▼ Communication is a challenge in multidisciplinary building design teams. The multidisciplinary nature of the team, in which team members contribute knowledge and skills from within the boundaries of their disciplinary domain, combined with the fragmented building design process, makes exchanging information among disciplines difficult. Addressing this challenge is important because communication impacts project outcomes. While effective communication mitigates project risk, contributes to conflict resolution, and reduces project waste and errors, ineffective communication contributes to project failure. Existing research on communication and teamwork provides us with two key insights: first, the presence of different disciplines – the functional diversity – on a team can lead to both positive and negative outcomes through different communication processes; then, communication in design includes three categories – communication as social behavior, as an information process, and the use of communication technology. However, this research comes from domains such as healthcare, manufacturing, and software design. As such, there are several gaps that limit our understanding of multidisciplinary building design communication: a. As literature on multidisciplinary building design teams is sparse, we do not have sufficient documented information about multidisciplinary building design practice to the extent that we use the terms multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary interchangeably although they indicate different kinds of team functioning. b. There are no approaches to studying communication in building design teams that account for the multidisciplinary nature of the team and the complexity of design communication. Identifying an approach to studying communication is a first step to improving team communication and project outcomes. c. Though it is acknowledged that functional boundaries in a multidisciplinary team influence team functioning, the lack of literature on multidisciplinary building design teams and the lack of an approach to studying team communication means that we do not know how functional diversity affects team communication and outcomes. My research contributes to our understanding of multidisciplinary building design team practice by developing a framework to explore multidisciplinary building design communication. Then, it applies the framework to three cases of multidisciplinary building design teams to explore the effects of functional diversity on building design team communication and outcomes. The exploratory framework allows for the systematic description and analysis of multidisciplinary building design teams, their communication, and their outcomes. When applied to the three cases, multidisciplinary building design practice is explored along three lines of inquiry: What constitutes a multidisciplinary building design team? How do multidisciplinary building design teams exchange information? And, what are multidisciplinary building design team outcomes? Data for the case studies are obtained…

▼ This study uses the agenda building theory to examine Taiwanese newspapersâ coverage of ALS, taking the Ice Bucket Challenge event as a case study. The event is chosen because its new communication features such as mainly spread through social media networks, world-wide participation and its unique news values. This study tries to examine how news media constructed the Ice Bucket Challenge and the issue of ALS by examining the differences in news content before, during, and after the event. The results help to reveal how the event affects the media coverage on the issue of ALS by comparing it to the characteristics of the agenda building theory.. There are two research questions in this study: 1. How did the Ice bucket Challenge event build the agenda for the news media regarding the news of ALS, and if the whole process conformed to the characteristics described by the agenda building theory? 2. What are the differences between the pre-event and post-event content of ALS in the news and how did the news frames change? The research adopted content analysis to examine the news coverage of four main Taiwanese newspapers: the United Daily News, the China Time, the Liberty Time and the Apple Daily. The time frame of the study was from July 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015, in order to compare the news content before (July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014), during (July 1 to September 30, 2014) and after (October 1, 2014 to September, 30, 2015) the Ice bucket Challenge event. The results show that news coverage of the event conforms to the characteristics of the agenda building theory, including the increase in report volume, linkage between the reportsâ content and the public, using âConflictâ frame to present controversial contents, and that the information quotes are sourced mainly from âpublic figuresâ and âgovernmental health units or officials. The results suggest that the characteristics of the event, including the nature of the ALS issue, the event appeal and purpose, the political environment among many other factors, interactively influenced the agenda building process. The results also show that four news frames dominated the news coverage, including âAttribution of responsibilityâ frame, âHuman interestâ frame, âMoralityâ frame, and âConflictâ frame. Among them, âMoralityâ and âHuman interestâ are most commonly seen in the reports. The press also has the tendency to use "Attribution of responsibility" and "Morality" frameworks simultaneously when it comes to ALS-related issues. Functional framework pointed out that, âthe patients themselves and their family membersâ are responsible for the disease in the early and later phase. In the mid-phase however, âthe public and the patient organizationâ are hold responsible to. Moral analysis, in the early and later phase, emphasize on âsatisfying the patientâs need in aspect of economic/ care and companionship/ medical careâ; mid-phase on âeducating the public about the disease/ respect and empathy toward the patients/ the positive atmosphere of society and fairness and justiceâ.… Advisors/Committee Members: An-Shou Cheng (chair), Wei-Ning Wu (chair), Yue Tan (committee member).

▼ The Earth’s climate is changing, largely due to greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activity. The building industry, like all manufacturing and construction industries, contribute to climate change through land-use changes, influencing transportation and product development and use. The residential construction industry has been a staple in the United States economic market for decades. The industry provides millions of jobs and homes across the nation. The industry is fragmented and composed mostly of several small-specialized businesses, filling specific niches. When there is perceived environmental and regulatory certainty surrounding the decisions made by construction firms, builders construct homes traditionally based on regulatory compliance and consumer demands. With such a limited scope of influence, a majority of the industry continues to develop homes in the same manner for generations. While such builders update the type of technology employed during the construction process, the method of construction has not. This has prevented many from voluntarily updating their operating standards and method of construction. Increasingly the American Society is paying more attention to greenhouse gas emissions released during the creation of goods and services. This increased awareness, and subsequent demands for greener products and services, has led to environmental and regulatory uncertainty in many industry sectors across the country. As a result, stakeholders today are better able to exert influential pressure on the residential construction industry to adopt green building practices and practices. While resistance is ever present, increasingly the residential construction industry is adopting practices that result in more efficient homes. There are several factors and internal values that influence the adoption and institutionalization of firm practices and values. This research focuses specifically on the type of stakeholder that is most influential to adopting green building practices and the degree to which the influence alters firm behavior. Uncertainty, in this study, did not exert a significant influence on stakeholder pressure. Instead financial incentives provided by public and private entities most significantly influence the institutionalization of green building practices in the residential construction industry independent of the presence of uncertainty. This study also determined that as the number of annual projects goes up, the adoption of green building practices among firms go down. Advisors/Committee Members: Beach, Sheryl (advisor).

▼ Theory in Information Systems (IS) is very important to the development of the field. Theory building, and theory testing seeks to accumulate knowledge about the relationships between people and technology. Testing theory can be difficult to accomplish, especially when it involves humans, a diversity of methods and sources, multiple experiments, large data sets, and careful tuning of conditions and instruments. Crowdsourcing is a strategy supporting the distribution of activities to crowd workers, which suggests that it may be used to support theory testing. This exploratory study seeks to analyse the adoption of crowdsourcing in theory testing, and to develop guidance for researchers to instantiate the strategy in their research projects. The study adopts the design science research paradigm to explore incorporating the crowdsourcing strategy in theory testing, and to evaluate its viability and utility. According to the principles of design science research, the study is structured around the construction of several interconnected IS artefacts: 1) a conceptual framework articulating the main principles of theory testing; 2) a pattern model of theory testing, which codifies existing research approaches to theory testing; and 3) a decision tool, which codifies guidelines for researchers making decisions on which research activities to crowdsource. In order to build the conceptual framework and pattern model, the study conducts a systematic review of theory testing in the IS domain. Both the conceptual framework and pattern model are then operationalized in the decision tool. The utility of the various artefacts is then assessed with the participation of research practitioners. This study is relevant because it synthesizes knowledge about theory testing, builds innovative artefacts supporting the adoption of crowdsourcing in theory testing, helps academic researchers understanding the theory testing process, and enables them to adopt crowdsourcing for theory testing.

▼ This thesis contributes with a number of topics to the subject of string compactifications, especially in the instance of the E₈ × E₈ heterotic string theory compactified on smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds. In the first half of the work, I discuss the Hodge plot associated with Calabi-Yau threefolds that are hypersurfaces in toric varieties. The intricate structure of this plot is explained by the existence of certain webs of elliptic-K3 fibrations, whose mirror images are also elliptic-K3 fibrations. Such manifolds arise from reflexive polytopes that can be cut into two parts along slices corresponding to the K3 fiber. Any two half-polytopes over a given slice can be combined into a reflexive polytope. This fact, together with a remarkable relation on the additivity of Hodge numbers, give to the Hodge plot the appearance of a fractal. Moving on, I discuss a different type of web of manifolds, by looking at smooth Z₃-quotients of Calabi-Yau three-folds realised as complete intersections in products of projective spaces. Non-simply connected Calabi-Yau three-folds provide an essential ingredient in heterotic string compactifications. Such manifolds are rare in the classical constructions, but they can be obtained as quotients of homotopically trivial Calabi-Yau three-folds by free actions of finite groups. Many of these quotients are connected by conifold transitions. In the second half of the work, I explore an algorithmic approach to constructing E₈ × E₈ heterotic compactifications using holomorphic and poly-stable sums of line bundles over complete intersection Calabi-Yau three-folds that admit freely acting discrete symmetries. Such Abelian bundles lead to N = 1 supersymmetric GUT theories with gauge group SU(5) × U(4) and matter fields in the 10, ⁻10, ⁻5, 5 and 1 representations of SU(5). The extra U(1) symmetries are generically Green-Schwarz anomalous and, as such, they survive in the low energy theory only as global symmetries. These, in turn, constrain the low energy theory and in many cases forbid the existence of undesired operators, such as dimension four or five proton decay operators. The line bundle construction allows for a systematic computer search resulting in a plethora of models with the exact matter spectrum of the Minimally Supersymmetric Standard Model, one or more pairs of Higgs doublets and no exotic fields charged under the Standard Model group. In the last part of the thesis I focus on the case study of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface embedded in a product of four CP1 spaces, referred to as the tetraquadric manifold. I address the question of the finiteness of the class of consistent and physically viable line bundle models constructed on this manifold. Line bundle sums are part of a moduli space of non-Abelian bundles and they provide an accessible window into this moduli space. I explore the moduli space of heterotic compactifications on the tetraquadric hypersurface around a locus where the vector bundle splits as a direct sum of line…

▼ The importance of sport employees is realized by the value they bring to sport organizations. As is with contemporary non-sport organizations, the duties and roles of all employees allow the organization to function properly and efficiently. Indeed, there has been a growing interest within the sport management discipline about the behaviors and attitudes of middle management employees (see Brimecombe, 2012; Oja, Bass, & Gordon, 2015; Swanson & Kent, 2015; Todd & Kent, 2009). The purpose of this dissertation was to specifically explore the concepts of Sport Employee Identification (SEI) brought forth by Oja et al. (2015). As part of this analysis, the two dimensions of Oja et al.’s (2015) SEI were retitled sport organizational identification and sport centric identification. To better understand SEI, it is important to ask how sport employees identify with their sport organization, how is such an identification cultivated, and how does this identification impact organizational outcomes. To explore the concept of SEI, a psychometric instrument was created. The guidelines set forth by Churchill (1979) were utilized to stipulate a rigorous developmental procedure. A focus group, an expert panel, and three separate data samples (i.e., N = 167, N = 244, N = 243) were used to begin the process of validating the instrument. The results were indications that there was a multidimensional construct that represented SEI and the two dimensions were similar to what Oja et al. (2015) had initially posited. From there, hypothesized antecedents and outcomes were examined with structural equation modeling. Two separate data collections (i.e., N = 516 and N = 555) – independent from the samples used to build the instrument – were used to statistically and theoretically investigate antecedents and outcomes related to SEI. Organizational, individual, and leadership antecedents were found to impact SEI at varying levels. Further, both dimensions of SEI did not have a relationship with counterproductive work behaviors, while the sport organizational identification dimension did positively impact sport employees’ job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and organizational citizenship behaviors. However, the sport centric dimension did not have any statistical impact on any of the outcome variables. The results are signs that much work remains with the understanding of sport employees. Yet, there are several practical and theoretical implications. It appears that sport employees have an identification with the sport aspect of their organizations. While there are ways by which sport administrators can grow or improve their employees’ degree of SEI, there are currently no known outcomes concerning the sport centric dimension. Future research is required to better understand the dimension and its possible outcomes. Advisors/Committee Members: Bass, Jordan R. (advisor), Clopton, Aaron W. (advisor), Gordon, Brian S.

▼ Abstract Due to the development and proliferation of information and communication technologies, peopleâs daily lives are indispensably relied on these tools. Based on concepts of safety, energy conservation, convenience, and comfort, intelligent buildingsâ designs have gradually become the main stream of the present and future architectures. Taiwan introduced the idea of the intelligent building since 1989. With the push of the automatic idea of the building, the security and surveillance systems integrators had become the new popular industry and the competition of the industry is more and more fierce. Understanding the key successful factors objectively is important of making administrative decision to security and surveillance systems integrator managers. In view of this, this research adopts the expert focus group interview and analytic hierarchy process theory. The author interview 10 high-level experts of the security and surveillance systems integrators and 10 customer experts of intelligence building traders to develop a set of the key success factors appraisal procedure to the security and surveillance systems integrators for intelligent buildings. Based on enterprise factor, staffs factor, and products factor, the author calculate the ranks and weights of the criterion and sub-criterion of the key successful factors. This can offer the security and surveillance systems integrator managers for intelligent buildings to make administrative decision. The study chooses three companies as an example to do empirical study, and compares their advantage and performance of the key successful factors. The result of study finds as follows. In criterion, the most important is produce factor, the less is staffs factor, and the end is enterprise factor. In sub-criterion, the most important is staff's professional ability technology, the less are price, products diversification, and customize degree. In ranks and weights, the last are productions separately, organized scale, and popularity and impressions. The conclusion can offer the security and surveillance systems integrator managers for intelligent buildings to make administrative decision.

This thesis examines the impact of conspiracy theories on the processes of nation-building and political developments in post-Soviet Russia. The main focus of the work is on the construction and utilization of the anti-Western conspiracy discourse by Russia’s political and intellectual elites in the public sphere with the aim of fostering social and national cohesion in the country. The thesis adopts the conceptual and methodological approach which has been developed by Mark Fenster. Fenster defines conspiracy theories as a populist theory of power, which possesses an important communicative function by helping to unite the audience as ‘the people’ against the imagined secretive “Other”. This understanding of conspiracy theories allows us to interpret the conspiratorial discourse as a means of expressing concerns about the inequities of a social system and of creating political identities by challenging the existing political order.Through the analysis of several case studies, the thesis offers a broad reassessment of the role, which conspiracy theories have been playing in the context of post-Soviet politics. The thesis starts with the study of the role of public intellectuals in the articulation of the anti-Western conspiracy discourse and analyzes the strategies of its dissemination in the public space through the media and book publishing. It is further demonstrated how these activities supply Russia’s political leadership with concepts, which are utilized to discursively polarize society between “the majority of the Russian people” and the “conspiring minority” of various civic actors with alleged links to the West. It is argued that in the past fourteen years this discursive divide has become a pivotal tool of the regime’s nation-building strategies and its attempts to suppress the opposition. The thesis reveals a particular importance of such strategies during electoral campaigns.The analysis of anti-Western conspiracy discourse demonstrates that nowadays the notion of conspiracy linked to the actions of the West has emerged as a crucial functional element of the regime’s ideological underpinnings. Such a discourse exploits people’s nostalgic sentiments about their country’s past greatness, justifies the introduction of restrictive laws and serves as a substitute for practical actions in achieving community cohesion. The thesis shows that anti-Western conspiracy theories have been actively produced by public intellectuals since the 1990s, many of whom have become loyal to the Kremlin in the 2000s. Since Putin’s first accession to power, a combined effort of these intellectuals and politicians has facilitated the shifting of conspiracy notions from the margins to the centre of the official political discourse, turning them into a major instrument of survival of the political elites.

This thesis examines the impact of conspiracy theories on the processes of nation-building and political developments in post-Soviet Russia. The main focus of the work is on the construction and utilization of the anti-Western…

▼ Scholars have indicated that construction operation inefficiency is due to particular complexity factors owing to industry specific uncertainties and interdependences. The study of complexity in construction has become an essential topic to provide advanced methods and concepts for construction industry. It also has raised valid questions: Is construction really complex or just complicated? More importantly, how to measure the complexity in building construction systems? This dissertation is based upon these two questions, and intend to fill the research gap that no quantitative complexity measurement has ever been found in research works. Comprehensive literature search is firstly used to make an embedded conceptual analysis of basic concepts of complex and complicated, to conclude building construction systems as complex systems and to metonymic map complex to construction domain. Chaos theory was then used to linked complex building construction systems and entropy complexity measurement together and proposed to use entropy algorithms to measure complexity in building construction. However, entropy in construction could be measured in multiple ways with different results. Therefore, three commonly used entropy algorithms, which are Approximate Entropy, Sample Entropy and Permutation Entropy, were compared along with Six Sigma Analysis and Maximal Lyapunov Exponent based on ten (10) pilots cases and their simulated cases. Two Rounds of simulation were conducted using Monte Carlo Simulation by MATLAB in order to generate more random number to represent different circumstances in building construction performance associate with different sample sizes. The outcomes indicated that the compared with Approximate Entropy and Permutation Entropy, the characteristics of Sample Entropy make be sensitively and efficiently to tell different construction performance circumstances apart by significant complexity measurement for either small sample or large sample. This quantitative measurement of complexity in building construction not only fill the knowledge gap; it also avoids the subjectivity of evaluators and set a unified standard for complexity measurement in building construction in the future research. Understanding complexity in construction management is important for two reasons: (1) to visualize how both complicated and complex traits exist in a construction project (object and social systems), and (2) to identify for stakeholders new types of managerial competencies and tools that reflect the understanding of complexity in construction.

▼ Over the last 25 years building rating systems have been developed to quantify and promote sustainable development in the construction industry. Many countries have now developed their own rating system and some systems have been adapted for international use. The different outcomes and results from their use have been under much scrutiny from developers, clients, industry, and academics. Concerns such as increased cost, points buying, and discrepancies between the rated design and completed projects have been identified. In order to better understand why these concerns occur, the Green Star New Zealand rating system – adapted from Green Star Australia – was studied to quantify its effects on rated projects. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of Green Star New Zealand on the decision making process. Specifically, the way in which this system affects the decision making processes during the design of a rated building was investigated to provide insight into reasons why these different outcomes may occur. This was undertaken through a classic grounded theory study during which professionals experienced in the use of Green Star were interviewed, and the data collected from the interviews was inductively analysed to generate conceptual theory and concepts. The interview data and discussion with the participants identified that decision making is affected largely through the different constraints and conditions encountered when using Green Star and how they are adapted to. These are applied to decision making through a number of different ways, being directly or indirectly related to Green Star, something decided on with or without prior experience, or internal or external to the design team. The analysis identified several categories which explained processes and behaviours resulting from the use of Green Star. These are ‘managing Green Star requirements’, ‘credit targeting’, ‘working with unknowns’, ‘disconnection of knowledge’, and ‘balancing project requirements’. It is these categories that caused adaptation to emerge as the primary process of resolving constraints, with ‘adapting to constraints’ emerging as the core variable.

▼ [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Taking an affective and cognitive approach toward effective conflict management communication, this study attempts to analyze the mediating and moderating factors affecting health journalists' perception processes about conflict issues in accordance with the conflict management life cycle. By integrating strategic conflict management, agenda-building theory, and the emotion of anger, this study investigates the following concerns: 1) how health journalists' perceptions of an organization's responsibility during a health-related crisis affect their expectations of the organization's stance and strategy; 2) if health journalists' levels of anger about a crisis mediate the relationship between their perceptions of an organization's responsibility for the crisis and their expectations of the organization's stance and strategy in response to the crisis; and 3) whether either the concept of agenda-building as an issue management technique or the expression of sympathy as an initial response to a crisis can be utilized to moderate (lessen) journalists' levels of anger in association with their perceptions of an organization's responsibility. To address these concerns, this study conducts a 2 x 2 x 2 mixed-subjects experiment with health journalists that examined organizational crisis responsibility (high vs. low), information explaining agenda-building (present vs. absent), and expression of sympathy (present vs. absent). The results of this study reveal that health journalists' perceptions of crisis responsibility affect their expectations of an organization's stance and strategy. Perceived crisis responsibility is newly proposed as an addition to the list of contingency factors as a situational variable. The results also indicate that health journalists' levels of anger function as a mediating factor in the relationship between their perceptions of crisis responsibility and their expectations of an organization's stance and strategy. It also provides a rationale for the need to identify moderating factors to lessen public anger before the public forms its expectations of an organization's stance. Even though the moderating effects, information explaining agenda-building, and expression of sympathy were not supported, this research represents an important initial step in the analysis of these moderating variables. It also represents a pioneering endeavor to test the function of agenda-building as a proactive issue management technique. This study provides a necessary addition to the development of public relations theory and acts as a launching point for subsequent research. In practical application, the results of this study add to the body of knowledge regarding the influence of public relations practitioners on the media, particularly in the health field, and may help practitioners to profit from their strategic conflict management decisions in response to a crisis.

▼ The building sector consumes a large part of the energy used in the United States and is responsible for nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is economically and environmentally important to reduce the building energy consumption to realize massive energy savings. Commercial buildings are complex, multi-physics, and highly stochastic dynamic systems. Recent work has focused on integrating modern modeling, simulation, and control techniques to solving this challenging problem. The overall focus of this thesis is directed toward designing an energy efficient building by controlling room temperature. One approach is based on a distributed parameter model represented by a three dimensional (3D) heat equation in a room with heater/cooler located at ceiling. The finite element method is implemented as part of a novel solution to this problem. A reduced order model of only few states is derived using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). A Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is computed based on the reduced model, and applied to the full order model to control room temperature. Also, a receding horizon constrained linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller is developed by minimizing energy cost of heating and cooling while satisfying hard and probabilistic temperature constraints. A stochastic receding horizon controller (RHC) is employed to solve the optimization problem with the so-called chance constraints governed by probability temperature levels. Furthermore, a constrained stochastic linear quadratic control (SLQC) approach was developed for such purposes. The cost function to be minimized is quadratic, and two different cases are considered. The first case assumes the disturbance is Gaussian and the problem is formulated to minimize the expected cost subject to a linear constraint and a probabilistic constraint. The second case assumes the disturbance is norm-bounded with distribution unknown and the problem is formulated as a min-max problem. By using SLQC, both problems are reduced to semidefinite optimization problems, where the optimal control may be computed efficiently. Later, some discussions on solving more requirements by SLQC are provided. Simulation and numerical results are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed techniques shown in this thesis.

▼ This thesis examines the impact of conspiracy theories on the processes of nation-building and political developments in post-Soviet Russia. The main focus of the work is on the construction and utilization of the anti-Western conspiracy discourse by Russia's political and intellectual elites in the public sphere with the aim of fostering social and national cohesion in the country. The thesis adopts the conceptual and methodological approach which has been developed by Mark Fenster. Fenster defines conspiracy theories as a populist theory of power, which possesses an important communicative function by helping to unite the audience as 'the people' against the imagined secretive "Other". This understanding of conspiracy theories allows us to interpret the conspiratorial discourse as a means of expressing concerns about the inequities of a social system and of creating political identities by challenging the existing political order. Through the analysis of several case studies, the thesis offers a broad reassessment of the role, which conspiracy theories have been playing in the context of post-Soviet politics. The thesis starts with the study of the role of public intellectuals in the articulation of the anti-Western conspiracy discourse and analyzes the strategies of its dissemination in the public space through the media and book publishing. It is further demonstrated how these activities supply Russia's political leadership with concepts, which are utilized to discursively polarize society between "the majority of the Russian people" and the "conspiring minority" of various civic actors with alleged links to the West. It is argued that in the past fourteen years this discursive divide has become a pivotal tool of the regime's nation-building strategies and its attempts to suppress the opposition. The thesis reveals a particular importance of such strategies during electoral campaigns. The analysis of anti-Western conspiracy discourse demonstrates that nowadays the notion of conspiracy linked to the actions of the West has emerged as a crucial functional element of the regime's ideological underpinnings. Such a discourse exploits people's nostalgic sentiments about their country's past greatness, justifies the introduction of restrictive laws and serves as a substitute for practical actions in achieving community cohesion. The thesis shows that anti-Western conspiracy theories have been actively produced by public intellectuals since the 1990s, many of whom have become loyal to the Kremlin in the 2000s. Since Putin's first accession to power, a combined effort of these intellectuals and politicians has facilitated the shifting of conspiracy notions from the margins to the centre of the official political discourse, turning them into a major instrument of survival of the political elites.

▼ The thesis explores peace-building processes in the city of Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria with a specific focus on the depth of youth participation in peace-building initiatives. The study revolves around the 2000 to 2010 era bearing in mind that this epoch was characterised by unceasing outbursts of conflicts in the city. It employed a qualitative design with thirty purposively selected respondents. Respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured interview instruments. The interviews generated detailed empirical data that illuminated various peace-building initiatives and the depth of youth participation in these initiatives in Jos. Academics and practitioners have identified peace-building as a potential technique could ensure sustainability of peace in conflict-prone societies. Since the early 90s, the United Nations have popularised peace-building efforts via its peace-building frameworks in making available a strategic response to violent conflicts and its causes. Guided by the human security conceptual framework and civic participatory theory, this study contributes to the debate on how the youth can genuinely and adequately participate in peace-building initiatives in Jos and globally. The comprehension of the concept of human security introduces a shift away from the traditional state-oriented security approach which gives rise to the utilization of military power based on the quest for state security. Human security draws attention to humans, both as individuals and groups, in a society. Findings from this study demonstrate that the Nigerian government and the Plateau State government in particular, are progressively subscribing to the idea of the human security oriented approach to peacebuilding over the State security approach. Although a lot need to be done in this respect, the identified peace-building initiatives are indicative of developments in the right direction. Included in some of the notable forms of peace-building initiatives that emerged from the analysis of the study’s empirical data, are the establishment of commissions of inquiry, the formation of inter-religious council, the appointment of the Special Advisor to the Governor on peace-building and trust and capacity building programs. Analysis of these initiatives revealed the strategic marginalisation of youth in peace-building processes. Peace-building endeavours such as trust and capacity building programs were manipulated and exploited rather than making a credible effort towards peace. These elements in some of the peacebuilding initiatives coupled with the total neglect of youth in other peace-building initiatives summed up the unscrupulous nature of the identified peace-building initiatives in Jos and consequently remaining stuck to the perimeter of Arnstein’s non-participation and tokenism in the ladder of participation. This study therefore, recommends the development of a comprehensive peace-building policy and civic participatory framework. A framework that facilitates and guides stakeholders effort towards genuine youth… Advisors/Committee Members: Uzodike, Nwabufo Okeke. (advisor), Maeresera, Sadiki. (advisor).

▼ This study conducted a pre-fieldwork assessment of an informed, conceptual, multi-level model developed to represent the elements and their interactions necessary to the formulation of national human resource development (NHRD) policy. The model was conceptualized through integration of existing HRD knowledge and practice around NHRD with concepts drawn from the economic, political, and socio-cultural foundations of human development (HD) for national growth and performance. The sum of these sources was extended by the researcher-theorist’s imagination around the possibilities of NHRD, and grounded in her own lived experience of NHRD. The model is comprised of seven constructs for data collection: (a) national background and current characteristics, (b) national resources (including human resources), (c) governance and power structure amongst actors, stakeholders, and potential partners, (d) national economic, political, and socio-cultural environment, and (e) integration at the individual/organizational, community/regional, and national levels, all situated under the (f) national governance structure and within the (g) global megatrends shaping the world community. Two pre-fieldwork tests were applied to the model to analyze logic and structure, and to assess capacity for conveying rich description and providing for nuanced understanding of human processes. The two tests were: (a) a critical-realist evaluation employing hypothetico-deductive criteria of excellence for development of theory with the addition of newly-derived criteria for assessment of multi-level models, and (b) an interpretivist assessment applying social constructivist quality criteria for judging theory in the applied disciplines, including HRD. Comparison of outcomes obtained through evaluation from competing paradigms of inquiry determined the readiness of the model, in its present form, for research operationalization and empirical testing with national data and through naturalistic exploration of human activities and meaning-making around the formulation of NHRD. The capacity of the model, and of multi-level methodology for construction of theory to guide the collection and analysis of data and to support sufficient interpretation required to formulate responsible policy, was affirmed. The model was determined to be worthy of application for maximizing returns on investment in the human resources, as well as for insuring that the experience of NHRD might be equitably extended to people of all nations comprising our global community.

▼ Product recalls in the food industry are unavoidable and can be costly in terms of dollar losses, brand damage and consumer health. Despite the severe repercussions of food recalls, little is known about (1) how companies can increase the effectiveness of their recall process; (2) what factors increase the severity of recalls in the food industry; and (3) where food companies should focus their efforts in order to efficiently develop recall capabilities. As more food products are grown globally and imported into the United States, food supply chains are increasing in length and complexity, which further hinders a firm’s ability to recall products. The purpose of this dissertation is to conduct an in-depth systemic investigation of product recalls in food supply chains and shed light on this extremely important, yet underdeveloped, research area that may have severe repercussions. In my first essay, I develop a knowledge driven framework of product recalls in food supply chains. In this framework, I establish the five primary components of a recall process and discuss various phases within each component. In my second essay, I investigate what factors increase the severity of product recalls in food supply chains and where companies should focus their efforts and resources to effectively develop recall capabilities. Because of the lack of empirical research on product recalls in the extant supply chain literature, the case research methodology is employed in both essays. Data for these studies were collected from 21 cases, including 55 semi-structured interviews, archival records, on-site visits (including observation of a mock recall), and focus groups. By strategically selecting various firms along the food supply chain, including farmers, manufacturers, distribution centers, logistic providers, retailers, government agencies and other food industry experts, this dissertation provides a holistic understanding of product recalls in food supply chains.

▼ The primary focus of this work is to explore and describe a proposed decision process for use in controlling heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in buildings. The larger problem that houses the decision process is structured as a multi-agent building control system. This is because multi-agent systems are an effective way to incorporate new sources of external and sporadic information into the basic system. In this study, sources of occupant information are used to demonstrate the decision process. The decision process begins with agents formulating context specific opinions using a method that is derived from Bayesian Networks and probabilistic graphical modeling. From there, agents convey their preferences using conditional game theory, setting up the group of agents for action. While there are a variety of action procedures that could be used, the process was developed with Nash equilibriums in mind. The Nash equilibriums, however, were not yet successfully implemented due to the early stages of the social influence modeling. Instead, a basic social welfare function was employed to demonstrate the decision process for a setpoint decision context. A three zone, variable air volume simulator was developed in MATLAB to represent a physical environment and to act as a reference case for typical PI control. The simulator is then used for exploring and describing the decision process implementation, which is run in parallel to the basic system simulator. The Bayesian Network-based opinion formulation method developed by this work holds promise and has been found to merit further development. A component of the conditional game structure, rejectability, was not found to be a natural context for use in the setpoint decision context, but it may be improved upon. Overall, systems integration was desired and appears possible by implementing the decision process.
