Abstract:
The present paper deals with an international comparison of labour productivity, as well as with total factor productivity comparison made by different international organisations, e.g. the OECD. These kinds of comparisons do not contain data regarding transition countries in the 20th century. Long-term comparisons yield an analysis of the several factors influencing productivity trends, among which human factors have an increasing role. The second part of the paper gives several kinds of information about the tendencies of the Hungarian labour productivity on a national and branch level. The most important development can be seen in the engineering industry. A short part of the paper illustrates the development of total factor productivity in Hungary between 1992 and 1997.

Abstract:
Comparison of levels of development among countries is usually done by reducing values in national currencies with a common denominator, using the official exchange rate. Because of its unreality, the values calculated in this way do not illustrate real relations between compared countries. That brings about the launching of the UN International Comparison Project (latter Programme) with two fold aims: developing a method for international comparison of real domestic product which could be applied to a number of very heterogeneous countries, and the comparison of growing number of very different countries. Until now six phases of comparisons are finished. Taking into consideration problems that appeared in the realization of the VI ICP phase as well as quality improvement proposals, a decision has been made to launch a new, global round for 2003-2006. Comparison will cover 150 countries (the widest coverage ever). This will give global character to the comparison, which was the end cause of the ICP.

Full text
Abstract:
The title of this dissertation is "The development of concept of arbitrability - an international comparison". In this dissertation I will compare the approach towards arbitrability in Germany, the United States of America and South Africa and how it developed until today. I will further give a brief overview of arbitrability in Europe and Africa. I will start by giving a brief introduction of arbitration and the definitions of objective and subjective arbitrability. In this dissertation I will only compare the development of objective arbitration. For every country I will first discuss the respective provision in the arbitration act and then discuss certain subject matters, which need further considerations. Arbitrability of some subject matters developed in a particular way either in legislation or jurisprudence, which need further explanation and some are handled in a separate statute. The term objective arbitrability describes the capacity of a subject matter to be resolves in arbitration. In former times arbitration was not seen as an appropriate alternative to jurisdiction and often prohibited. This changed over the past decades, which I will outline. In most countries in Europe and in the United States are close to no boundaries of arbitration anymore. African countries still have more restrictions, but also take a more liberal stand. Particular attention is amongst others brought to the following subject matters: intellectual property, antitrust, insolvency, family matters, labour law and consumer protection. In the United States and in South Africa subject matters which concerned public policy or involved public interests, such as antitrust, were restricted from arbitration for longer. This changed when legislators and jurisdiction gained trust in arbitral tribunals and statues and sets of rules for the conduction of arbitration were established. I will conclude that the general development to a greater scope of arbitrability is a welcomed progression. In the conclusion I will discuss the arbitrability of disputes involving public authority, family disputes and consumer and employers. In these areas arbitrability still needs further development.

Paddison, Brendan. "Governance and community advocacy in tourism development : an international comparison." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2014. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/10099/.

Full text
Abstract:
Different types of governance structures exist and operate in tourism, with these approaches always changing as they develop into more suitable or effective forms by adjusting to specific contexts and situations. Consequently, collaboration and partnerships have become a key element of destination management, with an increased recognition of the range of stakeholders who have an interest in tourism planning and development. Ideally, these partnership arrangements would ensure relevant stakeholders from government, business and voluntary sectors are engaged in decision making. However, difficulty in accommodating a wide variety of interests within collaborative governance structures is apparent, often culminating in conflict and power imbalances between stakeholder groups. The structures and representation mechanisms in place appear to be crucial in enabling a balanced perspective and effective representation of the destination community. Therefore, collaborative approaches need to be examined within broader notions of governance, with an examination of the appropriate role of government and the changing relationships and expectations between government and communities. The purpose of this study was to analyse and interpret governance approaches in tourism from an international perspective, addressing the need to understand the relevant structures, processes and the implications for stakeholder representation in the different approaches of governance. This study employed a qualitative comparative case study methodology, with case studies explored from York (United Kingdom) and Seville (Spain), involving a total of 42 interviews with key informants. Two approaches to tourism governance were examined and were found to differ in their representation and participation of stakeholders. The research identified a framework for stakeholder collaboration centred on the engagement of networks and associations within a destination governance approach. Finally, and as a consequence of the analysis, a framework for evaluating tourism governance structures is outlined and contributes both a method and a perspective that is available to evaluate governance arrangements in other tourist destinations.

Full text
Abstract:
Biochar represents a new approach to fight global warming through its ability to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by carbon fixation. It has been proven to be efficient in increasing harvest through the effects of increasing WHC, pH level and the uptake of nutrients. Sweden has 12 biochar production facilities and therefore represents an interesting biochar developer. In this report, Different field studies on the use of biochar were compared both in Sweden and internationally. The field studies were identified based on crop type, soil type, climate, feedstock and pyrolysis method. Stockholm Stad was even observed as a consumer of biochar that is supplied by Stockholm Exergi in Sweden. Varying results have been observed on effects of biochar, mainly due to the different conditions in which it is applied. Due to the variable effects of biochar on the observed factors, it is recommended for the capability to customise the biochar by choosing the specific pyrolysis method and the type of feedstock. To have a better understanding and ability to customise biochar more extensive information is needed on biochar use and application in different areas. Biochar seems to respond most effectively to nutrient poor soils in both agriculture and forestry. Tropical and boreal forest seem to benefit the most from biochar application compared to temperate zones.<br>Biokol fungerar som en kolsänka och är en metod att bekämpa klimatförändringar. Det har även visat sig vara effektiv inom jordbruk då den ökar skörden genom att förbättra jordens vatten hållfasthet,näringsupptag samt öka pH. Sverige är ledande i biokol med 12 producerande faciliteter och därmed incitament att utveckla biokol. I rapporten jämförs olika fältstudier i Sverige och internationellt. Fältstudierna var baserade på grödan, jordtyp, klimat, råmaterialet och pyrolys metoden. Varierande resultat har observerats kring biocools användning och detta beror på de olika faktorerna där biokol applicerats. Därmed rekommenderas det att biokol skräddarsys genom bland annat specifik pyrolys metod och råmaterial. Mer omfattande information kring biokol använding i olika området krävs för att kunna skräddarsy biokol. Biokol verkar dock mest effektiv inom näringsfattiga områden både inom jordbruk och skog,specifikt boreala och tropiska zoner.

Full text
Abstract:
The global financial and food crisis of 2007 and 2008 was followed by a surge in foreign interest and investment in African agriculture. Renewed global interest in African agriculture was also accompanied by an increase in international efforts to influence domestic agricultural policies, including in Ghana. In the context of an increasingly globalised food regime and integrated commodity markets, this thesis answers the question: to what extent do international actors impact domestic agricultural policies in Ghana? Policy 'impact' is understood as the marked influence that international actors have on policy goals and the resources, institutions, and knowledge used for achieving them. This thesis compares case studies of cocoa and rice policy over two different periods in Ghana's recent history (1983-1995 and 2003-2012) to understand how international actors use their power and resources to impact agricultural policies. The comparison of cocoa and rice policy is used to address two gaps in existing literature by examining how the impact of international actors relates to: 1) the political economy for a specific crop; and 2) the interaction between actors at international, national and local levels. Findings from the comparative analysis are then used to test existing theories for how international actors influence government policy in Africa more generally. In particular, findings provide new insights into how the impact of international actors on African agricultural policies is strongly associated with the effect of policy decisions on the longer-term political economy for a particular crop.

Abstract:
The paper examines significance of institutional environment for agricultural production. It adds to the extensive research of agricultural production functions. First, it reviews relevant theory of institutional economics that explains how institutions contribute to productivity in general, especially if interpreted as economic freedom. Then, a model of agricultural production is presented, which explains aggregate agricultural production using various inputs, as well as variables representing institutional environment. Results concerning elasticities of material inputs (land, labor, capital) are consistent with previous research. The paper proves some significance of institutional variables. Finally, it suggests some directions for further research.

Abstract:
The goal of improving student achievement is of paramount interest to all public schools. The focus of this research was to determine the difference between inquiry based teaching strategies and student achievement. Additionally, the researcher investigated the origin of inquiry based teaching knowledge and International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) affiliation. IBPYP affiliation was studied due to the nature of the IBPYP as an inquiry based philosophy of teaching. The McGill Strategic Demands of Inquiry Questionnaire (MSDIQ) was used to determine teacher beliefs of inquiry based teaching strategies. Student achievement was measured using Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test 2.0 (FCAT 2.0) levels. Results from the MSDIQ indicated strong beliefs among participants of inquiry based teaching indicators within three domains: planning, enactment, and reflection. The researcher recommended further research into the origin of inquiry based teaching strategies knowledge to determine accurate professional development from districts that require inquiry based teaching strategies in evaluation systems. In addition, further research was recommended to determine the relationship between IBPYP affiliation and student achievement.<br>Ed.D.<br>Doctorate<br>Teaching, Learning and Leadership<br>Education and Human Performance<br>Educational Leadership; Executive Track

Full text
Abstract:
Magister Legum - LLM<br>This research acknowledges that although literature abounds on development assistance in general, not much has been published yet on Cameroon specifically. Therefore, this mini-thesis seeks to contribute to fill this gap. Moreover, it aims to examine both development assistance legislative frameworks in Cameroon and above all to compare them in order to find out which development assistance approach is the most aligned in terms of international obligations relative to human rights and economic development. The IMF-World Bank’s Comprehensive Approach to debt Reduction, (the HIPC Initiative), and China’s White Paper on Foreign Aid have been specifically chosen for this research for two main reasons: first, these two international instruments are significantly impacting upon and reshaping Cameroon’s political, social and economic development architecture since Cameroon economic crisis exists till today; and secondly, to enlighten the public, academicians, policy makers, on development assistance in Cameroon given that legal sources on the topic exist but mostly unpublished and inaccessible Therefore this research will be restricted to the period from Cameroon’s economic crisis in 1980 up to 2014. Given the limited availability of primary legal sources at both the international and domestic levels, this research will primarily look at HIPC Initiative Agreement and the Chinese White Paper on Foreign Aid. Moreover, this study will be conducted in form of the available HIPC documents and reports on Cameroon regularly published by the staff of IMF and the World Bank and specifically the HIPC Decision Point Document and the HIPC Completion Point Document of Cameroon. In addition, this study will rely on primary legal sources relative to states international obligations regarding human rights and economic cooperation such as, the UDHR (10 December 1948), the ICCPR (16 December 1966), the ICESCR (16 December 1966) and the Declaration on the Right to Development (4 December 1986). In the case of China’s development assistance approach, given that neither China nor Cameroon release specific bilateral treaties or agreements related to their development co-operation and the fact that documents and publications relative to Cameroon’s development assistance are mostly unpublished and inaccessible, this study will principally focus on the Chinese White Paper on Foreign Aid. It will also look, amongst others, at the Beijing Declaration of the FOCAC (2004), the White Paper on China-Africa Economic and Trade Co-operation (August 2013). Moreover this research will be complemented through secondary sources such as books, journals articles, report, working papers, press reviews, drafts, deliberation of international conferences and international summits, and internet sources

Abstract:
The regulation of hedge funds has been at the centre of a global policy debate for much of the past decade. Several factors feature in this debate including the magnitude of current global investments in hedge funds and the potential of hedge funds to both generate wealth and destabilise financial markets. The first part of the thesis describes the nature of hedge funds and locates the work in relation to four elements in existing theory including regulatory competition theory, the concept of differential mobility as identified by Musgrave, Kane’s concept of the regulatory dialectic between regulators and regulatees, and the concept of unique sets of trust and confidence factors that individual jurisdictions convey to the market. It also identifies a series of questions that de-limit the scope of the present work. These include whether there is evidence that regulatory competition occurs in the context of the provision of domicile for hedge funds, what are the factors which account for the current global distribution of hedge fund domicile, what latitude for regulatory competition is available to jurisdictions competing to provide the domicile for hedge funds, how is such latitude shaped by factors intrinsic and extrinsic to the competing jurisdictions, and why do the more powerful onshore jurisdictions competing to provide the domicile for hedge funds not shut down their smaller and weaker competitors? The second part of the thesis examines the regulatory environment for hedge funds in three so-called offshore jurisdictions, specifically the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands, as well as two onshore jurisdictions, specifically the United Kingdom and the United States. The final section presents a series of conclusions and their implications for both regulatory competition theory and policy.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur le processus de défaillance des entreprises en Tunisie. L’objectif est d’étudier le sujet d’un point de vue, à la fois, macroéconomique, microéconomique et juridique. Le travail est précédé d’une revue de la littérature axée sur les principaux intervenants dans le processus de faillite : les débiteurs, les créanciers et la législation en matière de faillite.La première partie propose une synthèse des résultats de nombreux travaux de recherche se rapportant, d’une part, aux différentes stratégies fixées par les débiteurs et les créanciers en vue de protéger leurs propres intérêts et d’autre part, à l’efficacité des procédures collectives dans la prévention des éventuelles utilisations opportunistes de la loi. Dans un second temps, la thèse traite le sujet d’un point de vue macroéconomique en cherchant à déterminer l’effet des fluctuations macroéconomiques sur le taux de défaillance en Tunisie sur la période allant de 1997 à 2010. Des variables spécifiques au cas tunisien et exprimant au mieux l’importance des secteurs de l’industrie et du tourisme dans l’économie tunisienne ont été considérées dans le modèle en plus des variables communément utilisées dans la littérature et qui ont prouvé leur rôle relativement significatif dans l’explication des taux de défaillance.La troisième partie de la thèse se concentre sur le niveau d’efficacité des procédures collectives tunisiennes dans la résolution du problème de défaut de paiement. Son efficacité est étudiée de point de vue : i) création de valeur et ce en termes de recouvrement total des créanciers à travers la maximisation de la valeur de l’entreprise défaillante, et ii) recouvrement des créanciers sécurisés. L’intérêt particulier porté sur la classe des créanciers sécurisés (notamment les banques) est justifié par l’importance du secteur bancaire dans le financement des entreprises en Tunisie et par conséquent dans le développement de l’économie tunisienne.La dernière partie de la thèse propose une analyse approfondie de la loi de faillite tunisienne dans le cadre d’une étude comparative avec 18 autres pays européens et non européens.A travers une approche « Law and Finance », dix indices juridiques ont été construits pour « mesurer » dix fonctions de Droit de faillite. Ensuite, des analyses univariée et multivariée ont été menées pour dégager les points de similarité ou de disparité entre les différentes lois de faillite<br>This thesis focuses on the Tunisian bankruptcy process. The objective is to treat the subject from a macroeconomic, microeconomic and legal point of view. The work is preceded by a literature review focused on the main actors in the bankruptcy process: debtors, creditors and bankruptcy law. The first part provides a summary of many research results relating on the one hand, to the different strategies set by debtors and creditors to protect their own interests and on the other hand to the effectiveness of the procedures in preventing any opportunistic uses of the law. In the second part, we seek to determine the effect of macroeconomic fluctuations on the failure rate of businesses in Tunisia over the period 1997-2010. The selected variables are those that have been frequently used in the literature and that showed their significant impact onto the rate of corporate failure. Other original variables, more specific to the Tunisian case were considered to account for the importance of industry and tourism sectors in the Tunisian economy. The third part of this thesis focuses on the efficiency of bankruptcy procedures in Tunisia, a country characterized by the importance of its banking sector. We gathered original and unique information on Tunisian firms that went bankrupt between 1995-2009. We find that the Tunisian reorganization procedures are able to generate substantial recoveries, but those are mainly captured by the preferential claims (employees and public claims). This is coherent with the authorities’ willingness to improve social protection, but this raises concerns as the Tunisian firms are mainly financed by bankers. Our analysis shows that the secured creditors are poorly protected under bankruptcy: they rank almost last in the priority order of repayment, and their recovery rate is similar to one of the unsecured creditors. We also find that the rather high level of recovery rate is mainly attributable to the reorganization procedures. We finally find that the court’s choice between reorganization and liquidation is not influenced by the structure of claims. Thus, in Tunisia, the creditors are losing hand once bankruptcy is triggered.To better understand the characteristics of Tunisian bankruptcy procedures, the last part of the thesis offers a comparative study of Tunisian bankruptcy law with 18 other European and non-European countries. Ten legal indexes were constructed through "Law and Finance" approach to "measure" ten functions of bankruptcy law.Univariate and multivariate analyzes were conducted to identify the similarity or disparity points between the various bankruptcy laws

Abstract:
AbstractEndogenous development theory (naihatsuteki hattenron) by Kazuko Tsurumi frequently appears in Japanese development discourse. However, although the idea of endogenous development has been discussed in international development discourse as well, the specifics of Tsurumi’s theory have not been widely adopted. This chapter reviews the genealogy of endogenous development both in the West and Japan. Through its comparison, the chapter presents the features of Tsurumi’s endogenous development theory rooted in the Asian development experience. It then discusses how the theory might be applied in the contemporary development context and concludes by making a case for Tsurumi’s naihatsuteki hattenron in international development research and practice.

Abstract:
In considerations of Human-Machine Interaction or Human-Robot Interaction, humans are often regarded as users or employees. However, the programming of the robot also plays a crucial role, as it is a form of Human-Machine Interaction. According to the International Federation of Robotics, over 500,000 industrial robots were newly installed worldwide in 2022. It is predicted that annual installations will continue to rise in the coming years. This necessitates providing access to robot programming for less specialized personnel. In addition to traditional programming methods, there are already some more intuitive concepts in this field. This includes, for example, guiding the robot arm by hand as an alternative to control through buttons or a joystick. Furthermore, classical textual programming is often replaced by a form of Drag &amp; Drop programming.In addition to these commercially available programming variants, novel programming concepts are conceivable, such as the integration of voice control, the use of mobile devices such as phones or tablets, robot control via gestures, or the utilization of products from the field of video games. Moreover, Augmented Reality technology exists, which can support intuitive robot programming.In this article, we present our own developments on the topic of innovative methods of robot programming. Firstly, an innovative approach to robot programming using gesture control via the Kinect camera is introduced. This method allows the operator to precisely control the robot through multiple waypoints and save them using virtual elements projected by a video-projector. Subsequently, the robot can efficiently traverse the saved points, demonstrating significantly faster programming compared to conventional methods in experiments.Furthermore, we present an innovative Mixed Reality approach. By using a Head-Mounted Display, the operator can control the robot in a particularly advanced manner. This includes not only intuitive path planning in both joint and Cartesian space but also the realization of force-controlled movements and the provision of crucial status information from the robot. This holistic approach creates a novel interface between humans and robots, significantly improving efficiency and control in robotics.Next, a joystick-based robot movement with haptic feedback is introduced. This control allows the operator to precisely and intuitively control the robot using a joystick. The haptic feedback enhances the user experience by providing tactile feedback to better understand the robot's movements.The goal of all these methods is to simplify programming, even without in-depth expertise. We compare these methods with each other and with established programming procedures in terms of time efficiency, ergonomics, programming comfort, etc. Additionally, we analyze whether the considered procedures are suitable for individuals without specific expertise.

Full text
Abstract:
Armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)—often referred to as drones—have become a prominent and sometimes controversial means of delivering lethal force in the 21st century. Yet the international community is some way from reaching consensus on how established international principles are to be interpreted and applied to the use of armed UAVs. This situation is unsatisfactory for promoting civilian protection in conflict, the maintenance of peace and security, or the rule of law. Moreover, UAVs have unique characteristics that make them particularly susceptible to misuse in comparison to other technologies, at the same time as their capabilities are growing rapidly. Taken together, these factors add up to a pressing need for further development of international understandings related to transparency, oversight and accountability in the context of UAV spread and use. Building on a prior United Nations publication in 2015, this UNIDIR study assesses the current situation and suggests ways to strengthen shared understandings of transparency, oversight and accountability to address challenges raised by armed UAVs.

Full text
Abstract:
The production of a renewable energy from biomass, such as ethanol by fermentation, has received special attention as a consequence of the world energy crisis. Nowadays, gasohol E-10, a mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline has been widely used in vehicles in Thailand and there is an attempt to promote the use of E-20 or E-85 in the vehicles in the near future. Ethanol fermentation by conventional batch suffers from various constrains such as, low cell density and rather time consuming. Although continuous fermentation by suspended cell culture can be used to speed up the process, it is more difficult to operate and maintain it free of microbial contamination. Immobilized cell technology has been suggested as an effective mean for improved fermentation. The immobilization of cells leads to a high productivity, and good operational stability. The main advantages in the use of immobilized cells in comparison with suspended cells are the retention in a reactor of higher cell concentration, protection of cells against toxic substances and elimination of costly processes of cell recovery and cell recycle. However, the major problems of using immobilization technique in industrial scale are mass transfer limitation and instability in long term operation. For improved performance of immobilized cell carriers, three new types of the cell carriers for ethanol fermentation were developed in the current study, namely, 1) Loofa reinforced alginate carriers 2) Alumina doped alginate gel carrier and 3) Thin shell silk cocoon. These cell carriers were applied for the immobilization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae M30 in ethanol fermentation using sugar cane molasses as a C-source. The developed cell carriers provided many advantage characteristics such as, good mechanical strength, high stability and high immobilization yield. The ethanol productivities of 1.3-1.5 and 8.0-19.0 g/(L h) were achieved by using the immobilized cultures in batch and continuous modes of operation, respectively. The ethanol fermentations in a continuous packed-bed reactor using the immobilized cultures worked efficiently and were stable over 30 days. The results demonstrated the potential use of the cell carriers in an ethanol fermentation system for a long period of time. In extending this work, biomaterial development and characterization for tissue engineering and membrane separation were carried out. Based on this research, we can produce 8 international research articles, 2 Thai patents, 4 international conference proceedings, 3 national conference proceedings and support research activities for 7 master degree students and 1 doctoral degree student.

Abstract:
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an international comparative study of student performance directed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). PISA measures the cumulative outcomes of education by assessing how well 15-year-olds, who have nearly completed compulsory schooling in most participating educational systems, are prepared to use their knowledge and skills in particular areas to meet real-world opportunities and challenges. In addition to the cognitive data reported on in Volume I, PISA collected a wealth of student and school contextual data through the background questionnaires. This report focuses on a variety of constructs related to 15-year-old students’ experiences at school, which illustrate student background characteristics and schooling environments, including sense of belonging, student–teacher relationships, disciplinary climate, exposure to bullying, students’ resistance to stress, curiosity, perseverance, shortage of educational staff and shortage of educational material. Volume II of the PISA 2022 national report examines the similarities and differences between a number of participating countries and economies, referred to as comparison countries; the Australian states and territories; and, school sector and different demographic groups for each of the above constructs. The results from PISA, as one of the assessments in the National Assessment Program, allow for nationally comparable reports of student outcomes against the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration (Education Council, 2019).

Full text
Abstract:
The Mahabub Hossain Panel Data (MHPD) was initiated in 1988 and maintained by and named after the late Mahabub Hossain, a well-known agricultural and development economist who led a number of reputed organizations in Bangladesh (Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies and BRAC) and in the region (International Rice Research Institute). We portray the historical context, sampling evolution, survey structure and methodology, and academic and policy contributions of the MHPD with some lessons learned for the next step forward. The MHPD has tracked rural households for a period of over 3 decades (1988–2014) with five waves of household surveys covering over 2,800 households and has collected a wide range of information on household composition, schooling of household members, assets, cropping intensity and patterns including cost and return, employment and income, consumption, participation in different government and nongovernment programs. We reviewed several books and journal articles authored by Mahabub Hossain and related academic papers and documents and collated information on MHPD, including (i) mapping out information on past and ongoing panel or cross-sectional household survey data series in Bangladesh; (ii) undertaking the review of all past rounds of MHPD survey documents, such as survey implementation plans, questionnaires, codebooks, databases, and processed data; (iii) consulting relevant stakeholders, including the past implementers of the surveys and the users of the data as needed to validate documented information; (iv) taking stock of the contribution of MHPD to academic literature and policy development; and (v) drawing a number of lessons learned for future data collection and policy making. The report aims to (i) serve as a comprehensive reference document for scholars and policy makers who wish to understand MHPD for possible use in their research; and (ii) provide a comprehensive baseline from which we can consider ways to enhance MHPD further to continue contributing to understanding the economic and social issues of today and near future. By compiling all associated research work based on MHPD, we offer a historical landscape of Bangladesh’s social and economic development and a credible explanation for the Bangladesh development model for global comparison.

Blaxter, Tamsin, and Tara Garnett. Primed for power: a short cultural history of protein. TABLE, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56661/ba271ef5.

Full text
Abstract:
Protein has a singularly prominent place in discussions about food. It symbolises fitness, strength and masculinity, motherhood and care. It is the preferred macronutrient of affluence and education, the mark of a conscientious diet in wealthy countries and of wealth and success elsewhere. Through its association with livestock it stands for pastoral beauty and tradition. It is the high-tech food of science fiction, and in discussions of changing agricultural systems it is the pivotal nutrient around which good and bad futures revolve. There is no denying that we need protein and that engaging with how we produce and consume it is a crucial part of our response to the environmental crises. But discussions of these issues are affected by their cultural context—shaped by the power of protein. Given this, we argue that it is vital to map that cultural power and understand its origins. This paper explores the history of nutritional science and international development in the Global North with a focus on describing how protein gained its cultural meanings. Starting in the first half of the 19th century and running until the mid-1970s, it covers two previous periods when protein rose to singular prominence in food discourse: in the nutritional science of the late-19th century, and in international development in the post-war era. Many parallels emerge, both between these two eras and in comparison with the present day. We hope that this will help to illuminate where and why the symbolism and story of protein outpace the science—and so feed more nuanced dialogue about the future of food.

Full text
Abstract:
Fracture toughness of steels is conventionally measured using bend specimens and provides a conservative estimate of toughness when the actual loading is in tension. There has been wide-spread interest in characterizing the toughness that occurs with reduced constraint to better reflect constraint conditions typical of a relatively shallow girth weld flaw. Recent developments in fracture toughness testing and analysis of tension loaded specimens have led to publications by CANMET Materials Technology Laboratory (now CanmetMATERIALS, CMAT) and ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company (ExxonMobil) toward development of a single-specimen procedure. As part of an initiative to enhance the state of the art in strain-based design and assessment methods, with the intent of providing support for the standardization of appropriate weld testing methods, BMT Canada Ltd (BMT), under a Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) project, has combined the two single-specimen approaches and developed a recommended practice for fracture toughness testing using single-edge-notched tension SENT (or SE(T)) samples with fixed grip loading. The procedure has been assessed by means of a round robin test program involving laboratories from around the world. Girth welds were fabricated and base metal, heat affected zone and weld center line specimens were prepared and sent to round robin participants. For the round robin program all the participants used a double clip gauge arrangement for direct CTOD measurement and electric potential drop or unloading compliance methods for crack growth measurement. In this paper, the results of the round robin test program including comparison of J and CTOD resistance curves will be presented and discussed.

Giezendanner, Hardy, and Himayu Shiotani. A Reference Methodology for National Weapons and Ammunition Management Baseline Assessments. UNIDIR, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.37559/caap/21/wam/02.

Full text
Abstract:
Weapons and ammunition management (WAM) is increasingly recognized as a fundamental component of conflict prevention and actions to tackle armed violence. Effective WAM policy and practice ensures that States can exercise governance, oversight, management and control over the full life cycle of arms and ammunition within their national territory. Comprehensive, holistic and systematic national WAM baseline assessments are an essential prerequisite for informing and guiding effective strategic formulation, programme planning, and monitoring and evaluation, and – more broadly – support governance and accountability. A national WAM baseline assessment aims to assist States in their efforts to comprehensively and systematically assess WAM institutions, and their policy and operational processes and capacities, in line with their obligations and commitments at different levels as well as relevant international standards and technical guidelines. A national WAM baseline allows comparison and measurability of variation or progress over time periods, as well as impact, in different environments. One of the key results of such an assessment, and the starting point for follow-up activities, is the development of an actionable ‘national road map’ towards a strengthened and comprehensive national WAM framework. The Reference Methodology for National Weapons and Ammunition Management Baseline Assessments codifies the methodology which has been used to design and implement baseline assessments with 11 States (2015–2020), in cooperation with subregional, regional, United Nations and other partners. It draws inter alia on lessons learned while applying and refining the methodology with partners. The Reference Methodology represents UNIDIR’s practical contribution to ongoing regional efforts and new initiatives at subregional, regional and international levels to undertake comprehensive national WAM baseline assessments. This reference methodology is a practical tool to guide interested parties on how to implement a strategic WAM baseline assessment at the national level. It is being published to enhance knowledge and to promote consistency in the use of WAM baseline assessments by interested stakeholders. It will enable collaboration between States seeking assistance to undertake a national WAM baseline assessment and United Nations entities, regional organizations, and specialized non-governmental organizations that can provide support for such efforts.
