Abstract:

Self-guided recreational visits to protected areas can involve exposure to a variety of environmental hazards and the risk of injury or death. Accidents and incidents occurring in these areas may be followed by litigation actions against managing authorities. If visits to national parks are framed as managed tourism and recreation products, do visitors expect that natural park experiences are safe? The thesis is a ‘PhD by publication’ comprising five original journal articles. The first paper explores responsibility for safety from the perspective of protected area management agencies in A

Abstract:

Many prey species exhibit antipredator responses in the presence of humans. These responses may lead in turn to behavioral modification and spatiotemporal avoidance strategies that may have implications for long term population dynamics. Our research was developed to measure the potential effects of backcountry recreation on the behavior and distribution of desert bighorn sheep in the Pusch ridge Wilderness Area (PRWA), Arizona, USA. Human use of the PRWA was quantified across the study site using real time observer field counts and modeled use metrics derived from motion activated trail camer

Abstract:

College students with visual disabilities are less likely to graduate than their sighted counterparts. The purpose of this study was to understand the life experiences of successful college students with visual disabilities. Concepts of risk and resiliency were used as a conceptual framework for understanding how people can have positive outcomes in spite of adversity. Individual, family, school, and community influences were explored. In-depth interviews were conducted with six participants who have vision impairments and were nearing the completion or had recently completed a college degree.

Abstract:

This thesis takes as its subject vision and risk in the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins, 1844-1889. Because Hopkins's poetry displays so evident a fascination with the particulars of language, it is unsurprising that the critical tradition on his work has thus far been heavily dominated by matters of sound: by the verbal, the rhythmic, the musical, and the aural. However, in this thesis I move from the sounded to the seen, identifying in Hopkins's work a central preoccupation with the visual, with looking and seeing, and the possibilities and dangers inherent in each. Here was a man driven to lo

Abstract:

The Saudi Government’s 2030 Vision directs local banks to increase and improve credit for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) of the economy (Jadwa, 2017). Banks are, however, still finding it difficult to provide credit for small businesses that meet Basel’s capital requirements. Most of the current credit-risk models only apply to large corporations with little constructed for SMEs applications (Altman and Sabato, 2007). This study fills this gap by focusing on the Saudi SMEs perspective. My empirical work constructs a bankruptcy prediction model based on logistic regressions that cover

Mobile surveillance systems play an important role to minimise security and safety threats in high-risk or hazardous environments. Providing a mobile marine surveillance platform with situational awareness of its environment is important for mission success. An essential part of situational awareness is the ability to detect and subsequently track potential target objects.Typically, the exact type of target objects is unknown, hence detection is addressed as a problem of finding parts of an image that stand out in relation to their surrounding regions or are atypical to the domain.

Abstract:

Cataract is a leading cause of vision impairment in the older population. Although cataract surgery can restore sight, it is not uncommon for people in Australia to wait up to three years for first eye surgery; an initial two years for outpatient assessment and a further 12 months on the surgical wait list. The consequences of waiting for surgery encompass physical, mental and social domains, compromising an older person’s quality of life, and limiting active ageing. However data describing these effects in older Australians with cataract are scarce, hindering policy change to support timely

Furthermore, many of these modifiers also affect the nighttime mobility of older drivers, who avoid driving during the nighttime.

Notre thèse s’inscrit dans la lignée d’un premier travail de recherche durant lequel nous avions mis en évidence le recours par les préventeurs à l’accommodation de certaines consignes au cours des visites de sécurité. Ce résultat a suscité de nouveaux questionnements quant aux conséquences de ce phénomène sur leur santé mais aussi sur les performances du système de management de la sécurité. Notre travail de thèse s’est ainsi centré sur la caractérisation des difficultés rencontrées par les préventeurs lors des séquences de résolution de problèmes initiées par la mise en évidence d’écarts à l

Abstract:

PURPOSE. Gait during obstacle negotiation is adapted in visually normal subjects whose vision is temporarily and unilaterally blurred or occluded. This study was conducted to examine whether gait parameters in individuals with long-standing deficient stereopsis are similarly adapted. METHODS. Twelve visually normal subjects and 16 individuals with deficient stereopsis due to amblyopia and/or its associated conditions negotiated floor-based obstacles of different heights (7-22 cm). Trials were conducted during binocular viewing and monocular occlusion. Analyses focused on foot placement before

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the opportunities and difficulties that can occur in the creation of an innovation arena concerning sustainable city solutions. A case study was conducted of the Stockholm Royal Seaport project and a model for the management of an innovation arena was created. Three critical factors were discovered which were commitment, collective risk taking and trust and their connection to the overall common vision for an innovation arena. Conclusions after analyzing the critical factors was that clear contracts needs to be established and that third party involvement in the process o

Abstract:

Whilst exercise therapy has been found in trials to reduce fall rates in older people, not all exercise interventions have been found to be equally effective in preventing falls or reducing fall risk factors. Older people who have recently been discharged from hospital are at an increased risk of falling, but they are a population that has not been well studied in interventional trials. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different types of exercise therapy on fall risk factors in older people recently discharged from hospital, using a randomised controlled trial.

The main experimental work of this thesis has been a cross-sectional study of the prevalence of refractive error and its biometric correlates in Middle Eastern adults. In addition dynamic accommodative responses and twenty-four hour axial length fluctuations were investigated in young myopic adults. The prevalence of myopia in 3000 Middle Eastern adults (age range 17-40 years) was similar to previously reported levels of myopia in the West. Myopia was associated with a higher level of education, occupations with a high nearwork demand and positive family history of myopia; all of which have

Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o processo de desenvolvimento de um programa de visita domiciliar para adolescentes gestantes e mães, implementado pelo Núcleo de Estudos da Violência da Universidade de São Paulo (NEV/USP). O local inusitado em que este programa tem origem um núcleo de pesquisas que tem como seu principal eixo de trabalho a relação entre democracia e direitos humanos, possibilitou que alguns conceitos, muitas vezes implícitos nas práticas de intervenção, fossem questionados e revistos a partir de questões relacionadas à cidadania, direitos e a democracia.

Abstract:

Varje år åker Sveriges räddningstjänster på cirka 6000 larm om brand eller brandtillbud i bostäder med följd att även cirka 100 personer omkommer årligen i sina hem. Att det är cirka 100 personer som omkommer varje år är något som ses som ett problem då det oftast är okunskap eller begränsande möjligheter att undsätta sig själv i säkerhet som ligger bakom bränderna och dödsfallen. Att som räddningstjänst utföra hembesök med att åka hem till olika personer och prata om brandskydd och risker i hemmet är något som visats vara väldigt effektivt i Storbritannien. Varje år gör räddningstjänster runt
