Abstract:
Integral study of brand name translation needs promoting theoretical category system at relevant macro-meso-micro contextual levels. Taken E-C brand name translation as example, this paper establishes an explanatory frame of generation and construction of “meaning-senses” of translated brand name through discussing the macro-meso-micro contexts and their major factors in the process of brand name translation. This research shows that “named meaning”, determined by meso brand contextual factors, should be jointly delivered by micro linguistic contextual factors complying with demands of macro cultural contexts. This research will provide a feasible research dimension for systematic integration of theoretical categorization of pragmatic translation.

Abstract:
Micro, meso and macro are levels or scales that can and may be mobilised in social analysis. This paper aims to contribute to the reflection and discussion, in particular, of the use of the meso level in the apprehension of social reality, in its potential advantages and disadvantages. For this purpose, a document collection and selection was carried out. Furthermore, the authors’ experience in teaching and research in social sciences, especially in the area of Sociology, was also used. This analytical exercise allows concluding that the meso-social level is mobilised in some perspectives, focusing in a privileged way on the group or the organisation as a structure and intermediate process between the other two levels. As for implications, it may be asserted that the meso level only has heuristic capabilities in the interpretation of a particular social context if the other two levels are not neglected in the analysis.

Abstract:
Life in any modern city of the world is concentrated mostly in a particular ever‐changing environment. Micro, meso and macro environments have a direct impact on sustainable urban development opportunities. This may facilitate sustainable urban development or, on the contrary, it may create constraints. Micro, meso and macro environments must be considered as an aggregate of forces influencing sustainable urban development and combining both the factors that have a direct impact and those whose impact is indirectly. This researches aim was to develop a model of sustainable urban development formation by undertaking a complex analysis of micro, meso and macro environmental factors affecting it and to present recommendations for the increase of its competitive abilities.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to advance our understanding of competitiveness. The authors introduce the concept of Competitive Productivity (CP), supplementing shortcomings of traditional understandings of national, organisational and individual productivity which overlook the nature of competitiveness, i.e. outperforming the competition, or at least bettering one’s own performance. The authors offer definitions, components and construct measurements of CP at three levels: macro, meso and micro. Design/methodology/approach A review of the literature was conducted to evaluate the need for combining productivity and competitiveness into one new construct. There are theories that combine these ideas – e.g., the resource-based theory of the firm – but the authors are presenting these concepts differently, or in a novel way. The authors’ focus on CP makes necessary a new group of construct measures which are different from that of the strategy literature: the authors measure an agent’s tendency “to be better than the competition” along multiple dimensions. Based on the CP construct, the authors present three testable models to uncover determinants of CP at three levels (macro, meso and micro). Finally, the work around “emergent property” can be applied to examine CP itself as being a determinant for other higher-order outcomes such as welfare, profits and life satisfaction. CP forms a platform to explore likely interplay (bottom-up and/or top-down mechanisms) within the micro–meso–macro architecture. Findings Three CP models were developed and are briefly discussed in this paper: first, a National Competitive Productivity (NCP) model to capture the components/drivers of national CP (macro level). Second, a Firm Competitive Productivity (FCP) model to capture the components/drivers of firm CP within an industry context (meso). And finally, an Individual Competitive Productivity (ICP) model capturing the components/drivers of CP at the individual (micro) level. Originality/value The study provides a combined approach to capture productivity and competitiveness within one innovative concept: CP. It can be used by government and policy makers (NCP model), managers and organisations (FCP model), and individuals such as workers and students (ICP model) to evaluate and enhance their performance. A better understanding of the components/drivers of CP at the three levels and the suggested measurement of CP should provide a stronger theory of competitiveness of nations, firms and individuals. Not least should a focus on the three levels (macro, meso and micro) better prepare citizens, firms, workers and students to effectively function and work in the marketplace and in society. The authors’ work should eventually contribute to more effective benchmarking and continuous improvement in the competitiveness domain. Crucially, this conceptual paper forms the foundation for future empirical testing of CP components in the context of the relative values and moderated behaviour as captured by the ReVaMB model.

Abstract:
In less than a decade, the cryptocurrency known as Bitcoin has gone from a fringe phenomenon to a topic of increasing interest to academia and mainstream investors. However, despite the growing body of research seeking to understand Bitcoin, the pseudonymous, decentralised, and globally-diffused nature of its user base means that the individuals who use it remain poorly understood. In particular, the motivations, risk-appreciation, and investment behaviours of early adopters and innovators are subject to supposition in the absence of data derived from the user base. This thesis seeks to address this gap in knowledge by employing a multi-stage, mixed methodology approach and a theoretical framework to understand the Bitcoin user base. Utilising semantic analysis, a survey of online cryptocurrency communities, and econometric time-series analysis, this thesis addresses the extent and nature of Bitcoin in hedging; how individual users perceive their own motivations, uses, and risks that have driven their behaviour; and the nature of the relationship between the prices of cryptocurrency and indices of confidence. Analysis of the data determined that the use of Bitcoin as an instrument of hedging is limited, and influenced by political and institutional factors. Likewise, its motivations, uses, and risks are reflective of the users’ political ideology, with the community and marketplace becoming more sophisticated as they evolve over time. Additionally, despite several case studies demonstrating risk-averse adoption of Bitcoin, there is no relationship between its prices and confidence.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to explore policy making process, using Jamaica's National Policy for Persons with Disabilities (2000) as a case study. Pursuance of this case study is an attempt to address a gap in the field of research, as there is a dearth in the existing policy making literature within a Caribbean context. The theoretical approach of this thesis synthesises two distinct schools of thought on policy making process. Using Eaton's thesis, that policy is developed within an extra- and intra-societal environment, the thesis explores how macro, meso and micro factors have influenced policy making process.

Abstract:
Há pouca informação sobre o agronegócio sustentável para biocombustíveis elaborados a partir de oleaginosas florestais perenes, num contexto de sóciobiodiversidade. Na presente pesquisa, foi proposto e aplicado um framework para analisar a emergência, evolução e consolidação de uma filière do biodiesel a partir da macaúba, uma oleaginosa florestal perene, orientada pelo desenvolvimento sustentável. Para isso, utilizou-se a combinação de três abordagens e instrumentos, resumidos a seguir: O primeiro é o metaframework transdisciplinar de Munasinghe (2002), o Sustainomics. O segundo, constituído pela análise de filière, uma abordagem francesa, e suas diretrizes mesoanalíticas: tecnologias, estratégia e relações (MONTIGAUD, 1991). O terceiro, no âmbito da Economia Evolutiva, utilizou-se o framework Micro-Meso-Macro (DOPFER, FOSTER e POTTS, 2004). Essas abordagens e alguns de seus instrumentos foram ajustados entre si, por meio de suas dimensões e elementos integrativos, para proposição de um novo framework na presente pesquisa, intitulado “Cadeia Oleaginosa Florestal Perene Micro- Meso-Macro Transdisciplinar-Sustainomics”, concebido tanto para a identificação como a recomendação de prioridades presentes e futuras para a cadeia estudada. A presente pesquisa é exploratória e qualitativa, na qual foram coletados dados primários e secundários. Na coleta de dados primários, foram feitas entrevistas, registradas em vídeo. Dos 7 elos identificados na filière da macaúba, o estudo de caso abordou os sistemas de produção, adotados e prospectados, no Elo Agrícola e na Agroindústria, no período entre 2004 a 2009, no locus geográfico do município de Montes Claros/MG. Os resultados foram interpretados com base nos instrumentos Matriz de Impacto da Ação, Análise diagnóstica sistêmica da filière e em duas técnicas da Economia Evolutiva: a Trajetória Micro Como um Domínio Analítico e a Análise da Trajetória Meso Genérica. Identificou-se em primeiro lugar, que das 6 empresas que atuam diretamente na filière emergente, no Brasil, nenhuma explora exclusivamente biodiesel de macaúba. Em segundo, existe a possibilidade de um jogo do tipo ganha-ganha no caso analisado, possibilitando simultaneamente “a melhoria da vida das pessoas pobres e o combate ao problema das mudanças climáticas” (MUNASINGHE, 2002). Na analise dos resultados são apontados, a recomendação de substituições progressivas: 1) Do diesel fóssil por biocombustíveis, que tenham ciclo de vida, de fato, renovável; 2) Das matérias-primas de ciclo anual, com baixos rendimentos em biocombustíveis, provenientes de monocultivos, por policultivos de culturas perenes, da biodiversidade dos biomas, com foco na macaúba para o Cerrado; 3) Da monocultura da soja pelas matérias-primas para biocombustíveis oriundas dos recursos florestais naturais não madeiráveis, organizada em sistema de produção agroflorestas sucessionais, com inovação pelo uso nas áreas de Reservas Legais, sustentáveis na forma de campos de produção. 4) Da entropia do desmatamento, pela sintropia; 5) Do biodiesel pelo uso direto – SVO: desatrelar o processo tecnológico agroindustrial equivocado de transesterificação do óleo vegetal para retirada da glicerina do óleo; 6) Dos motores de ciclo diesel não adiabáticos, produzidos e utilizados no Brasil, por novas tecnologias disponíveis: operar com temperaturas mais altas para queimar, como biocombustível, também a glicerina, evitar a desnecessária geração de resíduos. Por fim, o framework de análise para culturas perenes oleaginosas sustentáveis (Cadeia Oleaginosa Florestal Perene Micro-Meso-Macro Transdisciplinar-Sustainomics) utilizado neste estudo de caso, pode ser aplicado para outras culturas similares, com o objetivo de evitar catástrofes bruscas, sem demora, eliminando atividades que ameacem superar o limiar de segurança e capacidade de carga dos ecossistemas da Terra, por meio do aumento de sua resiliência.
There is little information about the sustainable agribusiness for biofuels made from perennial oil forest of sociobiodiversity context. This research aimed to propose a framework and analyze the emergence, evolution and consolidation of a biodiesel filière from Macaúba, guided by sustainable development. For this, it proposes a new model by combinning tree approaches and instruments from the models sumarized as follow: The first tool model is the practical method of Munasinghe (2002): a transdisciplinary metaframework, the Sustainomics, that has evaluative techniques of unsustainable activities. The second is the Filière Method, composed by the following mesoanalitics guidelines: technology, strategy and relationships (MONTIGAUD, 1991). The third envolves levels of Evolutionary Economics, derivatives from the Framework Micro-Meso-Macro (DOPFER FOSTER and POTTS, 2004). These approaches and some instruments used from the models, fit together the dimensions and elements of integration, to propose the mentioned new model entitled as a neologism “Cadeia Oleaginosa Florestal Perene Micro-Meso-Macro Transdisciplinar-Sustainomics”, designed to identify and to recommend urgent priorities in the present and in the future, to the studied chain. This research is exploratory, qualitative, within collected primary and secondary data. Primary data was interviews with video recorded. From the seven rings of chain (Macaúba filière) that were identified, the study case addresses the production systems, some adopted and some prospected, in Agricultural and Agroindustry rings, between the period from 2004 to 2009, the geographical locus of the municipality of Montes Claros/MG. The results were analyzed based on the instruments, as follow: Action Impact Matrix, Diagnostic analysis of systemic filière, and two Evolutionary Economics techniques: Trajectory Micro as an Analytical Domain and Analysis of the Meso Generic Trajectory. It was identified, first, that: the six companies operating directly in emerging filière, none operates exclusively Macaw Palm’s biodiesel. The Second consideration refers that it is possible a win-win game, for the analysed case, making possible coexistence: “improving the lives of poor people and addressing the issue of climate change” (MUNASINGHE, 2002). The results pointed the recomendations of progressive replacement of: 1) The fossil diesel through biofuels, which have life cycle, in fact, renewed; 2) The raw materials of the annual cycle, with low yields of biofuels from monocultures, through polycultures of perennial crops, from biodiversity biomes, focusing on Macaw Palm, for Savannah. 3) the monoculture of soybeans for biofuels, through raw-material derived from Non-Timber Natural Forest resources, organized in successional agroforestry system of production, with innovation for use inthe areas of Legal Reserves, as sustainable production fields. 4) The entropy of deforestation, through the Syntropy; 5) From biodiesel through the direct use - SVO: unleash the technological process of wrong agroindustrial transesterification of vegetable oil to remove the glycerin from the oil; 6) From diesel cicle engines non-adiabatic, produced and used in Brazil through new available technologies: to operate at higher temperatures to burn, as biofuel, as well as glycerin, to avoid unnecessary waste generation. Summing up, the analysis model for perennial crops, oilseeds sustainable (Cadeia Oleaginosa Florestal Perene Micro-Meso-Macro Transdisciplinar-Sustainomics), used in this case study can be applied to other similar cultures, in order to prevent sudden disasters, without delay, eliminating activities that threaten to exceed the safety threshold and carrying capacity of Earth's ecosystems, by increasing its resilience.

Abstract:
Les influències de les institucions informals sobre la família, les empreses familiars i els grups ètnics són immenses a causa de la integració d'aquestes organitzacions en el seu context local, que és on s'originen la majoria de les institucions informals. Malgrat això, quan les institucions funcionen de manera eficaç, sovint suposem que són les regles formals les que condueixen els comportaments dels actors. Tot i això, les normes informals subjacents poden complementar, substituir o acomodar les institucions formals, o també competir-hi. Els estudis previs sobre institucions informals estan dispersos i fragmentats, i presenten les institucions informals com a ambigües. Aquesta tesi aporta llum sobre les institucions informals que configuren la família, les empreses familiars i els grups ètnics d'un país en vies de desenvolupament per produir resultats emprenedors. Una revisió sistemàtica dels materials publicats és un punt de partida vital, ja que permet comprendre i conciliar els estudis existents, i subratllar àrees en les quals falta investigació. La revisió dels materials publicats va seguida de dues investigacions qualitatives. El primer estudi qualitatiu se centra en la religió i les tradicions —institucions informals substitutives— per entendre com transmeten trets familiars i pràctiques empresarials que fomenten o dificulten l'emprenedoria transgeneracional. El segon estudi qualitatiu explora el procés mitjançant el qual un grup ètnic s'ancora en un sistema d'aprenentatge informal —una institució informal en competència— per fomentar la creació de valor intergeneracional i, el que és més important, la propagació de l'emprenedoria. En fer-ho, aquest treball ofereix diverses contribucions que amplien la comprensió teòrica en els contextos de l'empresa familiar, l'emprenedoria i un grup ètnic en un país en vies de desenvolupament. Els seus descobriments poden orientar els professionals i els responsables polítics.
Las influencias de las instituciones informales en la familia, las empresas de gestión familiar y el grupo étnico son inmensas debido al arraigo de estas organizaciones dentro de su contexto local, que es donde se originan la mayoría de dichas instituciones informales. A pesar de ello, cuando estas instituciones funcionan de manera eficaz, solemos asumir que son las reglas formales las que impulsan el comportamiento de los distintos protagonistas. Sin embargo, las normas informales subyacentes pueden complementar, sustituir, acomodar o competir con las instituciones formales. Los estudios anteriores sobre las instituciones informales están dispersos y fragmentados, y presentan a las instituciones informales con un carácter ambiguo. Esta tesis arroja luz sobre las instituciones informales que dan forma a la familia, las empresas de gestión familiar y el grupo étnico en un país en desarrollo a fin de producir resultados empresariales. Una revisión sistemática de la literatura existente es un punto de partida fundamental, ya que permite comprender y conciliar los estudios previos y subrayar las áreas en las que es necesaria una mayor investigación. A la revisión de esta literatura le siguen dos trabajos de investigación cualitativa. El primer estudio cualitativo se centra en la religión y las tradiciones (instituciones informales sustitutivas), para comprender cómo infunden aspectos familiares y prácticas comerciales que fomentan o dificultan el espíritu empresarial transgeneracional. El segundo estudio cualitativo explora el proceso por el cual un grupo étnico queda anclado a un sistema de aprendizaje informal (una institución informal competitiva) para fomentar la creación de valor intergeneracional y, lo que es más importante, la propagación del espíritu empresarial. Gracias a ello, este trabajo ofrece diversas contribuciones que amplían la comprensión teórica en los contextos de las empresas de gestión familiar, el espíritu empresarial y un grupo étnico determinado en un país en desarrollo. Sus conclusiones pueden servir de guía a profesionales y legisladores.
The influences of informal institutions on the family, family businesses, and the ethnic group are immense due to these organizations' embeddedness within their local context, which is where most informal institutions originate. Despite that, when institutions function effectively, we often assume that it is the formal rules that drive actors' behaviors. Yet the underlying informal norms may complement, substitute, accommodate, or compete with formal institutions. Previous studies on informal institutions are scattered and fragmented, and present informal institutions as ambiguous. This thesis sheds light on the informal institutions that shape the family, family businesses, and the ethnic group in a developing country to yield entrepreneurial outcomes. A systematic literature review is a vital starting point as it allows for understanding and reconciliation of existing studies and underscoring areas where research is lacking. The literature review is followed by two qualitative research pieces. The first qualitative study focuses on religion and traditions—substitutive informal institutions—to understand how they imbue family features and business practices that foster or hinder transgenerational entrepreneurship. The second qualitative study explores the process through which an ethnic group anchors on an informal apprenticeship system—a competing informal institution—to foster intergenerational value creation and, more importantly, entrepreneurship propagation. By doing so, this work offers several contributions that extend theoretical understanding in the contexts of the family business, entrepreneurship, and an ethnic group in a developing country. Its findings can guide practitioners and policymakers.

Abstract:
Passadas quase quatro décadas desde as críticas sobre o crescimento econômico, que contribuia para um desenvolvimento insustentável a longo prazo, percebe-se que o problema da ênfase na dimensão econômica em detrimento da socioambiental permanece. Desequilíbrios ambientais continuam sendo evidenciados como consequência da atuação da humanidade. Para Ferreira (2007), as empresas têm contribuído para o aumento destes desequilíbrios. A autora aponta que os eventos naturais afetam a agricultura, a indústria e os serviços. Depreende-se disso que, se a empresa não é causadora direta de todos os males ambientais, ela sofre com eles. Tanto o agravamento dos problemas ambientais quanto sociais aumentou a pressão para que as empresas alterem a forma de conduzir seus negócios. Deste modo, muitas empresas têm adotado práticas ditas socialmente responsáveis para atender essa demanda e para sobreviverem no mercado. Nascimento et al. (2008) evidenciam que, para obter sucesso na implantação de ações, a empresa deve perceber-se como parte de um ecossistema de mercado. Isto implica compreender que as ações não dependem apenas das condições internas e de ferramentas adotadas pelos gestores; elas dependem também da interação da empresa com o macro e o meso ambiente. E, para serem sustentáveis, tanto a empresa quanto as demais partes envolvidas devem se preocupar com as diferentes dimensões do desenvolvimento, além da econômica (SACHS, 1996). Assim, torna-se relevante compreender como a atuação relacionada à sustentabilidade, de empresa modelo em responsabilidade socioambiental e das partes interessadas, impacta no alcance do desenvolvimento? Para tanto, analisa-se a gestão socioambiental da Aracruz, observando a relação com os níveis micro, meso e macro organizacional. A Aracruz Celulose é reconhecida internacionalmente por sua atuação socioambiental e considerada uma das vinte empresas-modelo em sustentabilidade do país. A empresa convive com uma questão polêmica, pois utiliza como matéria-prima florestas. Em contrapartida, declara que trabalha para reduzir os impactos ambientais em seus processos, desde o plantio de árvores, à extração, produção e exportação do produto. Revela, ainda, que considera também os aspectos sociais do processo, adotando postura socialmente responsável para com as diferentes partes interessadas. Por essas razões, considera-se um caso relevante para estudo. Com a pesquisa, visa-se a contribuir no campo teórico e prático relacionado à responsabilidade socioambiental e ao desenvolvimento. Para consecução do trabalho, adota-se o estudo de caso único. Para tanto, analisaram-se materiais institucionais e trabalhos acadêmicos sobre a responsabilidade socioambiental da Aracruz. Realizaram-se entrevistas com o diretor de sustentabilidade da empresa e com gestores envolvidos com a questão. Avaliou-se a relação da organização com diferentes stakeholders a partir de entrevistas com a comunidade, parceiros em projetos ambientais, órgão governamental e prestadores de serviços. Aplicou-se também questionário com os demais empregados da empresa. Como resultado, evidencia-se que a Aracruz trabalha questões de governança, transparência, relacionamento com partes interessadas e aspectos socioambientais e de gestão para alcançar a sustentabilidade. No entanto, a sua atuação é afetada por variáveis do macroambiente, especialmente pela variável econômica. Talvez isto dificulte a contribuição para o desenvolvimento integral proposto por Sachs (1996).
After almost four decades since the critics on economic growth which had contributed to a long-term unsustainable development, it is noted that the problem of emphasis on the economic dimension in detriment of the socio-environmental one still remains. Environmental imbalances continue to be evident as consequence of man's work. For Ferreira (2007), companies have contributed to the increase of such imbalances. The author says the natural events affect the agriculture, industry and services. It can be inferred that if the company is not the direct cause of all the environmental damages, it suffers with them. The worsening of both environmental and social problems has increased the pressures in order that companies change the way they lead their business. So, many companies have adopted the so-called socially responsible practices to meet such demand and survive in the market. Nascimento et al. (2008) say that in order to be successful with the implementation of its policies, the company must see itself as part of the market ecosystem. It implies to understand that actions do not depend only on internal conditions and the tools used by the managers; they also depend on the company's interaction with the macro and meso-environment. And, to be sustainable, the company as well as the other parts involved in the process must pay attention to the different dimensions of development, others than the economic one (SACHS, 1996). So, it's relevant to understand the way the performance related to sustainability of socio-environmental model company and its interested parties affects the attainment of development. For this reason, it's analyzed the socio-environmental management of Aracruz, taking into account the relation with micro, meso and macro-organizational levels. Aracruz Celulose is internationally recognized by its socio-environmental behavior and considered as one of the twenty most responsible companies as to sustainability within the country. The company has a controversial question: forests are its raw-material, but it also declares that it works to reduce the environmental impacts in its processes, from the trees plantation to product extraction, production and export. It also reveals that the social aspects of the process are considered using a socially responsible behavior with the different interested parties. For theses reasons it was considered a relevant case to be studied. This work aims at contributing to socio-environmental responsibility and development at the theoretical and practical fields. It was adopted the one-case study. Institutional materials and academic works on the Aracruz socio-environmental responsibility were analyzed and interviews with the sustainability director and other managers involved with the problem were done. It was evaluated the organization relation with different stakeholders from interviews with the community, partners in environmental projects, governmental body and service renderers. A questionnaire was also used with all the company's employees. After the study, it is clear that Aracruz works with issues related to governance, transparence, and relationship with interested parties and socio-environmental and management aspects to reach sustainability. However, its performance is affected by macro-environment variables, mainly the economic one. Perhaps, it makes difficult the contribution for the integral development proposed by Sachs (1996).

Abstract:
Inter-religious dialogue is an essential means for different faiths and believers to develop friendship and understanding in an increasingly global and multifaith society. Additionally, it could provide for increased levels of social harmony in a seemingly divided yet ever-shrinking globalised world. Islam has a long history with Australia that pre-dates European colonisation; however, research into the nature and impact of interfaith dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims is scarce. To date, there is an extensive gap in the academic record as no comprehensive historical exploration on inter-religious dialogue prior to 9/11 between Muslims and non-Muslims has been undertaken in Australia. Accordingly, it is envisaged that this will be the most comprehensive research on the topic to date. Uniquely, through the application of the sociological population-level constructs of micro, meso and macro-level analysis this research has looked for evidence of cyclical patterns of inter-religious dialogue over Australia’s long history and contact with Islam. A key question for this research is how, if at all, have different sociological levels of dialogue, as represented in the public and private record, contributed to meaningful social harmony? It is hoped that this historical enquiry will place some light on past paradigm shifts in interfaith relations and assist in the future of interfaith dialogue in a uniquely Australian context. Using the public record, along with other related academic works, this research has analysed the available evidence to establish the sociological levels of interfaith dialogue that existed in Australia up to 2001. A brief overview of the history of global and local inter-religious dialogue has been provided that includes the approaches taken by the various religions as outlined in the sacred texts, the Torah, Gospels and Qur’an. It also looks to outline the changes that have occurred surrounding religion in Australia over time. Initial research has demonstrated levels of micro and meso-level dialogue in the pre-colonial period between the Muslim Baijini, Macassans and Australia's Indigenous peoples. Following colonisation, this dialogue largely disappeared and was replaced by a period of mutual monologue, enforced by the dominant Christian hegemony, notwithstanding the contribution by members of the Islamic community to the exploration and construction of modern Australia. Despite the effects of the Immigration Restriction Act (1901), Muslims continued to migrate to Australia and integrate into the community, including those from British India and Albania. Many kept their religious beliefs and thrived in several Australian towns through the 20th Century. As the century progressed, so did the growth of the Australian umma, with migrants arriving from Turkey, Lebanon, Bosnia, Indonesia, the Middle East and North Africa. Through a critical historical analysis of the public and private records, this research has looked to illustrate to true nature of the sociological levels and effectiveness of dialogue from the first contact with Islam, sometime before the 17th Century until the beginning of the 21st Century. Importantly, the key contribution of this research has also found that the levels of dialogue have been measurable and over time, cyclical in nature, when measured using the sociological constructs of micro, meso and macro. Additionally, this research has uncovered the importance of ecumenical dialogue as a precursor to any meaningful inter-religious dialogue, largely driven by the Catholic Church’s Declaration Nostra Aetate in 1965. Other aspects of the findings include, the need for a critical mass, some form of organisation and favourable political conditions. Finally, shortcomings and suggestions for further avenues of research are discussed.

Abstract:
This thesis gains an insight into advertising and integrated marketing communications with an exploration of the relationships between advertisers and consumers at the meso level of interface between the two groups. As an initial investigation into advertising and integrated marketing communications and its relationships to consumers’ behaviour, the inquiry develops by exploring an alternative lineage of interpretive consumer research. The two areas of focus emerging from the literature review are the concepts of manufacturing consent (Herman and Chomsky, 2002) as the macro advertiser/sender level of behaviour and the concept of motivational behaviour research (Tadajewski, 2006) as the micro consumer/receiver level of behaviour. The study utilises a mixed methods research design to explore the interface between advertisers and consumers. From the analysis of the commonalites and variances within the data, a mapping of behaviour between the two groups presented a new and unexpected set of interactions. Interactions that reflect the Foundation Premises within the work of Vargo and Lush (2008) by developing an emergent conceptual model.

Abstract:

Change and stability are critical to the sustained competitive advantage of organizations. Emerging research shows the relationship that exists between human agency and institutions, but also the inter-relationship to the dynamic of change and stability. This study examines the concepts of stability and change in regard to organizational change and institutional theory, and the influence of macro- and meso-structuring mechanisms in processes of institutional reproduction and change. Specific reference is made to institutional orientations toward stability and change as primary dimensions in the analysis of micro-level explanations that contribute to understanding adoption of new organizational practices.

This participative mixed-methods study was conducted in 12 community rehabilitation programs within New York State. It showed how both agency and institutional orientations toward stability and change are influenced through structuring mechanisms, and can be identified and discerned through patterns. The depiction of these orientations were identified by conceptual mapping and pattern matching, a research method emerging in both the change and institutional theory research. The new understandings gained regarding these agency and institutional orientations will contribute to new insights as to how micro-level actions occur and contribute to macro-institutional orientations toward stability and change. This study also supports the conclusion that macro- and meso-structuring mechanisms can become strange attractors which limit organizational potential for change, and that gaining an understanding of these attractor cages can assist organizations in mapping alternative futures.

Abstract:
Benthic diatoms, photoautotrophic, silicate plated, single-celled aquatic organisms dwelling on substrates, have been used in bioindication, since they are good indicators of ecological water state. In this thesis, we have used a multi-scalar approach to observe how diatoms from Spanish Mediterranean rivers are affected by the characteristics of the habitats they live in. These organisms were observed under a taxonomic-indicative, functional-grouped and morphometric prism. The samples stem from Mediterranean rivers pertaining to either the Ebro Basin, or jurisdictions of the Catalan rivers or the Júcar authorities. Ebro samples have a fundamental importance, due to their temporal frame of 10 years, which has permitted the establishment and observation of changes in diatom communities and their characteristics. Two experimental setups, comparing differing water compositions and hydrological characteristics, were made in the other basins. The structure of this thesis takes a gradual decrease in observation range. The macro-scale: chapter studied benthic diatom communities from the Ebro River Basin taxonomically, based on samplings ranging 10 years. We studied if diatom communities were maintained in time, or what parameters could help to the establishment of ecoregions. This study showed that the ecotype division of rivers established by the Water Framework Directive (WFD) did not reflect diatom assemblages well. A double approach of physico- chemical and diatom-sociological aggregation can create a better mirror of diatom communities, thus improving ecoregions for diatoms. The meso-scale chapter investigated the Segre, Ebro tributary, observing the relationship between land use and diatom assemblages and indicator values. Land uses have a direct effect on river water composition. Thus, a link between upstream land cover and diatom assemblages was expected. The results show that only the predominant covers affect both the composition of the diatom community and indicator values. Structural Equation Modelling comparisons have established changes in the importance of physicochemical parameters through time and depending on diatom community structure. Diversity indices and bioindicator values were affected mostly by physicochemical composition, and tangentially by land cover. In the micro-scale chapter, the reaction of diatoms at each site was studied. To do this, we parted the chapter in three sections, two life form experiments to observe how physicochemical composition and hydrology affect life forms, and how morphometry can be affected through abiotic parameter variation in time. The first, made in the Llobregat Basin, was an experimental approach to ascertain the effect of intrinsically different sites on diatom life forms and ecological guilds and the change when these communities are translocated. This showed that, although the physicochemical parameters seemed to favour functional groups, changing the community into a different site could still maintain some of the characteristic life forms. Then, a comparison of functional structure of the diatom community in temporary rivers (that lose part or the totality of its surface water) of Mediterranean basins along the northeast coast was made. It showed that the hydrological regime (connectedness of the stream in total) had a bigger impact than aquatic state (water quantity present at time of sampling). The disconnection of streams also affected the use of conventional diatom bioindicators that will be addressed in the future. Finally, in this microscale prism, we automatically photographed samples from the Ebro River to extract diatom morphometry features. Relating these to physicochemical parameters of each site and their temporal variability, we saw that diatom sizes are affected by water composition. The surface-to-volume ratio (S/V) was highly correlated. An up to now neglected parameter, diatom width, was highly affected by physicochemical parameters. This thesis attempted to establish how diatoms and their traits are affected by their surroundings, observing the effect of abiotic parameters, such as physicochemical composition, land use, and substrate characteristics.
Las diatomeas bentónicas son organismos fotoautotróficos unicelulares, acuáticos y colonizadores de sustratos, que se han usado en bioindicación por ser buenas indicadoras del estado ecológico del agua. En esta tesis hemos estudiado cómo las diatomeas de ríos ibéricos mediterráneos se ven afectadas por la ecología del medio donde habitan, a diversas escalas. Estos organismos se estudiaron a nivel taxonómico e indicativo, funcional y morfométrico. La estructura de esta tesis sigue una aproximación a la reducción de escala de trabajo. El capítulo de macro-escala se basó en una investigación de las comunidades bentónicas epilíticas de las diatomeas del río Ebro, en base a muestreos realizados a lo largo de 10 años. Este estudio se ha demostrado que la división en ecotipos fluviales establecida para el seguimiento de la Directiva Marco del Agua (DMA) no coincide con la diversificación delascomunidades deestosorganismos. Nuestrosresultados apuntanqueunaaproximacióndoble (composición físico-química y estructura de la comunidad) puede reflejar mejor la realidad para las diatomeas. En el capítulo de meso-escala se investigó el río Segre con la finalidad de establecer las relaciones entre los usos del suelo y las comunidades de diatomeas y valores de los índices de diatomeas. Los usos del suelo afectan directamente a la composición del agua fluvial. Por ello, se esperaba una correlación entre el uso del suelo aguas arriba de las comunidadesde diatomeas estudiadas. Los resultados muestranque únicamentelos usos mayoritarios afectan la composición las comunidades de diatomeas y los valores de los índices diatómicos. En el capítulo de microescala se estudió la reacción de las diatomeas en cada punto. Para ello el capítulo se dividió en tres secciones. Un experimento observó el efecto de puntos intrínsecamente diferenciales sobre las formas de vida, y cambios de estas tras su translocación. La otra sección comparó la composición funcional de la comunidad de diatomeas en ríos temporales, que sufren pérdida parcial o total del agua superficial. Finalmente, aún en microescala, se fotografiaron automáticamente muestras de diatomeas del río Ebro para calcular sus características morfométricas. Estas se relacionaron con los parámetros fisicoquímicos de cada punto y con su variabilidad temporal. El resultado fue una clara afectación de tamaños valvares según la composición del agua. La relación superficie-volumen estaba altamente correlacionada y la anchura valvar, obviada hasta ahora, se vio afectada por los parámetros fisicoquímicos.

En aquesta tesi hem estudiat com les diatomees de rius ibèrics mediterranis es veuen afectades per l’ecologia del medi al que habiten a diverses escales. Aquests organismes es varen observar a nivell taxonòmic-indicatiu, funcional i morfomètric. L’estructura d’aquesta tesi segueix una aproximació a la reducció d’escala de treball. El capítol de macro-escala es basà en una investigació taxonòmica de les comunitats bentòniques epilítiques de diatomees del riu Ebre, basat en mostrejos realitzats al llarg de 10 anys. Aquest estudi ha mostrat que la divisió d’ecotips fluvials establerta per a el seguiment de la Directiva Marc de l’Aigua (DMA) no coincideix amb la diversificació de les comunitats d’aquests organismes. Els resultats assenyalen que una aproximació doble (composició fisicoquímica i estructura comunitària) podria reflectir millor la realitat per a les diatomees. Al capítol de meso-escala s’estudià el Segre per tal d’establir les relacions entre els usos del sòl, les comunitats de diatomees i els seus valors indicadors. Els usos del sòl afecten directament a la composició de l’aigua fluvial. Per això, s’esperava una correlació entre els usos del sòl aigües amunt de les comunitats de diatomees estudiades. Els resultats mostren que únicament els usos majoritaris afecten els la composició de les comunitats de diatomees els i valors dels índexs diatòmics. El capítol de micro-escala investigà la reacció de les diatomees a cada punt. Per això, el capítol es dividí en tres seccions. Un experiment observà l’efecte de punts intrínsecament diferencials sobre les formes de vida i canvis d’aquests després de la translocació. L’altra secció comparà la composició funcional de la comunitat de diatomees a rius temporals, que pateixen la pèrdua total o parcial de l’aigua superficial. Finalment, seguint a la micro-escala, es fotografiaren les mostres del riu Ebre automàticament per calcular les seves característiques morfomètriques. Aquestes es relacionaren amb els paràmetres fisicoquímics de cada punt i la seva variabilitat temporal. El resultat fou una clara afectació de mides valvars segons la composició de l’aigua. La relació superfície-volum estava altament correlacionada amb les variacions fisicoquímiques i l’amplada valvar, obviada fins ara, era afectada pels paràmetres fisicoquímics.

Abstract:
The relative surface accuracy (surface roughness/feature size) of meso/micro parts fabricated by emerging meso/micro manufacturing processes is generally worse than that of macro parts fabricated by conventional processes. Meso/micro parts have unique tribology issues and surface roughness strongly impacts their performance, hence there is a demand for effective polishing of their complex shapes. A laser micro polishing method based on rapid surface micromelting is described. To develop a fundamental understanding of the underlying processes, a nickel sample was fabricated using silicon-based microfabrication and electroplating techniques. Results demonstrating the effectiveness of laser polishing using a pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser are presented. These results show that brief (200–300 ns) laser pulses can significantly improve the sample surface roughness (Ra). Additionally, by examining surface profile data in the spatial frequency domain it is clear that using pulses (up to 300 ns), laser polishing can effectively remove surface roughness features greater than 200 mm−1 in spatial frequency.

Abstract:
The relative accuracy (accuracy/overall dimension) of meso/micro parts (e.g. dies/molds) generally is far worse than that of macro parts fabricated by conventional manufacturing processes. Meso/micro parts have unique tribology issues, and surface roughness strongly impacts their relative accuracy and performance. There is a high demand for effective polishing of complex shapes in meso/micro engineering. A laser micro polishing method based on rapid surface micro melting is described in this paper. Fundamental understanding of pulse laser micro melting is achieved through a combination of studies of analytical modeling, numerical simulation and experimentation. It is found that a power limit window exists for laser polishing. In the experimental study, a Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 355 nm and a pulse of 10 ns is used to polish patterned electroplated nickel surfaces. The experiments show an improvement of surface roughness with repetitive rapid micro melting. These preliminary results show improved surface roughness can be achieved and that laser micro polishing is a viable methodology for automated polishing of 3-D meso/micro complex surfaces of metallic parts.

Abstract:
Low- and middle-income countries around the world face a profound educational challenge. At stake in meeting this challenge is their ability to participate effectively in an increasingly interdependent global economy, society, and polity, and to meet many other goals set out in the International Declaration of Human Rights. Turning the current challenge into an important opportunity will, by definition, require significant improvements in the productivity of national education systems. Productivity changes on this scale require innovations at all three levels of the national systems: micro (classroom pedagogy), meso (school and district management), and macro (national politics and policy) levels. This paper sets out principles for designing a process initiated and supported at the national level that can animate, guide, and evaluate the varied innovations that will help national government meet their educational goals along a path that supports their economic, social, and political goals as well.

Therefore, other approaches are needed to prevent, minimise, or replace harmful substances. One possible approach is this master thesis which deals with the challenges that the textile importer DELTEX is facing with regard to a transparent communication of chemicals used and contained in the product in its supply chain. DELTEX is bound by legal regulations and requirements of its customer and must ensure that there are no harmful substances in the garments. For each order, the customer requires a chemical inventory from DELTEX which contains the chemical substances and formulations used (so-called "order-wise chemical inventory"). Currently, the suppliers are not willing to pass this on to DELTEX. As a result, DELTEX is faced with the problem of having no knowledge of the materials used in the garments and is thus taking a high risk. The structure of this study is based on the transdisciplinary "delta analysis" of the Society for Institutional Analysis at the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt. This compares the target state with the actual state and derives a delta from the difference. Based on this, suitable design options are to be developed to close the delta. The study defines the target state on the basis of normative requirements and derives three criteria from this, which can be used to measure design options. By means of guideline-based interviews with experts, an online survey and literature research, it examines the current state. The analysis shows that the relevant actors are in an unfavourable incentive and barrier situation. The textile supply chain can be seen as a complex construct in which a whole series of production sites (often in developing and emerging countries where corruption and low environmental standards exist) carry out many processing steps. Chemicals are used at almost all stages of processing, some of which have harmful effects on people and the environment. At the same time, factory workers in the production countries are under enormous price and time pressure and often have insufficient know-how about chemical processes. DELTEX is dependent on its main customer and therefore has little room for price negotiations. To close this delta, the study formulates design options on macro, meso and micro levels and measures them against the developed criteria. None of the measures completely meets all the criteria, which is why a residual delta remains. The study concludes that not one, but rather a combination of several design options at all levels can achieve the target state. For DELTEX, an alliance with other textile importers, membership in the Fair Wear Foundation, strengthening the relationship with its suppliers and cooperation with another customer are recommended. Furthermore, the use of material data tools that support proactive reporting approaches such as a Full Material Declaration is recommended. The study is carried out from the perspective of the textile importer DELTEX. The results can therefore only be applied to the entire textile supply chain to a limited extent.
