▼ Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to determine why guests choose museums as hosting sites for their private
events. A brief survey of Seattle museum websites reveals that many area institutions offer private event rentals; however, each museum advertises its event program differently, some more effectively than others. The diversity of approaches to museums' special event programs exemplifies a lack of available resources and manuals specifically designed to address private
events in non-profit settings. In response to the dearth of scholarly work in this field, this study used a three-pronged approach to discover what determined guests' choices to hold special
events in museums. Using a case study at the Museum of Flight, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of those interviews, this thesis examined a variety of motivating factors (i.e. Advertising, Customer Service, Donor Relationships, Educational Programming, Event Alignment with the Museum's Mission, Operational and Logistical Capabilities, Personal Alignment with Museum's Mission, Repeat Business, Underwriting, and Volunteer Relationships) through five event types (i.e. Birthday Parties, Meetings and Training Seminars, Nonprofit Fundraisers, Receptions and Dinners, and Weddings). This three-pronged methodology, case study, interviews, and analysis, found that the majority of participant's choices were determined by the given museum's operational and logistical capabilities, or by the level of customer service provided by the host institution, and their emotional connection to the institution.

▼ The idea would be to unify it into a system where people from different countries can provide information on their hometowns, helping people who are interested in them. The system created is a collaborative Web system in which people can access and edit contents by entering information about their hometowns, and this information will help other people who decide to move to the different cities.

▼ In numerous regions around the globe, climate change can be expected to change the pattern of severe weather
events. Migration flows have been systematically larger the higher the proportion of the population in urban areas in the destination county relative to the origin county. Richer models demonstrate that the effects of a number of different types of extreme weather
events (i.e. flooding, heat waves, and wildfires) in the origin county on county-to-county migration flows are statistically significantly greater when the destination county is more urbanized. The effect of the number of fatalities from flooding and heat waves in the origin county on migration flows is also amplified when the destination county is more urbanized. Thus it appears that even in a developed country like the U.S. extreme weather
events still exacerbate rural-to-urban migration flows.

Poor black women and messy drag queens: A discursive map of the scandalous event of “Haute Mess”.

▼ In 2012, Vogue Italia became embroiled in an online scandal about “Haute Mess,” the centrepiece fashion spread from its March issue. Shot in a fast-food diner, the models in the spread wore garish clothing, stacks of jewellery, long heavily pattered acrylic nails, outré makeup, and extreme weaves (hairpieces that are similar to wigs). In response to “Haute Mess,” several prominent online magazines accused Vogue Italia of cultural appropriation. These claims hinged on the shoot’s hairstyling, as some of the extreme weaves featured on the models in “Haute Mess” resembled weaves worn by anonymous black women in photographs that circulate online, on websites such as NoWayGirl.com.
This thesis examines the scandalous event of “Haute Mess,” exploring the relationships between the shoot itself, the online discussion about it, Vogue Italia’s framing of it, and the photographs of weaves worn by anonymous black women that resemble those hairstyles in “Haute Mess.” Following Michel Foucault’s work on the archive, and Lauren Berlant’s “histories of the present,” this thesis questions the status of the event as given, and sets out to unpick its seams. This process involves mapping the emergence of two distinct categories of knowledge about marginalised bodies from this event: the ‘Poor Black Woman’ and the ‘Messy Drag Queen.’ By tracing the formation of these figures, this thesis argues that this event functions as a concentrated instance of the production of knowledge about marginalised bodies. In relation to this production of knowledge, the scandalous event of “Haute Mess” frames the Poor Black Woman and Messy Drag Queen in binary terms, as authentic and inauthentic, respectively. In order to circumvent this binary, this thesis seeks a way to engage with this event beyond appeals to authenticity.

▼ Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is currently in the midst of extraordinary period of mega-event hosting. Central to the preparation and hosting of such mega-
events are the issues of infrastructure and image. While a large number of articles have been keen to illustrate the transformative potential (and dilemmas) of utilizing mega-
events to advance an urban agenda, less understood is role that citizen journalists and traditional media journalists play in the construction of the "media geography" of mega-
events. This research examines the dominant narratives in the international media coverage of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil before the 2014 FIFA World Cup, specifically the 12 months leading up to that event starting with the 2013 Confederations Cup Riots. Data was derived from a content analysis of 5 western, international media outlets, as well as interviews with international and new media journalists from the New York Times, BBC, Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Midia NINJA, and several other media organizations. These journalists were questioned about the dominant media narratives, as well as the role of new media, not only in reporting news on the ground in Rio de Janeiro, but also in how their presence helped shape the media's representation of Rio and perhaps construct a new "point of reference" for the city. The results of the quantitative and qualitative data suggest a couple of clear narratives. The first questioned whether or not the event's infrastructure projects would be ready in time for the start of the games. The second focused on reporting of the protests in Rio de Janeiro and elsewhere, attempting to give meaning to protests and the array of grievances that sparked those demonstrations. Additionally, this research examined how traditional and new media journalists leveraged social media to mobilize and facilitate the various contestations of Rio de Janeiro's mega-
events.

▼ With regards to the theme of the intimate city, the graduation project is interested in the relationship between public events and the urban built form. Borgerhout, located in the west of central Antwerp, started as an independent suburb but eventually was merged into the city of Antwerp in 1983. The research studies the constructs of public life in the former suburb. This is then translated into a proposition for a Municiple Library in the historical Moorkensplein square.

▼ This dissertation’s purpose was to explore the governance of two domestic multi-sport events—2012 Ontario Summer Games and 2013 Canada Games—regarding how stakeholder coordination and knowledge management occurred. Case studies were built using content and social network analyses of 27 interviews and 476 document pages.
In both events, the organizing committee staff and sport organizations were the most salient stakeholders, being therefore seen as the focal actors within the event network regarding coordination, initiating communication, building trust, and improving relationships. For the provincial event specifically, findings suggested the organizing committee should exist within an enduring organization in order to maximize resources (e.g., financial, human, etc.), build long-term coordination mechanisms, and enhance knowledge management capacities.
Knowledge transfer appeared to occur at both levels, to varying degrees of sophistication. The knowledge management processes at each event stressed the importance of people and of tacit knowledge. Implications for researchers and managers provided.

▼ Recent times have seen the increased proliferation of the concept of applying events in promoting destinations. This can be attributed to the effectiveness of events in solidifying the image and attractiveness of destinations. Currently, South Africa ranks as the twenty second most popular location for hosting events and has a foothold of 2.5% of the global event market share. The global pervasion of events has changed the dynamics that surround how destinations are promoted and has also significantly impacted the tourism industry and the respective tourist patterns of consumption. Literature suggests that events are gradually moving from previously being viewed as a complementary leisure activity towards becoming a primary source of attraction for destinations. Literature also confirms the extensive inclination of cities in the use of events for branding destinations. The primary problem that this study investigates is the lack of substantial knowhow with respect to how events can be presented in order to augment and enhance the attractiveness of Nelson Mandela Bay. There is no substantial blueprint that is capable of informing from the perspective of event marketers, how best they can drive a successful event marketing imperative that the local and external consumers can appreciate. Additionally, Nelson Mandela Bay has over the recent years encountered a significant amount of losses stemming from the events realm of its tourist offering. The most recent and calamitous of its losses to date has been estimated at R200 million, which escaped the coffers of the local economy as a result of the internationally applauded IRB World Sevens event moving from the metropolis to Cape Town. This has caused disconcerted and agitated sentiments across business and tourism leadership locally. Since 2011, the IRB World Sevens Series cultivated over R1 Billion towards the local economy. Losses in terms of showcasing the city to a global audience on highly established and followed media platforms are also expected. In addition, given the lack of knowledge with respect to event marketing dynamics, the “Twelve Events in Twelve Months”, an initiative that will see different event themes being launched within the twelve calendar months of the year in Nelson Mandela Bay, runs a high risk of failing to take off upon its launch because local residents and potential tourists, both national and international will lack the knowledge sufficient to stimulate their acceptance and attraction to this concept. This study aims to investigate the concepts, notions and critical success factors that event marketers can apply in order to increase the success of the event marketing imperative in Nelson Mandela Bay. The success of event marketing is expected to increase the attractiveness of Nelson Mandela Bay and brand it as a viable destination to prospective stakeholders. To evaluate the conceptual framework that was suggested by this study based on the literature review, an empirical evaluation was performed amongst the residents of Nelson Mandela Bay…

▼ Prior research has shown that polypharmacy and the use
of inappropriate medication increases the risk of drug-related
emergency department visits. This has been investigated in the
context of medications alone without considering social, economic
and patient specific factors. The present study investigated which
factors increase the risk of drug-related emergency department
visits in older adults. Potential factors included frailty,
medication appropriateness, cognitive status, education level
achieved and social vulnerability. Backward stepwise binary
logistic regression was used to examine multiple potential risk
factors for drug-related emergency department visits in older
adults. The analysis showed that narcotic drug use, any
anticholinergic drug use, lack of social supports and increased use
of inappropriate medications as identified by an increased
medication appropriateness index increased the risk of drug-related
hospital visits. This suggests that avoidance of inappropriate
medications and adequate social support are important in avoiding
drug-related emergency department visits in older
adults.

▼ Climate variability, climate change and human
activities have impacted various components of the hydrologic cycle
in many regions across the world. In particular, changes to the
global climate system can affect the magnitude and frequency of
extreme hydrological events, thus altering the risk to critical
infrastructure. Therefore, under the possible impact of climate
change, the stationary assumption of the conventional frequency
analysis is generally invalid. Assessing the validity of the
stationarity assumption for Canadian hydroclimatic variables is
important to justify the practice of conventional hydrologic
frequency analysis in a changing climate. On the other hand,
understanding how non-stationarity have affected the magnitude and
frequency of hydrologic events in Canada, and developing new
statistical techniques (or extensions of existing techniques) are
important to address non-stationarity and to reduce uncertainties
associated with frequency analysis. Alternatively, it will be
beneficial to reliably predict future Canadian precipitation and
streamflow under a changing climate and the impact of anthropogenic
influences. Most past studies of Canadian hydroclimate change
detection have focused on trends or slow varying changes in the
mean precipitation and streamflow of Canada even though extreme
precipitation and streamflow could cause more severe damage to
human beings. The objectives of this dissertation are: 1) to
understand the impact of changes in climatic and human factors to
hydroclimatic processes over Canada, 2) to examine the
nonstationary characteristics of the precipitation and streamflow
under a changing climate, and 3) to assess the impacts of global
changes in extreme climate on human and ecosystems. Chapter 1
describes an analysis of the nonstationary behavior of extreme
streamflow over Canada by identifying abrupt changes, monotonic
temporal trends, non-stationary probability distributions and
long-term persistence of Canadian annual maximum streamflow. The
results show that nonstationary frequency analysis should be
employed in the future, because of widespread non-stationarities of
streamflow resulting from both climate change and human impacts
have been detected across Canada. Chapter 2 relates changes in
streamflow over Canadian watersheds to climate change and human
impacts. From elasticities of streamflow for each watershed are
analytically derived using the Budyko Framework, it is shown that
climate change caused an increase in the mean annual streamflow
(MAS), while human impacts a decrease in MAS and such impact tends
to become more severe with time. Chapter 3 relates
non-stationarities of heavy precipitation over Canada in terms of
frequency and intensity to large-scale climate patterns, such as El
Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO),
Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) and North Pacific Oscillation.
This analysis shows that large-scale climate anomalies have
affected Canadian heavy precipitation which may trigger large
floods. Chapter 4 used variants…

▼ Background
Despite the presence of over 17,000 massage therapists (MTs) within regulated provincial healthcare systems in Canada, a dearth of information on patient safety persists. The views of massage therapy (MT) experts about patient safety is unknown while classification of adverse
events (AEs) is not standardized. The objectives of this study are: 1) To explore MT regulators’ views on patient safety in the practice of MT; 2) To explore taxonomies for describing patient safety incidents (PSIs) or AEs in the published literature and compare to international frameworks and 3) To reflect on how the findings of the study aid the patient safety culture of MT in Canada.
Methods
A mixed methods approach included a focus group with 10 members of the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia. Data was analyzed with thematic analysis. Then a scoping review in ten peer-reviewed electronic databases limited to English as well as bibliographies, citations and key authors was conducted. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were applied to all records independently by two reviewers and data was extracted and charted. Consultation with stakeholders facilitated knowledge transfer.
Results
The results of the focus group investigation show that MT can usefully be characterized as a pantheon built on a foundation of trust, and supported by three pillars: a well-defined role for the massage therapist, clear treatment expectations, and protection of unique patient vulnerability. In the scoping study, the titles of 967 articles were identified and their abstracts reviewed; 67 articles were retrieved and read. 14 of them met the final inclusion criteria and were retained for analysis. Mapping shows lack of uniformity but shared elements of AE classification that conform to international standards. Stakeholders recommended translating this new knowledge widely.
Conclusions
A lack of standardization of operational definitions of the Canadian MT provider and the intervention impedes MT research and a robust patient safety culture. The findings of this study demonstrate the views that massage can hurt and it can harm. Discourse on patient safety is fraught with competing interpretations. There is a need for a Canadian MT specific patient safety framework including standardization in curriculum, education and licensing.

▼ The study discussed in this paper comes at a critical time. As the meetings and
events industry continues to grow and mature, and meetings and
events become strategic solutions for clients, professionals are required to show business value in the meetings and
events that they plan. Clients need constant reassurance that their event will have a positive and successful outcome. In some cases, this measure of success can be a financial one: where the meeting or event benefits outweigh the costs. However, with a wide variety of meeting and event types, it is not always possible to quantify benefits with a dollar value. Meetings and
events can have intangible benefits, but with current industry evaluation models, these intangible benefits are not measured well and are somewhat ignored. Another gap in current meeting and event evaluation models is the focus. Models, such as the Phillips’ Return on Investment (ROI) Methodology, measure return on investment for the client, but much of the data is not relevant or collectible for the meeting professional. Little information exists on how planners can measure the success of their meetings and
events. The need to demonstrate business value and limited success metrics are the key reasons why this study was conducted.
From an evaluation standpoint, industry professionals are faced with two primary issues. The first issue is the definition of a successful meeting or event, and the second is how to appropriately measure intangible, non-financial success. What constitutes success may vary by industry segments or meeting type, but these nuances aren’t addressed in current evaluation models, such as ROI. ROI is only an appropriate measure in five percent of meetings and
events (Myhill & Phillips, 2006), which suggests that additional success metrics can be developed and tested.
A two-tiered study employing qualitative and quantitative methodologies was used to address the multiple study purposes. First, telephone interviews were conducted with the objective of identifying how meeting and event industry professionals define and discuss success in the
events they plan, as well as uncover key success traits along with ways to measure them. In addition, the results of the interviews were reviewed to determine if the Pine and Gilmore Experience Economy framework is an appropriate classification for meetings and
events industry evaluation models. The emergent themes from the first part of the study were used to inform a questionnaire sent to a sample of the meetings and
events industry population for triangulation. The sample of professionals shared their levels of agreement with the definition of meeting and event success, and key traits and measurement metrics of success. The results of the survey were analyzed using a chi-square statistical analysis and used to suggest a new model for success evaluation.

▼ Financial market
events can have a large impact in trading performance, but are difficult to classify in large datasets. This thesis presents a statistical method for finding financial market
events using a maximum entropy model. A maximum entropy approach is presented to model an empirical matrix of daily stock returns while retaining its non-stationarity and heterogeneity. All speci cations of this maximum entropy model can be expressed in terms of the measurable properties of the matrix of daily stock returns. Closed form solutions of the expected moments, auto- and cross-correlations of the time series in the model, as well as the expected eigenvalue of the correlation matrix, are calculated. Using the maximum entropy model a method is constructed to detect financial market
events. Here, a binary classifier is used based on the statistical significance of the empirical data calculated using the probability distribution function of the maximum entropy model. We find that the method is able to distinguish financial market
events from non-
events in historical data.

▼ Purpose – This study seeks to explore residents’ attitudes towards cultural events in Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB), South Africa. The study further discusses the cultural values and social realities of the diverse socio-economic landscape inherent to the city. Equally, the extent of stakeholder involvement has been reflected throughout the study as an indispensable requirement towards sustainable tourism in the city. The study presents that customising cultural events according to the cross-cultural typology has far-reaching consequences in enhancing the image of NMB and induces stakeholder engagement. This study is based on the notion of Social Capital and Stakeholder theory and draws on the multi-cultural phenomenon as the thrust of the study is based on attracting residents’ to cultural events. The literature study indicated that the concept of Social Capital and stakeholder collaboration are mutually exclusive and empirical analysis indicates a strong relationship between the factors relative to residents’ attitudes. Design/Methodology/Approach – This study is located in the positivism paradigm and comprises literature and exploratory research to examine the supposition between the independent variables and the attitudes of residents’ in the NMB. The independent variables underlined in the proposed model are embedded in the literature undertaken. Equally, the thrust of the study is underpinned in Social Capital theory and the Stakeholder theory and is evident throughout this study. In this study, the convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods were employed to obtain a representative sample of residents from the NMB. A questionnaire was used in this study to solicit responses pertaining to the biographical information and questions relating to the factors of perceived satisfaction of residents in the NMB in relation to cultural events. A total number of 3,659 residents participated in this study. The researcher conducted this study by means of testing the constructs of the measuring instrument employed, as well as providing a causal model of relationships between the independent variables and the residents’ attitudes of cultural events in NMB. Findings – The results confirm the reliability and validity of the scales tested on a sample of 3,659 residents, collected using the questionnaire in Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan area. The empirical analysis indicates relationships among the independent factors; Social Capital and Stakeholder Profile, where a Pearson’s correlation of 0.50 exists. Furthermore, descriptive findings indicate that there is an overall positive tendency in attitudes for cultural events in the city. The practical significance as identified in the Cohen’s d test for significance infers that the moderating factors in the conceptual model prove that age, area code, home language, ethnicity and home language exert influence in determining residents’ attitudes in the city. Practical Implications – This study identifies the importance of leveraging the cross-cultural typology underscored the…

▼ Understanding how the climate system will respond to ongoing human interference is a question of profound societal importance. A significant barrier to quantifying the effect of human activity on the climate system is interpreting how the signal of anthropogenic change can be isolated and distinguished from the background noise of internal variability. An emerging framework in the scientific community is now to investigate signal-to-noise ratios as a more effective measure of the impact of human influence on the climate.
As the cumulative amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the global population continues to increase, emerging (human-induced) signal-to-noise ratios in temperatures are starting to become clear for highly aggregated spatial and temporal scales. However, some other climate phenomena, such as meteorological drought, exhibit a more complex response to anthropogenic forcings. Identifying how further warming will change the characteristics of such phenomena is therefore more difficult, despite the significant policy implications for both climate adaptation and mitigation.
In this thesis, I investigate novel approaches towards separating the relative signal of anthropogenic climate warming from internal variability for these cases of low signal-to-noise ratios. By more effectively understanding the drivers of emergent changes to the climate system, these results help to quantify, and thus communicate, the increasingly damaging effects of human interference on the climate system.

▼ With the continuous growth of the global event industry, the importance of event volunteering has been widely acknowledged, while the understanding beyond sports
events is overlooked. Moreover, the current literature on event volunteering is very Western-centric, and volunteering in different cultural contexts needs to be further explored. China is undergoing substantial economic and social changes and scholarly attention has been given to its tourism development. However, little is known about volunteering in the Chinese context. This thesis examines student volunteering at business
events in China by studying students’ motivations for getting involved in volunteer activities at business
events and conceptualization of this phenomenon.
An adapted constructivist grounded theory approach was applied. This qualitative study started with the researcher’s auto-ethnography, demonstrating the emersion of the researcher in the explored field to gain a richness of data. This was followed by in-depth interviews with data triangulation from three groups: students, business event organisers, and education institution administrators. The combination of different methods reflected the holistic and critical research approach within the research paradigm, with a relativistic ontology, a subjectivist epistemology, and a naturalistic method. In the first stage of auto-ethnography, the researcher became an ‘insider’ at two business
events in China and used personal experience to gain a fuller understanding of volunteering in this context. In the second stage, semi-structured interviews captured the perspectives of 20 students, 10 organisers, and 9 education institution administrators. Data were then analysed by a two-stage coding process using NVivo.
Five themes and two frameworks of motivations and conceptualization emerged from the analysis. The identified motivations were complex, with students driven by instrumental and self-centred motives, demonstrating the characteristics of reflexive volunteers. Volunteering was a tool to construct distinctive personal identities and achieve self-realization. Regarding the concept of student volunteering at business
events, participants had a broad understanding relating to this phenomenon. The voluntary exchange nature was prominent with symbolic, productive, and economic elements. Monetary remunerations were accepted and the behaviours were not purely students’ free choice, however, the voluntary spirit formed a distinctive line between volunteering at business
events and other social activities. The results illustrated the complexity of the concept by encapsulating notions of reflexive volunteering, personal benefits, payment, exchange nature, voluntary spirit, and independent choice.
Based on the exploration of motivation and conceptualization, it was identified that the phenomenon under research was a Chinese culturally specific construction of volunteering with the concepts of zhi yuan (volunteering) and zhi yuan zhe (volunteer(s)) demonstrating the culturally-situated understanding.…

▼ The safety of antipsychotic use in elderly persons has recently been questioned. The incidence of adverse
events (AEs) (extrapyramidal syndromes (EPS), cerebrovascular and cardiac
events, and all-cause mortality) in the elderly users of first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) and second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) was compared. Risks of AEs in antipsychotic-exposed persons and non-exposed individuals were also assessed. A population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted in the elderly Manitoba residents who received their first antipsychotic medication between April 1, 2000 and March 31, 2007. Cox proportional hazards models were built to compare risks of AEs in FGA and SGA users, as well as in non-exposed subjects. SGAs were associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 0.683, 95% CI 0.577–0.809) and a higher risk of myocardial infarction (1.614 [1.024–2.543]) compared to FGAs. No significant differences between FGAs and SGAs were found for cerebrovascular
events, cardiac arrhythmia and congestive heart failure (CHF) but a higher incidence of EPS was observed for FGAs compared to risperidone. Both FGA and SGA users were at a higher risk of cerebrovascular
events (FGAs 1.415 [1.114–1.797]; SGAs 1.611 [1.388–1.869]) and CHF (FGAs 1.228 [0.893–1.689]; SGAs 1.242 [1.003–1.536]) compared to non-exposed subjects. Only FGA-users were at a higher risk of death compared to non-exposed subjects (FGAs 1.387 [1.065–1.805]; SGAs 0.824 [0.708–0.959]). Both FGA and risperidone use were associated with a higher risk of EPS (FGAs 3.503 [2.271–5.403]; risperidone 1.733 [1.214–2.472]). Both classes of antipsychotics might lead to potentially life-threatening AEs. Neither FGAs nor SGAs seem to have a superior overall safety profile. Antipsychotic pharmacotherapy should be prescribed in elderly persons after careful consideration of all risks and benefits.

▼ World's megacities are facing acute sustainability challenges. Persistent problems such as urban pollution, resource depletion, climate change, poverty and social inequalities are shaping unsustainable futures for some of the world's most populated regions. How can these challenges be tackled? Focusing on the urban mobility regimes that contribute to the acute challenges, this thesis investigates if they can transition toward sustainability. According to sustainability transitions studies, experimentation is vital for making such a transition, through replacing existing unsustainable socio-technical regimes such as fossil fuel-based automobility. Besides niche experimentation, existing regimes can also undergo transformation towards sustainability, being enabled by regime actors. Both experimentation and regime transformation are explored in five studies covering cities like Kolkata, New Delhi and Ahmedabad in India and Bangkok and Chiang Mai in Thailand. However, the majority of the thesis has a strong focus on Kolkata. Following an introduction, the thesis begins with a study exploring diversity in the meaning of sustainability of experiments in different social, spatial and systemic contexts. Focussing on niche experiments, the second study is an analysis of niche actors' strategies to 'empower' sustainable innovations, negotiating with incumbent regime actors in legal and policy spaces. Looking beyond experimentation, a third study focuses on different transition pathways in megacity Kolkata's public transport regimes. It proposes a new 'mapping tool' to identify changes in regime rules, trajectories and selection pressures. In the penultimate paper, a 'Wheel of Logics' framework is proposed to develop an understanding of the nature of dynamic stability of regimes in the Global South. Finally, a critical discourse analysis examines whether a smart city imaginary in Kolkata was politically transformative, by analysing the projected distribution of benefits among its citizens, the mechanisms used to democratize the process of constructing the imaginary, and the ways in which citizens' voices were articulated into the official imaginary. These five studies, tied together, offer a critical understanding of sociotechnical transitions in megacities, by carrying out sustainability appraisals of experiments and developing theoretical frameworks and practical tools for understanding regime dynamics. This way, the thesis offers new conceptual and methodological insights for sustainability transitions, by emphasizing transformations beyond experimentation. These new insights are intended as contribution to shaping sustainable futures in megacities.

The Boundaries of Womanhood: Lesbian and Non-lesbian Feminist Opinions about Transsexuals.

▼ Feminists of the past two and a half decades have been influential in the
debates about the meaning of womanhood. Transsexualism as a state of being,
and transsexuals themselves, have periodically presented challenging issues
to the discussion. As a result, the boundaries of womanhood are being
questioned and membership in sex and gender categories are being contested
by transsexuals and non-transsexuals within feminist debates.
Conflicts arise when questions of transsexuals' womanhood come to the
forefront, and one controversy centres on whether sex and gender statuses
change for transsexuals. Do male-to-female transsexuals become women (if
ever)? Do male-to-female transsexuals become female (if ever)? Should
transsexual women be included in women-only
events? The last question
stirs the debate that has been brewing in feminist communities since the
1970s. And because women-only
events are largely organized and attended by
lesbians, lesbians have often been at the forefront of feminist debates about
the womanhood of transsexual women. There has been much lively debate
in the 1970s and again in the 1990s on the topic of transsexualism, however
there has been little research specifically looking at feminist attitudes about
transsexuals.
To expand our knowledge in these areas, the concepts of womanhood
is explored from a feminist perspective. A context is provided with a review
of radical feminist, radical lesbian feminist and lesbian separatist theories.
Feminist literature on the issue of transsexualism is presented to show the
many sides of the debate. Praxis of radical feminism is illustrated using the
Michigan Womyn's Music Festival as an example of women-only space, a
model of feminist-separatist utopia and a site where transsexual women have
not been welcome. With this foundation, analysis of survey question results are presented to determine whether feminist attitudes, as presented in the
literature, aptly reflect non-lesbian and lesbian feminist perspectives on
transsexuals' womanhood. This thesis concludes with a discussion of the
findings and suggestions for further study.

▼ This thesis was compiled around the idea that
events should be more like experiences, and less like services. In this research, the idea of experiences is explored in theory alongside the theory of event planning to produce an introductory approach to experience
events.
The research was compiled with the help of the main text source, The Experience Economy, and supported greatly with other key sources. The main aspect of this source is the 4 E’s; Entertainment, Educational, Esthetic, and Escapist, and they are used to assist in providing entertainment for all types of event audiences. The author compares their findings with the information compiled by one on one interviews with people who have worked with experience
events in the past. In these interviews the author asks several questions about the flow of
events in which the participants took part in producing, including whether or not the event went according to plan, and if anything could have been changed or different.
Putting the research to use is then explored by explaining the usage of various tools both new and old, and then compiling these tools into a handbook for the use and further exploration of Intotalo, Kajaani. These tools include both fundamental tools that are already in use in
events, as well as new and digital tools in which event producers are beginning to adapt to in order to better the event planning process.
This thesis was written from the event professional perspective, and may assist event professionals in gaining a new insight to
events and their ability to leave lasting memories with their guests. Event professionals are encouraged to explore the tools listed in the research, as well as explore other tools not listed in the research.

▼ A task confronting all the theoretical branches of philosophy is Peacocke’s Integration Challenge: “providing, for a given area, a simultaneously acceptable metaphysics and epistemology, and showing them to be so” (1999, 1). When it comes to the study of everyday
events such as basketball shots and ripples on a pond, there is a phenomenological analogue of the Integration Challenge: the twofold task of explicating both the nature of such
events and the way they show up in our perceptual consciousness. In this dissertation, I propose an account of
events in response to the twofold challenge. On the one hand, an event is a complex entity constituted from tropes in accordance with its kind. On the other hand, our perceptual experiences of
events differ from our other varieties of experiences because they uniquely feature the awareness of certain temporal phenomena that function as the boundaries between
events.
The dissertation is divided into five chapters. After a short introductory chapter, I develop a metaphysical theory of
events. I follow a framework based on Evnine (2016) and divide theories of
events into two groups: those that invoke the constitution relation and those that do not. Chapter 2 reviews and argues against the major theories in the first group, whereas Chapter 3 defends my own view against several alternatives in the second group. Roughly, my view is that a number of
events jointly constitute another if and only if the event-kind the latter falls under makes the latter dependent upon the former.
The remaining chapters defend a Husserlian view about event perception. Chapter 4 situates my favored view in the theoretical landscape. I argue for a representational view by drawing on Husserlian ideas, in particular the idea that any perceptual content has an expectational component in addition to a component that represents what is strictly visible. Chapter 5 expands on the view and supplies an analysis of event perception. By combining the theory of perceptually based expectations proposed by Yoshimi (2016) with results from linguistics and psychology, I argue that event perception can be better understood with the theoretical apparatus of possible worlds.

▼ The aim of this thesis is to follow, describe and evaluate the phases of organizing internationally recognized ice hockey tournament. The authors were following the organization progress of Men’s Under-18 Challenge Cup Of Asia ice hockey tournament. Our goal is to give feedback and comments for host of the tournament, United Arab Emirates Ice Hockey Association (UAEIHA) from the roles and responsibilities association was responsible of.
Secondly, this project is source for reader to see how organizing committee of hosting association and International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) divide the roles and responsibilities to create successful event. Tournament was organized by the guidelines from IIHF Organization Committee Information Package.
Organizing a sport tournament is always a stressful experience. Several elements need to be taken concern, and work is needed to be done before, during, and after the tournament. Our mission was to work behind the scenes on the U-18 Challenge Cup Of Asia all the way from starting steps on getting chosen to be the tournament host to posttournament evaluation.
Event management, planning and marketing are parts of theoretical part in this thesis, as their meanings are explained by using various sources.
Both authors have a long background on working in various ice hockey tournaments, and sports camps. Going through everything that involves hosting a tournament, will benefit all the upcoming
events hosted by UAEIHA, as we go through by details the positive aspects and also what is need to be taken care of better in the future tournaments.
The authors have been part of the organizing committee for such
events as The IIHF World Championships 2009 & 2011, and The Asian National Development Camp 2011.
This evaluation project was started December 2011 and it was finished late April 2012.

▼ This study sought to investigate whether there was a relationship among environmental performance, economic results and social media presence that contributed to the competitive advantage of Florida Green Lodging Program eco-certified hotels. While eco-certifications were not specifically cultivated for marketing on social media websites, the two-dimensional logos were developed as a meaningful marketing tool that can also be used in an online environment to convey a firm’s commitment to environmental standards. Therefore, gaining an understanding of what connects the added marketing benefit of an eco-certification and the utility usage of an environmentally conscious hotel holds the possibility to garner positive economic results for firms that commit to specific eco-certification standards. Built on a literature foundation of sustainable tourism, social media and theories that unite both subject matters, the study adopted a mixed-methods, sequential explanatory research design with an emphasis on the quantitative findings. The investigation was organized in two phases. The initial phase analyzed data from the FGLP to determine if relationships existed. The second phase provided supportive qualitative data to better comprehend the statistical findings discovered in the first phase. The study utilized both primary data collected from web-based surveys and dialogue paired with secondary data garnered from government forms and social media websites. The pragmatic underpinning of the study permitted the collection, analysis and interpretation of the statistical results combined with supportive qualitative findings structured by six hypotheses that addressed the study’s aim and objectives. The findings revealed 15 statistically significant relationships. Only four relationships contributed a positive economic result and 11 provided negative economic consequences to the eco-certified hotel. The statistical results were paired with qualitative concerns about the program’s commitment to marketing and communication efforts. In addition, the study revealed a management factor may be limiting the relationship among environmental performance, economic results and social media presence, which could be addressed if a more holistic and cross-functional management approach was implemented at an eco-certified property. This work contributes to the growing research between sustainability and marketing, and the use of social media within the hospitality industry, which extended the theoretical foundation of the resource-based theory for future research. The study made an original contribution of knowledge with its use of the resource-based theory to determine the statistical relationships of the physical and fiscal operations of eco-certified hotels in relation to their social media presence. It also extended the definition of marketing ‘resources’ to include seven social media web sites. Future research could continue the investigation among environmental performance, economic results and social media presence to include larger…

▼ Sustainable tourism and rural development are much examined research areas. Within these, the importance of community-centric approaches is becoming more and more recognised; however, specific research upon which community-centric development strategies could be built seems to be lacking. This thesis addresses this research gap with the aim to explore the nature of co-operative tourism and its potential towards sustainable rural tourism development in India from a stakeholder perspective. A literature review demonstrated the benefits of co-operatives as a sustainable business model, particularly for poor communities of developing countries; however, a clear gap emerged with regard to investigating tourism and co-operatives in the same context. This research contributes to filling this gap in knowledge and outlines the clear theoretical benefits of adopting a co-operative business model as a community-centric approach to tourism in the context of rural India, while also pointing out considerable challenges in its practical implementation, such as possible limitations to the ability for self-help. Fifty qualitative semi-structured interviews were carried out with stakeholders of a co-operative tourism project in two states of India: Uttarakhand and West Bengal. Twenty-six of these were conducted with farmers who are members of the tourism co-operatives presented in this study, ten with members of the wider community in which the project took place and fourteen with tourism professional and academics local to the areas. Focus was put on in-depth exploration of participants’ experiences, implying qualitative methods and a phenomenological research approach. The findings revealed a clear theoretical advantage of a co-operative approach to tourism development, which has potential to address and alleviate many of the challenges associated with tourism and host communities, and which is intensified in poor peripheral areas. However, there are significant practical challenges, which need to be addressed in order for this comparative advantage to translate into practice. These challenges are manifested in a sense of dormancy in the participants, a lack of skills and significant language difficulties. A limit to the principle of self-help, which is inherent to co-operative activities, was identified as creating effective marketing links and hence, requiring ongoing external support. This research study makes an interdisciplinary contribution to the literature on sustainable tourism, rural development and co-operative studies. In addition, it provides a starting point for further empirical research on the co-operative business model as an approach, which has not yet been sufficiently conceptualised for tourism. Furthermore, it contributes to the wider debate on sustainable rural development through tourism. Future research could usefully investigate how the challenges identified in this study, such as limitations to the principle of self-help, lack of initiative in participants and creating marketing linkages could be addressed.

▼ The aim of this research was to examine the factors influencing in-trip tourists’ adoption of information and communications technology (ICT) tools/applications which support sustainable tourism. While ICT is a source of competitive advantage for businesses, there is limited research on how ICT can be used to support sustainable tourism development. At the same time, there has been greater consumer awareness about sustainable tourism but a challenge in translating this knowledge into action. This thesis therefore sought to explore and integrate these complementary elements. The study adopted a sequential mixed methods approach. Phase 1 employed an e-survey among sixty-six (66) eTourism experts, while Phase 2 of the study involved thirty (30) semi-structured face-to-face interviews with leisure tourists in the city of Edinburgh. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyse Phase 1 and thematic analysis for Phase 2. The findings from the survey demonstrated that location based services were identified amongst the main ICT applications to support sustainable tourism. Geo-caching, ambient intelligence and context aware applications were among the new or emerging applications that eTourism experts felt were likely to change the way tourists experience a destination in the future. The interviews demonstrated that social connectedness motivated the use of in-trip ICT with social media being the primary platform. Mobile value elements, personal innovativeness and perceived enjoyment were postulated as influencing use behaviour. The results also illustrated the need for destinations to mix new media with some traditional strategies based on the destination’s info-structure, tourists’ source markets, tourists’ profiles and sources of in-trip information. This thesis has made an original contribution to knowledge by examining the actual use of in-trip ICTs by tourists in relation to sustainable tourism. Future research needs to explore and measure how perceived enjoyment, personal innovativeness and mobile value elements influence technology use behaviour.

▼ This interdisciplinary thesis breaks new ground in the fields of food and media studies, in the specific areas of culinary capital and food TV. On food studies, this thesis theorises that the state plays the role of meta-tastemaker, legitimising some foods as a source of social distinction in order to support national ideologies and beliefs. The social prestige that citizens accumulate thanks to these foods is what this thesis defines as national culinary capital. On media studies, this thesis analyses how national culinary capital is represented on television, and how the media and the nation negotiate it. Only by merging the two disciplines has this thesis been able to catch the sense of the complex power relationships between the nation and the media. Through the analysis of two national TV food travelogues, the Italian Ti Ci Porto Io and the British Jamie's Great Britain, this work draws on Bourdieu's concepts of statist and cultural capital, and on Naccarato and LeBesco's theorisation of culinary capital. Cultural studies views of national culture and television, and theories on nation-building contribute to the theoretical framework. Methodologically, this study applies political economy and Bourdieu's field analysis to Italian and British TV and food TV, and to the broadcasters and production companies of the shows. In addition, moving image and semiotic analysis of the travelogues clarify how the two shows represent national culinary capital. An interview with the Italian producer, and a failed interview with the British one shed further light on the national ideologies represented by the shows and linked to food. The results show how, in the two countries, national culinary capital supports different ideologies with similar aims. Moreover, while in Italy the state exerts its power over the media in a stronger way, in Britain the media prove to be powerful enough to shape an independent form of national culinary capital, embodied by the media invention of the celebrity chef.

▼ Despite a ubiquitous interest, the concept of collaboration remains elusive. Regardless, the pervasiveness of discourse pertaining to it continues to infiltrate policy as public sector reform advocates for behaviour and practice driven by an ethos of “joining-up”. The interdependency of the transport-tourism relationship provides an opportunity to consider collaboration in a context where the benefits of integration can be substantial. Within island domains the reliance of tourism economies on efficient transport systems is intensified. Consequently this research presents an analysis of the scope, role and nature of collaboration between industries whose sustainability is to a large extent symbiotic and critical to local prosperity. A review of the literature demonstrates a lack of focus on research pertaining to a stakeholder perspective of the transport-tourism relationship. Within the island environment, studies on this scenario of cross-industry engagement further diminish although the argument expressing the significance of transport in tourism is vociferous. Gaps were also identified in the conceptualisation of collaboration inhibiting a universal definition and thus a comprehensive understanding. The primary research adopted a qualitative approach. Data was collected through a series of semi-structured interviews from stakeholders across transport and tourism who fulfilled pre-considered criteria. The key findings identify constraints to collaboration in the form of structural disparity while divergent industry objectives further impede practical integration. Despite this, the role of “islandness” neutralises barriers to engagement. The propensity to cultivate social capital within these boundaried geographies provides an environment naturally conducive to the creation of collaborative capacity. Consensual development of shared goals between collaborating parties manifested as intrinsic for the purpose of buy-in and commitment throughout the collaborative process. Similarly, an absence of leadership in practice resulted in highlighting the fundamental role it delivers within collaboration. The empirical findings provide both practical and theoretical contribution. Further they present policy-makers with evidence-informed suggestions to address impediments which prevent the practice of collaboration.

▼ As the tourism industry faces economic, social, political and other challenges, there is a need to develop adaptation strategies to reinforce business sustainability of organisations. Ski resort destinations have been chosen to determine and analyse factors as actual and potential barriers to maintain a sustainable business practice. The academic debate revealed a number of gaps, critical issues for the ski industry to be addressed. Concurrently, a lack of an empirical data requires research in order to develop a set of sustainability determinants for generic ski resort use. In line with that, the mixed methodological approach aims to investigate comprehensively factors of business sustainability and sustainability determinants and incorporates two research methods: the qualitative and the quantitative research techniques. The qualitative methodological stance allows arranging a qualitative research and, therefore, conducting interviews among the chosen Scottish and Swiss ski resorts for the purpose of a comparative analysis. The quantitative methodological stance assists to use a series of the Delphi Survey rounds and permits to engage the experts from the industry, selected carefully based on the objective criteria. The findings became a basis for novel concept “internal business sustainability” in relation to ski resorts. The collected data allowed providing recommendations for government, ski resorts generally, ski resorts in Switzerland, ski resorts in Scotland, VisitScotland and Graubünden Tourism. The Delphi study contributed significantly to the field of knowledge and a new framework was developed for a future selection of a model of sustainability indicators for generic ski resort use. The developed framework consists of a set of sustainability determinants in the form of the adaptation strategies with regard to the changing environment, changing in government policies about sustainability, changing in economic climate, changing in socio-cultural environment and changing in technology. All of the elements of the new framework were examined, evaluated and filtered during three consecutive rounds of the Delphi and reached consensus, which show their validity.
