Abstract:

A long term generation expansion model for the electricity sector of Sri Lanka was developed in this thesis. The model provides the least cost development pathways to cater the future electricity demand within the user defined constraints that need to be adhered. Starting from the present electricity system of the south Asian island nation, the model spans for the period from 2018 to 2050. Open Source Energy Modelling System (OSeMOSYS) was used to create the model. It utilises linear optimization and minimize the net present value of the modelled system in the entire period. Four electricity e

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the course through which romantic relationships gain meaning in the lives of students at the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Drawing from research conducted with some students from the university in 2007/08, the thesis illustrates the process of investing in relationships, arguing that romantic relationships feature significantly in their imagination of 'a life that is worthy of living.' The story that is related in this thesis demonstrates that, in the lives of the research participants, romantic relationships provide a cocoon for self-development. Arising out of a ne

Abstract:

It is often claimed that education confers a range of benefits to individuals. From realising their thinking capacities to overcoming class boundaries, the outcomes of education are considered especially beneficial for women. Feminist theorists make a direct and strong link between education and female autonomy. Those who critique this line of thinking point to the numerous societal and structural factors which come into play in preventing education from delivering its promises of a world with greater productivity, equality and freedom. However even these critics concur that higher education d

Abstract:

The promotional mechanisms employed in University-Research-Industry (URI) relationships have been considered a strategic factor in the development objectives of the industrialized countries. Such promotional mechanisms are based on recognized conceptual frameworks, which have been carefully examined by researchers. However, little work has been done in this field with respect to problems of less industrialized countries especially in small developing countries. The objective of this study was therefore to compare the URI characteristics and promotional mechanisms of developed countries with th

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study is to analyze the data quality of OpenStreetMap geodatabase in a GIS environment; the case of study is a region of Sri Lanka. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is one of the most well-known crowd-sourced products, providing a global map base thanks to the mapping activity carried out by volunteers all around the world. As the quality of collected information remains a significant concern for the geospatial information community and in geospatial data management, a qualitative and quantitative assessment of OSM data is of great importance, due to the large diffusion and a

Abstract:

This thesis analyses the Tamil minority problem in Sri Lanka in the light of self-determination and state sovereignty. State practice with respect to self-determination is discussed, in particular cases of Aaland Island, Katanga, Biafra and Bangladesh. Historical background, location and composition, as it relates to the Tamil minority problem in the country, are described, and the specific issue of self-determination in the Sri Lankan context of secession is dealt with. The research attempts to ascertain the legal conditions which would warrant secession.

Abstract:

The recent emphasis on the importance of English language teaching and learning in public universities in Pakistan has resulted in the introduction of a new English as Second Language (ESL) programme including revised teaching approaches, content and assessment. However, to date, no rigorous and independent evaluation of this new programme has been undertaken particularly with respect to students' learning and experiences. This thesis seeks to address this gap by examining the effects of the new ESL programme on students' learning experiences, as well as teachers' perspectives and the broader

This thesis describes a collaborative Action Research project that works to improve the quality of English language teaching (ELT) and learning in a public sector university in Pakistan. It demonstrates how teachers and students can take responsibility for engaging in active learning and teaching by developing their roles beyond traditional models of teaching and learning. The findings of the study are validated through critical thinking, the active critique of colleagues and students who participated in the study, reflection on critical aspects of data collection and by contextualising findin

Abstract:

A key feature of recent agricultural extension programs has been the focus on increased participation for local, rural communities in the overall decision-making process. This move towards increasing community participation has raised expectations in terms of communication: communication between central research facilities and rural communities, between rural communities and central research facilities, and amongst the rural communities themselves. In order to provide effective communication along each of these channels, attention is turning to the extension trainers deployed in the field. For

Abstract:

This research explores the international evolution of the policy of integration (formalisation) of traditional medicine in health care systems. This concept first arose on the policy agenda of the World Health Organisation in the 1970s and then re-emerged in 2002 (with alternative and complementary medicines). The history of this policy at the global level and its transfer to national levels over this period is analysed, via the content, scope and outcomes of policy and programme documents. This analysis emphasises the roles of context and stakeholders (specifically interest groups). The conte

The 26 year Sri Lankan Civil War, in which thousands were killed and many more displaced both locally and globally, finally came to an end with the defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2009. However, the war had created a deep sense of mistrust between people of different ethnic groups, destroying relationships and instilling fear for the future, which made the topic of national reconciliation central to political and academic debates. Scholars, however, when writing about the nature of the Sri Lankan Civil War and the attempts at conflict resolution focused primarily on in

Abstract:

Customer satisfaction, from the service quality perspective, has emerged as a new modus operandi for assessing customers’ perceptions and/or expectations of services in order to re-orient and regulate existing services. University library administrators in Sri Lanka, realising the necessity of complying with customer perception of high quality service, have begun to search for alternative ways to satisfy their clientele on the basis of service quality. This study therefore aims to meet this need by developing a model to assess the extent to which service quality indicators and other explanator

Developing economies promote foreign direct investment (FDI) expecting to benefit from foreign technology transfers and long-term technology spillovers to domestic industries. Much FDI does bring in foreign technology; however, not all host economies have succeeded in leveraging FDI for realizing domestic technological benefits. Although much is known about technological effects and absorptive capacities in industrial developed economies far less is known about how foreign partnerships are managed in firms in less developed economies.

Abstract:

Crop disorder incidents such as pests and disease attacks are the major reason of crop losses that require timely actions and can adversely affect agriculture production. In order to address this problem, a model was designed that empowers farmers to identify crop disorder incidents instantly and manage them effectively by providing relevant information in context. In contrast, the existing approaches reported in the literature rely on identifying crop disorders from images that depict the presence of symptoms in the crop. However, due to the inherent characteristics of the images, these appro
