description: Practical experience and observations suggest that corrosion affected reinforced concrete structures are more prone to cracking than other forms of structural deterioration. Around the world, maintenance and repairs resulting from premature concrete cracking and spalling are associated with very high running cost. Furthermore, the ever-increasing demand for greater load carrying capacity of existing reinforced concrete structure only exacerbate the issue. Consequently, this increases the probability of failure of corrosion-affected reinforced concrete structure. It is therefore vital to study corrosion-induced concrete cracking and to perform a service life prediction to avoid unwanted corrosion-induced failures and develop cost-effective methods for maintenance and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures.

This research attempts to examine the process of concrete cracking and determine the critical crack depth at which a corrosion-induced crack becomes unstable and suddenly propagate to the concrete surface. In the analytical model, a model for corrosion-induced critical crack depth has been derived based on the concept of stress intensity factor. In the numerical model, an extended finite element method has been used to predict the concrete cover capacity based on a maximum principal stress fracture criterion. To validate the developed models, an accelerated corrosion experiment was conducted and the time to corrosion-induced cracking and the growth of crack width was measured. With the developed model, a time-dependent remaining service life prediction for corrosion-induced cracking in RC was conducted.

It is concluded that the analytical method is one of the very few theoretical methods that can predict with reasonable accuracy corrosion-induced critical crack depth in reinforced concrete. It was also found that the extended finite element method can be used to model the concrete cover capacity which can then be used to predict the time to corrosion-induced concrete cracking.  It was also found that the porous zone in concrete can significantly affect the time to corrosion-induced cracking. It was also found that corrosion rate and concrete cover are the most influencing factors that will affect the remaining service life of corrosion affected reinforced concrete structures. With the developed models in this thesis, the information provided can help asset managers and engineers in making more inform decisions with regards to maintenance and rehabilitation strategies of corrosion affected reinforced concrete structures.

title: An assessment of supply-side and demand-side policies in EU-28 household electricty prices
Creators: name: García-Álvarez, María Teresa
Publisher: name: International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
Year: 2020

description: An increase in household electricity prices has been taken place in the European Union in last years, which has been strongly influenced by the regulation component. This paper focuses on an empirical assessment of both supply-side and demand-side policies in the European Union over the period 2000-2015. More specifically, the analysis of the electricity industry liberalisation process and renewable energy support policies (from supply-side), as well as, energy taxes (from demand-side) has been developed in order to contribute to the present debate about the effect of these factors on household electricity prices. The results suggest that the liberalisation process has involved greater household electricity prices. Regarding solar photovoltaic energy support policies, the costs of quota obligation systems seem also to result in greater household electricity prices. However, energy taxes do not have a significant influence on these prices. Based on these results, recommendation actions are proposed for policy-makers.

description: Multiple myeloma, a hematological malignancy characterized by monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow, affects nearly 23,000 Americans per year. Obesity contributes to the development and progression of multiple myeloma, yet the relationship between multiple myeloma cells and adipocytes found in the tumor microenvironment has not been fully elucidated. To examine how adipocytes contribute to the growth and progression of the cancer, human multiple myeloma cell lines were cocultured with primary human adipocytes isolated from lipoaspirates. We found that multiple myeloma cells grown with adipocytes showed increased viability, angiogenic potential, and invasion. Moreover adipocytes from individuals with increased body mass index further compounded this. It was also shown that the multiple myeloma cells alter the adipocytes' protein expression to further exasperate this. Thus, we demonstrate an important role for adipocytes in promoting myeloma pathologies.
Accessible neighbourhoods: towards active transportation

subject: Transport engineering

description: A growing number of researchers have recently focused on improving the sustainability of transportation systems by converting routine motorised travel into active modes of transport. The importance of physical activities and its impacts on health not only attracts the attention of practitioners, but it has also turned planners and policy makers towards achieving transportation sustainability through enhancing active travel behaviours. In order to identify effective strategies at increasing pedestrian and bicycle transportation in a specific local area, planners need to identify how the current levels of accessibility in neighbourhoods could affect transport modes choice. Although many studies have been conducted on active transportation modelling, the importance of accessibility has been neglected. Hence, in the first stage, this research developed new approaches measuring walking, cycling and public transport accessibilities within spatial extents. Thereafter, the accessibility measures were classified into an access level measure using clustering analysis. In the second stage of the study, Negative Binomial regression (NBR) models used to examine how accessibility could affect active transportation. Key findings indicated that more accessible neighbourhoods had more walking, cycling and public transport trips.

description: The primary subject of this thesis is the case mounted against NGOs by Conservative Think Tanks (CTTs), in particular the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA). From approximately 1998 to 2006, the IPA was at the forefront of a public campaign questioning the legitimacy of NGOs such as Greenpeace, Amnesty International and Oxfam. The IPA essentially argued that NGOs have undue political influence over governments and corporations and are a distinct threat to democracy. NGOs as small groups of organised private interests marginalise the interests of the disorganised, compromising the obligation that governments owe to voters and corporations to shareholders. The IPA case is significant because the private agenda it advances is not well understood because of a distinct lack of appreciation for the way ideology has shaped the entire debate on the accountability of NGOs.

The issues surrounding NGOs are defined as problems of accountability, but there has been very little recognition of the influence of neoliberalism on defining the terms of accountability in practice. The difficulty of defining accountability is widely acknowledged, yet it remains an idea with enormous appeal. It is an idea that is held to be synonymous with notions of the public good and a defining feature of democracy. An entity that is perceived to threaten either usually faces demands to be more accountable. The question is who is making the demands and on what terms?

The critical examination of the NGO accountability debate undertaken in this thesis documents the underlying, ideologically driven campaign against NGOs. It has been conducted on a scale and impacts on NGOs in ways that have not been recognised. This thesis argues that it is not a problem of accountability, but a problem with accountability that is at the heart of the issues surrounding NGOs. An exploration of the contours of the debate, the conduct of NGOs and CTTs is used as a basis to support the principal argument advanced in this thesis: the practice of accountability is antithetical to democracy.

description: Knowledge of the nature of buildings within CBD areas is fundamental to a broad range of decision-making processes, including planning, emergency management and the mitigation of the impact of natural hazards. To support these activities, Geoscience Australia has developed a building information system called the National Exposure Information System (NEXIS) which provides information on buildings across Australia. Most of the building level information in NEXIS is statistically derived, but efforts are being made to include more detailed information on the nature of individual buildings, particularly in CBD areas. This is being achieved in Darwin through field survey work.

A systematic approach for detecting faults in agent designs

description: This thesis proposes a mechanism, including automated tool support, for early-phase defect
detection by comparing the plan structures of a belief-desire-intention (BDI) agent design against
the following: (1) requirement models, specified in terms of scenarios and goals; and (2) agent
communication models. The intuition of our approach is to extract sets of possible behaviour runs
from the agent-behaviour models and to verify whether these runs conform to the specifications
of the system-to-be. The proposed approach in this thesis is applicable at design time and does
not require source code. Our approach is based on the Prometheus agent-design methodology but
is applicable to other methodologies that support the same notions.

We evaluate the proposed verification framework on designs, ranging from student projects
to case studies of industry-level projects. Our evaluation demonstrates that even a simple specification
developed by relatively experienced developers is prone to defects, and our approach is successful in
 uncovering most of these defects. In addition, we conduct a scalability analysis of our methods,
 and the outcomes reveal that our approach can scale when designs grow in size.
The effect of hydrothermal alteration on the mechanical behaviour of rockmass

Subjects: classificationCode: 400502
subject: Civil geotechnical engineering

description: The Xantho case study aims to quantify the influence that hydrothermal alteration type and intensity has on the mechanical behaviour of the Xantho rockmass at the Gossan Hill volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) Zn-Cu-Pb underground mine. Classifying fracture frequency domains in drill core by the type and intensity of the secondary hydrothermal alteration assemblage, the Xantho case study displays a quantifiable distinction between the mechanical behaviour of the chlorite altered and silica altered intact rocks and rockmass. Supplementary classification of altered fracture domains by lithology and geological setting show how the different material properties and gross textural character of the stratified volcanoclastic sediments and massive igneous intrusions influence the development of fractures in a predictable manner.

 Characterisation and quantification of the rockmass using the geological strength index provides three significant rockmass quality populations that highlight the importance of alteration type on the condition of the discontinuity and draws a distinction between volcanoclastic sediments and igneous intrusions. Numerical modelling of the chlorite and silica rockmass using the Hoek-Brown failure criterion displays marked behaviour near an underground excavation and coupled with the location of strong core disking, illustrate the role that hydrothermal alteration may have in distributing far-field stress.

Subjects: subject: HN Social history and conditions. Social problems. Social reform

description: This thesis asks why major urban reforms in India between 2005 and 2015 were more successfully implemented in some cities than in others. It undertakes a study of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), launched in 2005 by the Indian government, which aimed to implement governance reforms and urban infrastructure renewal across 65 Indian cities, but finished with only modest success. The implementation outcome of the mission also varied across cities. This thesis focuses on the differential implementation outcomes of the reforms in two Indian cities, Ahmedabad and Kanpur, and identifies historically constituted political capacity - located in municipal organization at the city level - as the key determinant of divergent trajectories in the JNNURM implementation. The study adapts John Kingdon‟s framework of „policy windows‟ to explore the formation of municipal capacities and municipal organisations in the two cities. The research identifies two historical „windows‟ that were crucial in the shaping of municipal organizations in Ahmedabad and Kanpur: the first episode was the colonial formation of municipal organisations; the second episode was the period of neoliberalisation. Following Kingdon, in each window, the problem, the policy and the politics have been identified and spelled out. The process of “coupling” between the problem and the policy has then been analysed by looking at the nature of politics and the principal political actors. The analysis demonstrates that while in Ahmedabad, the coupling was achieved during the two historical episodes, the problem and the policy remained unattached in the case of Kanpur. This variation led to two different architectures of municipal organisations in the two cities, resulting in different levels of municipal capacities at the time of the inauguration of the JNNURM. The thesis concludes that the specific histories of urban governance systems matter, and a policy insensitive to this, is likely to fail.
Teaching About the Other in Primary Level Social Studies: The Sami in Norwegian Textbooks
Creators: name: Eriksen, Kristin Gregers
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: The aim of this article is to discuss to what extent and in what ways the Sami people are included in national imaginary in textbooks. The article sheds critical light on important aspects of democracy, inclusion and multi-culturalism in education through the example of indigenous peoples in Norway. The article also explores what opportunities textbooks provide for promoting anti-oppressive education and pedagogical subjectification.

Method: Social studies textbooks for primary school are analyzed based on critical discourse analysis (CDA) and elements from multi-modal analysis. The analysis focuses on the use of vocabulary and pronouns signaling inclusion and exclusion. Specific attention is paid to the hidden curriculum.

Findings: The Sami are essentialized and actively constructed as the Other through the structure and content of narratives. This corresponds to the strategy described in anti-oppressive education as education for the Other. Externalization of the Sami from the story of the Norwegian national day and in particular, treatment of the discriminatory Norwegianization politics, reinforce the image of Norwegian exceptionalism.

Practical implications: Potential for education that promotes social change and subjectification through disrupting hegemonic discourses are located. Extended knowledge on this implicates further research on the workings of discourse in educational practice.

A Vehicle for Post-National Transformation or an Instrument for Interstate Cooperation? European Integration in Slovakia’s Secondary Education Textbooks
Creators: name: Sulikova, Jana
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: In light of the public resistance towards the deepening of European integration (EI) and the role that education is anticipated to have in supporting the process, this paper examines the conceptualisation of EI in lower secondary textbooks for History, Geography and Civics. Specifically, the paper asks whether EI is conceived of as a vehicle for the post-national transformation of Europe or as an instrument for interstate cooperation.

Design: Drawing on the insights of EI theories and content analysis, the paper adopts a qualitative approach. Applying this approach, the textbooks currently used in Slovakia’s lower secondary schools are analysed as a case study.

Findings: The findings are inconclusive with regard to the research question. Indeed, while the sources are positive about EI, the findings suggest some problematic aspects in terms of how the textbooks analysed conceive the nature of the integration process.

Research implications: The approach taken in this paper could be replicated on a larger scale in other countries.

Practical implications: Curricula and textbook designers ought to consider how to include a critical discussion on the deepening of EI in secondary education.

Publisher: name: International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
Year: 2020

description: The European Union has being developing its Energy and Enviornmental policy along the last 30 years. Recent European Commision communications confirm the leadership of European Union on reducing pollutant gases emissions and technological change towards climate neutral economy. This study assessess the efficiency of European Energy Policy from a Modern Portfolio Theory perspective. The proposal studies the disaggregated European power portfolio: to make a more exhaustive analysis, focusing individually on each European country along the period 1990-2015. The efficiency of the Energy and Environmental Policy of each Member State is calculated measuring their distance to the power generation efficient frontier. The quadratic optimization model used by MPT is complemented by a cluster analysis of European Member States, in order to be able to observe country behaviour tendencies: regarding the application of their energy and environmental policies without overlooking the efficiency of that implementation. Results stand out that France, Slovakia and Sweden belong to the “leader” efficient cluster for the considered period. In turn, Denmark, Germany, Greece and Italy show a high consistence in the application of their energy and environmental policies along the considered period, as they moved upwards during that period.

Different Expectations in Civic Education: A Comparison of Upper-Secondary School Textbooks in Sweden
Creators: name: Arensmeier, Cecilia
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: The aim of the article is to examine civic education in Sweden with regard to equality, by comparing curricula and textbooks for social studies in different tracks in upper-secondary school.

Method: The study is based on qualitative text analysis, with quantitative features. The analysis maps themes cover-ed, the extent and depth of thematic coverage, and amount of emphasis on conceptual understanding and analytical training.

Findings: The results point to some similarities between the tracks; limited attention is given to democratic values and civic engagement, apart from voting. Clear differences are found in amount of information and complexity. The most basic textbooks target the vocational track, while (some of) the textbooks for the academic track have an elaborated focus on complex conceptual understanding and analytical training.

Practical implications: The findings indicate different expectations in civic education. Vocational students receive more limited opportunities to develop civic abilities, which might negatively affect the exercise of citizenship and increase political inequality.

Citizenship Education in Italian Textbooks. How Much Space is There for Europe and Active Citizenship?
Creators: name: Albanesi, Cinzia
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: In this article we investigated how the Italian school curricula incorporated European and national recommendations concerning European and Citizenship education, analysing how much and which kind of space is devoted to Europe and active citizenship in Italian high school textbooks.

Design/methodology/approach: We selected a sample of bestseller textbooks of different disciplines (History and English as a Second Language) for secondary (lyceum and technical) school students (18 years old), including books explicitly designed for citizenship education, and analysed them using a mixed methods approach (quantitative analysis, and thematic content analysis).

Findings: We argue that the current European recommendations on citizenship education are far from being incorporated in the architecture and the contents of textbooks used in Italian secondary schools. We identified some shortcomings which should be addressed to increase the capacity of textbooks to form young European citizen.

Practical implications: The opportunities that the EU offers to young people to practice active citizenship and supporting the acquisition of critical and reflective skills beyond formal knowledge deserve more attention.

description: Purpose: To investigate how EU related contents are represented in Portuguese upper secondary school textbooks of History and English as a Foreign Language (EFL).
Design/methodology/approach: The study performs a textbook analysis on two History textbooks and three EFL textbooks to explore if and how EU related topics are addressed. The methodological approach was mainly qualitative, based on a content analysis of the textbooks, but also includes some quantitative data (e.g., number of paragraphs) to determine the importance given to European topics in each of the selected school subjects.
Findings: EFL textbooks have a residual approach to EU topics that is mainly focused in students’ mobility. History textbooks, while containing a significant amount of information about the EU, present it mainly in a non-confrontational perspective and do not prioritize the development of students’ critical thinking about the EU. Our data also points to a predominance of national level citizenship related content, with European citizenship being briefly and normatively presented to the students.
Research limitations/implications: EFL is attended by almost 100% of students in the academic track of secondary education, but History is a curricular subject only available to 25-30% of the students; as such, our findings refer to a specific group.
Practical implications: Textbooks should include more information about the actual problems and challenges of the EU to foster the development of students’ critical thinking about the EU.

European Identity and Citizenship in Estonia: Analyses of Textbooks and Theoretical Developments
Creators: name: Haav, Kaarel
Publisher: name: sowi-online e.V., Bielefeld
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: This article aims at elaboration of a relevant framework for European identity and citizenship. On this basis, comparative studies like ICSS, Estonian curricula, civic syllabuses and textbooks will be critically reviewed.

Methods: The framework relies on former studies on democracy and education. The work also draws on normative materials for European citizenship, comparative empirical and critical studies. The conceptual system relies on the literature on basic sociological and semiotic concepts. This framework is used for analyses of the Estonian civic education system.

Findings: The most general concepts like individual, society, culture, social actors and structures are defined as mutually inclusive. This has enabled to address complex and controversial social issues and achieve the aims of European identity and active citizenship.

The Estonian curricula, civic syllabuses and textbooks herald democratic ideals, but fail to provide for them relevant concepts. They focus on empirical and normative descriptions of main political institutions. The books hardly describe how could active citizens evaluate and influence these institutions. Their content avoids complex and controversial issues like hierarchical power relations and social inequality and fails to describe both the hierarchical public administration and the system for public participation in Estonia. All this rather hinders students’ political literacy, critical thinking and active participation.

The human body as an instrument: an investigation into its music
Creators: name: Croft, Graeme
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This project has involved investigating how the history and practice of music which incorporates the sounds of the internal body can be used as a basis of new sonic art works, how technology can advance our understanding of the internal body as a musical source of sound, and what is revealed through the composition of sonic art works which incorporate these sounds.

My research has been informed both by theoretical views which advocate for all sounds being legitimate materials for composition, and by a range of practitioners and their works, such as the Cyprian-born Australian artist Stelarc, the American artist Lauren Lesko, the New York-based multimedia performer Charlemagne Palestine, and the English performer and composer, Andre Borges.

This research has led to the development of methods for the mobile recording of body sounds and for performing body sounds live, as well as to recorded sound works and live performances.

It has also led to knowledge about body sounds and ‘point of audition’ (Chion, M 1994), embodied listening, influenced by the ideas of the philosopher Drew Leder (Leder, D 1990), and the ‘Ubiquity’ and ‘Repetition Effects’ as they apply to body sound recordings (Augoyard J-F & Torgue, H 2005).

description: Organisations frequently procure project management training as part of their initiatives to improve project management practices. The research problem is that current learning and teaching imperatives continue to produce project management practitioners who are unable to deal with the realities of complex and dynamic environments.

This research is a longitudinal study over two and a half years which reports on the adoption of the PRINCE2 project management methodology by sixteen employees of the same organisation who manage projects following the successful completion of a PRINCE2 training course. The use of the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) approach permits the study of adoption of the innovation (PRINCE2 methodology) and investigates the networks that support the PRINCE2 project methodology to be adopted as two different translations. These have been called the Knowing Translation (KT) and the Performing Translation (PT). The characteristics of the PT and the KT are described together with four moments of translation that were identified.

The nature of the PT is that the individual will continue to develop their interest in PRINCE2 and will look for a stable network that will support that translation, even if they resign from the organisation. The significance of the KT is that the individual will cease using PRINCE2 for their projects if there is no imperative given by the organisation to use it and no example set by others in using it. Differences between PT and KT were found to emerge about five months after the training course.

Each participant brings to a training course their own ‘world view’ and conception of being on a project. This is their ‘personal story’. Translations are not people but different paths that help describe outcomes of personal stories. A participants’ ‘personal story’ affects how they see themselves in the role and ultimately how effectively they will perform in the workplace. The practical significance of this study is that it is practice-oriented and assists organisations to support project management improvement initiatives.
