▼ This interpretative phenomenological analysis examined what influenced10 women's decisions to become rural community college presidents in the
western region of the
US. The themes which emerged were how career history shaped decisions; the role groups played in women's decision to become presidents; the importance of rural roots and the "right fit"; the influence of gender on women's decisions to become presidents; and advice for women seeking rural community college presidential positions. Ten women shared their experiences. Women shared why they decided to become rural community college presidents. Women discovered their self-efficacy and internal strengths through pure determination, grit, and verve in becoming rural community college presidents. These women credited their successes to their education, pursuit of advanced administrative positions, personal experiences, professional development opportunities, mentors who helped them build their confidence, and the support of their families. The majority of women arriving at the rural community college presidency in this study had rural roots and a desire to live rurally. All women in the study discussed the significance of engaging in local community activities and events, civic clubs, and the importance of understanding the local culture. Relationships in the community meant everything and strong interpersonal skills were critical for being successful. Women were passionate about serving at rural community colleges and the primary role of connecting with the community. Women shared that one should be prepared to live in a fishbowl with everyone knowing your business.

▼ The manner in which the United States understands the background, motivations, and
aspirations of the participants in the Arab Spring within the Maghreb
Region will have
significant implications for the development of future National Security Policy.
In an effort to better quantify this understanding, this work presents an analysis of the
following three alternative scenarios: 1) The Arab Spring leads to internal conflict and
Regime Change of Pro American Ally, which is detrimental to U.S. National Security
Interests; 2) The Arab Spring leads to internal conflict and Regime Change of Anti-American
regime, which produces a positive change in
US National Security Interests; and 3) The Arab
Spring leads to a protracted civil war and national dismemberment, which harms
US National
Security Interests in the
region. A thorough analysis of these three possibilities as led to a
key realization.
The relative stability of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco is a definite positive aspect of the
post-Arab Spring transition. However, there is still significant instability in Libya as well as
Al Qaeda in the Maghreb’s (AQIM) continued capability to operate from Mali and southern
Algeria. This will make the Maghreb
region a potential flash point in Arab-
Western
relations, and it therefore also makes the Maghreb a
region of strategic interest to the United
States.

▼ In order to investigate the seasonal patterns of mortality and culling, and the relationship between 305-days milk yield and those two traits, termination codes from Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) were used to define mortality and culling, for
the analysis. The records from 1999 to 2008 were obtained from US Holstein cows in first three parities in the Southeast, Southwest, and Northeast of United States. Higher mortality and culling rate in summer indicated that heat stress may be one of the
possible factors that cause health, reproduction, and production related problems. Low estimated heritability showed the difficulty on improvement in these traits by selection. However, positive correlation between mortality and 305-days milk yield
denoted that high milk production could be an indicator of high risk of mortality. Also, negative correlation between culling and milk production indicated preferential veterinary care on high milk producing cows.

▼ Background: Stroke is a life-changing event which leaves the stroke survivors with varied degrees of disability requiring a lot of assistance from their informal caregivers who require substantial amounts of uncompensated time and energy to carry out their activities of daily living over a prolonged duration of time. The informal caregivers are therefore exposed to physical, psychological, social and financial problems, commonly reported as burden which affects their quality of life and may further compromise the stroke survivor’s recovery.
Objectives: This study sought to give a deeper understanding of the burden of caregiving on informal caregivers of stroke survivors and the possible factors that contribute to the burden.
Method: This facility based cross sectional study involved 118 pairs of stroke survivors and their informal caregivers over a 2 month period. Structured questionnaires were used to obtain quantitative data on socio-demographic and background characteristics, caregiver burden and level of disability whiles focus group discussion was used to obtain qualitative data. Descriptive analysis was done for socio-demographic data whiles Chi-square and logistic regression were used for inferential analysis at a significance level of p<0.05 and 95% confidence interval. Recorded discussions were transcribed verbatim and analysed by content thematic analysis.
Results: One hundred and eighteen (118) pairs of informal caregivers and stroke survivors were surveyed in this study. Prevalence of caregiving burden was 74.6%, 66.9%, 63.6%, and 51.7% in the financial, physical, psychological and social domains respectively. Caregiving burden was significantly (p≤0.05) influenced by caregiver’s sex, number of tasks performed, level of stroke survivor’s disability, caregiver’s level of income, presence of comorbidities, employment status of caregiver and infrastructure at the physiotherapy department.
Conclusion: A greater proportion of the informal caregivers reported to be burdened, with high moderate-severe burden in the financial domain. Caregiver factors; sex, number of tasks performed, employment status, level of income, comorbidities, stroke survivor factors; level of disability, comorbidities and health care facility factors; infrastructure at the physiotherapy facility contributed to the burden of care. These findings suggest the need for further research focused on the needs of informal caregivers and interventions to address their challenges.

▼ Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) is a management agency for small scale
farmers. It is responsible of the management of smallholder tea through provision of
extension services, production inputs, green leaf collection, processing and
marketing of processed tea on behalf of the smallholders. KTDA Ltd. currently
manages 53 tea factories in the smallholder sub-sector serving over 400,000
growers.
It has been observed in many years that farmers complain of poor service especially
in communication and information flow between farmers and factory management
who are representatives of KTDA.
The purpose of this study is to design ICT based communication architecture for tea
delivery and processing of Payments using cellular technology.
The methodology of the study focuses on analyzing the system delivery of the KTDA
and the impacts of the services on tea production. The method used to gather
secondary and primary data was through document review, interviews, observation
and questionnaires
The main finding of the study is that tea collection records are manually entered in
farmers' cards and on tea buying clerk record book. There is no proper coordination
of transport management especially during tea collection that leads to uncollected tea
at tea buying centres.
The key contribution of the study was to design a framework to solve farmers' issues
relating to the communication breakdown in the delivery and processing of tea
products.

▼ Abstract
â
Western areasâis a very Vague concept to indicate a relative position in a particular sector. Since the 1950s'ï¹this expression has often been shrouded in uncertainty. The earliest division mainly indicated the coastal areas of the countryï¹the interior and remote areas. Economically speakingï¹only two major areasï¹are being referred toï¹coastal and interior. Laterï¹under the guiding thought of preparation against warï¹firstï¹second and third lines were delimitedï¼including the big third line and the small third lineï¼. For the last few yearsï¹the division into easternï¹central and werstern areas has also been in usage .Though at different times the aim of division ï¹all recognized that the level of economic development was completely out of balance. Objectively ï¹three economic areas existï¼east ï¹center and west.
The
western areas of the People's Republic of China are vast. Their total area is 5,280,000 square kilometer or 55% of the whole country's territory. The population numbers more than 230 millionâabout 23% of the country total population. In economic exploitation the
western areas are in comparison with the central or eastern areasï¹relatively backward.
The
western areasï¹although their topography is complicated and difficult of acess have with their threeâdimensional limate and the perpendicular distribution of flora and fauna which are comparatively concentrated a wide variety of resources. With the rapid development of the economy of our countryï¹development is bound to start from the eastern seaboard and gradually develop toward the center and the
western areas . The exploitation of the latter will strategically become more and more important in China' economy.

▼ This study investigates occurrences of technical innovation successfully delivered by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry in the Greater Sydney area. A literature search identified five factors that potentially affect the delivery of technical innovation. These can be summarised under the headings: Company resources; Client and end-user influences; Project-based conditions; Industry networks; The regulatory climate. Under each factor, several related sub-factors were also identified. Mixed method research: Because the management of innovation essentially involves a human element, it was decided that a mixed methods approach would be taken. Any convergences that emerge in the results from the different research strategies can be seen as equating to robustness in the conclusions that may be drawn. Purposive sampling was used to identify potential respondents to a quantitative survey. The main eligibility criterion was a proven track record in delivering a significant technical innovation in the construction market. As the surveys were carried out face-to-face, respondents were restricted to locations in the greater Sydney
region and the
western hinterland as far as Bathurst in regional NSW. The information contained in the surveys was de-identified for ethical reasons and only aggregate data is presented in this thesis. Seven illustrative case studies which represent the storylines of successful innovation delivery are presented in this thesis. All the technical innovations studied involve significant measurable improvements which may be measured in economic, environmental or social terms and some represent improvements in multiple fields. The case studies were chosen because they represent unique examples of a relatively rare phenomenon; that is, the successful delivery of a high-level technical innovation by a SME construction company. Information on the seven case studies was gathered from multiple sources including trade literature, industry-focused magazines, company websites and personal observation. The case studies were classified by descriptive innovation categories depending on whether the innovation was considered to be proactive or reactive, bounded or unbounded, and intuitive or analytical.

Chemical re-equilibration and dynamic recrystallization of minerals in the Almklovdalen Peridotite Massif, SW Norway.

▼ The
Western Gneiss
Region (WGR) of SW Norway is characterized by the occurrence of numerous garnet peridotite bodies that were emplaced from the hanging-wall mantle into the subducted country rock gneisses of the Baltic basement by continental collision during the Scandian phase of the Caledonian orogeny (430-390 Ma). The Almklovdalen Peridotite Massif (APM) is one of such garnet peridotite bodies. The main objective of this Msc thesis is to determine the physical conditions (in terms of pressure and temperature) under which mantle rocks of the APM were emplaced into the subducting continental crust, when the coarse grained mantle wedge M1 porphyroclast assemblage recrystallized into a finer grained M2 assemblage. This is done by electron microprobe (EMP) analyses on samples/minerals from the APM and the application of geothermobarometric calculations to the results of the EMP analyses. The EMP analyses on minerals from the M1 porphyroclast assemblage yield homogeneous chemical profiles (linescans) for the most abundant elements interpreted to be a result of chemical re-equilibration by solid state diffusion during Scandian metamorphism. The contents of less mobile elements like Al in orthopyroxene and Cr in garnet are however lower in minerals from the M2 assemblage than in minerals from the M1 assemblage and have not completely re-equilibrated. Cr in garnet allowed the distinction between high-Cr M1 garnet porphyroclasts and low-Cr M2 garnet, which recrystallized together with M2 Cr-spinel during Scandian deformation/metamorphism. Geothermobarometry results yield similar temperature estimates for the M1 and M2 assemblage near 750 °C at 35 kbar when using the geothermometer/ geobarometer combination of T[OpxBK90] and p[NimisTaylor00], but an underestimation in PT conditions occurs for the M1 assemblage when the combination of T[OpxBK90] and p[BKN90] are used due to the high Al content of M1 orthopyroxene. The lower amount of Al in M2 orthopyroxene, together with the higher pressure estimate for the M2 assemblage from geothermobarometery suggest that the Scandian crustal emplacement of the APM may have involved prograde metamorphism.

▼ The study of ultrahigh-pressure terranes informs our understanding of continental collision, subduction, and exhumation in both ancient and modern orogens. However, these studies rarely focus on the metamorphosed continental crust that forms the bulk of ultrahigh-pressure terranes. Here, we document a combined petrologic and structural investigation of mylonite zones in metamorphosed continental crust of the ultrahigh-pressure Western Gneiss Region of Norway that sheds light on the exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure terranes through the study of the continental crust. One of these shear zones, the Salt Mylonite Zone, is a prime example of the importance of the quartzofeldspathic gneiss that is associated with ultrahigh-pressure (coesite-bearing) eclogite. Eclogite in the Salt mylonite zone preserves quartz fabrics formed near UHP conditions (prism <c> fabric) and omphacite fabrics that are consistent with constrictional deformation near UHP conditions. Ti-in-quartz thermobarometry indicates equilibration of eclogite at temperatures > 750 °C and for quartzofeldspathic gneiss indicates quartz deformation/recrystallization took place over a range of temperatures from near UHP conditions to amphibolite facies conditions. Gneiss in the Salt Mylonite Zone preserves two dominant microstructures: phase-separated gneiss and phase-mixed gneiss. Despite preserving the same assemblage and being in close proximity (shared pressure and temperature conditions), fabrics between the two gneiss types differ due to habit. In both gneiss types, reverse zoning in plagioclase (Na-rich cores, Ca-rich rims) is ubiquitous. The compositional zoning records grain growth by grain boundary migration during exhumation-induced decompression. The study of the Salt Mylonite Zone is proof that shear zones in continental crust preserve a vital record of exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure terranes. Preliminary studies were conducted on two additional shear zones, The Finnøya Mylonite Zone and the Svartberget Mylonite Zone. Like the Salt Mylonite Zone, both contain evidence of deformation over a wide range of conditions. The Finnøya Mylonite Zone contains clinopyroxene-garnet gneiss with a composition similar to associated deformed eclogite pods. This shear zone, in particular, suggests that eclogite may have experienced extensive melting and mylonitization during exhumation from peak conditions. The Svartberget Mylonite Zone is composed of paragneiss and was deformed at sillimanite-stable conditions. The associated mafic material was synkinematically deformed as evidenced by elongate, foliation-parallel amphibolite and retrogressed eclogite pods. The abundant shear zones in the Western Gneiss Region of Norway record local exhumation from UHP to amphibolite-facies conditions. Understanding the deformational history of these individual shear zones can contribute to the overall understanding of the exhumation of the WGR.

▼ Garnet-omphacite gneisses from the island of Otrøy situated in Western Gneiss Region (WGR), Norway, Scandinavian Caledonides, were examined within this study. The WGR is one of the planets most studied ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) terranes. The studied gneisses are hosts for UHP garnet peridotites and eclogites. The presence of the high pressure mineral assemblage including e.g. omphacite and phengite together with assumed remnants of pseudomorphic transition of formerly stable coesite present in omphacite and garnet, suggest formation of the Otrøy gneisses during ultrahigh pressure metamorphism (UHPM). However, geothermobarometry based on the mineral assemblage composed of garnet + clinopyroxene + phengite yielded pressure-temperature conditions of c. 880˚C and 2.2 GPa, characteristic for just high pressure metamorphism. Nevertheless, it can be concluded that the Otrøy gneisses were formed due to the deep burial of continental crust during the continent-continent collision. This study provides insights into the understanding of the deep subduction of continental crust and expands our knowledge about the complex metamorphic and tectonic evolution of the WGR and the Scandinavian Caledonides.
Granat-omphacitförande gnejser från ön Otrøy i Western Gneiss Region (WGR), Norge, Skandinaviska Kaledoniderna, har undersöks i den här studien. WGR är ett av världens mest studerade område för ultrahögtryckmetamorfa bergarter. I den här typen av gnejser förekommer linser av ultrahögtrycksbergarter så som granat-peridotiter och eklogiter. I den studerade Otrøygnejsen förekommer bland annat phengit och omphacit med inneslutningar av sannolika pseudomorfer efter coesit. Detta visar på att Otrøygnejsen troligen har bildats under metamorfos vid ultrahöga tryck. Geotermobarometriundersökningen, baserat på granat + clinopyroxen + phengitsystemet, visar att tryck- och temperaturförhållandena var ca.880 ˚C och 2.2 GPa. Det innebär att gnejsen metamorfoserats inom intervallet karaktäristiskt för högtrycksmetamorfos. Likväl, kan det fastställas att Otrøygnejsen bildats till följd av en djup subduktion under kontinent-kontinentkollision. Den här studien bidrar till en ökad förståelse av processerna som påverkar den kontinentala skorpan vid djup subduktion och vidgar våra kunskaper om den komplexa metamorfa och tektoniska utvecklingen i WGR och de Skandinaviska Kaledoniderna.

▼ Territorial disputes have since long been a source of conflict. Still today, economic, political and security interests lead to rising tensions in areas with disputed territories. To date, two of these hot areas are the South China Sea (SCS) and the waters of the Arctic
region.
In the SCS, Chinese claims and activities stand out. In the past years, China has not only continued its, by the international society regarded unlawful, claims of waters, islands and reefs in the area, it has also started to build islands on which it engages in military activities. Initially, the United States (
US) was not keen on getting involved in the numerous disputes over territory and adopted a policy of refusing to comment on or participate in any of the clashes. Lately however, the
US has expressed its disapproval of Chinese activities and it has transferred vessels to the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) states to contain the Chinese threat in the area (Yoon, 2015). Free access to the SCS is of high importance to the
US, both economically as well as geopolitically (Bouchat, 2014), and it considers the respect for international law a national interest (Landler, 2010; Lajeunesse & Huebert, 2019). In addition to the SCS, the Arctic
region too has been the scene of controversy for the states surrounding it (Birdwell, 2016). Due to the effects of climate change, the Arctic is now an area with ample opportunities and potential for the winning of natural resources (Conley & Kraut, 2011). Clearly, high economic and strategic interests are at stake in the changing polar
region. The effects of climate change have made the Arctic Circle into a centre of geopolitics and territorial disputes with direct implications for
US security. Despite these high stakes, the
US has mostly lagged behind on other states.
The position of the
US in the disputes in these highly strategic areas is noteworthy. It raises the question why the hegemon of this current, unipolar world, does not take on a more active and assertive role. If it wants to maintain its unique position, why does it seem as is if it has been reluctant to address these possible threats to its position?

▼ Over the last three decades, rural, isolated communities in the
Western U.S. have contended with five intersecting challenges: environmental degradation from past fire suppression, resource extraction, and intensive use; the need to build community resilience amidst a changing climate; a downturn in natural resource-based economies; a desire for economic opportunities beyond tourism and recreation; and demographic trends such as aging and declining populations. This report identifies and studies communities that have responded to these challenges by fostering stewardship economy (SE) activities, which use environmental stewardship as an economic and community development strategy. Three research methods were employed: a literature review and semi-structured interviews with ten individuals to determine criteria and candidate communities for selection as case studies; a series of case studies, which involved semi-structured interviews with more than 80 individuals in thirteen communities; and cross-case analysis to identify strategies and activities employed by these communities and the factors that have enabled and constrained their success.
The thirteen communities studied have engaged in a broad array of activities. Activities ranged from those with direct ecological and economic impacts — such as forest and watershed restoration conducted by local contractors — to those that enable on-the-ground work, such as building partnerships and networks to coordinate cross-boundary stewardship. SE activities were supported by a range of factors. At the local level, sustained leadership, a strong sense of place, and a shared community vision enabled SE activities, while state and national policies and programs provided key funding and authorization for communities. Institutional support also played an important role, including financial support from foundations and individual donors and local and regional partnerships. Also critical was the existence of local assets and infrastructure to build upon. Although communities have advanced SE activities with some success, this success has been constrained by limited financial stability, capital, and administrative capacity. On top of capacity limitations, SE activities often received insufficient support from government agencies and/or local public officials. Other constraining factors include ecological complexity and uncertainty exacerbated by climate change, fluctuations in and difficulty accessing markets for SE products, and state and federal land management policies that are unresponsive to local contexts.
Drawing on this research, we propose recommendations for advancing SE activities, targeted to communities, community organizations, regional and national organizations, agencies, policymakers, foundations, and researchers. Across the board, communities advancing SE activities need both financial and intellectual capital, buy-in from individuals and organizations within and outside of the community, increased organizational capacity, and more responsive state and…

Oil-source correlations are based on the concept that certain compositional parameters of migrated oil do not differ significantly from those of bitumen remaining in the source rocks. This similarity though heritage can range from bulk properties, such as stable carbon isotope compositions, to individual compound ratios. Detailed oil-source rock correlations provide important information on the origin and possible paths of migration of oils that lead to additional exploration plays, and are helpful for reconstructing petroleum reservoir accumulation histories and fuel resource assessments. Biomarkers play a critical role in geochemical correlations. However, for Precambrian organic matter, there are significant difficulties doing oil-source rock correlations because of the likely high thermal maturity of the sedimentary organic matter, the sometimes low organic matter abundance, the small amount of geochemical information, and problems of contamination and over-printing. For highly mature exploration areas, attempts to objectively analyse the geochemical characteristics of crude oils based on a large geochemical data set, and how to evaluate source rocks more accurately, so as to improve the understanding of reservoir relationships and predicting petroleum resource are becoming more urgent problems at the moment. In this thesis, two representative fields were selected, the Neo-Mesoproterozoic sequence of the Yanshan Region and the highly mature exploration area of the Western Depression of the Liaohe Basin, in order to specifically answer correlation and other geochemical problems. – The first of these case studies involves the marine sediments of the Yanshan Region which are some of the least deformed and least thermally mature hydrocarbon-bearing Neo-Mesoproterozoic sequences in China. The oil shows and seeps are mainly distributed in the reservoir sequences of the Xiamaling Formation (ca.1368 Ma), Tieling Formation and Wumishan Formation, which are probably derived either from the underlying organic-rich Hongshuizhuang Formation, or from kerogen within the Gaoyuzhuang Formation, as there are no known source rocks in the section. The 27 m thick mudstone of the Hongshuizhuang Formation has total organic carbon (TOC) levels of up to 5.5% and eqRomarine of about 1.7%. The other potential source rock (dolomite from the Gaoyuzhuang Formation) has TOC levels around 2.7% with 2.2% eqRomarine. Three outcrop source rocks were sampled from these two sequences and kerogen catalytic hydrogenation was performed in order to get more geochemical information on these high thermal maturity samples. Another two source rocks from drilling cores using standard solvent extraction have been analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). As for the either contaminated or biodegraded oil seeps, two samples rich in oil-bearing fluid inclusions (FI), (1) a limestone sample from the Tieling Formation, and (2) a…

Characterizing and Modeling Hydroclimate Extremes in the Western US.

▼ In the semi-arid
western US, water resources infrastructure such as dams, levies, and canals provide a reliable water supply, flood mitigation, and hydropower generation. The ability to manage these aging infrastructure efficiently for hydroclimate extremes such as floods, in a nonstationary climate, is crucial for the sustainability of the
region. Traditional methods for analyzing hydroclimate extremes assume stationarity of climate in space and time and do not capture uncertainty in a robust manner, leading to inaccurate estimation and misrepresentation of risk. This dissertation is motivated by the need for a mechanistic understanding of hydroclimate extremes and a general framework to model them across the entire
western US, while maintaining a robust quantification of uncertainty. To this end, this dissertation makes four contributions: (1) Identification of eight seasonally dependent and spatially coherent regions for precipitation extremes in the
western US and the dominant moisture sources and delivery pathways for each
region. Extreme value clustering and storm trajectory analysis were used in this effort. (2) Development of a Bayesian hierarchical spatial model for precipitation extremes in large regions, such as the
western US, incorporating data from thousands of observation locations. This model can produce maps of gridded return levels and to simulate gridded precipitation extremes at any resolution, with associated uncertainties. (3) Development of a Bayesian hierarchical model for joint nonstationary precipitation and streamflow frequency analysis in rainfall-runoff dominated basins such as those in the southwest
US. Peak streamflow is modeled as a consequence of spatial precipitation extremes, allowing for temporal nonstationarity from climate covariates. (4) Development of a general hierarchical Bayesian multivariate nonstationary frequency analysis framework with an application to dam safety analysis. In this, the peak snow depth and peak streamflow are linked to reservoir water level and, consequently, dam safety. These contributions provide new insights into the mechanisms influencing hydroclimate extremes in the
western US and offer new frameworks for spatial, nonstationary, and multivariate modeling of extremes with an emphasis on the robust quantification of uncertainties. These contributions have significant applicability to engineering design, planning, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies for managing aging infrastructure under changing climate hazards.

▼ Ozone (O3) is a respiratory irritant and is hazardous to human health. O3 pollution is prevalent in urban areas but is also influenced by the transport of wildfire smoke. When wildfire smoke mixes with urban emissions, observed impacts on O3 are highly variable and not well understood. In this work, I investigate O3 impacts from smoke in 18
western US cities during late summer (July to September) from 2013 to 2017. To do so, I use ground-based monitoring data for O3, NOx (nitrogen oxides), and PM2.5 (particulate matter < 2.5 µm in diameter) from Air Quality System sites and satellite-based hazard mapping system (HMS) fire and smoke product to identify overhead smoke. I present three key findings. First, O3 and PM2.5 are elevated at nearly all sites on days influenced by smoke, with the greatest mean enhancement occurring during multiday smoke events; nitrogen oxides (NOx) are not consistently elevated across sites. Second, PM2.5 and O3 exhibit a nonlinear relationship such that O3 increases with PM2.5 at low to moderate 24-h PM2.5, peaks around 30-50 μg m-3, and declines at higher PM2.5. Third, the rate of increase of morning O3 is higher and NO/NO2 ratios are lower on smoke-influenced days, which could result from additional atmospheric oxidants in smoke. In addition, I note that while the HMS product is a useful tool for identifying smoke, O3 and PM2.5 are elevated on days before and after HMS-identified smoke events implying that a significant fraction of smoke events is not detected. These findings motivate further research, particularly with high quality NOx and photolysis measurements. I conclude with a brief description of these measurements taken at Mount Bachelor Observatory during the 2019 FIREX-AQ campaign, which provide a rich dataset to explore the complexities of O3 photochemistry in smoke.

▼ Esta tese analisa o processo de metropolização do espaço na Amazônia Ocidental a partir da institucionalização da Região Metropolitana de Manaus, ocorrida em maio de 2007. Para tanto é feita uma análise que considera três dimensões atuantes no espaço e que contribuem para a sua produção e expressão socioespacial. Esta tríade analítica é composta pela dimensão política, que produz as ações determinantes na institucionalização da região metropolitana, pela dimensão jurídica, que confere a base de ação da dimensão política e lhe dá legitimidade para esta ação, e por fim a dimensão ideológica, que se imbrica com as duas outras e produz os discursos, as idéias, produzindo dessa forma novas práticas e novas formas de produção do espaço. Esta imbricação vai produzir uma quarta dimensão, a síntese das imbricações entre as três anteriores, constituindo a dimensão socioespacial. É a partir desse pressuposto que é analisada a institucionalização da região metropolitana, e a metropolização, que se caracteriza por um processo de indução a que espaços não metropolizados se tornem espaços metropolizados, visto que, pela dimensão jurídica, ambos constituem espaços metropolitanos, pois ao se instituir um conjunto de municípios limítrofes à metrópole como municípios metropolitanos, se confere um caráter de legitimidade jurídica, o que possibilita tanto ao Estado, com a infraestrutura, quanto ao capital privado, não somente mas principalmente com o setor imobiliário, atuarem nesse processo de metropolização induzida. Ou seja, primeiro se delimita, se estabelece um marco jurídico a esta delimitação e posteriormente se estabelecem as ações, produzindo realidades que irão conflitar com aquelas já existentes, destruindo espacialidades preexistentes e estabelecendo outras, cujo caráter será metropolitano. É o que já se pode constatar numa pequena parte da Região Metropolitana de Manaus, no município de Iranduba, onde se percebe a intensidade das ações do Estado e do setor imobiliário. Mas isso não ocorre em todos os lugares daquela que se constitui numa região metropolitana de dimensões territoriais superlativas. Careiro da Várzea não faz parte desse processo, mesmo estando próximo à metrópole e sendo um dos municípios metropolitanos. O gigantismo desta região metropolitana singular permite, portanto, a compreensão da complexidade do que vem a ser a regionalização metropolitana na Amazônia, especialmente de sua porção ocidental, com todas as contradições inerentes às imbricações envolvidas na produção do espaço
This thesis analyzes the process of space metropolis in western Amazonia from the institutionalization of the Metropolitan Region of Manaus, which occurred in May 2007. Much is taken for an analysis that considers three dimensions in space active and contributing to its production and expression socioespacial. This analytical triad consists of the political dimension, which produces decisive actions in the institutionalization of the metropolitan area, the legal dimension, which gives the basis for policy action dimension and…

▼ Groundwater in the Pliocene to Pleistocene fractured and jointed Newer Volcanics basaltic aquifer system beneath Melbourne's industrialised western suburbs is extensively contaminated by a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds. Groundwater in Tertiary sediments underlying the Newer Volcanics is probably also contaminated by the same sources. The main objectives of this research were 1) to assess the types, concentrations, and distribution of contaminants in the Newer Volcanics aquifer system in Melbourne's western suburbs and at a selected contaminated site and 2) to determine contaminant transport, attenuation, and degradation processes affecting organic contaminants in this aquifer system. Contaminants detected in the Newer Volcanics aquifer system during this research include phenols, volatile organic compounds, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, metals, and inorganic anions.
The groundwater flow system in the study area comprises a single heterogeneous and anisotropic unconfined aquifer, and includes both the Newer Volcanics and underlying sedimentary units (the Brighton Group and the Werribee Formation), although hydraulic connection of these units to the volcanics is irregular. Groundwater flow in the Newer Volcanics is through vesicular and/or scoriaceous lava flow tops and bottoms, in intercalated fluvial deposits, and through the fractured and jointed lava flows. Locally (scale of less than I km square), the basaltic aquifer system may consist of hydraulically separated shallow and deep aquifer zones that are connected on a larger scale. The deep aquifer zones may be semi-confined to confined. Groundwater in the study area is recharged via throughflow from upgradient and infiltration of rainfall. Discharge from the Newer Volcanics in the study area is primarily to underlying sedimentary formations, but also to surface water features and directly to Port Phillip Bay.
Several mechanisms which reduce contaminant concentrations are possible in the Newer Volcanics aquifer system. These include volatilisation, dispersion and diffusion, transient storage, matrix diffusion, sorption, hydrolysis, and biodegradation. However, the nature of porosity in the Newer Volcanics may significantly extend the lifetime of contaminant plumes via the processes of transient storage and matrix diffusion.
The primary mechanisms of attenuation and degradation of organic contaminants in the Newer Volcanics aquifer system are probably biodegradation, matrix diffusion, sorption, and dispersion (for non-reactive contaminants) in order of decreasing effect. Biodegradation at the water table and discharge areas will also be significant because of atmospheric contact and increased dissolved oxygen concentrations. Because of the relative lack of organic carbon in the basaltic aquifer system, sorption will occur mainly to mineral surfaces in clay-rich zones and within the…

▼ Rhododendron or great laurel is a common evergreen
shrub found throughout eastern North America. Although native,
rhododendron has been increasing in the Southern Appalachian
Mountains landscape due to fire suppression, logging, and loss of
the American chestnut. It now has the potential to affect a larger
variety of ecosystems and species that it did historically.
Salamanders of the family Plethodontidae are highly diverse in the
Southern Appalachian Mountains. They are known to be sensitive to
their environment and are often considered to be potential
indicators of ecosystem changes. Rhododendron has known effects on
plants, soil nutrients, and leaf litter macroinvertebrates. The
expansion of rhododendron may play an important role in determining
terrestrial and aquatic salamander community structure and
population dynamics. This study aimed to see how rhododendron
affects salamander communities in sites in the Nantahala Mountains
of
western North Carolina. Initially, four sites were chosen in the
upper Nantahala River watershed to conduct a mark-recapture study.
Sites were divided into two plots; one within a rhododendron
thicket and one in the larger forest matrix, both alongside small
streams. After collecting data in 2009, concerns from highly
variable population estimates and differences in detection between
rhododendron and non-rhododendron plots with the mark-recapture
study led to methods being changed in 2010 to removal sampling to
ameliorate these concerns. Population estimates from removal
sampling varied greatly amongst sites and were not significantly
different between rhododendron and non-rhododendron plots. Overall,
red-legged and ocoee salamanders were the most abundant species
across all sites. Rhododendron does not appear to have a net effect
on salamander population sizes. Rhododendron does appear to reduce
people’s ability to find salamanders and may have negative
influences in studies that do not account for differences in
detection between plots in and outside of rhododendron thickets.;

▼ The thesis focuses on the WTO anti-dumping practice analyses, particularly the cases happening in the United States. By identifying the normative differences, the study intends to arrange and summarize the critical issues of historical cases and so firms can more easily and correctly prepare data to deal with the anti-dumping challenges.
The research data were collected from the 2014-2016
US anti-dumping cases. These cases were summarized to identify the critical issues and then compared with the DOCâs AD manual and WTO AD for making in-depth analyses and practical recommendations.
The anti-dumping measures are the main solution for USA to retaliate against China economic issue by President Trump. Therefore, this study has important implications, in particular under the increasingly rigorous censorship standards of the
US Department of Commerce. Specifically, the study finds that the contentious contention lies not only in the authenticity and completeness of the questionnaire, but also in the day-to-day management. The cost accounting, finances, sales and corporate situation are all closely related. Company personnel also needs to work together to cope with the vigorous review and identify the source and solution of conflicting issues. In so doing, the findings should help firms understand how to fight for the lowest AD rate and maintain their competitiveness in the export markets.

▼ After four and a half years evaluating the viability of the establishment of the Browse LNG Precinct onshore at James Price Point in the Kimberley, Woodside and its Joint Venture Partners decided to abandon the project in April 2013. How Indigenous people in the Kimberley made their voices manifest in resource development discussions through their own internal governance system and through their interactions with the institutions of Government and transnational companies is the
subject of my thesis. The Browse LNG Precinct proposal was contentious and caused deep divisions within family members, friends and employers in Broome. It became the site of a struggle for recognition of the many voices representing the competing interests of economic development, Aboriginal cultural heritage protection, and environmental conservation. My particular focus is the notion of development by Indigenous people and by the
Western Australian government particularly when Traditional Law intersects with Australian mainstream law over land held in common. I examine how notions of development and related values were manifested in practice at mining sites that overlapped with Indigenous sacred sites at Noonkanbah, Argyle and James Price Point. I have found that essentially, the Indigenous people’s voices are represented through the recognition space of state institutional apparatus. The design and operation of legislative acts enabled a system of control over how Aboriginal interests are to be governed within the framework of Australia’s governance of mineral and natural resources. Co-existence between Aboriginal and
Western cosmology constitutes dynamic processes and the interplay for mutual recognition. In practice, the dominant system of control filters the Indigenous voice by its translation within the institutional practices of the Australian state and legal system.

First Evidence for Ultrahigh Pressure Metamorphism on Gossa, Western Gneiss Region, Norway.

▼ Ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphism takes place in rock at depths within the coesite stability field. In the
Western Gneiss
Region (WGR) in Norway, three domains are present where UHP metamorphic rocks occur. In the northern UHP domain, evidence for UHP is concentrated in three distinct areas. In between these areas lies the island of Gossa. This island is often included in the northern UHP domain, but this is based on extrapolation of lithologies around Gossa and no direct evidence exists that these rocks have experienced UHP metamorphic conditions. Some authors dispute the existence of one UHP domain, and explain the UHP outcrops as small UHP thrust nappes within a single larger lower pressure domain. The aim of this research is to constrain the peak metamorphic conditions of the rocks on Gossa, which places this part of the WGR either within or outside the northern UHP domain.
Fieldwork was carried out on Gossa during the summer of 2008. One of the lithologies that are found here is orthopyroxene (opx) bearing eclogite, enclosed as lenses within basement gneisses. This lithology is sampled for determination of peak metamorphic conditions by evaluating the Al2O3 content of opx in contact with garnet. Granulites and basement gneisses have been sampled to constrain the retrograde pressure and temperature (PT) path. All samples are analysed by optical microscopy for determination of their metamorphic facies based on their mineral content. Pressure and temperature are calculated for eclogites and granulites by various geothermobarometric methods, using major element mineral chemistry obtained by analysis of the samples by Electron Microprobe.
Al2O3 contents in opx of 0.26 and 0.30 wt% are measured in eclogites from two different outcrops. These very low Al2O3 contents indicate UHP conditions, probably within the diamond stability field, with pressures of >37kbar and temperatures of 780-1000ºC. The PT path, based on optical microscopy as well as geothermobarometry, shows isothermal decompression after the peak metamorphic stage until 8-10 kbar. This is followed by cooling without significant change in pressure until ±500ºC. This PT path shows a good correlation with published PT paths of the surrounding area. These results indicate that the northern UHP domain forms one coherent body instead of small scale thrust nappes, and Gossa can be included in this domain.

▼ The tectonometamorphic histories of allochthonous
nappe units that were deeply buried and subsequently exhumed during
the Scandian orogeny in the
Western Gneiss
Region (WGR) of Norway
are poorly constrained and understood. One such unit is the Blåhø
Nappe which underlies northern Harøya and Finnøya, two islands in
the Nordøyane ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic domain. The
Blåhø Nappe contains a lower unit of garnet amphibolite gneiss with
interlayered garnet-bearing quartzofeldspathic gneiss and marble,
and an upper unit of migmatitic aluminous gneiss. Southern Harøya
comprises orthogneisses attributed to the Baltican continental
crust, and is separated from the Blåhø Nappe by the Finnøya
migmatitic shear zone (FMSZ). Field and petrographic observations
from these islands suggest that the Blåhø Nappe experienced peak
metamorphism at high pressure amphibolite to granulite facies
conditions before being overprinted by relatively lower pressure
amphibolite facies conditions. In contrast, the adjacent Baltican
basement gneiss contains coesite-eclogite pods, which attests to
UHP conditions. However, the basement rocks are also overprinted by
an amphibolite facies assemblage. To understand the implications of
these observations, the metamorphic history of the Blåhø Nappe was
investigated, and compared to that of the basement. This thesis
presents thermobarometric and geochronologic analyses used to
define a metamorphic pressure-temperature-time (PTt) path for the
Blåhø Nappe on Harøya and Finnøya. The results suggest prograde
metamorphism between ca. 440 Ma and 415 Ma, peak temperature
metamorphism at 860?C and 15 kbar at around 410 Ma, equilibration
at amphibolite-facies conditions of 680?C and 9 kbar by 395 Ma, and
cooling below Ar-closure T in muscovite by ca. 360 Ma. The PTt data
from the Blåhø Nappe demonstrate that these rocks did not share the
UHP history of the adjacent basement rocks, but that both
experienced similar amphibolite facies metamorphism and
deformation. These units were likely juxtaposed along the FMSZ
during isothermal decompression from their respective maximum
burial depths to ~30 km depth.

▼ The main objective of this study was to analyze the effects of climate change and variability on cocoa output. The multistage sampling techniques were used to select the respondents (cocoa farmers). The first and second objectives of the study described smallholder farmers’ perception on climate change and variability and examined any empirical evidence of climate change and variability in the study area respectively. The third objective primarily analyzed the effect of these climatic variables (rainfall, temperature, bright sunshine duration and relative humidity) on cocoa output. The study also described the adaptation strategies employed by the small scale cocoa farmers in mitigating the effects of climate change and variability within the study area in the fourth objective. The final objective addressed the determinants of choice of an adaptation strategy. Most farmers (77.1%) were aware of climate change and variability however, more men (65%) observed changes and variation in temperature and rainfall than women (35%). Climate has changed with varying levels of variation over the past 40 years in the Western Region. However, most of the climatic variables were not statistically significant. Bright Sunshine Duration was found to be statistically significant at 5% with P-values of 0.0369 and 0.0274 for the mean decades 1975-1985 and 1985-1994 and 1985-1994. There were greater than average rainfall, but no significant difference among the decades. Temperature, rainfall, and extreme temperature had no significant effect on cocoa output but previous year’s output and extreme rainfall had significant effect on the output of the small-scale cocoa farmers. A 1 mm increase in extreme rainfall amount resulted in a 0.24 MT/ha decrease in cocoa output whilst a unit change in technology resulted in a 0.86 MT/ha increase in cocoa output from the regression results. Almost 50.2% of the farmers adopted on-farm adaptation strategy while 32.9% adopted non-farm adaptation strategy and the remaining 16.9% did not adopt any strategy beside cocoa farming. In all, age, gender, education and membership of FBOs were statistically significant determinants of choice of adaptation strategies to climate change and variability. Membership of FBO makes a farmer 29.82 percent more likely to adopt On-farm adaption strategies. Men were 23.16% more likely to choose non-farm adaptation strategies than their female counterparts while females were 13.24% more likely to choose on-farm strategies. In conclusion, Bright Sunshine duration and extreme rainfall, had significant effect on cocoa production. It is recommended that COCOBOD, MoFA and NGOs should design improved technology such as cocoa seeds/seedlings that can withstand extreme climatic events as well as boost yields.

▼ The
Western Gneiss
Region (WGR) in SW Norway which is part of the Scandinavian Caledonides, is a tectonic window exposing the lowest tectonic unit which is mainly composed of Proterozoic basement rocks of the Baltic shield (Brueckner and van Roermund, 2004). The peridotite bodies found in the WGR are considered as one of the few potentials for the study of mantle processes (Spengler, 2006). Samples of garnet peridotites found at Gurskebotn in the
Western Gneiss
Region were provided in order to study. Based on mineral composition data gathered with the use of optical- and electron microscopy combined with bulk rock composition obtained with XRF whole rock analyses, pressure- and temperature conditions of the M1- and M2 assemblages found in these garnet peridotites were determined with both the use of the thermodynamic software Perple_X of Connolly (2009) and geothermobarometry. Perple_X estimates higher temperatures (±100 °C), and higher pressures (±1 GPa) than obtained by geothermobarometry for the M1-assemblages, whereas it estimated lower temperatures (±100 °C) and higher pressures (±2 GPa) for the M2-assemblages compared with geothermobarometry. The formation of the M1-assemblage is associated with the pre-Caledonian residence in the subcontinental mantle (Lapen, 2009) at 925 – 1025 °C and 3.3 – 3.8 GPa. This was followed by exhumation of the garnet peridotite bodies due to the opening of the Iapetus Ocean between 1.15 Ga and 450 Ma and resulted in the formation of symplectite rims around the porphyroclastic M1-garnets. The subsequent continent collision of Laurentia and Baltica, resulting in the subduction of Baltica, are associated with the formation of the M2-assemblage at 550 – 625 °C and 5.5 – 6.5 GPa.

▼ Retrenchment of employees is a process undertaken by an organization to reduce the workforce of an organization to improve the operational efficiency. It is usually designed to improve efficiency productivity and/or competitiveness. Retrenchment represents a strategy implemented by managers that affects the size of the firm’s workforce and its processes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the process of implementation of staff retrenchment program in Rift Valley Railways Western region, Kisumu. The researcher used a content analysis to analyze the views of the respondent by extracting the themes and subthemes from the response. In carrying out the retrenchment, the organization set up a retrenchment committee to undertake the retrenchment process. The retrenchment committee had a representative from all the departments in the organization, the management of the organization and a representative from the trade union. The task of the committee was to establish the severance fee for the retrenched workers, the communication protocol of the retrenchment process, the selection of the employees to be retrenched and the procedures for selecting the employees. The criterion that was used to select the employees for retrenchment was age, experience, discipline of the employees, experience and the excess employees in the departments. Voluntary retirement was also sought to get employees for retrenchment. The retrenched employees were paid a one month salary for every year worked, ten thousand shillings for transport of belongings, a golden handshake of 120,000 shillings. The retrenchment process led to loss of staff. Retrenchment of old employees also led to a work force of young and inexperienced employees. In the case of the dissatisfied employees, the employees were given a chance to report their displeasure in a Complaints Committee. The appeal goes through the complaints department through the legal advisor and then to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for deliberation. Once the CEO has studied the complaint it is passed to the Appeals Committee which comprises of the CEO, the department head and the legal advisor.
The Appeal Committee investigates the complaints of the complainant. If an appeal is effective the right decision is followed considering the rights of the employee. The study recommends that future researcher should include the views of victims of retrenchment, members of trade union and the surviving employees as well as the human resource department. The study also recommends that future researchers should investigate the contribution of the retrenchment on the performance of the organizations.
