Community Participation and Collaboration in Catchment Management: A multi-disciplinary Approach to Citizen Involvement in Decision-making Processes
Creators: name: Nash, Richard D
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2005
Subjects: community participation
catchment management
collaborative politics
participative democracy

description: This thesis explores community participation in natural resource management. It is based on a study of 'social harmony' in catchment strategy development in South East Queensland, Australia. Currently, management strategies are linked to Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) principles, involving collaboration between government, industry and community sectors. The proposed benefits of collaborative politics are improved opportunities for community participation, and ownership in the decision-making processes. Collaborative processes purportedly allow strategists to integrate the knowledge, values and practices of the wider population into the planning processes. However, this thesis questions the effectiveness of collaborative politics on two premises. Firstly, strategists present collaborative politics as an achievable and practical avenue for managing natural resources without necessarily considering the complexities and inconsistencies of human behaviour. Secondly, strategy development is carried out predominantly as a structured technical process that under-estimates the multiplicity of knowledge, rationalities, discourses and realities that influence individual action. Consequently, this thesis argues that the assumptions upon which strategic objectives are based, contradict the needs and concerns that underpin the motives and practices of the grass roots, and undermine the aims of collaborative politics. By exploring personal needs, values, beliefs and knowledge of individual and group participants, this thesis demonstrates that individual participation and commitment to environmental quality issues are determined through rational choice that involves complex reflexive processes. This approach is useful for explaining why attempts to create a collaborative environment are impeded. Members of the wider community generally choose to avoid or minimise engagement with formal strategic processes. Consequently, strategic management is primarily the domain of a small group of actors who possess superior knowledge of relevant issues rather an inclusive, collaborative or participative process. Ironically, this core group inadvertently creates an elitist approach to management. These core participants reinforce the instrumental rationality of a technocratic system while filtering out the non-material values that drive the grass roots. In the final analysis, collaboration is constrained by actors who are the most ardent supporters of the idea of a collaborative community.

Corporate Governance and Earnings Management: Some Evidence from Hong Kong Listed Companies
Creators: name: Kam, Pok Man

Subjects: audit committees
CEO duality

description: This study examines the role of various corporate governance variables in earnings management in Hong Kong during the period 2000 to 2002. The corporate governance variables examined are CEO duality (when the chairman and the CEO is the same person), the proportion of independent non-executive directors and audit committees. It also examines whether the proportion of independent non-executive directors moderates the association between CEO duality and earnings management. The findings indicate that there is a strong positive association between CEO duality and earnings management. The results suggest that there is no significant association between the proportion of independent non-executive directors on the board and earnings management. However, earnings management is significantly negatively associated with the interaction of CEO duality and the proportion of independent non-executive directors on the board, suggesting that independent non-executive directors' effectiveness in monitoring weakened the managerial behavior of earnings management in CEO duality firms. This is particularly the case in high-growth firms. The results do not show a significant association between earnings management and the existence of audit committees.
Postural Movement – Quantifying Timing of Joint and Segment Coordination, Structural Muscle Balance, and Joint Range of Motion

description: To ensure an exercise is safe and effective requires an integrated relationship between posture and joint coordination. A change in postural alignment can naturally result in a change in the motor pattern for both simple and athletic tasks, and in some cases in the performance of the skill. There is limited scientific knowledge that objectively quantifies the structural balance between the muscles that create movement and those that stabilise, the possible range of movements, and the timing of these movements. To address this limitation the research followed two themes. Firstly to investigate the timing and movement aspect, the lower limb dominant activity of squatting was chosen as this activity included movements of the lumbar, sacrum, thighs, and shank. Two specific research questions were developed as follows. *1. What are the timing and movement relationships for the hip and knee joints when the back squat exercise is performed; and do these relationships alter due to changes in load, phase and gender? *2. What are the timing and movement relationships for the lumbar and sacrum segments the back squat exercise is performed; and do these relationships alter due to changes in stance, phase and gender. To extend this postural movement knowledge further the second theme investigated the influence of structural muscle balance and joint range of motion. To investigate this theme, the upper body dominant activity of kayaking was chosen as this activity included use of the pelvis, trunk and the mobile shoulder girdle. The two specific research questions for this theme were as follows: *1. What are the muscle balance, muscle function, range of movement, and shoulder stabiliser strength relationships with the race performance time for elite kayakers? *2. What are the structural strength relationships for the dominant agonistic shoulder muscles in elite kayakers; and do these relationships influence performance?
Learning from the past, providing for our future: an exploration of traditional Paiwanese craft as inspiration for contemporary ceramics
Creators: name: Wang, Yu-Hsin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This project started with the Taiwanese's Cultural & Creative Industries Policy, which demands that all new products include local cultural content. However, little is known about Taiwanese cultures. This research looked specifically at one of the cultures, the Paiwanese Tribe. This thesis reports on the research journey; identifying what the Paiwanese knew about their culture and why they were unable to produce traditional products. It argues that the displacement of the tribe has made it materially impossible to continue traditional practices. This research then identified ways of capturing spirit of traditional culture using modern technology. A successful model of working with crafts people workshops in discussed. A case is made for the use of narrative enquiry and oral history to record Paiwanese understanding. These understandings were translated into a design outcome using a design method called narrative design. The success of this research suggests that such an approach is one model that can be used in design using new technologies and materials from the re-establishment method of traditional products. The understanding generated for regaining traditional craft knowledge is extended with the design of a tea set that draws on this traditional knowledge, narrative and culture. The tea set represents this knowledge for a global market. It is argued that the design process used can guide design that transforms the culture message and delivers it for a wide audience. This design concept process is a model that can be used to develop cultural products.

description: The Ottawa Embayment is a intracratonic rift basin that preserves a unique and eventful history through deep time. Its evolution records opening of the Iapetus Ocean with the break-up of Rodinia, followed by the formation of a continental passive margin, trapping siliciclastic sediments eroded from the adjacent Grenville Province. Samples were collected from a transect across the crystalline rift flank and through the embayment. We investigate the influence of crystallinitiy and non-ideal crystal chapes on He diffusion and resulting zircon (U-Th)/He age with the use of zircon (U-Th)/He thermochronometry, raman spectroscopy and x-ray micro-computed tomography. We then integrate our thermochronology data with regional geology to utilize multi-sample numerical modelling to improve our understanding of the thermal history of the Ottawa Embayment and the evolution of intracratonic rift basins. The works collected within define a comprehensive temperature-time history for the basin and rift flank from the Late-Mesoproterozoic to present day.
A Critical Analysis of Salafi Jihadist Militancy and Discourse

description: Terrorism continues to threaten peace, stability, the state and human security. Organisations subscribing to the Salafi jihadist ideology, such as al-Qa’eda and ISIL present one specific threat and pose significant and persistent challenges to international peace and security. ISIL has organised and inspired various unsophisticated, remote-controlled and lone-actor attacks, despite its territory losses. Governments, researchers, security commentators and others attempt to understand the individual actors, their motivations, their discourses and the structural circumstances in which they develop. This thesis seeks to address some of these challenges.
description: A literature review was conducted to explore theoretical approaches to terrorist motivation generally and to clarify the ways in which psychological and sociological approaches can be applied to understand engagement with Salafi jihadist militant groups. Case-studies of Tunisia and the North Caucasus were utilised to examine the structural conditions of locations identified as milieus from which large numbers of non-state militants have joined groups such as ISIL. In-depth analyses of the discourses of sheikhs identified as being prominent among Salafi jihadist foreign fighters engaged in conflict in Syria were used to explore militant discourses.
Using the Hydro-Brake® to Control and Attenuate Urban Stormwater Runoff, Improve WSUD Treatment Processes and Reduce Downstream Flooding Risk
Creators: name: Hall, Randall
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2015
Subjects: Water-sensitive urban design (WSUD)

description: Water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) is a land planning and engineering design approach which integrates the urban water cycle, including stormwater, groundwater and wastewater management and water supply, into urban design to minimise the environmental degradation and improve aesthetic and recreational appeal (Kuhn, 2010). Stormwater quality improvement devices (SQIDs) usually rely on sufficient residence times and low flow rates in order to filter efficiently. The increased urbanisation of Australia has added vast areas of impervious terrain across all built-up areas. This along with typical Australian high intensity, short duration storms is resulting in large amounts of runoff over a short period. These large rainfall events are causing inefficiencies within SQIDs, with pollutants gaining access to stream channels and causing problems with environmental flows. Important environmental characteristics can be maintained by constraining the volume, rate and timing of the filtration points (Hamsteed, 2007).

description: What follows is a brief commentary to Dan Sperber's plenary lecture at ECAP7 "The deconstruction of social unreality". Sperber's main criticism to Searle's socia lontology is that Searle attributes a causal role to mere Cambridge properties (in Sperber'sexample: Jones dies, so the rest of the world gains the Cambridge status of "Jones' survivors"). Sperber then argues that declarations do not create institutional facts causally, criticizes the Serlean theory of recognition/acceptance and put forward his thesis using the concept cognitive causal chains.

description: As the third most important greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide (N2O) is a stable greenhouse gas and also plays a significant role in stratospheric ozone destruction. The primary anthropogenic source of N2O stems from the use of nitrogen in agriculture, with soils being the major contributors. Currently, the annual N2O emissions from this “soil–microbe-plant” system is more than 2.6 Tg (one Tg equals a million metric tons) of N2O-N globally. My doctoral studies aimed to explore innovative strategies for N2O mitigation, in the context of environmental microbiology’s potential contribution to alleviating global warming. The bacterial enzyme nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR), naturally found in some soils, is the only known enzyme capable of catalyzing the final step of the denitrification pathway, conversion of N2O to N2. Therefore, to “scrub” or reduce N2O emissions, bacterial N2OR was heterologously expressed inside the leaves and roots of transgenic plants. Others had previously shown that the functional assembly of the catalytic centres (CuZ) of N2OR is lacking when only nosZ is expressed in other bacterial hosts. There, coexpression of nosZ with nosD, nosF and nosY was found to be necessary for production of the catalytically active holoenzyme. I have generated transgenic tobacco plants expressing the nosZ gene, as well as tobacco plants in which the other four nos genes were coexpressed. More than 100 transgenic tobacco lines, expressing nosZ and nosFLZDY under the control of rolD promoter and d35S promoter, have been analyzed by PCR, RT-PCR and Western blot. The activity of N2OR expressed in transgenic plants, analyzed with the methyl viologen-linked enzyme assay, showed detectable N2O reducing activity. The N2O-reducing patterns observed were similar to that of the positive control purified bacterial N2OR. The data indicated that expressing bacterial N2OR heterologously in plants, without the expression of the accessory Nos proteins, could convert N2O into inert N2. This suggests that atmospheric phytoremediation of N2O by plants harbouring N2OR could be invaluable in efforts to reduce emissions from crop production fields.

description: Breast cancer survivors need to undergo adjuvant endocrine therapy after completion of curative treatments to prevent disease recurrence. These individuals often experience symptoms which are detrimental to their quality of life (QOL). Implementation of interventions for effective symptom management among these survivors is warranted. This review provides an overview of studies on the effectiveness of the previously developed interventions for breast cancer survivors undergoing adjuvant endocrine therapy on symptom alleviation and enhancement of QOL or health-related QOL (HRQOL). Five electronic databases were employed in the literature search. Study selection, data extraction and critical appraisal of the included studies were conducted by three authors independently. Twenty-four studies were included. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions are effective in addressing the symptoms associated with adjuvant endocrine therapy among the breast cancer survivors, and in improving their QOL, although discrepancies were noted between the studies in terms of the significance of these effects. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions can be effective for symptom management among breast cancer survivors. Their implementation is recommended for effective survivorship care for these individuals. Further research on intervention development for breast cancer survivors is recommended to provide further evidence for the utility of the explored interventions in survivorship care for these patients.

The Role of Periostin in HER2/ErbB2-induced Breast Cancer
Creators: name: Lo, Vivian
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2011

description: Periostin (Postn) is a secreted cell adhesion protein that shares a structural homology to the insect axon guidance protein fasciclin I (FAS1). Periostin interacts with multiple cell-surface receptors, most notably integrins, which activate signaling pathways to promote cancer cell survival, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. Interestingly, periostin is frequently overexpressed in numerous human cancers, including breast, lung, colon, pancreatic, and ovarian cancer. Here, we investigated the role of periostin in HER2/ErbB2-induced mammary tumorigenesis. Although periostin is primarily expressed in the stromal fibroblasts and not the epithelial cells of the mammary gland, it does not affect mammary gland outgrowth during development or pregnancy when ablated. The male FVB Postn-/- mice were smaller than the male FVB Postn+/+ and Postn+/- mice, whereas there was no difference in size among the female mice of all genotypes. We also demonstrate that NeuNDL Postn+/- mice in a mixed FVB/C57 background (Postn +/-*) did not develop tumors after 12 months, whereas NeuNDL Postn+/- (Postn +/-) and NeuNDL Postn-/- (Postn -/-) mice in a pure FVB background developed tumors by 10 months of age, similar to NeuNDL Postn+/+ mice in a pure FVB background (Postn +/+). However, Postn +/+ tumors had a higher cellularity and appeared more dense than the cystic Postn +/- or Postn -/- tumors. In vitro studies with ErbB2/Neu overexpressing primary mammary tumor epithelial cells demonstrated that the presence of periostin does not affect the cell proliferation or migration rate. In conclusion, periostin ablation affects cellularity of NeuNDL tumors in vivo and may play a role in tumor cell proliferation in vivo.

At home and at risk? Screening for nutrition risk in community-living older adults

description: Australians are experiencing increased life expectancy resulting in an ageing population. Approximately 3.7 million people, 15% of the Australian population, are aged 65 years or greater. This proportion is predicted to increase over the next decade. The majority of older Australians live in their own homes, referred to here as community-living older adults. Many desire to remain living independently in their own home for as long as possible, yet the process of ageing can challenge this. Nutrition is an important contributor to healthy ageing, however maintaining an adequate nutritional status can be difficult for many older adults due to physiological and psychosocial factors. Ongoing inadequate intake of energy (kilojoules) and/or nutrient(s) required to meet physiological requirements can lead to the harmful and complex condition of malnutrition. So, for those growing older in their own homes, awareness of appropriate age-related nutrition and nutrition risk factors is important. Nutrition screening is a process that identifies individuals who may be vulnerable to malnutrition. Once identified, an appropriate intervention should follow to resolve risk factors, or at least slow, the malnutrition trajectory. Further, screening can also act as a tool for prevention and behaviour change. Although routine screening of older adults in all settings is recommended by evidencebased practice guidelines, few studies have reported screening practices or common risk factors from the perspective of community-living older adults. Therefore, this research aimed to explore nutrition screening practices and nutrition risk factors in community-living older adults in the context of the Australian healthcare system.

description: Neurological injuries are highly prevalent in society, for example an estimated 60,000 Australian’s have a stroke each year and an estimated one in four people globally will have a stroke in their lifetime. Neurological injuries can result in a complex sequalae of physical impairments, such as muscle paresis, spasticity, sensory and perceptual deficits, and reduced motor control. It is well established that individuals following neurological injury tend to report mobility limitations as their primary deficit and returning to independent walking is the most commonly identified rehabilitation goal within this population. Spasticity is a prevalent physical impairment (ranging from 63% to 84%), thought to impact walking performance in individuals following neurological injury. Spasticity was defined by Lance (1980), as a velocity-dependent hyper-excitability of the stretch reflex. This is a commonly used definition of spasticity due to the velocity-dependence that it refers to. Despite the high prevalence of lower limb spasticity and the perceived importance of returning to independent walking following neurological injury, there remains a lack of consensus in the literature regarding the relationship between lower limb spasticity and walking performance. This may be due to the inherent limitations of clinical scales of spasticity. It is unknown whether current spasticity assessment methods are able to accurately identify patients who have spasticity impacting walking performance and subsequently requiring the provision of active intervention. Current issues in the field of clinical spasticity assessment include: poor standardisation of testing speed and range of motion (ROM), limited research investigating the ecological validity or functional relevance of clinical scales of spasticity, and a lack of user-friendly assessment methods to ensure that clinical assessments are conducted accurately.

description: The daughters of women with a history of depression are at heightened risk for a range of mental health problems. The present study investigated emotion regulation, cortisol reactivity to stress, and interpersonal competence as potential indicators of risk in adolescent girls at high versus low risk for depression. Participants were a community sample of 47 girls and their mothers (27 high risk and 20 low risk). Mothers and daughters had been interviewed to assess diagnostic history as part of a previous longitudinal study. In the current study, daughters completed the Trier Social Stress Test for Children (TSST-C) and cortisol samples were collected before and after exposure to this psychosocial stressor. Both mothers and daughters completed self-report questionnaires and daughters were re-assessed using the Depressive Disorders module of the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia. High risk mothers were also interviewed to assess the timing and chronicity of their depressive episodes during their daughters’ lifetime. High and low risk girls had equivalent ratings of self-reported stress following the TSST-C, but different physiological responses. Girls at high risk for depression showed a blunted cortisol response to the TSST-C whereas low risk girls showed a normal cortisol response. High risk status for depression predicted a blunted cortisol response to stress, which predicted difficulties with emotion regulation; difficulties with emotion regulation in turn predicted a greater number of self-reported depressive symptoms. These results suggest that maternal depression may act as a stressor that compromises stress-response system functioning in daughters and produces related difficulties with emotion regulation.

description: Attention involves focussing on an aspect of the environment, while simultaneously disregarding other information, drawing on behavioural and cognitive processes. Visual search is the active exploration of the visual field with the goal of locating a target or item. People regularly perform these searches in their everyday lives. In particular, the task of driving requires a series of dynamic visual searches for ‘targets’ including other road users or traffic signalling information in a changing environment; whilst simultaneously controlling a vehicle. Visual attention and successful visual search are vital for accurate hazard perception to support safe driving. Considerable research into cognitive driving skills, including visual attention, focuses on novice, licensed drivers, who are statistically over-represented in crashes. However, despite its significance in preparing drivers for solo driving, the learner driver phase is often overlooked. Thus, the research program outlined in this thesis explores the evolution of learner driver visual attention over the time spent learning to drive.

Hydroamination

description: Intermolecular reactions are inherently more difficult than intramolecular reactions, and several transformations can only occur as cyclizations, often to form 5-membered rings. The use of directing or tethering groups allowing preassociation with a reagent or catalyst is a common strategy to overcome such low reactivity, which can lead to increases in the rate, regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of intermolecular reactions. Typically, such preassociation involves hydrogen bonds, coordination to a metal ion/catalyst or stepwise installation of a temporary tether. As part of ongoing investigations on metal-free hydroaminations, it was speculated that a simple organic molecule could allow the formation of a temporary tether and enable directed intermolecular Cope-type hydroaminations to proceed at room temperature. Recently, it was found that alkylhydroxylamines add to allylic amines regioselectively in the presence of an aldehyde catalyst. This thesis presents the background material, design elements, optimization and scope of this reactivity.
The Economic Impact of the Superannuation Tax Concessions on Statutory Participants

Subjects: superannuation

description: Since 1992 in Australia, when compulsory superannuation was first enacted, policymakers, professionals and academics have debated the likely long-term benefits and costs of this intervention. However, little attention has been paid to the complexity of the tax incidences that the compulsion brings. This thesis seeks to present an in-depth analysis of the superannuation tax concessions. The evaluation is based on Adam Smith's theory of taxation equity; and it examines the concessions impact from the individual tax payer's point of view, within the Australian setting. The thesis finds that the tax concession effect is not benign. Instead, the tax concessions exhibit behaviours that are akin to a discrete, unpriced risk factor in the long-run returns on compulsory superannuation savings and investment. The outcome is that the higher income earners receive a greater benefit from the superannuation tax concessions than lower income earners. This has important implications for taxation and superannuation policy making.

description: Business succession (the transition of ownership and management from one owner/manager to another) is an issue of growing importance to the business community internationally. The paper outlines the activities of the Dunedin City Council’s Economic Development Unit to get local business owners to plan for their business exit - the Beyond Business programme. It documents the consultation process undertaken, describes findings of focus groups with local business advisors and a large survey of local business owners. These processes culminated in the employment of an independent succession planning advisor to help local business owners ‘Beyond Business’. Analysis of one year’s client’s progress is presented. Indications are that this advice, now in its third year of being offered, is raising awareness among business owners of the need to plan for succession.

description: Agenda 21, adopted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, established that to achieve a concerted global effort in promoting sustainable development all levels of government need to incorporate environmental concerns within their decision-making processes (United Nations 1992). This thesis explores ways that social planners in government and environmental organisations can integrate environmental art, defined here as any art that aims to stimulate discussion and/or action around the environment, into their environmental education, social planning, and infrastructure processes to encourage environmentally sustainable behaviour at a grassroots level. Environmental art's ability to affect pro-environmental behaviour change and an individual's sense of place is investigated by delving into its appeal to people's emotions, its attracting attention to nature and the environment, and its reinforcement of an environmental sense of place. The research uses three case studies of an environmental art festival, two public art sculpture installations, and an ecovisualisation on the Sunshine Coast of Australia to analyse environmental art in three situations. It uses a mixed method approach to collect and generate a rich assemblage of data (e.g. questionnaire responses, interview transcripts, and media coverage) to analyse the impetus for, and diversity of responses to, these representations of environmental art. As such, research participants included festival audiences, workshop participants, residents, artists and council employees.

INCENP Translation during Oocyte Maturation Is a Maternal Factor of Xenopus Laevis Development

description: During vertebrate oocyte maturation, the chromosomes progress to and arrest at metaphase of meiosis II in preparation for fertilization. This process includes emission of the first polar body. The second polar body is emitted after fertilization. A number of proteins are accumulated during oocyte maturation. Inhibition of this de novo translation does not appear to affect the progression of meiosis during oocyte maturation. The role of these pools of proteins has yet to be elucidated. Curiously, several of the upregulated proteins are key players in mitosis, including INCENP, a subunit of the chromosome passenger complex implicated in chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. During early stages of development in Xenopus laevis, the embryo cycles through mitosis, also known as embryo cleavage, every 30min with little to no time for transcription/translation. Our goal is to determine if the de novo translation of these mitotic proteins during oocyte maturation has a role in early embryogenesis. We used morpholino oligonucleotides antisense to INCENP mRNA (INCENPmorpho) to inhibit de novo translation during oocyte maturation. Using confocal imaging and the host transfer technique, these injected oocytes were matured, fertilized and assessed for developmental competency. INCENPmorpho and a control morpholino (ctrlmorpho) had no discernable effect on 1st or 2nd polar body emission. Whereas ctrlmorpho embryos developed normally, INCENPmorpho embryos did not cleave. Thus, de novo translation of INCENP during oocyte maturation is necessary for embryogenesis. Specifically, accumulation of INCENP and other mitotic proteins during oocyte maturation may be a common strategy in this species to prepare for the rapid and synchronous mitoses during early embryogenesis.
Verità e giustificazione degli asserti temporali

description: Il rapporto tra verità e temporalità, discusso dai pensatori antichi e medievali, è tornato centrale nell’indagine logica solo negli ultimi decenni, dopo essere stato a lungo eclissato dalla volontà di "detemporalizzare" lo studio del ragionamento formale. In queste pagine cercheremo di analizzare alcuni aspetti logici e filosofici della questione, organizzando il lavoro in tre parti. La prima parte è dedicata al trattamento di elementari nozioni di tempo nei sistemi formali, con particolare attenzione per le proposte avanzate alla metà del secolo scorso da Arthur Norman Prior. La seconda parte riguarda alcuni problemi dovuti all’uso di una semantica bivalente per gli asserti temporali: l’esigenza di chiarificare la teoria corrispondentista della verità e il superamento dello scoglio del determinismo. Nella terza parte, infine, ci concentreremo su approcci semantici alternativi: le logiche a più valori (Łukasiewicz, Prior), il metodo delle supervalutazioni (Thomason, Van Fraassen) e le idee giustificazioniste (Dummett). Vedremo che questi approcci forniscono spunti interessanti per un trattamento unitario delle nozioni temporali e modali.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore how physiotherapists working in stroke care understand their role(s) in the context of clinical practice and how this is mediated by their post-licensure educational experiences. Specifically the study focused on their experiences with the Bobath Concept, a well-developed post-licensure neurology physiotherapy program. This study was oriented within sociocultural theory as a way to understand how the experiences and interactions of physiotherapists mediate their professional practice and their sense of professional identity in a way not previously studied in physiotherapy literature. In order to honour the voices of the participants, this study drew on hermeneutic phenomenology and used a principled data analysis tool to present an understanding of the interrelationships involved in stroke care from their perspectives. Four physiotherapists participated in this study by responding in writing and orally to a clinical case and participating in an in-depth interview regarding their professional roles and experiences. The findings suggest that these physiotherapists understand the Bobath Concept as a professional stance which informs their practice and contributes to an ethos of caring, which is reflected in the ways they understand their roles in clinical practice.

description: Mit der Energiewende verfolgt die Bundesregierung eine Transformation hin zu einem auf erneuerbaren Energien basierenden Energiesystem. Als Querschnittsaufgabe betrifft die Energiewende die Bereiche Strom, Wärme und Mobilität und tangiert somit alle wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Bereiche. Um die Diskussionen und politischen Entscheidungen zur Energiewende auf eine fundierte Basis zu stellen, sollte möglichst der gesamte Wissensstand berücksichtigt werden. Dazu gehören nicht nur Studien, die von der Bundesregierung oder den zuständigen Ministerien und Behörden selbst in Auftrag gegeben werden, sondern auch Studien aus der Industrie, von Verbänden, Nichtregierungsorganisationen etc..Ziel dieses Projekts war es daher, diese Wissensbasis weiter zu systematisieren. Schwerpunkt des Vorhabens war es, ausgewählte neu erschienene Studien in kurzer Frist im Rahmen von Faktenblättern zu analysieren und zu bewerten, um wesentliche Ergebnisse zeitnah in die politische Diskussion einfließen lassen zu können. Des Weiteren lieferte das Vorhaben durch eine quartalsweise erfolgende Synthese der untersuchten Studien Ansätze für die Weiterentwicklung oder ggf. für die Korrektur energiepolitischer Weichenstellungen.Im Projektverlauf wurden fünf Themenschwerpunkte deutlich, die vertieft analysiert wurden: 1) Reform des Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetzes bzw. Weiterentwicklung der Förderung erneuerbarer Energien, 2) Kosten der Energiewende, 3) Kapazitätsmechanismen, 4) Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung sowie 5) Flexibilitätsoptionen. Daraus ergaben sich Handlungsempfehlungen für die weitere energiepolitische Diskussion und zum weiteren Forschungsbedarf. Die Handlungsempfehlungen umfassen eine Aktualisierung der ⁠BMUB⁠-Leitstudie, die Entwicklung einer Methodenkonvention für Energieszenarien sowie die weitere Vertiefung des Handlungsbereichs Energieeffizienz.Verfügbar sind der Abschlussbericht, in dem die Projektergebnisse systematisiert dargestellt und ausgewertet werden. Ferner liegt ein Anhangband mit den im Projektverlauf erstellten Studien-Faktenblättern vor, der einen guten Überblick über die zahlreichen ausgewerteten Studien gibt.
