Subjects: Environmental Economics and Policy

description: Solar-Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS) are an important component of India’s effort towards sustainable energy transition and are promoted with financial support under the PM-KUSUM program. In spite of the promise and the policy push, the adoption of SPIS is low. In this paper, we use the Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) for evaluating the policy attributes in the promotion of SPIS. We selected five attributes of SPIS with different levels for the choice experiment, and a ‘D-efficient’ non-zero prior choice experimental design was used. The data was collected from 500 farmers randomly chosen from 31 villages across Mysore district, Karnataka, India, and analyzed using the random parameter logit model. For a nuanced interpretation and contextualization of the results, follow-up qualitative interviews were conducted. The results highlight that farmers preference, as indicated by the highest part worth, is for a loan with a repayment holiday of three years, followed by guaranteed service provision for 10 years. Given that SPIS is a new technology with a high initial investment, easing liquidity constraints and assuring farmers with guaranteed repair services act as strong incentives to adopt it. These findings can be incorporated into the existing policies so that they align well with farmers' preferences.

description: Enrollment in federal and state government programs is substantially lower for some eligible demographic subpopulations, particularly persons living in rural areas. Barriers faced when seeking program benefits may, in part, explain such differences in enrollment. The purpose of this paper is to identify barriers faced by prospective rural beneficiaries and how they prefer to communicate with government agencies and, in doing so, inform Social Security Administration (SSA) disability programs processes and communication strategies. This paper reports the results of a scoping literature review of government program communication strategies and how knowledge of SSA and other government programs varies by sociodemographic groups and what this says about barriers facing those in rural communities. Following a robust scoping review process — the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR), we identified articles that mentioned key phrases related to federal programs, communication, and rurality across four databases. English-language articles were included if published on topics related to our research questions between 2012 and 2022, reported on data collected in 2010 or later, and were about U.S. programs. Two of the authors each screened and reached consensus on 278 abstracts/titles and then 72 full texts to identify those that were in scope. As a result, we identified 16 articles for inclusion in this review. Three primary themes emerged: the knowledge and enrollment impact of changes to communication approaches; the importance of community-specific context; and barriers specific to communicating with rural residents and other underserved communities.

Drug Trafficking at Sea: A Practice- Based Analysis of International Law and the US Approach to High Seas Interdictions
Creators: name: Louis, Nicholas
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2022

description: The thesis investigates international law and jurisdiction over illegal drug trafficking vessels on the high seas. Illegal drug trafficking is prevalent, with, for example, States reporting record drug seizures from Drug Trafficking Vessels [DTVs] when they are interdicted on the high seas. Transnational organized crime groups also adopt new and more sophisticated methods for drug smuggling, such as the use of self-propelled semisubmersible craft [‘narco-submarines’], intentionally flagging vessels to State’s with open registers, or not flagging vessels at all, leaving them stateless. Therefore, in consideration of all these factors, a fundamental research question emerges concerning DTV interdictions on the high seas, namely: whether and, if so, the extent to which, the international law of the sea, as set out in the 1982 U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea [LOSC] and relevant customary international law, provide an adequate legal framework for the interdiction of DTVs on the high seas. That said, the law of the sea is not the only body of law addressing drug trafficking at sea. The 1988 Vienna Convention is a significant transnational crime convention that considers this recurrent problem, which has given rise to additional agreements at the regional and bilateral levels. As such, the thesis considers the adequacy of this web of agreements for states seeking to exercise criminal jurisdiction over DTVs on the high seas. Through a doctrinal analysis of these agreements, the research identifies gaps in the law; for example: both the 1988 Vienna Convention and the LOSC are silent on the question of the exercise of criminal jurisdiction over vessels on the high seas. Similarly, the use of vessels without nationality in drug trafficking exposes further gaps in the applicable law. This underscores the practical implications of these doctrinal lacunae; indeed, they manifest every day when States are conducting high seas interdictions. Therefore, the thesis moves beyond a strict doctrinal analysis to incorporate empirical data gathered from practitioners in the field. The empirical data furthers the doctrinal research by identifying how some States overcome the lacunae in the relevant law. Of note here is the contemporary approach of the U.S. to high seas interdictions, in part as the accepted global leader in DTV interdictions. As such, the thesis reviews this approach, relative to the relevant international law, which also captures an assessment of bilateral drug interdiction agreements, domestic statutes, and associated case law. The objective of this analysis, as supplemented by the empirical data, is to demonstrate how through domestic statutes and other rules of international law, such as the principles of jurisdiction, States may address the gaps in the treaty framework and exercise their criminal or enforcement jurisdiction over DTVs on the high seas.

Rural Electrification and the changing energy irrigation nexus in Bihar

description: Over the past few decades Agricultural irrigation in South Asia has emerged to be dominantly groundwater sourced. The size and structure of a region’s groundwater economy is closely intertwined with its energy economy. Until only a few years ago, diesel was the main source of energy for groundwater irrigation in the region while farmers in the rest of South Asia had access to subsidized or free electricity to operate their pumps. With rapid improvements in rural energy supply, this energy-divide is now disappearing. This has potential to change the area’s groundwater energy nexus. Farmers in Bihar, a populous state of India, have installed more than 200 thousand electric pumps for irrigation since 2015. We use data from a representative sample of 1440 farmers from the state to assess the pattern of electrification of groundwater irrigation and its impact on pump ownership, water markets, and water use in agriculture. Electrification of irrigation is skewed towards west and south Bihar. On average, electric pump owners have smaller landholdings than diesel pump owners and they charge significantly lower irrigation fees from water buyers. However, three out of four pump owners report not selling water from their pumps. Farmers using electric pumps—owned or rented—irrigate their crops more intensively and have higher cropping intensity. Near free electricity for irrigation may undermine the fiscal and environmental sustainability of the irrigation led agricultural growth in Bihar.

Subjects: confine; trincea; Altro; Ungaretti; Stuparich; Gadda

description: As far as I can see, there is a real place that actualise, better than any other one, the double nature meant by the term 'border' - a sort of oxymoron, in terms of etymology: the trench.
Similarly, it does exist an author who experienced, comprehended and cried that duplicity out: Giuseppe Ungaretti. Forced to live a dramatic experience within the boundary line, he succeeded in crossing the historical, political, ideological and existential boundary between himself and 'the other'. Furthermore, he did it without any constriction, as it was a 'natural' and unavoidable 'step', as a result of his human nature. Crossing the boundary inevitably meant the reformulation of the relationship with 'the other', where 'the other' means person, landscape and 'absolute'; likewise, this led the author to a deep reconsideration of the current linguistic and literary conventions. The traditional poetical language had proved to be completely inadequate in front of the dramatic condition of the modern man.
In order to demonstrate the relevant role of the border in this evolution, it will be made a comparison between Ungaretti's experience and the one of other two Italian intellectuals. Those, despite of living similar – even though not identical – war experiences, didn't come to the same conclusion as our poet, neither ideological nor literary.
Beyond the natural differences in their personality and artistic sensitivity, as far as Giani Stuparich is concerned, it is another real border to make the difference: the boundary line between Italy and Austro-Hungarian Empire. Despite belonging to 'there', he felt himself 'here'. On the contrary, talking about Carlo Emilio Gadda, what appears relevant is the role he played in the Army during the war: he was an officer and he didn't live in the trenches. That seems to have influenced his conception of the war and to have prevented him from 'crossing the boundary'.

Incontro e scontro di culture: i confinati antifascisti a Eboli e ad Aliano

Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2018
Subjects: confino, antifascismo, Eboli, Aliano, Mezzogiorno

description: The political confinement was one of the instrument of persecution of the Fascist regime. This paper aims to analyze how this form of limitation of freedom, based on expulsion and isolation, political but also cultural, economic and social, has helped to overcome the concept of border. The political confinement made new relationships between the Antifascists deported and the local population. The famous novel by Carlo Levi "Christ Stopped at Eboli" describes how the men and women sent to Aliano, the town where Carlo Levi was actually imprisoned, transformed punitive experience in an encounter between different cultures, thanks to the contact with the South of Italy. What happened to Eboli, the country of Salerno mentioned in the title? Are there differences between the case of Eboli, Aliano and the South of Italy?
Through the analysis of the 250 letters sent by seventy Antifascist confinemented to Eboli and Aliano, we can identify some of the main policy results, economic, cultural and social produced by Fascist political confinement in Eboli and Aliano. The historical record, made by seventy political deported, helped the renewed Italian political class to face a problem known as the "Southern question".

Le figlie dell’immigrazione: soggettività di confine nella contemporaneità

description: The growth of global migration flows does not only reshape territories towards superdiversity and transnationalism (Crul et al 2012) ; it also influences peopleʼs everyday life in an educational way (Tramma 2015). The merging of different cultural systems, together with the multiplication of opportunities for women and the increasing insecurity of the life course, challenges the traditional dichotomies – native/foreigner, man/woman, adulthood/youth – and requires from everyone the capability of building a self-made biography (Beck 1998) in a system of multiple belongings.
The biographies of young women with a migrant background seem to be an important object of attention: these stories are an example of the intersectionality of gender-based, generational and intercultural dynamics. Furthermore, these youngsters are involved in a permanent renegotiation of meanings and in the daily crossing of real and symbolic borders: they grew up juggling different cultural expectation and racialized gender norms (Pyke, Johson 2003).
The domain of educational sciences is challenged by this population: because the girls need to develop some specific skills – of syntheses, creativity and negotiation – in order to actively participate within their social context; and because institutions providing formal education, such as schools and social care services, need to re-discuss their traditional models and praxis, in order to recognise and promote the value of these mixed biographies.

Una ridiscussione dei concetti di home e identity nell’Asia globalizzata: il caso di These Foolish Things (2004) e How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia (2013)

Subjects: Asia; confini; globalizzazione; home; identity; letteratura

description: The evolution of postcolonial studies in the last thirty years and the development of a transnational approach in literary studies (Jay 2010) have led to a renewed interest towards the subaltern voices, especially in relation to the phenomena of migration and diaspora and their global effects. In this light, the idea of 'home' is characterized by a sort of porosity and by a new geographical and emotional conceptualization which inevitably influences the personal and collective identities of migrant communities.
The aim of the paper is to analyze these topics from a cultural and literary standpoint through the examination of the two different kinds of migrant flows and postcolonial scenarios depicted in These Foolish Things (2004) by the English author Deborah Moggach, and How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia (2013) by the Pakistan novelist Mohsin Hamid. In these novels, the chaotic Indian framework – the former margin of the British empire – is torn between its colonial past and the current effects of the permeability of its borders. It is, therefore, a perfect global context, wherein the experiences and the feelings of the modern Indian identities are reinterpreted by the two authors.

Borders and silence as forms of knowledge in Amitav Ghosh’s The Calcutta Chromosome

Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2018
Subjects: Amitav Ghosh, epistemology, geography, Calcutta, encyclopedia

description: Forms of knowledge and our understanding of the world are central concerns in Amitav Ghosh's fiction. His novels often deconstruct epistemology derived from the Western philosophical tradition, with the aim of pointing at its relativity in spite of its claim to universality. This essay wants to demonstrate how The Calcutta Chromosome (1996) closely connects the production of an alternative form of knowledge (the counter-science) with a different way of perceiving and conceiving space. Focusing specifically on Calcutta's urban space, it will examine the correlation between space and epistemology in the novel through three spatial and gnoseological categories: borders, the labyrinth, and, finally, networks.

Year: 2018
Subjects: Anzaldœa; Foucault; Borderlands; Eterotopia

description: With Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987), Gloria Anzaldúa offers a dramatic and revolutionary view on the life in the borderlands. Her ideas are still able to question the strictness of some cultural and political identities and the way they are used to reject diversity in the U.S.. And she does that by proving how diversity and complexity already characterize each and every identity in itself. Our aim was to re-read Anzaldúa in the light of what Michel Foucault proposed in Les Mots et Les Choses (1966) and in Des Espaces Autres (1967). We tried to interrogate Anzaldúa’s work starting from the principes chosen by the Foucault to identify hétérotopies. According to Foucault in fact, “the site is defined by relations of proximity between points or elements”. Then, how is identity built out of spatial relations? We applied Foucault’s principles to Anzaldúa’s work and to the American borderlands as a heterotopia within a heterotopia. We chose to consider both the border reality she denounces and the borderland conception she proposes.

Chinese Modern Cartoon. A transcultural approach to Modern Sketch
Creators: name: Caschera, Martina
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2018
Subjects: Transcultural Studies; Chinese Studies; Chinese Visual Culture; Chinese Literature; Chinese Cartoon

description: Since the second half of the XIX century, Chinese print media have been involved in intercultural exchanges that permanently modified the editorial production in Shanghai, the Chinese capital of modern press. The evolution of the visual language of cartoon (single-panelled, mainly satirical vignette) has to be located in this context, i.e. in a liminal space characterized by the contact and the intermingling of semiotic systems as well as genres and interests.
On one hand, the cartoon format is by itself a hybrid genre, born as a complex iconic-verbal construction. On the other hand, Chinese modern cartoon, which emerged and developed at the turn of the XX century along with the evolution of journalism and entertainment in semi-colonial Treaty Ports, reflects and participates into the process of bridging cultural boundaries through adaptive and integrative communication strategies (métissage).
The present essay will firstly examine the asymmetrical cultural exchanges between European-American (Punch-and-Puck format) and Chinese culture, and inside the Sino-Japanese 'interliterary community' of the late XIX century. Besides synthetizing the state of the art, the paper will also elaborate on the possibility of a Punch/Puck legacy in 1920s-1930s China. Secondly, through the analysis of selected exempla from the cartoon magazine Modern Sketch (Shidai Manhua, 1934-1937), I will present significant aspects of the transcultural processes occurred in China during the golden years of cartooning.

“This is a public service announcement... with guitar!” Le frontiere dell'impolitico e la musica nella letteratura contemporanea
Creators: name: Franchi, Luigi
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2018
Subjects: Sottoculture - Rave - Skinhead - Conflitto sociale

description: Although the characters of Izzo’s Total Khéops do not belong to any political organisation, their gestures, even if in a peculiar way, may be referred to as political. Similarly, the subcultural groups depicted in King’s Skinheads and Santoni’s Muro di casse deploy a series of everyday practices, political as well, which are completely different from the ones expressed by the ballots. Analysing the strategies of focalization used within these novels, this essay aims at describing how the personal involvement into subcultures represents a form of resistance against the discipline imposed to the bodies by the capitalist system of production and how it also provides alternative ways of socialization, which allow members of subcultures to question at its core the frontiers of what can or cannot be considered a political act.

Sinfonia e confessione. Forme letterarie e pitagorismo in José Vasconcelos e María Zambrano
Creators: name: Grigoletto, Lorena
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2018
Subjects: Sinfonia, confessione, pitagorismo, filosofia, generi

description: The Vasconcelos and Zambrano attempt to reconcile life and reason, Wisdom and Philosophy, is particularly affected by the influence of the aesthetic and ‘musical’ component of Pythagoreanism. This, that would cross the history of philosophy as an heterodox current, intends to reassert itself, as much in Vasconcelos aesthetic thought as in Zambrano’s Poetic Reason, against the constraints of rationalism, its formal rigidity and its dogmatism.
With this objective, their reflection about the complex articulation and declination of the history of philosophy in literary genres, as places of its intimate drama, flows in the analysis of two specific and, in some respects, similar forms of literature: the symphony (Vasconcelos) and the confession (Zambrano). The latter is nothing new in the literary scene but, recognized as true of Western thinking method, is proposed as a conditio sine qua non of its authentic rebirth. Symphony and confession, which in their analogical and musical process would realize the ancient Pythagorean inspiration, insist on the need to invalidate that world devoid of subject, to reveal the immobilism and the absolutism of the concept and to rethink the tragedy, as a genre and in its historical manifestations, to forestall its ending. They share, therefore, the same purpose: the fulfillment of an ‘ethical Hystory’.

An evaluation of an integrated health management program for workers in hospital setting
Creators: name: Ryan, Toni
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2014

description: The aims of this study were to evaluate the 1) processes and 2) outcomes of a workplace health management program that attempted to integrate best practice principles of both workplace health promotion and injury management into the existing health management infrastructure of a major metropolitan hospital to improve the health management practices of hospital workers. An escalation in workplace injuries and a surfeit of injured workers who lacked the functional capacity to return to work had resulted in a shortage of skilled workers in this acute surgical hospital. This provided the impetus for the organisation to review its approach to injury management. A research grant from the state’s workers compensation insurance authority facilitated a team of exercise physiologists to work with the hospital executive to develop workplace based strategies to reduce the incidence and impact of workplace injuries.

description: The study illustrates using the Combined IAD-SES (CIS) framework in the context of artisanal fisheries in Chilika Lagoon of Odisha, India. Major breakpoints that changed the Lagoon system's overall setting are the introduction of shrimp culture in the 1990s, the opening of a new artificial mouth on 23rd September 2000, and the Post-Fani period (2019- onwards). The CIS Framework encapsulates the area's major ecological, social, economic, and biological dynamics effectively, providing a blueprint for future interdisciplinary research. Further, it can serve as a tool for policymakers to integrate fish and food resources in an agri-food system that can make it more inclusive and robust.
Adverse events following intensive care discharge: The contribution of system, clinician and patient factors
Creators: name: Elliott, Malcolm
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2014

description: An adverse medical event is any unintended injury or complication that arises from health care management rather than the patient’s underlying disease, and results in disability, death or a prolonged hospital stay. Unfortunately, these events occur frequently across the care continuum including in patients recently discharged from Intensive Care Units (ICU). Currently there is limited understanding of adverse events in hospitalised post-ICU patients. Given the significant costs, consequences and preventability of these events, greater understanding of post-ICU adverse events is needed.

Distinct Ocean Responses to Greenland's Liquid Runoff and Iceberg Melt

While Greenland discharge has been increasing in the last decades, its impact on the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) is not clearly established. Because of that, the accuracy of this discharge representation in ocean models has not been a priority in large-scale circulation studies. Many models prescribe Greenland discharge solely as liquid runoff from the coast-even though around half of this mass loss is attributed to solid discharge. In this study, we use sensitivity experiments carried out with the Nucleus for European Modeling of the Ocean general circulation model to show the most relevant impacts that different Greenland solid discharge parameterizations (transforming it to liquid runoff or explicitly representing it through an iceberg model) have on the western subpolar Atlantic. We find that icebergs act as freshwater reservoirs that affect how much, when, and where freshwater is delivered to the ocean. They carry large amounts of freshwater away from boundary currents, releasing it in the interior of the subpolar gyre. Moreover, the amount and variability of freshwater delivered to the ocean depend not only on the characteristics of Greenland discharge itself but also on the environmental conditions icebergs are subjected to. We also find a large difference in subsurface temperatures in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, which suggests that different Greenland discharge parameterizations might have far reaching implications beyond the MOC. Although differences in ocean fields between the simulations are usually small and within their interannual variability, they might be relevant as Greenland calving rates increase with global warming.
A retrospective, cross-sectional study of an in-home breastfeeding programme

description: "Background: Breastfeeding complications impact on the woman’s ability to initiate and sustain breastfeeding. A local government in-home breastfeeding programme was established to provide support for breastfeeding women after hospital discharge. A purpose built database to record maternal-infant data was piloted during 2001-2003 and data continued to be collected until 2007. This thesis reports on the analysis of the data collection 2003-2007, including demographic information, presenting complications, observational, diagnostic and photographic data. Research Questions: What were the main characteristics and experiences of the women with breastfeeding complications who presented for professional assistance through the Darebin In-Home Breastfeeding programme? What are the implications for breastfeeding women and midwifery practice, from the analysis and findings of this data? ..."
Evaluation of a behaviour change intervention targeting evidence-based management of fever, hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction following acute stroke
Creators: name: Drury, Peta
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2014

description: Stroke is Australia’s second highest cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability (1- 3). Several factors influence morbidity and mortality after ischaemic stroke, including fever, hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction (4-8). Early detection and treatment of these three physiological variables should be a priority (4-8). National and international guidelines (9-13) provide recommendations for the management of fever, hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction following acute stroke; however, only a small proportion of Australians receive evidence-based care (14-18). Prior studies have identified that the distribution alone of guidelines will not change clinician behaviour (19); thus, further research is required to identify effective behaviour change interventions to promote the uptake of guideline recommendations and evidence-based practice. This thesis presents three studies conducted by the candidate as part of the Quality in Acute Stroke Care (QASC) cluster randomised controlled trial (CRCT) conducted from July 2005 to October 2010 in 19 stroke units located in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The aim of the QASC trial was to develop, implement and evaluate a multifaceted behaviour change intervention to promote stroke guideline recommendations and evidence-based management for fever, hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction within the first three days following hospital admission for acute stroke. The QASC multifaceted behaviour change intervention comprised evidence-based clinical treatment protocols (referred to as the fever (Fe), sugar (S) and swallow (S) [FeSS] protocols), supported by team-building workshops (to identify local barriers to change) and site-based education and support. The QASC trial resulted in significantly improved patient outcomes in intervention stroke units, explained in full later in this thesis (1). As part of the QASC trial, the candidate conducted three studies. Specifically, the aim was to (i) establish monitoring and treatment practices within NSW stroke units for fever hyperglycaemia and swallowing dysfunction prior to the implementation of the QASC intervention; (ii) investigate NSW stroke unit nurse unit managers’ (NUMs) perceptions of self-leadership ability, organisational learning, attitudes and beliefs towards evidence-based practice (EBP), and organisational readiness for change also prior to the implementation of the QASC intervention; and (iii) conduct a process evaluation parallel to the QASC trial to assist in the interpretation of the QASC patient outcome results at the conclusion of the trial.

Riflessioni comparative: la Sibilla come frontiera letteraria dell’identità dei popoli
Creators: name: Santilli, Elena
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2018
Subjects: Sibilla, profezia, comparativismo

description: Sibyl is a mythological figure that provides an opportunity to reflect on the conscious comparativism in the past.
Through the ananlysis of four texts (Paus., Per., I, 2,2; Or. Sib., III, vv. 813-823; Erma, Vis., I e II; Mundus Origo, vv. 1-6), in which the Sibyl is described as a prototype of the classical, jewish and christian prophetic imaginary, we discuss among the possibility of a comparative attitude of authors from the Classical Age to the Late Antiquity.
The tipology of Sibyl's descriptions can explain the role of this seer in order to define an . This approach demonstrates how different and distant populations elaborated a mythological boundary, a frontier where an evolutive, historical and genetic contact was possible, according to the method founded by A. Gnisci and M. Detienne, in collaboration with the psycological-mythological parameter.
As a metamorphic clone, the Sibyl provides a consideration on the usefulness of contents offered by a silent comparativism of the past. It gives a new perspective to the modern-contemporaneus comparativism, evaluating the necessity of a dialogue between literatures and cultures in a synchronic and diachronic sense.
