Abstract:

The world we live in is increasingly complex, interconnected and unpredictable. We face social and technological challenges, which must be overcome through the maintenance and redesign of existing systems, as well as the design and integration of new systems. Each of these systems has stakeholders at different levels and across domains, from those governing societies, to technical experts working on well-defined tasks. These stakeholders generally want their system to survive, or even thrive, in the face of uncertainty and unexpected influences. To describe this desire, people, from politician

Abstract:

Water is key to life on Earth. The distribution and quantity of precipitation controls the availability of water, yet little is known about past changes in precipitation. This is especially true at regional scales. The land region of the Northern Hemisphere, especially the mid-latitude region, offers an ideal opportunity to compare and contrast output from climate models with our longest and most comprehensive precipitation observations. This thesis develops current understanding, with the aid of climate models, to attribute changes in global mean precipitation to known key forcings. Perhaps t

Abstract:

The prevalence rates of childhood obesity are at an all-time high. Alongside this worldwide problem is the important issue of weight-related stereotypes. As well as growing up with these, children are also experiencing societal pressure to be ‘thin’, which is influencing many children’s desire to change their body shape and size. At a time when children are measured and weighed in schools and healthy living initiatives are common, this study aimed to engage young children in conversations about weight change. Specifically, children’s understanding of how weight loss and weight gain are achieve

Abstract:

While many studies have been carried out on organizational culture, leadership, conflict and change, mostly from an instrumentalist perspective, studies have left unanswered the question of how they are related.

By considering organization culture (and its sub cultures) as being configured by multiple narratives; leaders as enacting or developing narratives; conflict as the attempt by one or more persons to impose their narratives on others as the correct interpretation of a given s

Teacher commitment is one of the key elements in education and is arguably becoming an increasingly important factor. The work teachers engage in on a daily basis is complex and demanding and requires a level of personal engagement and commitment. With the escalating demands and new challenges inherent in the current educational climate, what it means to be a committed teacher is also changing. It has become imperative to gain further insight into teacher commitment due to its close association with concepts such as quality of teaching, teacher adaptability, teacher attendance, teacher burno

Climate change is a complex problem. Approaches to understanding climate change risk and preparing for its management include assessments of biophysical changes, the influence of public risk perceptions on support for policies aimed at adapting to these changes, and analysis of the governance structures charged with developing and implementing climate action plans. Climate change issues, however, are often approached from a disciplinary perspective and there are few studies examining how climate risk is viewed from multiple perspectives in a particular locale.

Within the current mathematics teacher population there are teachers that want to change from traditional teaching styles to become more reform-oriented (i.e. focusing on student understanding rather than procedures). Many of these teachers do not know how to begin this change. This research looks into the tools that are most valuable for teachers as they change from traditional teaching practices to include more reform-oriented teaching practices. Through this phenomenological study, six successful reform-oriented teachers were interviewed to understand what tools they found to be most valuab

In this thesis I argue for consideration of an anticipatory level of sensemaking that influences how individuals think about and respond to organisational change. In asking how knowledgeable agents understand an altered environment, I adopt a holistic view of organisational and cognitive sensemaking literatures, to produce a sensemaking template identifying four key relational influences: Equilibration, Intentionality, Temporal Context, and Knowledge Structures. The sensemaking template is used to inform the design of an interpretive study. A single local authority in the West Midlands region

Is the tradition of women’s marital name change just some sort of inertia or drag, which will slowly disappear as modernity progresses, or does this tradition fulfil more contemporary roles? Are women and men just dupes to tradition, or alternatively do they use tradition to further their aims? We examine how different approaches - individualisation theory, new institutionalism and

Institutional reform, or the review and restructure of state institutions, is broadly accepted as an element of transitional justice in both scholarship and practice. Nevertheless, discussion of institutional reform in transitional justice shows little consistency or coherence either in the institutions targeted for reform, nor in the objectives which institutional reform is said to pursue. The thesis identified conceptual confusion in the objectives attached to institutional reform in transitional justice, which move unsystematically between the pursuit of (1) past-focused accountability, (2)
