Abstract:

This thesis examines how drug policy and enforcement affect drug manufacturers. The approach taken is a comparative institutional analysis of cannabis and methamphetamine production. I focus on the effects of prohibition, privacy, and clandestine markets on producer behavior for these two drugs and the unintended consequences that result. I demonstrate that cannabis and methamphetamine producers both face substantial transaction costs and that producers alter their behavior to manage these transaction costs. I conclude that cannabis producers can adopt indoor, small-scale operations to hide th

Abstract:

This research explores outcomes for 31 children in 17 families, from parenting assessment work undertaken by the author in her role as an independent social worker, for a local authority between 2006 and 2008. The data collected in the course of the work was used in order to identify themes and patterns across cases, to form an understanding of the common difficulties faced by families in complex child protection cases. The assessments were followed up with interviews with the social workers to find out what had happened to the child or family. The themes arising from these two sets of data ar

Abstract:

This research exposed some of the factors that affected organisational culture and group behaviour in Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) from its inception in 2007 through to 2014, when it became a Bespoke Trading Entity. The factors that were examined included organisationally legitimised personal, social and geographic identity, and linguistic difference and group size. Metaphor was also used by group members to describe the relationship they had with their groups. Group size was another factor that affected group behaviour. Finally, the effects of socio-technical induction and socio-cultu

Abstract:

<strong>Background:</strong> Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 85% of the world's HIV-positive adolescents: an estimated 1.3-2.2 million 10-19 year olds. Adolescents living with HIV face multiple sexual and reproductive health risks: unwanted pregnancies and the risk of mother-to-child-transmission, risk of infecting partners, co-infection with other STIs, and the rising but undocumented risk of re-infection by potentially resistant HI-virus strains. Using contraception, especially condoms, is particularly challenging for all adolescents. It is even more difficult for HIV-positive adolescents due

Abstract:

Sun safe behaviour is a modifiable behaviour and therefore the potential for change is large. Targeted interventions that use multi-strategy or healthy public policy approaches may be successful at increasing sun safe behaviours and creating supportive environments that promote positive health outcomes. This research considered sun safety, and more specifically shade creation, within the domain of public places that integrate human leisure-time exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). It was felt that the potential for behaviour change through the adoption of healthy public policy was probably

Abstract:

Grounded in a constructivist paradigm, this thesis contributes to an emerging body of scholarship on the consumer engagement concept. In this research, the author conceptualises consumer engagement on social networking sites as a one-dimensional behavioural notion expressed by visible manifestations such as likes, comments and shares - referred to by scholars as consumer engagement behaviours. Although studies on consumer engagement in thecontext of social networking sites have increased over the past few years, current research often fails to provide frameworks that would adequately reflect t

Data were gathered in 1983 and 1984 on the Hilsa fishery in the Meghna River in Bangladesh, and on factors related to its seasonal variation, including effort as estimated by weekly counts of fishing boats, and landings as estimated by counts of fish offloaded at Chandpur. Historical data were also analyzed concerning factors influencing annual variations in Hilsa landings from the Padma River of the Ganges (1967-1974) and from the Indus River of Pakistan (1968-1982). Rail shipments were good indicators of landings. No significant relationship was observed between riverine Hilsa landings and f

Plankton communities are important members of the food web in coastal systems and are regulated by top-down and bottom-up controls. This study examined the influence of bottom-up controls, such as physicochemical factors, and top-down controls, such as predation, on the plankton communities in South Bay, Texas. Microalgal photopigments were ascertained by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to determine the relative abundances of major algal classes.

Abstract:

A general lack of biological information is hampering the effective management of Angola’s fisheries. While this lack of information is largely a result of the country’s extended civil war that ended in 2002, the subsequent rapid expansion of fisheries is most likely impacting fish abundance and influencing the biology of this regions fishes. Besides the influence of fisheries, the southern Angolan coastal region is considered to be a climate change “hotspot” due to rapidly (>0.8°C/decade) increasing water temperatures. These changes are thought to drive further changes to the biology of fishe

Abstract:

This thesis is an empirical analysis of the factors that drive the size of the shadow banking sector. Shadow banking, in this analysis, uses the flow of fund measure. Two-way fixed-effects panel regression for a cross section of 26 jurisdictions reveals that shadow banking in emerging and developed markets is driven by different factors. In emerging countries, the growth in shadow banking is mainly associated with increased demand of institutional investors for low risk, high yield investments. In developed countries, the size of shadow banking is related with the state of the traditional bank

Cloud computing is a technology that has gained increasing attention because of its considerable benefits, which include reduced costs, reduced complexity and increased flexibility. To obtain these benefits, cloud computing utilizes existing technologies, such as grid computing, virtualization and web services, for online delivery of scalable information technology (IT) services, frequently on the basis of a pay-per-use pricing model. In 2008, the Gartner Group predicted that cloud computing would reach the mainstream within two to five years. However, in their latest hype cycle for emerging t
