Dzingai, Mathew. "The effect of ion accumulation owing to water recycling on flotation performance." Master's thesis, Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/31601.
Full textAbstract:
With the drive to reduce water usage globally, the mining sector must reassess its water usage as it has in the past contributed greatly to environmental degradation due to effluent discharge, tailing disposal and process water seepage into the water-table. Mineral beneficiation entails different unit operations; amongst them is froth flotation. Froth flotation is a multifaceted complex process which is water intensive and to manage water usage, the global mining industries are now recycling water. The recycled water may contain deleterious ions that affect the mineral surface, pulp chemistry and reagent action, hence the need to establish whether threshold concentrations exist beyond which the flotation performance will be adversely affected. This is of paramount importance in informing appropriate recycle streams and allowing simple, cost-effective water treatment methods to be applied. To better understand the influence of water recycling in flotation, a low-grade Cu-Ni-PGM sulphide ore was used. This study investigated the effects of increasing ionic strength as well as increases in specific ion concentrations to determine whether these selected ions had beneficial or deleterious effects on the flotation process. Copper and nickel were the target metals, floated as chalcopyrite and pentlandite, respectively. Their recovery and grade under different conditions was used as a measure to quantify whether a threshold ion concentration existed. The key performance indicators used were: (a) water recovery, (b) solids recovery, (c) valuable metal recovery, (d) grade of the recovered concentrates and (e) electrical conductivity. While a complex background water chemistry of 3 SPW was maintained for the spiking tests, ion spiking was intended to mimic the recycling of water and the most prevalent ions which would likely be recycled and therefore accumulated, such ions as: Ca2+, Mg2+, NO3 - , SO4 2- and S2O3 2-. These ions were chosen based on speculation from relevant literature that they might impact the flotation performance due to their influence on pulp chemistry and reagent interaction. This was achieved by conducting sequential batch flotation and electrical conductivity (EC) tests. Batch flotation tests were performed to investigate the effect of different ionic strength conditions on the overall flotation performance. The same ionic strengths and spiking concentrations were used for froth (or foam) column studies with a focus on tracking the ion concentration distribution between the froth and the slurry (or solution) by means of measuring the EC of each of the froth and the pulp (solution) phases. The differences implied whether the ions were selectively concentrated at the air-water or solids-water interphases in a 3-phase system or likewise at the v bubble surface or within the solution for a 2-phase system. This distribution of ions was linked to the other key performance indicators. Increasing ionic strength; 3, 5 and 10 SPW respectively, resulted in an increase in water recovery in the order 3 SPW < 5 SPW < 10 SPW, indicating an increase in froth stability due to inhibition of bubble coalescence at high ionic strength. There was, however, no significant effect on the valuable metal recovery. Most of the nickel was recovered in the copper circuit which was expected as on-site conditions were not maintained at the laboratory scale, no lime was added to adjust the pH in the copper circuit and an EDTA chelating agent was not included in the nickel circuit. Spiking 3 SPW with 800 ppm Ca2+ results in considerably higher water recovery per unit solids recovered compared to 3 SPW, 5 SPW, 400 ppm Ca2+, 350 ppm Mg2+, 700 ppm Mg2+. 400 ppm Ca2+ resulted in the highest copper and nickel grade and was deemed the threshold for this study while for Mg2+ threshold lies outside of the range considered for this study. 10 SPW shows a decrease in the copper and nickel grade while the copper and nickel recoveries were not significantly impacted. The presence of the Ca2+ and Mg2+ at high concentrations leads to gangue activation which as a consequence will result in decreased grade. 880 ppm NO3 - gave the highest copper and nickel grade compared to 3 SPW while increasing the S2O3 2- from 60 to 78 ppm resulted in an increase in nickel grade. 1200 ppm SO4 2- and 880 ppm NO3 - were deemed the threshold concentration for these anions, above which the flotation performance declines, while for S2O3 2- the threshold lay outside the range considered for this study. This study has shown that the accumulation of ions within plant water, owing to recycling, is, in general, beneficial to flotation. This study has also shown that there is a concentration for each ion beyond which it is no longer beneficial to flotation. While this finding is clearly ore and ion dependent, it gives an indication as to the need for water treatment and considering the threshold concentrations found, may direct operations to suitable treatment methods for their systems.

Full textAbstract:
The small GTPase Rap1 serves as a critical point in signal transduction, somatic cell proliferation and differentiation, and cell cell adhesion through distinct mechanisms. During mouse spermiogenesis, Rap1 is activated and forms a signaling complex with its effector, the serine-threonine kinase B-Raf. To investigate the functional role of Rap1 in male germ cell differentiation, transgenic mice expressing a dominant negative mutant of Rap1 selectively in differentiating spermatids, have been generated. Throughout the phenotypic and biochemical characterization of these mice we found that interfering with Rap1 in haploid male germ cells leads to reduced fertility consistent with an anomalous release of undifferentiating spermatids within the tubule lumen and low sperm counts. These defects correlated with impaired spermatid-Sertoli cell adhesion, also known as apical ectoplasmic specialization (ES). We thus searched, in spermatogenic cells of wild-type and mutant mice, for the presence of adhesion molecules whose function in somatic cells is known to be regulated by Rap1. We found that male germ cells express vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) with a timing strictly related to the apical ES formation and function. We, thus, identified VE-cadherin as a molecular component of apical ES. In conclusion, we suggest the possible involvement of cAMP-Epac-Rap1 signaling in the regulation of apical ES dynamics. Our findings may have clinical implications for understanding male infertility in man.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.<br>It is rare that Americans wonder about what happened to the Panama Canal after the United States turned it over to Panama in 1999. Since 2000, the Panamanians have been able to transform the canal into a profitable enterprise and successfully revert a good deal of Canal Zone infrastructure to public use through a combination of positive political decision-making, fiscally beneficial economic policies, and constructive management. The United States created the nation of Panama, built and managed the canal, and finally begrudgingly handed over sovereignty. To this extent, Panama's success is our success. Yet there has been surprising little real analysis of the changes in Panama that have resulted from a decade of ownership of the canal and the land surrounding it. It is time to appraise the results so far.

Full textAbstract:
For each of us there is one body which is special, different from all other bodies: the body one conceives of and experiences as one's own. The principal aim of this thesis is to understand what this conception and experience amounts to, and why it matters. I address three main topics: (1) body awareness, body ownership, and the immunity to errors of misidentification of judgements which refer to a body as 'my body' or 'mine'; (2) spatial perception and the knowledge of location we take it to afford; (3) the conceptual problem of other minds and the nature of the basic emotions. Through consideration of these topics, I propose that the conception and experience one has of a body as one's own is as of a recognisably human body. This is so in two ways. I argue that what makes a body one's own is that one is aware of it 'from the inside'. Given this, one can also experience a body as one's own through the outer senses. So the first way that the conception and experience one has of a body as one's own is as of a recognisably human body is that it is human in physical appearance, like the bodies of others. I also argue that the basic emotions are bodily states that one can be aware of from the inside, and in this sense feel or experience. This solves the conceptual problem of other minds. For it makes it possible to understand how the very same type of psychological state one can feel or experience oneself, one can also observe in others. It also provides the second way that the conception and experience one has of a body as one's own is as of a recognisably human body: one experiences one's own body, as much as the bodies of others, as subject to the basic emotions, and so as human in psychology. I conclude by suggesting that this account of one's conception and experience of a body as one's own and as recognisably human points to a perceptual-demonstrative model of self-consciousness and self-reference: in basic cases, T means 'this human'.

Full textAbstract:
Sagebrush-grasslands represent a large portion of the plant communities within the arid plains of the western United States. Grasses, forbs, and shrubs exist as subdominants to sagebrush that vary in density according to disturbances such as fire, wind, and defoliation. Fire is an important modifier of succession in sagebrush-grasslands, and shrub response to fire may be altered by browsing. The fire response of gray rubber rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus (Pallas ex Pursh) Nesom & Baird ssp. nauseosus) has not been well documented. Furthermore, it is heavily browsed in central and northeastern Montana and is an important winter forage for ungulates. This study investigated how it responds to fire and browsing. Fifteen sites (9 burned and 6 adjacent non-burned) in the Missouri River Breaks, Montana were analyzed to investigate relationships between shrub density, time since fire, shrub age, and browsing level (n=15). Density was counted in one 625m &#178; macroplot per site. Gray rubber rabbitbrush age (seedling, juvenile, mature) was estimated using basal stem diameter. A qualitative browsing level was assigned based on growth form characteristics (low, moderate, high). Time since fire was not significantly correlated with differences in gray rubber rabbitbrush (P=0.701, R-sq=0.00%) or sagebrush (P=0.391, R-sq=0.00%) density as a percentage of the shrub community (n=9). As a percentage of the shrub community, big sagebrush density at a site was a good indicator of gray rubber rabbitbrush density (n=15, P<.001, R-sq=68.45). Rabbitbrush decreases within the shrub community as sagebrush dominance increases. Gray rubber rabbitbrush composed a higher percentage of the shrub community in burned than non-burned sites (n=6, P=0.005). Big sagebrush composed a higher percentage of the shrub community in non-burned sites than burned sites (n=6, P=0.001). The percentage of gray rubber rabbitbrush shrubs in the "high" browse class was not a statistically significant predictor of density as a proportion of the shrub community (n=13, P-value=0.161, R-sq=9.49%). Results indicate that gray rubber rabbitbrush responds to fire by increasing shortly after disturbance, falling out of the community at some threshold as sagebrush is re-established. Browsing did not affect the ability of gray rubber rabbitbrush to dominate for a period after fire.

Bellamy, Louis. "George Mason: Slave Owning Virginia Planter as Slavery Opponent?" TopSCHOLAR®, 2004. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/521.
Full textAbstract:
The present work investigates the often cited, but poorly supported, notion that Founding Father George Mason was a wealthy, slave-owning Virginian who vehemently opposed slavery. Utilizing Mason's state papers, letters, and other documents, as well as contemporaries' accounts of his speeches, this work will analyze those records' contextual construction, and it will deconstruct both Mason's written and spoken words and his actions and inactions relative to slavery. The goal of this effort is to determine whether Mason, who ostensibly played such an instrumental role in the development of the "rights" of Americans, and who remained a slaveholder—thereby trampling the rights of others—was truly opposed to slavery. Included in this work are chapters relating to the development of chattel slavery in the Tidewater, Virginia region from its inception and to the Mason family's mounting economic and political prominence, particularly the role of slaves in their attainment of that prominence. Two chapters analyze Mason's state papers, his writings on public matters, his public speeches, and other related material with a view towards determining their nexus with slavery and his role in their development. The final chapter focuses narrowly on Mason's personal relationship with slavery, and it includes both Mason's documents and his personal actions, with his documented actions concerning his own slaves meriting special attention. A portion of the chapter compares and contrasts Mason, Washington, and Jefferson on the matter of slave manumission. The argument is made that despite his consequential role in the development of some of America's revered founding documents, relative to his more prominent Virginia political peers, George Mason has garnered on rudimentary evaluation from the collective pens of more than two centuries of historians. Not only has Mason largely missed the genuine accolades befitting a Founding Father, some historians have simply ignored the contradictions of Mason's slave owning and his presumed abhorrence of slavery. Others have offered little more than a passing mention of Mason's slaveryrelated conundrum. Some have noted his slave-holding status, but then mistakenly considered anti-slavery and anti-slave trade as fungible positions and then proceeded to extol Mason's abhorrence of, and fight against, chattel slavery. Still others have claimed the institution was simply an unwelcome legacy entailed upon him. Mason, as an historical subject, stands under-reported, under-analyzed, often embellished, and generally carelessly considered. In spite of the effusive hyperbole of some Mason historians, this thesis argues Mason's apparently strong condemnations of the slave trade and of slavery were themselves strongly nuanced, and his actions (and, perhaps more importantly, his inactions) toward his own slaves run counter to the conclusive judgment of Mason as a slavery opponent. Nevertheless, Mason's statements and political actions—however tepid, and however nuanced—represent important work against the pernicious problem of slavery by a thoughtful, respected, and politically well-positioned Founding Father. This work will demonstrate Mason was likely neither the prescient anti-slavery advocate, as he is generally regarded among historians, nor fully a self-serving demagogue. Indeed, the definitive judgment of George Mason as a slave owning, Virginia planter, and Founding Father who served as a slavery opponent remains elusive.

Full textAbstract:
Despite an increased awareness of the diversity of gender identities, butch and femme roles continue to be viewed as lesbian stereotypes that reinforce rather than challenge heteronormativity. This study explores how self-identified butch and femme lesbian women define themselves and how their identities influence their sexual/romantic relationships. Interviews were conducted with 20 lesbians who identified as butch, femme, or neither to learn what these identities meant to them. While the interviewees saw their identities as unique, a number of similarities emerged. This thesis analyzes the themes of conflict with a gender binary model, stereotypes of butch and femme, replication of heterosexuality, labeling stigma, family support, and finally romantic/sexual relationships. Women identifying as butch and femme attempt to defy the societal norms of what gender identity and relationship behavior should look like, yet they may unintentionally reinforce heteronormative gender roles.

Whitaker, Wesley. "Owning Our Implicit Attitudes: Responsibility, Resentment, and the Whole Self." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1749.
Full textAbstract:
Are implicit biases something we can rightly be held responsible for, and if so, how? A variety of social and cognitive psychological studies have documented the existence of wide-ranging implicit biases for over 30 years. These implicit biases can best be described as negative mental attitudes that operate immediately and unconsciously in response to specific stimuli. The first chapter of this thesis surveys the psychological literature, as well as presents findings of real-world experiments into racial biases. I then present the dominant model of implicit attitudes as mere associations, followed by evidence that at least some implicit attitudes take on a propositional form and involve making inferences based on evidence. I then reject adopting either of these two rigid models in favor of a dispositional approach that treats implicit biases as on the same spectrum of, but adjacent to, beliefs.
I then evaluate the moral wrongdoing associated with holding explicitly prejudicial beliefs, appealing first to Kantian notions of respecting individuals as agents, then appealing to Strawson’s argument that we are responsible for expressions of our will. Our status as human agents involves participating in complex and sustained interactions with others, which necessarily implies that we take part in the social practice of holding each other responsible for the quality of their will. The reactive attitudes we display in our everyday interactions indicate which features and circumstances are most important when investigating this practice. After applying this approach to implicit attitudes, I then pose the objection that their unconscious and unendorsed nature disqualifies implicit attitudes as proper expressions of our will. I develop this objection using Scanlon’s account of moral responsibility, which requires the capacity to self-govern in light of principles that are generally agreed upon as good reasons for guiding interactions with one another. Finally, I critique Real Self theories that seek to arbitrarily privilege one part of ourselves in favor of the Whole Self, which privileges those features that are most integrated into our overall character.

This tension played a central role in the early years of the Human Genome Project, and continued as people experienced the challenging consequences of assigning property rights to our shared biology. Several patients with genetic diseases were forced to navigate limited or expensive testing because of a company's genetic monopoly. Some scientists worried that their research might infringe a patent.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this Thesis is to determine which set of private law rules ought to apply to the use and storage of bodily material. I recommend that the most appropriate legal approach is through a combination of property rights and duties of confidentiality. The suggestion is that where a healthcare institution obtains possession of bodily material, their possession of the material may give rise to property rights in the material. In addition, where an individual retains entitlements in bodily material that is held by a healthcare institution, the entitlements of the individual ought to be protected through the imposition of duties on the healthcare institution that are akin to duties of confidentiality. This recommendation is the product of two main inquires. The first inquiry concerns which entitlements individuals and institutions ought to be able to exercise in separated bodily material. This involves an investigation into which aspects of the relationship between a person and their body can also be found in the relationship between a person and their separated bodily material. It also involves an assessment as to which societal interests can be served through allocating entitlements in bodily material to healthcare institutions, and how to resolve the conflict between individual and societal interests in the use and storage of bodily material. The second main inquiry concerns the way in which different branches of private law are able to protect entitlements in things. I identify that property rights, rights of bodily integrity and privacy are similar insofar as they protect entitlements through the exclusion of others. Property rights are nonetheless distinct as property law concerns rights than can exist independently of the rights-holder. The recommended approach follows from connecting the different entitlements in bodily material that ought to obtain legal protection with different ways an entitlement may be afforded legal protection.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 127-132).<br>South Africa levies two taxes on an individual in the event of death; namely estate duty and capital gains tax. Much debate exists on whether it is fair for South Africans to pay a "double tax" on the same assets on death. There is also a possibility that the deceased becomes liable for a third tax to foreign tax authorities when owning foreign property. This dissertation specifically examines the international tax issues that may arise on death for a South African with either Greek or Portuguese heritage. There are currently approximately 45,000 Greek passport holding South African residents and approximately 300,000 Portuguese passport holding South Africans. The question asked by many is: "are South Africans who have Greek or Portuguese heritage subject to taxes on death in excess of the South African "double tax" (capital gains tax and Estate Duty) as a result of any foreign taxes payable?" If this is the case, are there adequate relief measures available that can be used to address this inequity? The question is very topical at the moment on account of the current amendments in Greece with respect to the tax residency definition and the increased inheritance tax rates. It is also beneficial to include Portugal in the study as it is known to have less international double taxation issues. In effect if this is found to be true in this dissertation then Portugal can be used as a comparative benchmark, possible solutions can be derived from their policies and if the same problem arises between both South Africa and Greece and South Africa and Portugal it may be indicative of a much larger global tax issue that needs resolving.

Full textAbstract:
Every choice between owning and leasing corporate real estate is unique. Therefore every single case needs to be analyzed very thoroughly. The analysis can be in the form of a cash flow analysis and must be done on both cases: to own and to lease. Factors other than the purely financial ones must also be considered. The way the lease contract is written is very central to the choice between owning and leasing. Almost everything can be regulated in the lease contract. Another factor that has great impact on the decision between owning and leasing is the way one looks on risk vs. return. The result of the cash flow analysis is very dependent on the risk, so it’s obvious that the discount rate has an important role in the decision making. It is the author’s strong belief that the trend is to lease more and own less. This is applicable for private enterprises. Regarding Swedish municipalities it seems to be the other way around. The majority of the municipalities don’t have any plans on selling their real estate. The difference between owning and leasing can be very vague because lease contracts can be written in so many different ways. Therefore there is almost never a clear answer which is best, owning or leasing. My ambition with this text has never been to find a right or wrong, but to analyze the different aspects of leasing and owning real estate.<br>Varje enskilt fall måste noggrant gås igenom för att kunna dra någon slutsats om huruvida det är bäst att äga eller hyra ett fastighetsbestånd. Man måste räkna, med hjälp av t.ex. en kassaflödesanalys, på de båda fallen. Andra faktorer än de direkt ekonomiska från teorin måste även tas hänsyn till. Valet mellan hyra och äga beror till stor del av formuleringen av ett eventuellt hyreskontrakt. I kontraktet går nästan allt att reglera. Hur man ser på och utvärderar risk kontra avkastning är en faktor som även den till stor del påverkar valet mellan äga och hyra. Risken påverkar diskonteringsräntan som ligger till grund för den kassaflödesanalys som måste göras för att utvärdera de olika investeringsalternativen. Trenden, inom den privata sektorn, går mot att hyra mer. Bland kommuner är denna trend inte alls tydlig. Tvärtom så verkar de flesta kommuner inte ha planer på att sälja ut sitt fastighetsbestånd. Eftersom ett kontrakt kan vara utformat sådant att det knappt går att tala om att äga eller hyra, utan något mellanting, så finns det sällan något entydigt svar på vad som är bäst av att äga eller hyra. Det var aldrig min ambition att hitta något rätt och fel på det stora hela.

Full textAbstract:
Private property in the United States arose out of a tradition that emphasized the individual freedom to control holdings without interference from governmental influences. A sharp distinction between society as a whole and individual rights isolated ownership of private property from a notion of the common good. This dualistic framework excludes the possibility for forms of property that do not fall completely into either category. Property ownership attitudes are central to issues that often divide environmentalists and landowners. Property rights must be put in the context to understand the divergence between landowner attitudes and provisions made when the institution of private property was created. Finally, land itself as a type of property should be considered ethically distinct from other forms of property because of the interdependencies of human and nonhuman interests that the science of ecology has revealed.

Includes abstract.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 56-60).<br>This thesis questions how and why certain South African performers habitually and unconsciously shift accent in the performance context. I refer to this vocal action as habitual, unconscious accent-based speech adaptation. This examination is made considering that contemporary voice training at the Drama Department of the University of Cape Town (UCT), where the author locates, does not designate any accent as a criterion for performance. Whilst I do not contend habitual, unconscious accent-based speech adaptation to be language-specific this research is English-based. Habitual, unconscious accent-based speech adaptation highlights three primary concerns: the first I term an 'ossification' of sound producing vocal inflexibility; the second is potential class-based exclusion from the performance context; and the third concern is a need for critical awareness in training and performance, evidenced by the preceding concerns. Despite accent-based speech adaptation paradoxically demonstrating the voice's flexibility, when accent-based speech adaptation happens unconsciously and habitually the real flexibility of the voice is negated producing detachment from the performer's own vocal identity or 'vocal schizophrenia' (Rodenburg, 2001: 81).

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, succession has become a major theme in family business research. Much of the research effort has concentrated on the managerial dimension of succession, often subordinating the importance of other major variables such as family relationship dynamics and the form of business ownership on the succession outcome. Family enterprises are generally conceptualised as a dynamic, evolving systems in which the actions and interactions taking place amongst constituent groups determine the system's outputs. This study aimed to overcome the limitations of examining only one dimension of a system's activities by carrying out a longitudinal holistic analysis of the evolution of the family enterprise system as it went through the process of generational transition. The research for this thesis employed the multiple case study method to investigate the influence of emotional and developmental factors on the ability of business-owning families to make progress with the tasks required to complete a generational transition. Three specific issues were examined: the nature of the task environment facing the family enterprise system over the duration of the transition period; the approaches used by families to address the tasks required for them to move through the stages making up the transition process; and the extent to which emotional and developmental factors prevented or promoted progress being made with the generational transition. The results reveal that families face the same sequence of stages in the generational transition process. However, they differ in their ability to move through these stages, towards closure of the transition period and the achievement of a succession outcome, Importantly, the degree to which individuals and families are able to make progress is related to their ability to manage the anxiety generated during the transition process. Anxiety is created when the structures or network of interrelationships that hold their family enterprise system intact are evaluated and may be dismantled and reconstructed differently for the next stage in the system's development. The study supports the view that anxiety is generated during transition times when developmental pressures for change build up from changes taking place in the life-cycles underway within the family enterprise system. It also supports the view that developmental pressure (such as a crisis) from the business subsystem alone does not lead to transition task activity and progress. Progress in response to business sub-system pressure comes about when the opportunity exists to solve an ongoing adult development problem by implementing a solution to a transition task problem. The ability to manage anxiety was found to be related to both the quality of emotional functioning in the family and the extent to which the adult development agendas of both generations are in alignment. Favourable alignment brought a developmental opportunity for the individuals concerned. It allowed them to do the exploratory work required in order to assess the extent to which the family business could provide part of their life structure for the next phase of their development. However, in addition to adult development generational alignment, the study confirmed that the quality of emotional functioning in the family (their ability to overcome multigenerational patterns of functioning and behaviour) influenced the family's ability to make progress with ownership transfer and other tasks. The study concludes that emotional and developmental influences are mediating factors between the forces for change originating in the family enterprise system and its environment and the ability of those in the system to respond to the need for change and manage the transition process. It also found that families significantly underestimate the nature and complexity of the work involved in the transition process, as well as the timescale and emotional commitment required to complete the transition.

Full textAbstract:
The forest science education at the School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences (HAFL, Hochschule für Agrar-, Forst- und Lebensmittelwissenschaften) uses in-forest education extensively. However, HAFL does neither possess its own forest area, nor does it have a land-lease or other long-lasting contract providing forest access. Therefore, a blended strategy is used to give access to forest areas for teaching purpose. Depending on subject different approaches are used, which are presented here.

My thesis addresses this policy gap. I explore some of the complex historical, political and cultural dimensions that led to the emergence and resilience of this policy problem The failure to address the concerns of Indigenous peoples, and Fourth World Nations in particular, is more important and problematic now because of contemporary biotechnological developments and the emergence of bioprospecting. Bioprospecthg refers to the practice of appropriating biological resources, and Indigenous knowledge of those resources, and incorporating them into biopharmaceutical processes. Literature on bioprospecting as a problematic issue for Third World States has been emerging steadily over the last decade under the impact of the commercialisation of biodiversity, which has become big business for biopha.rmaceutical companies. The unique interests and experiences of Fourth World Nations are not recognised within this literature as significantly different to that of the Third World, and of their encapsulating states.. This study has addressed this significant gap by utilising and developing an analytical approach that uses Fourth World theory, synthesised with elements of Foucault's analytics of power. When combined, these two theoretical approaches provide a new and rich under standing of how dominant 'ways of knowing' and 'ways of owning' have been privileged, while other knowledge and ownership systems have been, and continue to be, marginalised, Eoucault's understanding of discursive power as having the capability to be either, or both, dominant and resistant is important to my analysis, as it accommodates the Fourth World as a discursive site of resistance to dominant power. I posit that richer insights are gained through the development and application of this theoretical framework to the issue of fair and equitable access to biological resources, than other approaches offer. I demonstrate the framework's utility by applying it to a case study on bioprospecting in Australia. Important findings have emerged while tracking the activities of Fourth World peoples on the international stage, and their attempts to challenge dominant power/knowledge structures within political institutions For example, participation at the international level has enabled Fomth World peoples to apply pressure on their encapsulating states to accommodate their interests. This has been furthered through forming alliances with, for example, environmentalists, and through the adoption of the language of effective participation within international fora.. Overall, however, the study found that the participation of Eourth World peoples within international, central state and local state policy processes is not always empowering in challenging dominant interests Instead, the more accurate impression is that at this stage of the discursive policy terrain, it may only create an illusion of participation that actually serves to entrench their disempowerment. This places pressule on policy processes to address and resolve this access issue equitably if social turbulence is to subside, justice be served, and certainty provided for all.

Full textAbstract:
Many studies focus on the housing decisions of younger generation mainly on the households’ individual level such as affordability, house prices, income, interest rate and the relative costs of owning. However, the family financing is also another indispensable factor to affect the decision of home-owning. The home buyers save for several years to accumulate the down payment, but it will be nibbled up by the rising of home prices. Such rapid increases in house prices will make home-owning more difficult for home buyers, especially for first-time buyers. They may seek a loan from a family member to use as part of the down payment in order to achieve homeownership.
Forrest and Murie (1995) noted that family support in home owning may take an important contribution in home-ownership sphere. Moreover, many scholars pointed out that family financing is particularly important where housing prices are high, financial institutions are unwilling to provide mortgage loans or requiring high-ratio of down payment and government subsidies are not available. (Barrios, Colom and Moles, 2013; Engelhardt, 1996; Engelhardt and Mayer, 1994; Forrest and Murie, 1995; Meen, 2013; Mulder and Wanger, 1998; Ost, 2012). In Hong Kong case, parents give a finance support to their children for paying the down payment can be easily found in mass media. More significantly, the number of cases for parents getting direct involvement in helping children for home owning are largely increasing. Looking at the house price was increased 15% in average annually during the period of 2010-2012. Many parents have expectations that the house price will keep rising. If you do not buy it now, then you may not possible to afford this very soon.
In this paper, we will explore how importance the family support for home-owning, the kind of financing modes are adopted for the parent and the reasons for the parent to provide financing support in helping their children’s homeownership.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Housing Management<br>Master<br>Master of Housing Management

This event study analyzes the share price reactions of the owning corporation investors in relation to the Chinese and Korean football clubs' success. Guangzhou Evergrande FC, Beijing Guoan FC, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC, and Pohang Steelers FC are examined which are owned by Evergrande Group, CITIC Group, Hyundai Motors Company, and POSCO Group, respectively. It is assumed that successful events of the football clubs such as winning championships and major players and head coach acquisitions will have a positive boost to the daily returns of the owning corporations. The results are strongest for Pohang Steelers FC but other football clubs also suggest similar trends. The findings offer some tangible support for the assumption that the recent global arms race in transfer spending by football clubs can create value for the owners and suggest that the investments may lead to positive returns.

Full textAbstract:
In dealing with uncertainty inherent to entrepreneurship, the informal new business entrepreneur transitions to formality in an effort to grow, but little research has understood the behavioural decision-making logics used to transition to formality. Entrepreneurial theories such as effectuation are most suited to assist entrepreneurs in venture creation and transitions in the midst of uncertainty, particularly in the volatile South African context.
This study explores the transition process of the informal new business entrepreneur through an effectuation behavioural decision-making logic lens. Through the use of 12 semi-structured interviews with transitioned new business informal entrepreneurs, data was gathered for the purposes of understanding the transition process. The study found that the transitioned entrepreneurs employs a hybrid approach of both causation and effectuation behavioural decision-making logic as a means to transition to formality. Although there is a hybrid approach to the decision-making, effectuation is still the dominant behavioural decision-making logic used by the transitioning entrepreneurs.
The study contributes to understanding the transition process by providing a conceptual framework to guide private and public sector collaborations with informal entrepreneurs in an effort to assist the transition process by practically understanding the hybrid approach adopted by the entrepreneurs and increase the low entrepreneurship rates in South Africa.<br>Mini Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2020.<br>pt2021<br>Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS)<br>MBA<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
According to the conducted survey the majority of municipalities in Sweden own their municipal school premises, and only a few municipalities hire that type of premises. The reason why municipalities own their schools varies. In many cases it will depend on one or more of the following reasons; because of political reasons, because they have "always done so”, because of policies to own social infrastructure, or because it is considered more economically feasible. In theory, the claim that it will be cheaper to own since a private operator requires a premium to make profit, is correct. Traditionally, municipalities have also been able to borrow money cheaper than private operators. Reasons that some municipalities instead choose to rent their school premises is for instance due to the long-term benefits that the renting option brings. A building will for instance be erected faster if the municipality, instead of a traditional procurement, chooses the renting-procurement alternative. A faster erected building can have socio economic advantages. In addition, the municipality does not lock up a large portion of capital in real estate. Similar to private investors, municipalities has a limit for lending of capital. The rent option of community buildings in general, and school buildings in particular, can therefor enable investments in other buildings that contribute to the municipality's attractiveness. More tax revenue leads to the possibility of investing more in social and traditional infrastructure. The study showed no significant cost difference for renting versus owning. With the increased population and need of new school premises it is important that municipalities conduct investment analysis and base their decisions on the option that is most economically advantageous. Allowing a long-term private operator to construct and rent out the new school should therefore be seen as an option for more municipalities in Sweden, municipalities should hence conduct economic comparing calculations for the two options. The economic assessment, and later the action plan for future school constructions, should be based on the municipality's economic conditions. The assessment should also most probably result in a mix between renting and owning schools, to promote, inter alia, competitiveness and quality.<br>Enligt den kartläggning som genomförts framkom det att flertalet kommuner i Sverige äger sina kommunala skollokaler och endast ett fåtal kommuner hyr den typen av lokaler. Anledningen till att kommuner äger sina skollokaler varierar men beror i många fall på en eller flera av följande orsaker; på grund av sitt ideologiska styre, för att “de alltid gjort det”, för att kommunen har som policy att äga sina samhällsfastigheter, eller för att det anses vara ekonomiskt fördelaktigt. I teorin stämmer påståendet att det blir billigare att äga eftersom en privat aktör är vinstdrivande och därför kommer kräva en premie på sin affär. Traditionellt sett har även kommuner kunnat låna pengar billigare än privata aktörer. Anledningar till att vissa kommuner istället väljer att hyra sina skollokaler kan bero på de kort och långsiktiga fördelar som hyra-alternativet frambringar. Det kan till exempel gå snabbare att uppföra en skola om kommunen väljer att utlysa en hyresupphandling istället för en vanlig utförandeentreprenad. Rent samhällsekonomiskt kan det vara fördelaktigt att skolan står klar så snabbt som möjligt samt att kommunen inte låser upp för stor andel kapital i fastigheter. Kommuner har dessutom, precis som privata investerare, ett lånetak som försvårar en alltför stor kapitalanskaffning och med tanke på Sveriges rådande och kommande tillväxttakt kan ett allt för stort fokus på att äga bli en utmaning. Genom att välja hyraalternativet av samhällsbyggnader generellt, och för skolbyggnader i synnerhet, kan möjliggöra alternativa investeringar som bidrar till kommunens attraktivitet och därigenom lockar fler medborgare. Mer skatteintäkter leder till möjligheten att investera ytterligare i social och traditionell infrastruktur. I realiteten skiljer sig inte kostnaderna för att hyra kontra äga märkvärt men med den befolkningstillväxt och befolkningsprognos som i dagsläget beskrivs bör investeringsbedömningen utgå ifrån de alternativ som är mest samhällsekonomiskt fördelaktigt. Att låta en långsiktiga privata aktör uppföra den nya skolan för att sedan hyra tillbaka den bör således vara ett fördelaktigt alternativ för fler kommuner i Sverige. Istället för att göra som man ”alltid har gjort” bör det vara självklart att genomföra samhällsekonomiska jämförelsekalkyler för de två alternativen.

Full textAbstract:
Having a home is one of the most basic human needs and everyone attempts to accommodate this need as well as possible. We consequently decide what approach is most advantageous for our needs - whether to rent a home or whether to buy and own one. If we decide owning a home is the right option, we then have to decide, how to go about purchasing it. Not everyone can afford paying for a property upfront in cash and at that is when banks come into play, lending us money to buy property. This paper focuses on whether having a mortgage is the correct strategy for acquiring a home. This will vary individual to individual based on his or her life goals and other factors. Generally, it can be said that purchasing a home using a mortgage can be advantageous, but the difference between renting and buying on a mortgage might not be that significant. Renting a home does have its own specific advantages, and when one's financial plans are managed correctly, it can be a better option for accomplishing financial independence.

Full textAbstract:
Corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSR/CER) are terms that are often used to brand a company in a positive light. This does not necessarily mean that every organisation implements social and environmental initiatives with the same degree of vigour and commitment. South African property owning organisations are becoming increasingly aware that being socially and environmentally responsible can encompass the design and operation of their buildings. It is for this reason that these types of organisations are searching for ways to implement green building initiatives in their property portfolios. The implementation of environmentally friendly/green initiatives is viewed as Socially Responsible Property Investments (SRPI). Green building initiatives are slowly being adopted by some property owning organisations in South Africa, especially after the formal establishment of the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA) in 2007. Implementation of green building initiatives have been met with multiple barriers by property owning organisations, such as lack of education by the professional team with regards to cost of green features and the processes involved in gaining green certification. Three prominent property owning organisations in Cape Town, two corporate and the other an academic institution were chosen as suitable case studies and analysed. Multiple respondents were interviewed for each case study and asked questions regarding their social and environmental initiatives and to what degree, if at all, they are attempting to implement green building features in their buildings. These questions were used to compare the organisation's actions to the content of its CSR policy. It was found that the adoption of green building initiatives was based on the type of property owning organisation, be it corporate or non-corporate. The property owning type has resulted in differing motives for implementation of green initiatives; however there are some common motives regardless of the company type, such as the financial feasibility of implementing said initiatives. The final results of this research revealed that although there is a small gap between a property owning company's CSR policy to that of its stated social and environmental initiatives, the gap between the CSR policy and its green building initiatives is still relatively large.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aimed to understand smallholder cattle owning households in Cambodia and assess the impacts of research for improved livestock management under the ‘Best practice health and husbandry of cattle, Cambodia’ and the Village-based biosecurity for livestock disease risk management in Cambodia’ projects. On average, cattle-raising was the most important and profitable on-farm activity, providing USD1064 per year per household. Forage adoption significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the daily time spent sourcing feed for cattle by 2.21 hours per day. Partial budget analysis determined forage plot establishment and; 1) forage feeding across the herd or; 2) fattening of one animal over a 6-month wet season period resulted in Net Profits of USD139.01 and USD152.94 per household respectively. Forages provided an entry-point for livestock biosecurity practices to be introduced. When FMD vaccination was delivered at the village level, 85% of households had their cattle vaccinated. However, poultry vaccination continues to be a challenge with low vaccination rates (25 - 30%) for Newcastle Disease, Fowl Cholera and Fowl Pox reported. This research represented a valuable contribution to the understanding of smallholder cattle owning households in Cambodia. Where farmers participated in training, used forages for cattle feeding and implemented biosecurity practices, additional benefits included increased livestock numbers per household (6.6 to 7.0 cattle and 50 to 86 poultry), increased income and improved reputation and relationships in the village. These findings, combined with the labour and financial benefits of forages and improved knowledge and skills, suggest farmers that introduced recommended interventions progressed towards more efficient and profitable livestock production and experienced enhanced livelihoods.

This thesis utilises event studies to measure the impact of League of Legends Esports s teams on the share prices of their main sponsors and parent company, namely, the CJ Corporation, Korean Air, the Kt Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and SK Telecom. Hypothetically, the success of a team, the acquisition of a major player or the beginning of a sponsorship would have a positive effect on the corporation reflected in an increase in the firm’s daily share price returns. Results showed that this was indeed true especially for a team’s success in large competitions such as the SBENU Summer Championships 2015 and the annual World Finals. As such, corporations can benefit from increasing their investments into the scene as a result of the quantifiable win-win scenario apparent for both firm and team.

22 pp.<br>Private horse ownership is not for everyone; owning a horse comes with many responsibilities. You must properly house and care for the horse. This care includes the horse's feeding, health care, and hoof care, but these are only part of the equation. You must also provide housing facilities, transportation, and riding equipment.
This booklet is an introductory guide to the proper care and cost of owning and maintaining a pleasure horse in Arizona. We discuss how to feed and care for a horse as well as all of the associated costs to expect whether you board your horse or house and care for it privately. The publication has two major sections: (1)maintaining and caring for a horse, and (2) budgeting for the costs of ownership and care. There is also an introduction to getting started and a list of additional resources at the end.
