskaper har ledare som hanterar konflikter effektivt? Studien grundar sig på en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer som insamlingsmetod. Det införskaffade materialet kodades och tematiserades. Resultaten analyserades med hjälp av teoriramen. Slutligen användes Rahims (2002) teori om conflict management i diskussion då det i resultatet framkom stöd för modellen, dock med en utveckling vilket presenteras i slutsatsen. I studiens analys framkom att ledare som hanterar konflikter konstruktivt behärskar tre huvudområden. Dessa förmågor är människoorienterad, uppgiftsorienterad och lärande- och kulturorienterad. Väl ansedda ledare manövrerar emellan dessa förmågor beroende på situation. I studiens resultat framkom också att undvikande och dominant ledarskapsbeteende skapar barriärer i konflikthantering.
The authors' joint commitment conflicts produced the idea to study highly-regarded leaders' perspective on workplace conflicts and their constructive resolution. Basically there was a curiosity about how such leaders resolve conflicts so effectively. Workplace conflicts are a major part of a leader´s time at work. While probably unavoidable, how conflicts are handled is crucial for the growth and development of an organization and its employees. There has been practical conflict management research from a leadership perspective, but the studies have had a quantitative focus. This study aims to examine the various ways respected managers address and resolve workplace conflicts. The study seeks to answer the following questions: What kinds of workplace conflict exist in an organization? What are the critical factors in conflicts? How are conflicts viewed constructive/destructive? What is a leader's role when managing/resolving workplace conflict? What abilities and qualities have leaders who manage conflict effectively? The study is based on a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews. The material was thematic and coded. Results were analysed using the theoretical framework. The empirical data was analysed using Rahims (2002) theory of conflict management. Building on the results, the model which has been developed will be presented at the study’s conclusion. The study's analysis reveals that leaders who deal with conflicts constructively mastered the three main areas of concern, depending on the situation. These are people-oriented, task-oriented, and learning- and culture-oriented. The study's results also revealed that evasive and/or dominant leadership in particular creates barrier store solving conflict.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Vascular endothelium forms the first line of defence against harmful stimuli in the circulation. Endothelial dysfunction is a valuable predictor of cardiovascular disease and therapies aimed at improving endothelial function are therefore needed. The anti-dyslipidaemic agents, simvastatin and fenofibrate, are known for their beneficial effects on lipid parameters, however additional pleiotropic effects have been shown for both. These include improved endothelial function due to increased levels of nitric oxide (NO), as well as anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. NO is produced by the enzyme, nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which exists in the endothelial NOS (eNOS), inducible NOS (iNOS) and neuronal NOS (nNOS) isoforms. Most studies investigating the endothelial effects of simvastatin and fenofibrate are performed on macrovascular-derived endothelial cells, and there is a lack of data on endothelial cells (ECs) from the microcirculation, particularly the cardiac microvessels. This dissertation aimed to investigate and elucidate mechanisms underlying the pleiotropic effects of simvastatin and fenofibrate on ECs and vascular tissue using in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo experimental models. In vitro investigations included flow cytometry-based intracellular measurements of NO, as well as different types of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell viability parameters. Signalling pathways involved with these changes were measured by western blot analyses of the expression and phosphorylation of critical proteins involved in vascular function. Results on cardiac microvascular ECs (CMECs) demonstrated that fenofibrate (50 μM) exerted a potent, increasing effect on NO production after short periods (1 and 4 hour treatments), but after 24 hours the effects were less robust. Exhaustive investigations suggested that the NOincreasing effects of fenofibrate in baseline CMECs were NOS-independent, a novel finding as far as we are aware. Fenofibrate’s ability to protect ECs against injury was demonstrated when CMECs incubated with the pro-inflammatory cytokine, TNF-α, were pre-treated with fenofibrate, resulting in increased NO and improved cell viability parameters. Simvastatin (1 μM) increased NO to a lesser extent in baseline CMECs, and resulted in increased apoptosis and necrosis. Following the cell studies, their effects on vascular reactivity was measured by aortic ring isometric tension studies. The effects of acutely administered fenofibrate to pre-contracted aortic rings were investigated, and results showed a modest, but significant NOS-dependent vasodilatory response. Next, an in vivo model of Wistar rats treated with simvastatin (0.5 mg/kg/day) and fenofibrate (100 mg/kg/day) for 6 weeks was established. Data showed that neither drug was able to improve aortic ring contraction and dilation above baseline values. Both drug treatments increased iNOS expression, which is usually associated with harmful actions. However, in our hands, increased iNOS expression was associated with a beneficial anticontractile response in the simvastatin-treated animals. Fenofibrate treatment increased NO bioavailability in the blood of these animals. In conclusion, fenofibrate showed endothelio-protective pleiotropic effects with regards to NO production after short treatment periods in CMECs. These effects were mediated via a NOSindependent mechanism, a novel finding. Fenofibrate pre-treatment was also protective against the harmful effects of TNF-α. Simvastatin did not show pronounced pleiotropic effects in vitro or in vivo on endothelial function.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die vaskulêre endoteellaag is die eerste linie van verdediging teen skadelike stimuli in die bloedsirkulasie. Endoteeldisfunksie is ‘n waardevolle voorspeller van kardiovaskulêre siektes en enige terapeutiese behandeling wat kan bydra tot verbeterde endoteelfunksie is belangrik. Simvastatien en fenofibraat word as anti-dislipidemiese middels voorgeskryf en hoewel hulle primêr gebruik word om cholesterolvlakke te verbeter, toon hulle ook pleiotropiese (cholesterolonafhanklike) eienskappe. Dit sluit in bevordering van endoteelfunksie (via verhoogde stikstofoksied (NO) produksie), asook anti-oksidant en anti-inflammatoriese effekte. NO word vervaardig deur die ensiem, stikstofoksiedsintase (NOS) wat voorkom in drie isovorme: endoteelafgeleide NOS (eNOS), induseerbare NOS (iNOS) en neuronale NOS (nNOS). Die meerderheid studies wat pleiotropiese effekte van simvastatien en fenofibraat ondersoek, gebruik endoteelselle van makrovaskulêre bloedvate, wat beteken daar is ‘n tekort aan data aangaande endoteelselle vanaf mikrovaskulêre vate, veral kardiale mikrovaskulêre vate (CMECs). Hierdie proefskrif het dit ten doel gehad om meganismes betrokke by die pleiotropiese effekte van simvastatien en fenofibraat te ondersoek deur van in vitro, ex vivo en in vivo modelle gebruik te maak. Die in vitro ondersoeke het gefokus op vloeisitometrie-gebaseerde metings van intrasellulêre NO, reaktiewe suurstof-radikale (ROS) en sellewensvatbaarheid. Seintransduksie paaie betrokke by hierdie veranderinge was bepaal deur proteienuitdrukking en -fosforilasie vlakke te meet van belangrike proteïene, met behulp van die Western-blot tegniek. Resultate van die CMEC eksperimente het getoon dat fenofibraat (50 μM) ‘n kragtige en verhogende effek op NO produksie uitgeoefen het na kort behandelingstye (1 en 4 ure), maar na 24 uur was hierdie effek minder uitgesproke. Uitvoerige ondersoeke het getoon dat fenofibraat se basislyn effekte op CMECs deur NOS-onafhanklike meganismes teweeggebring is, en sover ons kennis strek, is dit ‘n nuwe bevinding. Fenofibraat se endoteel-beskermende effekte kon ook aangetoon word deur CMECs vir een uur te behandel voor byvoeging van die pro-inflammatories sitokien, tumor nekrose faktor alpha (TNF-α), wat gelei het tot verhoogde NO vlakke en verbeterde seloorlewing. Simvastatien (1 μM) het tot ‘n mindere mate NO produksie verhoog in CMECs, tesame met pro-apoptotiese en -nekrotiese effekte. Vervolgens was die effekte op vaskulêre reaktiwiteit geëvalueer d.m.v. isometriese spanningsondersoeke. Akute effekte van fenofibraat is gemeet deur byvoeging daarvan tot ‘n vooraf saamgetrekte aorta-ring, wat tot matige, maar beduidende NOS-afhanklike verslapping gelei het. Hierna is ‘n in vivo model opgestel deur Wistar rotte vir ses weke met 0.5 mg/kg/dag simvastatien of 100 mg/kg/dag fenofibraat te behandel. Resultate toon dat geen van die behandelings basislyn kontraksie of verslapping van aorta ringe kon verbeter nie. Beide behandelings het tot verhoogde iNOS uitdrukking gelei, wat gewoonlik met nadelige effekte geassosieer word, maar in ons studies was dit met voordelige, anti-kontraktiele effekte in aortaringe van simvastatien-behandelde rotte geassosieer. Fenofibraat behandeling het die NObiobeskikbaarheid in die rotte se bloed verhoog. Ten slotte, fenofibraat het met endoteel-beskermende, pleiotropiese effekte op endoteelselle gepaard gegaan, veral t.o.v. NO-produksie na akute middeltoediening in die CMECs. Die meganisme was ‘n NOS-onafkanklike proses, wat ‘n nuwe bevinding is. Fenofibraat prebehandeling het teen die skadelike effekte van TNF-α beskerm. Geen uitgesproke pleiotropiese effekte is in vitro of in vivo gevind met simvastatien behandeling nie.

Abstract:
Thesis (MPA.) -University of Limpopo, 2010
The focus of the study was on the contribution of media exposure towards the functionality of dysfunctional schools in Limpopo Province: Capricorn District. The study was qualitative in nature and concentrated on the schools in Capricorn District that were affected by the media industry. Seven schools were selected as follows: one from Mankweng Circuit, two from Nokotlou Circuit, One from Sepitsi Circuit, One from Seshego Circuit, One from Pietersburg Circuit and one from Mogodumo Circuit. According to the research findings, the majority of the schools which were exposed by the media improved their functions. A positive impact of media exposure has also been identified through research findings in terms of the Department of Education’s involvement in the schools which were affected by the media.

Abstract:
Early life stress (ELS) affects the developing brain and impacts capacity for self-regulation and risk for psychopathology. The high spatial resolution of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) confers an advantage for studying specific neural regions posited to link ELS with subsequent functioning. The first chapter in this dissertation reviews the literature establishing the feasibility and utility of fMRI research with infants and young children. This chapter examines methodological issues and outlines the potential for this technique to make unique contributions to understanding how ELS influences brain development. The next two chapters present results from a study that employed a functional activation paradigm and resting state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI) to examine associations between a common source of ELS, non-physical interparental conflict, and neural functioning during infancy. The functional activation paradigm focused on emotional tone of voice as a stimulus relevant to interparental conflict, which is likely salient to infants. Higher levels of interparental conflict (as reported by mothers) were associated with infants (6 to 12 months of age) showing greater reactivity to very angry versus neutral tone of voice in neural regions associated with processing and regulation of stress and emotion (hypothalamus and rostral anterior cingulate cortex). The rs-fcMRI analysis examined coordinated neural functioning in the absence of stimuli, focusing on the amygdala as a key region for understanding the impact of ELS and the posterior cingulate cortex as part of a group of regions that show higher levels of activity in the absence of stimuli (the default network). The results replicate previous work characterizing the default network in infants and provide novel evidence for the functional connectivity of the amydgala and amygdala subregions during infancy. Interparental conflict was associated with variation in the connectivity of both regions. Thus levels of interparental conflict were associated with neural reactivity to a stressor-relevant stimulus and with patterns of coordinated neural functioning in the absence of such stimuli. These results provide support for the utility of using fMRI with infants to examine early emerging associations between common forms of ELS and brain functioning. This dissertation includes previously published and co-authored material.
