ABSTRACT:
This work aims to improve the marble industry production chain by proposing new technological
approaches using the Radio Frequency Identification - RFID - systems. The dynamic
capabilities of the RFID (read-write) tags allow the storage of the physical characterization of
stone blocks, through the UUI, according to the electrical, ultrasound and the three-dimensional
image tests. These characterization parameters of the stone blocks, resulting from non-destructive
tests, allow the knowledge of the internal structure of the rocks, which can be stored in databases,
coded by RFID-tags in order to optimize their subsequent cutting and transformation
processes. RFID identification technology when integrated into an ethernet communication
network enables automatic communication with cutting and processing equipment, building an
intelligent industrial platform, integrating PCs (Personal Computers) and PLCs (Programmable
Logic Controllers) within Industry 4.0 environment. Additionally, another huge advantage of
RFID technology is that it allows full product traceability, enabling end consumers to reverse
the production path.

L’information en entreprise est, de nos jours, vitale pour le fonctionnement de toute organisation ou entreprise. Bien que dans une certaine mesure, les grandes entreprises peuvent répondre à leurs besoins informationnels en fonction de leurs ressources et compétences, tel n’est pas le cas de la majorité des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (PME). Ces dernières ont un manque manifeste de moyens et d’effectifs. De ce fait les PME cherchent du soutien auprès des organismes extérieurs comme des agences gouvernementales et non-gouvernementales, telles des Business Membership Organizations (BMOs)¹, afin de satisfaire leurs besoins informationnels. Cette situation s’applique en Palestine aux PME de la pierre et du marbre, qui représentent le pilier du secteur industriel du pays. Les PME de la pierre et du marbre font face à de nombreux défis ; par conséquent, elles recherchent un soutien extérieur, particulièrement auprès de l’Union of Stone and Marble Industry (USM) en tant que structure représentative principale. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif général de cette étude est d’analyser le rôle informationnel et communicationnel de l’USM et de déterminer la configuration appropriée d’un système de Business Intelligence (« Intelligence d’Affaires ») permettant, ainsi, à l’USM de remplir son mandat informationnel auprès de ses membres de PME. Un processus d’aide à la décision a été utilisé, notamment la méthode de surclassement PROMETHEE, pour développer et évaluer les différentes approches concernant la manière de mettre en œuvre des tâches au sein d’un system de Business Intelligence. Pour ce faire, une revue bibliographique a été effectuée, traitant du rôle informationnel et communicationnel des BMOs, du concept de Business Intelligence et de sa mise en place, ainsi que des facteurs clefs de succès. Par la suite la technique Delphi fut appliquée pour établir un ensemble de critères d’évaluation afin de mesurer la performance des différentes approches pour chaque tâche d’une Business Intelligence Process (BIP). Les résultats de l’étude montrent que l’USM doit collaborer principalement avec le Palestinian Stone and Marble Centre afin de réaliser ces tâches d’une BIP. Le chercheur préconise des interventions étape par étape afin d’assurer le succès d’un système de Business Intelligence à l’USM afin de mieux réaliser son rôle informationnel et communicationnelBusiness information is vital today for the operation of any organization or business. While, big enterprises can, to some extent, fulfil their information needs based on their own resources and capacities, this is not the case for the majority of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME) due to a lack of resources. Therefore, SMEs look for support from external bodies such as governmental agencies and non-governmental bodies, like Business Membership Organizations (BMOs), to meet their information needs. This state of affairs applies to the stone and marble SMEs in Palestine. They represent the backbone of the industrial sector in the country. The stone and marble SMEs face many challenges. This leads them to look for external support mainly from the Union of Stone and Marble Industry (USM) as their main representative organization. In this context, the overall objective of this study is to analyse the informational and communicational role of the USM and to put forward an appropriate configuration of a Business Intelligence (BI) system for the USM so that it can fulfil its informational mandate to member SMEs in a more effective way. To do this, a literature review was carried out into the informational and communicational roles of BMOs, the concept of BI and its implementation, and Critical Success factors (CSFs). This led to using a decision aiding process, in particular, the PROMETHEE outranking methodology to develop and evaluate different alternatives of how to operate each of the BI process tasks. A decisional Delphi Technique was adapted to derive a set of evaluation criteria in order to evaluate the performance of different alternatives for each Business Intelligence Process (BIP) task. The findings of the study showed that the USM need to work mainly with the Palestinian Stone and Marble Centre in order to develop its BIP tasks. The researcher recommends step-by-step interventions to ensure a successful implementation of BI so that the USM can better fulfil its informational and communicational role

This thesis is a story of Oman. It will lightly touch the rich fabric of Oman's history. It will chart through some of Oman's modernization as a cohesive Arab state into the new era under the reign of Sultan Qaboos bin Said. The thesis will emphasize Oman's potential as a young entrepreneur, and discuss the pathways and decisions made over the last two decades bringing Oman to the forefront of economic progress and social development while maintaining its cultural heritage. As Oman continues to look for revenue sources other than oil through industrialization, the thesis will focus on Oman's Fisheries industry and discuss the gradual depletion of its marine food resources--a consequence of over-fishing. The thesis will debate whether an aquaculture industry is the next step up from Oman's Fisheries sector and can Oman used the development of its aquaculture sector to increase its revenues. The analysis of an aquaculture sector for Oman will involve evaluating the economic, scientific, environmental and ecological factors dictating the success of entering this industry. It will focus on aquaculture of shrimp and the reasons why Oman would consider using this species to develop its aquaculture sector. The thesis will lay out various approaches to practicing sustainable aquaculture and focus on three potential options to develop the aquaculture sector. This section will canvass the critical factors that should drive the decision making process in selecting the optimal aquaculture approach that will yield Oman the revenue sources it seeks while minimizing any damage to the environment. The three choices are developed with an across the border measuring device with which Oman can evaluate the socio-economical and ecological pros and cons of selecting any of the three options.

D'une part, elle montre que l'agro-industrie ivoirienne connait une situation paradoxale quant a l'efficience economique due a la protection et a la concentration. En d'autre termes, les profits substantiels nes de telles structures n'ont pas eu d'effet d'entrainement suffisant sur l'economie agro-alimentaire de ce pays. D'autre part, l'omnipresence de l'etat dans l'activite agro-industrielle, a donne naissance a des pratiques non rationnelles du point de vue l'analyse economique. Ceci trouve partiellement ses fondements dans les contraintes communautaires qui, en afrique, sont classees premieres dans l'ordre de priorite de la gestion d'une entrepriseThe objective of this thesis was to justify the performance of the ivorian agricultural industry (ag-industry) through out its market structure. The thesis used traditional and modern theory of industrial organization and linked them to ag-industry. The thesis shows that the ivorian ag-industry faces a quite paradoxal situation as far as economic efficiency is concerned this is due to the high level of protection and concentration. In other words, the agricultural and food sector did not benefit from profits earned from the existing market structure. Government intervention in all ag-industrial activities has created non-rational practices from an economic standpoint. This situation is due in part to community constraints which, in africa, are ranked number one priority in firm management

Pita, Cristina B. "The human dimensions of marine protected areas : the Scottish fishing industry." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2010. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=158382.
Full textAbstract:
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly being used as tools for fishery management and marine conservation. This thesis investigates several aspects of the human dimensions of MPAs in Scotland with the purpose to contribute to the understanding of the attitudes of Scottish inshore fishers towards this management measure. Paper I reviews the literature on fishers’ attitudes towards MPAs. It reveals that most empirical work collects information on fishers’ attitudes towards three general issues of importance to MPAs: governance, conservation of biodiversity and the environment, and the impact of MPAs on fishing activity. Using data from surveys conducted with Scottish fishers, papers II, III, IV and V investigate fishers’ attitudes towards, and perceptions of, several issues of interest to MPAs. Plus, multivariate data analysis was used in all papers in order to identify which individual characteristics influence fishers’ attitudes towards, or perceptions about, the issues under investigation. Papers II, IV and V use data collected on a survey conducted with Scottish inshore fishers in 2006/07, while Paper III uses data from a survey conducted previously (in 2001/02). Paper II investigates Scottish inshore fishers’ perceptions about participation in the decision-making process. Results reveal that around half of the fishers perceived themselves to be informed about management, but most did not perceive themselves to be consulted or involved in the decision-making process. Papers III and IV investigate fishers’ attitudes towards labour mobility. More precisely, the papers investigate fishers’ willingness to leave the fishing sector, change to another gear or move to another area to remain fishing. Results reveal that fishers’ attitudes towards leaving the fishing sector were different in the two periods. In 2002 most fishers were willing to leave the fishing sector (Paper III) while five years later most were not (Paper V). Most importantly, both papers point to the importance of job satisfaction for fishers. Results point to the importance of understanding the economic, social and cultural contexts of the fishing industry for the success of measures and policies aimed at providing fishers with alternative job opportunities in order to counter impacts of displacement caused by the implementation of MPAs and reduction of the overcapacity of the European fishing fleets. Paper V investigates inshore fishers’ attitudes towards MPAs and issues of relevance to MPAs (e.g. compliance with, and enforcement of, rules, and state of resources). More precisely, the paper investigates the attitudes towards closed areas between users of different gears which are affected by closed areas in different ways. Results reveal that Scottish inshore fishers are not a homogenous collective; the attitudes towards closed areas differ among users of different gears.

Full textAbstract:
Factors causing mortality in North Carolina's soft-shell blue crab industry were quantified and identified at 11 crab shedding systems across the state. Operators of crab shedding systems who shed peeler crabs (pre-molt crabs) that they had caught themselves (self-caught peeler crabs) experienced significantly lower crab mortality rates than operators who shed peelers that they had bought from different sources (purchased-peeler crabs). Molt stage had a significant effect on the mortality rates of self-caught peeler crabs, as early molt stage crabs (white-line peelers) suffered significantly higher mortality rates than late molt stage crabs (red-line peelers). Purchased male crabs experienced significantly higher mortality rates than purchased females crabs. Water quality did not have a significant effect on crab mortality. Male peeler crab mortality was not significantly affected by the presence or absence of female red-line peeler crabs. Male red-line peelers experienced significantly longer times to molt when male crab density was high. Results of this study may lead to improvements in crab shedding technology, increased profits, and better fishery management practices.

Masters in Public Administration - MPAIn the dissertation entitled The Management of Public-Private Partnerships in restructuring the South African marine industry towards sustainable development the author explores the thematic study of sustainable development through Public-Private Partnerships. The setting of the research project is a southern Africa case study of the marine industry in South Africa. The study develops a conceptual framework of how the contemporary discourse of sustainable development, namely, Public-Private Partnerships, could be applied in creating an environment for human security by restructuring its marine resource institutional economics towards community development enterprises. The objective of the study is to develop a conceptual sustainable resource management model that proposes new institutional arrangements between social, economic, environmental and political actors and stakeholders in the marine industry through Public-Private Partnerships. The thesis concludes to demonstrate how this resource management model result in equitable outcomes within the new institutional arrangements between the different actors and stakeholder in a Public-Private co-management system. It hereby applies the development discourse of Public-Private Partnerships in restructuring South African marine resource management towards sustainable development.

Norman, Bradley Michael. "Aspects of the biology and ecotourism industry of the whale shark Rhincodon typus in North-Western Australia." Murdoch University, 1999. http://wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au/adt/browse/view/adt-MU20071003.121017.
Full textAbstract:
The conservation status of the widely-distributed whale shark Rhincodon typus is presently listed as 'Indeterminate - Data Deficient'. One of the main hindrances to obtaining biological data on whale sharks that is relevant to determining its 'conservation status' is that this species has rarely been recorded as occurring in sufficient numbers to obtain quantitative data. However, R. typus does form aggregations at Ningaloo Marine Park (NMP), Western Australia, annually between March and June. This has enabled studies to be made of aspects of the biology of R. typus and of the possible impacts of the ecotourism industry on this species.
Using a position provided on vessels involved with the whale shark ecotourism industry at NMP, R. typus was observed on 360 separate occasions in 1995, 1996 and 1997, and it was possible to sex 90.3% of these sharks. The majority of the sexed sharks (84.6%) were male and ranged in length from 4 to 12 m, with a mean of 7.4 m, while the females ranged in length from 4.5 to 8.5 m, with a mean of 6.2 m. The size and degree of abrasion of the claspers was used as an indicator of whether or not a male shark had mated. Using such criteria, it was estimated that male whale sharks start to mature at ca 8 m and that ca 50% are mature by the time they reach 8.6m.
Observations suggested that R. typus feeds by using both suction and flow-through mechanisms. The prey that were observed being ingested included coral spawn, tropical krill, mysids and small jellyfish. The contents of a faecal sample contained parts of the exoskeleton of copepods and the scales of small fishes. The degree of mouth distension, which is assumed to be related to feeding activity, was low during most observation periods.
Photographs of the scars and natural patterning on the skin of individual sharks were used to construct a photographic library for subsequent identification of these sharks. The features used for identifying individual sharks were chosen because they were considered likely to remain for a protracted period. The Whale Shark Photo -identification Library that was produced provides details on the characteristic features of 52 R. typus that were present at NMP. Six individuals were recorded at NMP in both 1995 and 1996, four in both 1996 and 1997, and one in both 1995 and 1997. No identified whale sharks were recorded in all three years.
Rhincodon typus was distributed widely throughout NMP, with most boat and aerial sightings lying within 1 - 2 Ism of the reef crest between Tantabiddi and Turquoise Bay. Rhincodon typus was typically sighted in water depths of 10 to 30 m. The sharks were predominantly travelling parallel to Ningaloo Reef, with significantly more moving in a northward than southward direction. Acoustic tracking of R. typus in 1997 suggested that this species remains within NMP for extended periods and is at the surface for ca 17% of daylight hours.
The number and species of fauna observed to be associated with R. typus were recorded, and a new species of copepod, Pandarus sp. nov., which lives on the skin of R. typus has been described. Golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus), miscellaneous trevally (Carangid sp.), remora (Remora sp.) and slender suckerfish (Echeneis naucrates) were common. The prevalence of Pandarus sp. nov. was inversely proportional to the number of Remora sp. and E. mucrates in 1996, while the opposite was true in 1997, suggesting that Pandarus sp. nov. were preyed on by these diskfish.
Rhincodon typus is the basis of the ecotourism industry that operates within NMP each year. While there was considerable variation in the number of tour vessels searching for whale sharks at NMP each year, the greatest mean number of vessels operating per week in successive whale shark seasons were 6.7 during Week 8 (April 19 - 25) of 1995, 6.1 during Week 7 (April 12 - 18) of 1996 and 6.9 during Week 8 (April 19 - 25) of 1997. The greatest mean numbers of whale sharks sighted per week in each year were 5.1 during Week 14 (May 31 - June 6) of 1995,4.2 during Week 6 (April 5 - 11) of 1996 and 4.1 during Week 8 (April 19 - 25) of 1997.
Tourists, who were permitted to swim alongside R. tyus, interacted with sharks for a mean period of 19.3 rnin in 1995, 14.2 min in 1996 and 9.5 rnin in 1997. The reduction in the duration of interaction in three successive years suggests that, over time, R. typus may have become slightly less tolerant of the ecotourism industry at NMP. The mean minimum distance between vessel and shark during each interaction was 20.7 m in 1995, 21.3 m in 1996 and 31.0 m in 1997. The mean minimum distance between tourist and shark during each interaction was 1.5 m in 1995, 2.05 m in 1996, and 2.1 m in 1997. The mean minimum distance of vessel and tourist from R. typus during each individual interaction decreased as the duration of the interaction increased. Therefore, both R. typus and this industry must be carefully monitored to ensure that the impacts of humans are kept to a minimum and thereby ensure that whale sharks return to NMP each year.
An ethology of whale shark behaviours, which included banking, porpoising, diving and eye-rolling, was produced in an attempt to determine whether there is evidence that the ecotourism industry has a negative impact on R. opus at NMP. The frequency of behavioural change was greatest in the first 0 - 5 min of an observation. Eye-rolling by R. typus was recorded as a reaction to flash-photography, while banking was often recorded when SCUBA was used and/or tourists swam beneath the head of the shark. The swimming speed of R. typus at NMP was rarely too fast for tourists to maintain proximity to the sharks.
Several sharks possessed both recent and healed scars, which were probably inflicted by vessel contact. The recent wounds indicate that vessels had caused injuries to R. typus within NMP. These individuals tended to display a higher frequency of avoidance behaviours and reduced interaction times.
Recommendations are provided to the Western Australian Department of Conservation and Land Management which are aimed at reducing the potential deleterious effects of the ecotourism industry on the whale sharks at NMP.

Many workforce-related shortages in the marine transportation industry can be attributed to low birth rates, high levels of upcoming retirements, and evolving occupational complexities of the industry. These challenges may soon place the marine transportation industry in a workforce crisis within some high-demand occupations. This explanatory case study examines how the Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland’s learns and adapts its practices to more effectively attract, recruit, and retain students for a career at sea. The study applies organizational learning theory as a practical lens to better understand the phenomenon of learning at the organizational level, how it occurs, and the processes involved which enable transformation. The study looks at communicative and collaborative processes of members, including collective thinking, reflection on past experiences, and dialogue, which combined, enable changing conventional ways of thinking. The findings describe how the organization constructs solutions, how it learns and reacts to workforce complexities.

Full textAbstract:
Cette these est divisee en deux parties : la premiere est consacree a l'etude du marche petrolier et energetique mondial et aux rapports qui existent entre les differents partenaires de ce marche. La deuxieme concerne l'evolution de l'economie arabe et le role joue par le petrole. Dans la premiere partie nous etudions tout d'abord le probleme de l'energie dans son ensemble. On analyse les domaines de concurrence et des complementarites entre les sources energetiques, ainsi que les perspectives des energies traditionnelles et les energies nouvelles et renouvelables qui representent la seule solution durable. Ensuite, on analyse le mecanisme des marches regionaux et leur role respectif. Nous etudions egalement la formation et l'evolution du cartel petrolier et des systemes miniers. Ceci permet de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement du marche petrolier et sa nature d'oligopole. Cette analyse nous conduit a etudier les differentes rentes petrolieres et l'evolution des modes de leur partage a travers les modifications du systeme d'exploitation, et a travers l'evolution du role des pays producteurs du petrole en tant que proprietaires fonciers des gisements. On explique comment les pays developpes et les compagnies petrolieres ont reussi a capter la majeure partie de la rente la plupart du temps. .In this thesis there are three developed principal ideas : 1- the problem of the energy is a global one both in the time and the space. 2- the exploitation of the petrol of the under developing countries by the companies and the developing countries and their captivity of a grand part of the petroleum rent is an continues phenomena for a medium and a long term, and it is only a result of the production and the purchase of the petrol by the under developing countries. The dependance of these countries is by means as essential term of the international petroleum industry. 3 - the development of the arab world by the rent strength rent nature and the parasite of the arab countries and insure their dependance to the world market. We proved here that these ideas are related to each other. The sources of energy are separated and regarded as a competitive and unchangble sources. The utilization of the petrol as a source of energy satisfy the needs of the developing countries, it is reserved for non specific usage wich can be done by another sources. This lead to dissipate the petrol and mantain the prices in so low level. The companies and the developing countries gain this source and the big part of its rent. .

Full textAbstract:
Le Centre-Ouest de la France est une région clef pour l’appréhension des variations culturelles du Magdalénien moyen ancien (19-17 500 cal. BP). Elle apparaît, à travers de riches productions artistiques (art pariétal et mobilier, parure) et osseuses (pointes de projectiles, navettes), comme un carrefour culturel. Deux faciès sont identifiés : le Magdalénien à pointe de Lussac-Angles et le Magdalénien à navettes. À travers l’étude des sites de la Marche (Lussac-Angles) et de la grotte Blanchard à la Garenne (navettes), nous avons cherché à restituer les comportements techniques liés à la production et à l’utilisation de l’outillage de ces deux grands faciès. À la suite d’une approche systémique combinant analyse technologique et fonctionnelle des productions lithiques, nous montrons qu’il existe un partage de fonds technique commun et une perméabilité entre ces faciès, à travers les modalités de production des lames et des lamelles, les relations entre forme et fonction et les stratégies de gestion de l’outillage (utilisations multiples, réutilisations, ravivages, raffûtages, multiplication des outils doubles). En revanche, des variations en termes de gestes voire de procédés techniques liés à l’utilisation des grattoirs et des lamelles à dos sont perceptibles. Ces éléments révèlent des spécificités propres aux comportements techniques sur chacun des sitesWest-central France is a key region to apprehend cultural variations of the Early Middle Magdalenian (19-17 500 cal. BP). This region appears to be at a cultural crossroad of several traditions visible through rich art (cave art, portable art, ornaments) and bone industry traditions (projectile points, navettes). Two facies are identified: the Lussac-Angles Magdalenian and the navettes Magdalenian. By focusing on the sites of la Marche (Lussac-Angles) and the Blanchard cave on the hillside of la Garenne (navettes), we seeked to approach technical behaviours related to use and production of the tools of these two facies. With a systemic approach that combines technological and functional analyses of lithic production, we show the existence of a shared technical background and a permeability between facies. This is evidenced through modalities of production of blades and bladelets, relations between form and function and tools management strategies (multiple uses, reuses, sharpenings, multiplication of double tools). On the other hand, variations in terms of gestures or technical processes related to the use of endscrapers and backed bladelets are perceptible. These elements reveal specificities of the technical behaviours on each site

Mestrado em Gestão e Estratégia IndustrialO presente estudo consistiu em um projeto prospetivo que envolveu os principais "stakeholders" do setor das energias renováveis marinhas com o objetivo de explorar cenários preliminares focados na evolução desta indústria. Neste sentido, o estudo pretendeu melhorar o conhecimento geral sobre potenciais sinergias entre as energias renováveis marinhas e a indústria da construção naval, e destacar de forma holística e integrada os aspetos socioeconómicos, políticos, ambientais e tecnológicos. A análise centrou-se no contexto Europeu num horizonte temporal de 15 anos. Para esse fim, foi aplicada a análise morfológica, uma vez que é uma abordagem simples e sistemática para construção e exploração de possíveis futuros. Neste contexto, o software Morphol foi utilizado para obter o esqueleto dos cenários o que permitiu identificar 24 combinações plausíveis, ou cenários para possíveis futuros. Posteriormente, a partir deste conjunto de cenários, foram selecionados apenas 3 com base no método "extreme-world" que consiste em criar mundos extremos, colocando todas as incertezas positivas em um cenário e todas as negativas em outro cenário. Finalmente, obteve-se um cenário, denominado "blue-ocean", onde há uma simbiose perfeita entre as energias renováveis marinhas e a indústria de construção naval. O segundo cenário, denominado "different-worlds", é essencialmente o oposto do primeiro e baseia-se na crença de que o conservadorismo e tradicionalismo associados ao setor da construção naval impedem esta indústria de alargar as suas atividades a novos e mais inovadores campos. Por último, o terceiro cenário, denominado "business-as-usual", reúne algumas características dos dois cenários anteriores e, portanto, reflete uma realidade intermédia.
The present study is a prospective joint project with key stakeholders aiming at exploring draft scenarios focused on the renewable energy industry. In this framework, the goal of the study was to improve the general knowledge and understanding on potential synergies between marine renewables and the shipbuilding industry, in a holistic and integrative manner that highlights socio-economic, political, environmental and technological aspects. The analysis is focused on the European context, and is based on a time horizon of 15 years. To this end, the morphological analysis was applied since it is a fairly simple and systematic approach to build and explore possible futures. In this context, the Morphol software was used to obtain the skeleton of the scenarios. Eventually, 24 plausible combinations, or future possible scenarios, were found. Afterwards, from this set of scenarios, three were selected based on the extreme-world method, which consists of creating extreme worlds by putting all the positive uncertainties in one scenario and all the negative in another scenario. Finally, we end up with one scenario, named "blue-ocean", where there is a perfect symbiosis between marine renewables and the shipbuilding industry. Moreover, the second scenario, named "different-worlds", is essentially the opposite of the first one and relies on the belief that the conservatism and reluctance associated to the traditionalism of shipbuilding prevents the industry from extending its activities into new and more innovative fields. Eventually, the last scenario, named "business-as-usual", gathers some characteristics of the two previous scenarios and so it reflects an in-between reality.

Full textAbstract:
Under international law, every state has the sovereign right to establish the conditions under which it will grant its nationality to a vessel. By consequence, different schemes for ship registration have been developed, traditionally the nationalist and open system. While the nationalist system imposes strict requirements regarding national ownership and manning, along with burdensome fiscal regimes for the shipping industry, the open system offered flexible requirements and a friendly taxation environment, that help shipowners to minimize their operation costs.Open registries have been criticized for not complying with international accepted shipping standards in safety, environmental, and labour aspects. However, some of them have made great efforts to raise these standards, mainly obliged by the new demands of the shipping industry. Nonetheless, the shift to a new culture of quality shipping is not only a responsibility of flag states, but of all the actors of a maritime scenario.

This work therefore questions the structural,socioeconomic and political data, which constitute the agency of an artistic production, but also evolution in the subject-object relations, definition of what art is, specific tropes,preference of a downward movement to an ascending (transcendental) movement,experimentation as a cognitive foundation, the preference of a position of being-in-theworld to the notion of being-in-the-world, the abandonment of idealism and metaphysics for the development of other ontological regimes.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est une contribution à un domaine encore insuffisamment connu, l’histoire des petites et moyennes entreprises et de leurs relations avec les territoires, l’État et la division internationale du travail. Elle s’organise en trois parties chronologiques. La construction d’un atelier de fabrication de chaînes de mouillage par la Marine en 1823 marque le début de l’industrie française de la chaîne. En dehors des deux districts spécialisés de Saint-Amand-les-Eaux dans le Nord et de Saint-Martin-la-Plaine dans La Loire, des chaîniers s’installent dans la Haute-Marne, les Ardennes et les ports. Les nouvelles manufactures côtoient la proto-industrie. Si le XIXe siècle voit le développement des chaînes forgées en fer, les incidents dus à la mauvaise qualité des soudures favorisent l’innovation d’André Galle. À la fin du XIXe siècle, les besoins nouveaux, créés par la transmission d’énergie pour les bicyclettes et les automobiles, donnent un essor nouveau au secteur industriel. De nombreuses entreprises voient le jour ; des entrepreneurs anglais et suisses s’installent en France. Le XXe siècle voit l’émergence de Brampton-Renold, filiale française de Renold. Sedis, filiale de Peugeot, lui ravit la place de leader au cours des années 1970. Contrairement à ces deux entreprises qui ont choisi la production de masse, les autres chaîniers s’orientent vers la production flexible. La crise créée par le choc pétrolier de 1973 conduit à la faillite nombre de chaîniers qui ont choisi une stratégie de niches. Tout le secteur est en déclin. Les leaders se trouvent désormais en AsieIncomplete company archives and numerous interviews have made it possible to reconstruct the historical course of some chain manufacturers. This dissertation is organized in three chronological parts. The French chain industry began in 1823 when the Navy set up an anchor chain manufacturing workshop. Apart from the specialized districts of Saint-Amand-les-Eaux in the North and Saint-Martin-la-Plaine in the Loire area, chain manufacturers set up their companies in Haute-Marne, Ardennes, and ports. The new factories mix with the protoindustry. Whereas forged iron chains develop in the XIXth century, the incidents due to the welding poor quality lead to innovation by André Galle. In the late XIXth century, the new needs created by the energy transmission for bicycles and automobiles, give a boost to this industrial sector. Many companies are created ; English and Swiss entrepreneurs set up business in France. The XXth century sees the emergence of Brampton-Renold, Renold’s French subsidiary. Sedis, Peugeot’s subsidiary, steals its place as the leader in the 1970’s. Unlike those two companies that chose mass production, the other manufacturers went in for flexible production. Because of the 1973 oil crisis, numerous chain manufacturers who had chosen a niche strategy, went bankrupt. The whole sector is in decline. The leaders are now in Asia

Full textAbstract:
The overarching goal of this doctoral thesis was to advance the understanding of the interactions between marine fish farming, wild fish populations, the local small-scale fishery and the society. This thesis was designed as a multi-disciplinary study and is divided into three different sections: ecology (chapter 1 and 2), fisheries (chapter 3) and social science (chapter 4).
In the ecological part we examined the spatial and temporal extent of the attraction effect of wild fish at an Atlantic bluefin tuna and a Gilthead seabream farm. At both farms wild fish aggregated closely to the cage structure, revealing an abrupt decline of fish abundance rather than a gradient. The intensity of the cage effect varied according to farm, season and depth. At the seabream farm, the cage effect persisted year round, whereas at the tuna farm, the effect was restricted to summer and spring.
The variability of wild fish aggregations within the Gilthead seabream farm was analyzed because it can be a distorting factor in estimating the farm attraction effect. Our findings showed that at the surface, fish abundance was significantly higher during feeding compared with non-feeding periods. Moreover, the distance from the feeding vessel significantly influenced fish aggregations in the water column. At the bottom, substrate type was the dominant factor explaining aggregation variability.
The effect of fish farming on the small-scale fishery was evaluated in order to determine whether farms act as protection zones or as traps for wild fish populations. The findings revealed a relevant amount of commercial and recreational fishing effort in farm vicinity. However, the results showed no benefit or difference of fishing in close proximity to the farm compared to areas away from the farm (in terms of yield, income, and catch composition). Yet, farm-aggregated fish are vulnerable to hidden fishing practices inside the farm.
The analysis of the perception of marine fish farming in Catalonia was performed with five key stakeholder-groups (NGOs, local fishermen, fish farming industry, scientists and regional administration). Four perceptions were identified; two represented divergent views and two intermediate positions. Environmental impacts were not perceived as a high risk by the majority of the participants. The major weaknesses were attributed to economic (e.g. price competition with other producer countries) and social issues (e.g. lack of credible information about farmed products).
Overall, this thesis provides new information about the complex dynamics of wild fish aggregations at marine fish farms and investigates how this attraction effect influences the local small-scale fishery. Moreover, an understanding of the different perceptions on marine fish farming can help to secure a social, economic and environmental sustainable activity.Esta tesis persigue avanzar en el conocimiento de las interacciones de la piscicultura marina, de carácter multidisciplinar y estructurada en tres áreas: ecología (capítulos 1 y 2), pesca (capítulo 3) y ciencias sociales (capítulo 4). En el área de ecología, se analizó la extensión espacial y temporal del efecto atractor de peces salvajes sobre dos tipos de granjas: atún rojo (Thunnus thynnus) y dorada (Sparus aurata). En ambas el efecto atractor se restringía al límite de las jaulas, variando estacionalmente y en profundidad. Las diferencias entre granjas, permanente en doradas y estacional en atunes, se deben a diferencias en la composición específica asociadas con la localización y tipo de cultivo. El análisis de la variabilidad interna en la comunidad íctica se analizó ya que podría ser un factor distorsionador en la estimación del efecto atractor. Los resultados mostraron que la abundancia de peces en superficie disminuía significativamente en los períodos de no alimentación y durante la alimentación las concentraciones de peces disminuían en función de la distancia al barco alimentador. Por el contrario, la variabilidad de agregación en el fondo dependía exclusivamente del tipo de sustrato. La interacción con la pesca artesanal se evaluó con el fin de conocer si las granjas actúan como zonas de protección o como trampas para los peces salvajes. Los resultados no mostraron beneficio, detrimento o diferencia de la pesca en las proximidades de la granja respecto a zonas distantes (en términos de producción, ingresos y composición de las capturas). El análisis de la percepción de la acuicultura, indicador del escenario de aceptación y de elementos clave para su desarrollo, se realizó sobre cinco grupos de interés (ONGs, pescadores locales, industria de la piscicultura, científicos y administración regional) en el marco regional de Cataluña. Se identificaron cuatro percepciones; dos claramente divergentes y dos de posturas intermedias. Los impactos ambientales no fueron percibidos como de alto riesgo por la mayoría de los actores. Las principales debilidades fueron atribuidas a aspectos económicos (p. ej. la competencia con otros países productores) y sociales (p. ej. la falta de información acerca de la credibilidad de los productos acuícolas).

Full textAbstract:
This research is presented in three sections. Section 1 presents the research report in an Academic Paper format. Section 2 provides a comprehensive literature review and Section 3 describes the research methodology and methods employed. Sustainable management of natural resources is a global imperative. It is particularly significant in a country like South Africa that is blessed with an abundance of biological diversity but faces many socio economic challenges that are associated with developing nations. Toward addressing these issues, diver permit fees were implemented in South Africa in 2005, making it a legal requirement for all scuba divers undertaking a dive in a Marine Protected Area (MPA) to purchase a permit. This pilot study is the first attempt since the inception of the dive permit fees to determine their impact on the demand for diving and the diving industry in the Aliwal Shoal MPA, one of the premier dive destinations in the country. In order to address key questions, qualitative data was gathered during interviews with 12 dive operators active in the MPA and 28 divers that utilised the operators to dive. In addition, independent quantitative data on the number of dive boat launches during the past 20 years was used in conjunction with mean paying diver data obtained from the operators to ascertain the demand for diving at the Aliwal Shoal during the past two decades. Results indicate that were no significant differences (at the 5% level of significance) between paying divers during 2005 compared to 2004 and 2006 [H =.1923366, N= 36, p =0.9083]. Paying diver data for the period 2000 - 2004 were compared to 2005 - 2010 and no significant differences were found at the 5% level of significance (U= 2040, Npost = 72, Npre= 60, p = 0.584981). Diver interviews revealed that only 36% of divers had paid for a permit, representing a loss of R7 438 499 during the past five years, enough to support the current budget of the MPA for 10.6 years. Operator interviews revealed that alternative destinations, economic climate and local competition had the most impact on their businesses, with permit fees having no impact on the 50% of the operators’ businesses. Operators also reported that there was little or no enforcement of the permit fees, 9 of the operators indicated that there has been no improvement in the MPA or its management since the inception of the fees and all were dissatisfied with the current management MPA. Operators and divers complained about the current purchasing and handling practices associated with the permits. Despite offering a world class diving opportunity, the dive operators currently have no incentive to enforce the permit system and due to price pressure in the local market, and have adopted a mute stance on diver permits. Consequently, there has been no significant impact on the demand for diving since the inception of the permits in 2005. The initial hypothesis that the increased costs to divers as a result of the permits would drive down the demand for diving is therefore rejected. If the permits are more strictly enforced, it is likely that more divers may seek alternative destinations due to the perception of poor value as a result of the Sappi Saiccor effluent discharge, existence of shark nets and poor management, in accordance with existing literature. The resultant decrease in demand will be detrimental to the diving industry at Aliwal Shoal. The second hypothesis, that the costs associated with the better enforcement of the MPA regulations-in terms of impacts on the diving industry- might outweigh the benefits, is therefore accepted. All the results produced by this study suggest that authorities may have been too enthusiastic to have all the boxes ticked in order to meet deadlines for international targets for marine conservation and paid little or no attention to lessons learnt from MPAs globally. Every negative aspect highlighted by existing international literature as symptomatic of MPA failure is occurring at Aliwal Shoal MPA, albatrossing it with “paper park” status. Due to the size and scope of this study, the results should be interpreted with caution and not be utilised to guide policy but rather encourage further research.

Full textAbstract:
In order to increase energy security and meet carbon emission reduction targets set by the EU and UK government, the UK energy sector has increased its reliance on renewable energy. The marine renewable sector is set to become a major contributor to the UK's energy portfolio but incumbent on the offshore renewable sector are the high development, operation and maintenance costs. Prevailing metocean conditions at an offshore energy site contribute significantly to the life-cycle costs of an offshore energy project. Where access to a site is limited by a lack of suitable weather-windows, leading to high instances of downtime, weather-induced costs increase. Determination of suitable metocean weather-windows, defined by maximum operating thresholds and the length of time required to perform a task can assist with the risk management of a project and the reduction of downtimes, thus reducing costs. Metocean weather-windows are determined using 31 years (the “climatological norm”) of ECMWF ERA-40 reanalysis data. The annual, seasonal and monthly distribution parameters for wind and wave regimes at three sites are derived, using three different distribution parameter estimation models. Probabilities of defined weather-windows are determined using the derived distribution parameters and compared with empirical probabilities, based on the frequentist approach. Wind regimes fit a Weibull distribution and wave regimes fit a 3P gamma distribution and unique annual, seasonal and monthly distribution parameters are required for accurate weather-window determination. When fitted to appropriate PDFs, the shape and scale values determined by the different estimation techniques result in significantly different probabilities. Empirical probabilities converge with those determined using the MLE model but both significantly differ from those derived using the LSM and MoM derived parameters. In the absence of a dataset spanning the climatological norm, this suggests that the MLE method of parameter estimation is more accurate for the successful determination of weather-windows.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: De Beers Marine (Ply) Limited (DBM) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the De Beers group of companies. DBM initially operated as an exploration company, but was pressunsed to transform from a explorative venture to a sustainable and profitable company. This involves operating diamond mining vessels at an unprecedented scale. Project management techniques are used to design, construct and commission these vessels. The problem that DBM is presented with is that its projects are often completed late or under immense pressure to be completed within the allocated time. This study focuses on the performance of these projects from the perspective of scope management to analyse its effect on the outcome of the projects. Literature on project scope management was studied to determine what effective scope management processes should be in place to facilitate a project's success. DBM project data was studied to determine which scope management processes had an effect on DBM project success. The data showed that for the projects that had both quantitative and qualitative information, scope management was highlighted as instrumental in both successful and less successful projects, i.e. in DBM effective scope management contributes to project success. A lack of scope management increases the chances of a project not meeting its required project management parameters. The conclusion is that for DBM projects, there must be a strong focus on upfront scope management processes of initiation, planning and definition. The processes of verification and change control must also be in place and managed well to support the upfront processes.

Com base na literatura sobre capacidade absortiva e nos estudos de inovação, argumenta-se neste trabalho que a capacidade absortiva influencia as atividades de de inovação. O modelo de capacidade absortiva utilizado foi o de Zahra e George (2002), que tem por base a capacidade absortiva potencial (dimensões de aquisição e assimilação) e capacidade absortiva realizada (dimensões de transformação e exploração (exploitation)). A inovação foi entendida como um processo que pode gerar inovações organizacionais, em produtos e processos, e de marketing. Este estudo tem por foco, porém, inovações de produtos e processos. Dessa forma, com o objetivo de entender como a capacidade absortiva influencia a inovação de produtos e processos em micro e pequenas empresas brasileiras, o presente estudo adotou uma abordagem qualitativa, por meio da investigação sob a forma de múltiplos casos. Para isso, foram desenvolvidos dois estudos de casos no segmento da indústria náutica. Os casos foram analisados em separado e depois foram comparados, buscando semelhanças que ampliassem a compreensão do fenômeno. Os resultados sugerem que há uma influência positiva da capacidade absortiva nas atividades de inovação das micro e pequenas empresas da indústria náutica brasileira. Alguns elementos diferenciais foram encontrados, como o fato de que, nos casos estudados, o processo de inovação se inicia a partir da experiência acumulada, da percepção dos proprietários, das informações oriundas de clientes e velejadores e das informações obtidas junto aos fornecedores. Outro elemento foi de que há, por vezes, um processo de realimentação entre as dimensões de assimilação e transformação, mesmo que curto, antes da informação ser explorada (exploited) sob a forma de novos produtos ou de processos mais eficientes. Por fim, foi encontrado que o nível de desenvolvimento da capacidade absortiva influencia na inovação de produtos e processos. A contribuição final do estudo se compõe de um framework integrado que demonstra a influência e o funcionamento da capacidade absortiva na geração de inovações de produtos e processos nas empresas estudadas.Based on the literature on absorptive capacity and innovation studies, it is argued in this research that the absorptive capacity influences the activities of innovation. It was used the model of absorptive capacity of Zahra and George (2002), which is based on the potential absorptive capacity comprised by the dimensions of acquisition and assimilation, and on realized absorptive capacity, based on the dimensions of transformation and exploitation. Innovation is understood as a process that can generate innovations in products and processes, services, organization and marketing. However, this study focuses on innovations in products and processes. Thus, in order to understand how the absorptive capacity influences the innovation of products and processes in Brazilian micro and small firms, this study adopted a qualitative approach. A multiple cases study was conducted in the marine industry. The two cases were analyzed separately and then compared, looking for similarities that would broaden the understanding of the phenomenon. The results suggest a positive influence of absorptive capacity on innovation activities of micro and small firms in the Brazilian marine industry. Some differential elements were found, such as the fact that, in the cases studied, the process of innovation starts from the accumulated experience, the perception of the owners, the information from customers and sailors and the information obtained from the suppliers. Another factor is that there is sometimes a feedback process between the dimensions of assimilation and transformation, even though short, before the information is exploited in the form of new products and more efficient processes. Finally, it was found that the level of development of absorptive capacity influences the innovation of products and processes. The final contribution of this study consists of an integrative framework that demonstrates the influence and operation of absorptive capacity in generating innovation of products and processes in micro and small firms.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur les réseaux acoustiques de données dans le contexte des installations pétrolières sous-marines. L'enjeu est de pouvoir faire communiquer différents éléments de contrôle d'une plateforme pétrolière sans utiliser des liaisons filaires, l'installation de telles liaisons étant coûteuse en temps et en argent. L'onde acoustique est donc la seule alternative possible. Les caractéristiques du milieu sous-marin et de la propagation de l'onde acoustique dans l'eau limitent les performances des systèmes de communication acoustique sous-marine. Tout d'abord, la célérité de l'onde acoustique dans l'eau est très faible par rapport à celle des ondes radio dans l'air. La seconde restriction liée à ce milieu vient du fait que les ressources fréquentielles sont sévèrement limitées. L'objectif de ce travail est d'optimiser l'utilisation de ces ressources tout en augmentant le débit reçu et en réduisant le délai de transmission. Pour réaliser cet objectif, nous avons structuré notre travail en trois volets:le premier volet concerne la proposition des mécanismes MAC adaptés au milieu sous-marin; le deuxième volet concerne le développement de nouvelles techniques de transmission adaptées au contexte des communications acoustiques sous-marines; et enfin le troisième volet concerne l'optimisation conjointe de ces deux couches en proposant une approche Cross Layer. Notre protocole MAC est basé sur le mécanisme CSMA/CA. Le principe de notre système de transmission est basé sur les techniques CDMA avec une transmission sur plusieurs antennes. La troisième étape de ce travail est de fusionner ces deux parties indépendantes pour proposer un protocole Cross LayerThis thesis deals with acoustic data networks in the context of oil offshore platforms. The problem involves setting up a set of offshore platform control stations that are capable of communicating between them in a wireless way. Since cable installations is a costly process both in terms of time and money, the solution using acoustic wave is the only possible and efficient alternative. The underwater channel and the acoustic wave propagation properties limit acoustic communication system performance. The propagation speed of the acoustic wave under water is very low compared to the propagation speed of the electromagnetic wave. The second underwater channel particularity is that the frequency band resources are severely limited. The aim of this work is to optimize use of resources by increasing network throughput and reducing transmission delay. To achieve this purpose, we have divided this work into three points: The first point is concerned with the proposition of MAC mechanisms adapted to underwater context, the second point disucusses the proposition of transmission techniques adapted for underwater acoustic communications, and the third point deals with the optimization of the two layers and the proposition of a Cross Layer approach. Our proposition of a MAC protocol is based on CSMA/CA mechanism. The transmission system we have proposed is based on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) techniques with several antennas. The third step of this work is to combine these two parts in order to propose a Cross Layer approach which optimizes the two layers

Full textAbstract:
La France possède la deuxième superficie maritime du monde et une véritable expertise dans le domaine off-shore. Elle est donc doublement concernée par le potentiel de ressources minières que contiennent les fonds marins. Selon plusieurs études, les espaces maritimes relevant de la souveraineté ou de la juridiction de la France renfermeraient de nombreux gisements miniers. Ces derniers contiennent des ressources connues comme le pétrole mais aussi des ressources potentielles comme les terres rares, métaux nécessaires aux technologies de pointe. Ces ressources constituent sans nul doute l’un des enjeux majeurs du XXIe siècle. Leur exploitation suscite néanmoins des revendications économiques et environnementales : les populations locales demandent à bénéficier des fruits de cette exploitation ; l’environnement devra être préservé par les exploitants off-shore. Le Code minier n’est pas en mesure de relever ces défis. Le statut des ressources minières marines doit donc être adapté aux nouveaux enjeux. La thèse plaide, en un mot, pour leur rattachement au patrimoine commun de la nation. En effet, les caractères « transtemporel » et « transpatial » de la notion de patrimoine commun de la nation permettent de répondre aux revendications locales ainsi qu’à l’enjeu environnemental (1re partie). Cette intégration des ressources minières marines au patrimoine commun de la nation serait parfaitement compatible avec le droit de la mer (2e partie). Il conviendrait en revanche de tenir compte du statut particulier de certains territoires d’outre-mer (3e partie)France has the second largest maritime area in the world and a real expertise in the off-shore sector. It is therefore doubly concerned by the potential of mineral resources contained in the seabed. According to several studies, maritime areas under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of France would contain many mineral deposits. These contain resources known as oil but also potential resources such as rare earth metals needed for advanced technologies. These resources are undoubtedly one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century. Their exploitation nevertheless gives rise to economic and environmental claims: the local populations mean to benefit from the gains resulting from this exploitation; the environment will have to be preserved by the off-shore operators. The Mining Code cannot meet these challenges. The status of marine mineral resources must therefore be adapted to these new challenges. The thesis argues, in a word, for their attachment to the common heritage of the Nation. Indeed, the transtemporal and transpatial aspects of the notion of the common heritage of the Nation make it possible to respond to local demands as well as to the environmental issue (Part I). In addition, an integration of marine mineral resources into the common heritage of the Nation would not be contrary to the Law of the Sea (Part II). On the other hand, the special status of certain overseas territories should be taken into account (Part III)

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to compare the life-cycle cost and environmental impact of the existing fuel-based propulsion system, on public commuter ferries in Stockholm, with a battery based propulsion system. The study is divided into multiple layers. First, the operating characteristics of the route Line 80 within Stockholm’s waterborne public transportation (WPT) are collected, such as fuel consumption, propulsion power output, speed, voyage time and propulsion system configuration. Second, based on the energy demand of the route, important parameters related to the existing fuel-based propulsion system and the battery-based propulsion system are accounted for and modeled. Third, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the cost assessment methods are applied to examine the effectiveness of the electrification of commuter ferries on a financial and environmental scale. With the help of the software GaBi 2020, GREET 2020, and other literature studies, the environmental impacts at the construction, use and end-of-life (EOL) phase are evaluated. There are in total 8 scenarios considered, 4 for the fuel-based and 4 for the battery-based propulsion system. The environmental performance of these 8 scenarios are discussed in terms of Globalwarmingpotential(GWP), Acidificationpotential(AP), Eutrophicationpotential(EP) and Photo-chemical ozone creation potential (POCP). Themostpollutingphaseistheusephase for all scenarios. Propulsion system powered by diesel (scenario 1) is considered as a reference for comparative analysis of 7 other scenarios. The best performing system is the one powered by batteries with the assumption of an electricity mix based on hydro, wind and nuclear power, which is scenario 7 and 8 with a net reduction of GWP by more than 98%, AP by 90%, EP by 96%, and the POCP by 96%. If we consider the current Swedish electricity mix (scenario 5 and 6), the decrease in GWP, AP, EP and POCP are 90%, 80%, 82% and 91% respectively. Alternative fuels also present promising results for GWP in comparison to diesel (with the origin of the feed-stock creating mostly negative impacts) but the contribution to other impact categories is significantly higher. With inputs from the industry and the environmental evaluation, the cost assessment compares the costs related to fuel-based and battery-based propulsion systems with different energy sources. For the battery-based system, 3 scenarios are modeled for two different types of Li-ion batteries. The vessels in the developed scenarios are charged more frequently than the existing electric vessel and the number of charging stations is varied. The costs that are included in the assessment are the initial capital cost, the cost for fuel/electricity, maintenance cost, end-of-life cost and emissions cost. When concerning all the cost categories, the battery-based system is more cost-efficient than a fuel-based system, if run on the Swedish electricity mix, due to the lower cost for electricity and emissions. The reduction of cost is more than 68% when comparing traditional diesel with battery-based systems, but the source of the electricity is very important.Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra livscykelkostnaden och miljöpåverkan av de befintliga framdrivningssystemen på pendelbåtarna inom Stockholms kollektivtrafik, med batteridrivna system på motsvarande båtar. De befintliga framdrivningssystemen drivs av olika typer av diesel. Studien är uppdelad i flera steg. Först samlas driftsegenskaperna in, såsom bränsleförbrukning, framdrivningseffekt, hastighet, färdtidochframdrivningssystemetsuppbyggnad, etc, på linje 80, som är en del av Stockholms vattenburna kollektivtrafik. För det andra undersöks det befintliga framdrivningssystemet som drivs av diesel eller alternativa bränslen som RME eller HVO och fullt batteridrivna system utifrån energibehovet. För det tredje tillämpas metoderna för kostnadsanalys och livscykelanalys (LCA) för att undersöka hur elektrifieringen av pendelbåtar påverkar ekonomin och miljön. Med hjälp av programmet GaBi 2020, GREET 2020 och andra litteraturstudier utvärderas miljöpåverkan av faserna tillverkning, användning och avfallshantering. Det är totalt 8 scenarier som övervägs, 4 för bränslebaserade och 4 för batteri baserade framdrivningssystem. Hur bra dessa 8 scenarier presterar miljömässigt diskuteras i termer av växthuseffekt (GWP), försurning (AP), övergödning (EP) och marknära ozon (POCP). Den fasen med mest utsläpp, för alla scenarier, är användningsfasen. Framdrivningssystemet som drivs av diesel (scenario 1) används som referens att jämföra de övriga 7 scenarierna mot. Det system som presterar bästa är det som drivs av batterier, med antagandet att elmixen är baserad på vatten-, vind-och kärnkraft, detta motsvarar scenario 7 och 8 med en reduktion av GWP på mer än 98%, AP med 90%, EP med 96% och POCP med 96%. Om vi tittar på den aktuella svenska elmixen (scenario 5 och 6) så är minskningen av GWP, AP, EP och POCP 90%, 80%, 82% respektive 91%. Alternativa bränslen ger också lovande resultat för GWP jämfört med diesel (där råvarans ursprung skapar mest negativa effekter) men bidraget till andra påverkanskategorier är betydligt högre. Med input från företag och miljöutvärderingen kan kostnadsanalysen jämföra kostnaderna för bränslebaserade och batteri baserade framdrivningssystem med olika energikällor. Det batteri baserade systemet modelleras även på 3 utvecklade scenarier för 2 olika typer av batterier. Fartygen i de utvecklade scenarierna laddas oftare än det befintliga batteridrivna fartyget och antalet laddstationer varierar mellan scenarierna. De kostnader som inkluderas i analysen är de initiala kapitalkostnaderna, kostnaden för bränsle/el, underhållskostnader, avfallshanteringskostnader ochutsläppskostnader. Medallakostnaderinkluderadeiberäkningarna är batteri baserade system mer kostnadseffektiva än bränslebaserade system om de körs på svensk elmix, tack vare de lägre kostnaderna för el och utsläpp. Minskningen av den totala kostnaden är mer än 68% när man jämför traditionell diesel med batterisystem, men elens ursprung är mycket viktig.

Full textAbstract:
Le processus d'industrialisation de la musique en Jamaïque s'articule autour du contexte historique et anthropologique d'un phénomène socio-musical où est mis en œuvre un véritable « esprit d'entreprise ». Suivant un plan narratif qui éclaire les fondements de cette industrie, l'analyse s'inscrit dans deux durées différentes : l'une longue, autour de la naissance et du développement de l'industrie de la musique (du XVIIIème siècle jusqu'à la décennie 1970) et l'autre plus ramassée, centrée sur le parcours du groupe de Bob Marley et les Wailers (1945 à 1980). Ce n'est alors pas le cheminement vers la gloire qui intéresse l'étude mais davantage l'éclairage de la « lutte » du groupe pour exister dans la société jamaïcaineThe industrialization of music in Jamaica is articulated around the historical and anthropological context of a socio-musical phenomenon which has implemented a real "entrepreneurship". In a narrative level that illuminates the foundations of this industry, the analysis register in two different periods: one long, around the birth and development of the music industry (eighteenth century to the 1970s) and the other more compact, centered on the route of the group of Bob Marley and the Wailers (1945-1980). Then it is not the path to fame that interests our study but more the lightening of the group's « struggle »to exist in the Jamaican society

Full textAbstract:
Med en allt hårdare konkurrens om arbetstillfällena för fartygsbefäl krävs det att den arbetssökande att sticker ut ur mängden vid en arbetsansökan. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vad den svenska sjöfartsbranschen värderar av innehållet i ett CV och personligt brev vid anställning av nyutexaminerade svenska fartygsbefäl. Detta har undersökts genom intervjuer med nio rekryterare från olika rederier och managementbolag som anställer svenska juniorbefäl. Genom att söka efter tidigare studier som gjorts angående rekrytering skapades en bredare förståelse av ämnet och dess relevans. Litteratursökningen visade att det finns en kunskapslucka angående hur ett nyutexaminerat svenskt fartygsbefäl bör skriva sitt CV och personliga brev för att vara rekryterare i sjöfartsbranschen till lags. Resultatet av studien visar på vissa mönster i svaren från respondenterna, gemensamt är att det efterfrågas korta CV samt personliga brev med innehåll som är relevant för den sökta tjänsten. Samtidigt visar resultaten att en arbetsansökan tolkas subjektivt och därför i viss mån bör skräddarsys för varje enskild tjänst.As the competition for employment toughens amongst deck officers high effort is required in order to stand out from the crowd regarding job applications. The purpose of this study has been to investigate what content the Swedish shipping industry values most in CVs and cover letters. This was achieved by interviewing nine recruiters from different shipping companies and management agencies that recruit Swedish junior officers. A literature search regarding previous studies concerning recruitment provided a wider understanding of the subject and its relevance for maritime science graduates. The literature search also revealed a knowledge gap regarding recruiters in the Swedish shipping industry preferences about CVs and cover letters. The results of the study show some patterns and tendencies amongst the respondents, common to all of which is a preference of short and concise CVs and cover letters with content that is relevant for the applied position. The results also show that a job application is interpreted subjectively and therefore to some extent must be tailored to each individual employment opportunity.
