description: Seeking a vantage point suitable for model choice, we recast three different degrees of absence of arbitrage into a unified multidimensional semimartingale setting: absence of arbitrage of the first kind for the large set of allowable strategies, for the medium set of admissible strategies, and for the smaller set of simple no short sales trading. Each of these degrees of absence of arbitrage is equivalent to the existence of a strictly positive type of deflator: martingale, local martingale, and supermartingale deflator. Comparing these results highlights their beautiful symmetry, shows which types of strategies may create arbitrage in which kind of models, and shows which settings level the differences between two or three of the different degrees of absence of arbitrage. Understanding these phenomena and the resulting model risk can be useful when choosing between models for a specific purpose.

Uncovering the cover story: research methods and domestic labour
Creators: name: Carter, Meg
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper outlines findings from a qualitative project based on interviews with parents and children in ten families, and discusses their significance for the study of domestic labour. In interviews, participants’ initial answers explained that the way they do domestic labour is not about gender; it is about choice, efficiency, and differences in skills, and it’s all good. This account formed the ‘dominant story’ in most families. Some participants went on to express dissatisfaction with their domestic arrangements. Dissatisfaction was related to the actual performance of housework tasks, and to the work involved in taking responsibility for domestic labour, and organizing who will do what. In most families these ‘submerged’ stories were told by women. If the families I interviewed had been studied using fixedchoice questions, we would hear only the account that says domestic work is shared and everything is fine: what Hochschild (1989) called the ‘cover story’. My research demonstrates the importance of supplementing quantitative data with findings from qualitative studies. If this does not happen, government responses around work and family will be based on data that present an optimistic view of egalitarian domestic practice that does not reflect people’s experience of the families they live in.

description: Solar energy is a non-vanishing renewable energy source which is abundantly available and eco-friendly. This solar energy can be converted into useful electricity by using two different ways photovoltaic and photo-thermal. But studies have found out that the performance of the solar photovoltaic cells degrades as the temperature of the panel increases because of higher solar irradiation intensity acting on the solar panel. So necessary cooling systems have to be established to increase the lifespan and efficiency of the panel. The efficiency of the solar panel available in the market are around 15%. This project comprises of comparison of different passive cooling systems in photovoltaic cell and to find the best cooling system which gives better performance. One such passive cooling system is the phase change materials (PCM) which has the ability to absorb heat from the panel and release it to the atmosphere when it undergoes phase change. Here OM 35 is used as a PCM which was selected based on the ambient temperature of the region where the experiment is to be conducted. Another passive cooling method is by using extended surface called fins where heat transfer takes place with the help of conduction, convection and radiation to cool the solar panel. And finally, we are going to make a PCM and fins hybrid cooling system and compare its output with individual fins and individual PCM cooling system. From this experiment we observed that integration of different passive cooling technique improved the performance of PV panel in terms of power output and efficiency. The incorporation of the three systems enhanced the entire performance of the PV panel but the fin cooled system has more efficiency enhancement compared to the other two cooling systems. Maximum temperature reduction was also shown by the panel with fin and it is about 10.37 °C. Hybrid system only reduces 5.5 °C and PCM systems reduces 4. 4°c.This different passive cooling techniques will reduce the induced thermal stress in the PV panel thereby increasing its overall lifespan.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Space design for connected place memory: a design framework for harnessing spatial context to support informal museum learning
Creators: name: Lin, Wi-kuan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: For museums, exhibitions are a principal conduit for delivering informal learning, yet published knowledge and opinion in the fields of exhibition design and museum studies include no substantial principles for the design and assessment of exhibition space beyond basic recommendations on viewing conditions and space provision. This thesis is principally concerned with the role of space in museum exhibitions. Space is the first layer of information visitors encounter on their journey through an exhibition. It is also the primary container for exhibition content and a key factor in visitor experience, the design of exhibition space no doubt exercising an influence over museum learning. Empirical research into exhibition space is limited to tracking visitor's movement and behaviour. It rarely considers visitor’s cognitive engagement with exhibition space, or how this might support or detract from museum visitors’ interaction with exhibition content. Drawing on aspects of constructivist educational theory, spatial intelligence studies and mnemonic loci learning, the thesis proposes a framework for understanding how design might develop connected place memory to support informal learning in museum exhibitions. An interdisciplinary weaving of theoretical sources, supported by interviews with working designers and detailed analyses of exhibition areas in three museums informs the discussion. The interviews indicate that exhibition designers have tacit understanding of the role of exhibition space in supporting visitors’ informal learning, but that they need knowledge‐based design frameworks to better understand and address the relationship between exhibition space and spatial learning. The thesis argues that the concept of connected place memory and its four integral elements - orientation, space cuing, organisation and staging - offer exhibition designers valuable criteria for planning the spatial characteristics of new exhibition areas and for evaluating and revising those of existing exhibition spaces. It contends that exhibition environments with vivid spatial characteristics make fewer demands on museum visitors in respect of spatial orientation and memory, allowing visitors to devote more of their attention to exhibition content. To exemplify the value of the design framework for creating connected place memory, the final section of the thesis uses 3D simulation to redesign three existing suites of exhibition spaces in three different museums. The framework provides a theoretical foundation for the design of exhibition space in support of visitors' learning experience and exhibitions' educative role. It may also contribute to the design of other interior environments where informal learning or vivid recall of the spatial environment and its contents is an aim.

description: This research examines the views of university students on the use of ChatGPT, a language model tool, when writing essays. Given the increasing infiltration of artificial intelligence within educational contexts, especially academic writing, the study seeks to assess the perceptions of ChatGPT usability regarding its benefits and opportunities. 500 undergraduate students from different departments were asked about their reflections on the use of the technology through the invention of a descriptive qualitative method. The major findings showed that students recognized the ability of ChatGPT to assist Polish grammar, correction of the structure, and generation of ideas, however, many voiced fears about excessive use of AI, issues of academic ethics, and loss of critical thinking skills. Thematic analysis revealed mixed feelings towards CAs, with students perceiving these as helpful for eliciting ideas and feedback, while also being careful not to rely too heavily on these resources as this may restrict their critical thinking. Therefore, the study calls for proper integration of AI in education – combined with a call for regulations that use new technologies to enhance, instead of replacing, proper learning and appreciation for good writing.

description: We review the construction and evolution of mathematical models of the Arabidopsis circadian clock, structuring the discussion into two distinct historical phases of modeling strategies: extension and reduction. The extension phase explores the bottom-up assembly of regulatory networks introducing as many components and interactions as possible in order to capture the oscillatory nature of the clock. The reduction phase deals with functional decomposition, distilling complex models to their essential dynamical repertoire. Current challenges in this field, including the integration of spatial considerations and environmental influences like light and temperature, are also discussed. The review emphasizes the ongoing need for models that balance molecular detail with practical simplicity.
Copper based bi-metallic tooling for high pressure die casting using direct metal deposition
Creators: name: Imran, Mohammad Khalid
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In high pressure die casting (HPDC) cooling time greatly affects the total cycle time. As thermal conductivity is the main governing factor, a higher thermal conductive die material allows faster extraction of heat from the casting, thus resulting in shorter cycle time and higher productivity. This thesis presents a novel approach to replace a conventional steel die by a bi-metallic die made of copper alloy in which the cavity surface is coated with a protective layer of tool steel using laser based additive manufacturing technology, Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) for high pressure die casting application. Results obtained from the finite element heat transfer analysis showed that bi-metallic die offered superior thermal performance compared with monolithic steel die. However, the main challenge lies in the deposition of tool steel on copper alloy due to the very different material properties of these two materials. Over the past decade, researchers have demonstrated interest in tribology and prototyping by the laser aided material deposition process. Laser aided DMD enables formation of a uniform clad by melting the powder onto a substrate material to form desired bimetallic component. Thus, the principal objective of this research is to investigate the feasibility of deposition of a protective tool steel layer on copper alloy substrate material to form bi-metallic structure using DMD technology for HPDC tooling. Heat transfer analysis, process and material characterization, tooling fabrication and industry evaluation have been investigated in this research to attain the stated aim. The following outcomes have been achieved from this thesis in order to develop an effective bi-metallic tooling for HPDC industries- Reduction of cycle time by employing bi-metallic die compared to that of tool steel for improvements to productivity of existing processes in HPDC; Establishment of feasibility of the application of DMD technique to deposit protective tool steel clad on completely different material i.e. copper alloy substrate; Investigation of microstructural characteristics of the DMD deposited tool steel clad on copper alloy substrate; Evaluation of mechanical properties namely, bond strength and fracture toughness of the bi-metallic structure; Analysis of thermal fatigue behaviour of the bi-metallic structure under conditions analogous to high pressure die casting environment; and Fabrication and performance evaluation of bi-metallic core pin in a semiindustrial high pressure die casting machine. The outcomes of this research offer innovative technologies based on leading edge research in laser based rapid tooling development for enhancing productivity and reducing lead time in die casting industry. This research has the potential to directly impact multi-million dollar die-casting industry through improved process efficiency, reduced cycle time and lower cost of component processing.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Messprinzip Photoplethysmography Imaging (PPGI) detailliert analysiert und auf dieser Basis ein System zur kontinuierlichen, kamerabasierten Remote-Messung der Herzfrequenz konzipiert. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Entwurf algorithmischer Ansätze, die eine robuste Erfassung auch in alltäglichen und hinsichtlich Artefakteinflüssen herausfordernden Szenarien ermöglichen. In diesem Zusammenhang werden zunächst das grundlegende Systemkonzept, eine als Entwicklungs- und Evaluationsbasis dienende Datenbank, sowie spezielle, auf die Artefaktkompensation ausgerichtete Algorithmen vorgestellt. Als Beispiel kann der Entwurf eines Multi-Patch-Algorithmus zur adaptiven Wahl geeigneter Subregionen innerhalb der gewählten Messregion Gesicht genannt werden. Zur Untersuchung der zentralen Fragestellung der Einsetzbarkeit und erzielbaren Genauigkeit in Alltagsszenarien wird das entworfene PPGI-System hinsichtlich der Anwendungsfälle „Belastungsmonitoring am Büroarbeitsplatz“ und "Fahrerbeobachtung im Automobil“ evaluiert. Während der Fokus im stationären Büro-Setting auf der Untersuchung der Machbarkeit einer PPGI-basierten Analyse der Herz- bzw. Pulsratenvariabilität (HRV/PRV) liegt, steht im mobilen Setting der Fahrerbeobachtung die Genauigkeit der Herzfrequenzschätzung unter starken Artefakteinflüssen im Vordergrund.

The relationships among psychiatric medications, eating behaviors, and weight
Creators: name: Davison, Karen M.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: To help address gaps in information about the links that exist between psychiatric medications and weight changes, an investigation of relationships among select psychotropic agents (i.e., mood stabilizers, antidepressants, and second-generation antipsychotics {SGAs}), eating behaviors, and weight was conducted. Data from a cross-sectional study of food habits in 97 individuals with mood disorders was used. Variables measured included use of psychotropic agents, measures of cognitive dietary restraint and disinhibition from the Three Factor Eating Behavior Questionnaire (TFEQ), psychiatric functioning, reported weight gain and measured BMI. The TFEQ measures were compared to population norms. Bivariate and multivariate analyses examined the relationships among the psychotropic agents, eating behaviors, and weight. Indicators of cognitive dietary restraint and disinhibition were higher than population norms (p'sb0.05 to 0.0001). Depression was associated with restraint (rho=0.21, pb0.05). BMI was associated with disinhibition (pb0.05); antidepressant use appeared tomoderate weight for those taking SGAs and mood stabilizers (pb0.05). Exploration of the interacting mechanisms of psychotropic agents and attention to eating attitudes and behaviors of individuals taking psychiatric medications might lessen pharmaceutical-induced weight gain. Prospective research on large samples that can make comparisons to those who are untreated is needed.

description: Excerpt from the Foreword: This bibliography was designed to meet a special need which arose through the designation by Secretary Wallace of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics as the agency to perform the research work in connection with the administration of Section 201 of Title II of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, relating to transportation. Although the interest of workers in the Bureau of Agricultural Economics lies mainly in the transportation of agricultural commodities, material relating to certain phases of transportation in general and to the agencies of transportation have been included. Because of the large volume of material, the bibliography has been divided into two parts. Part I contains references relating to the transportation of agricultural commodities, and in addition references relating to transportation in general and to certain of its phases – competition between carriers, coordination of transport facilities, containers, freight rates, and State and Federal regulation of transport facilities. The references relating to agricultural commodities are classified according to commodity.

description: Problems, solutions, and design itself have been framed as spaces in design research. Visualising the design space and how designers explore it, can give insight into the design process. This paper reports on a novel method for creating Design Space Visualisations (DS-Viz) that generates 2D and 3D representations of design spaces. We show how DS-Viz can be used to investigate designer behaviour, design processes and outcomes using a game-based design activity as an example. We discuss DS-Viz implications for design research highlighting potential benefits to design education and practice.

description: Skills shortages in road maintenance is a rising problem brought by aging networks in the UK. The exploitation of digital approaches for road infrastructure has the potential to make maintenance management more efficient and ease the skills shortage problem. However, such exploitation is only possible if methods exist to transfer data and information collected into knowledge and take advantages of it. This paper investigates the state of the art in utilizing Digital Twins and knowledge graph technologies and discusses their potential usefulness in solving the road maintenance skills shortage problem. Limitations of applying them in this field are also identified and highlighted.

description: This thesis addresses emerging ICT-based stability risks for cyber-physical energy systems (CPESs) in light of the increasingly complex task of coordinating modern generation and consumption assets in power grids. It does so by identifying cyber-physical services as the main drivers of interdependence first. It then provides a general approach on how to assess such a service's dependence on data in general and its sensitivity towards the high-level ICT error categories "latency", "data loss" and "data corruption" in particular. Based on these results, the service states "normal", "limited", and "failed" are introduced in order to summarise the findings in an abstract and more widely applicable as well as comparable manner. These aggregated service states are required as additional inputs for the main method which determines how disturbances propagate through modern CPESs. This method is first presented with a focus on static stability and is later extended to also incorporate dynamic stability phenomena. The resulting disturbance propagation, combined with the service states and the ENTSO-E state description for power systems, can be used to derive a summarising state trajectory which helps compare different CPES layouts and control designs concerning their stability.
description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit neuartigen, IKT-basierten Stabilitätsrisiken für cyber-physikalische Energiesysteme (CPES) vor dem Hintergrund zunehmend komplexer Koordination neuartiger Verbraucher und Erzeugungsanlagen in modernen Energiesystemen. Dazu werden zunächst IKT-basierte Dienste als Haupttreiber wechselseitiger Abhängigkeiten zwischen der Energie- und IKT-Domäne im CPES identifiziert. Anschließend wird ein Ansatz zur Bewertung der Datenabhängigkeit solcher Dienste im Allgemeinen sowie ihrer Empfindlichkeit gegenüber erhöhter Kommunikationslatenz, Datenverlust und Datenkorruption im Speziellen vorgestellt. Basierend auf diesen Ergebnisse werden drei Betriebszustände für Dienste eingeführt. Diese lauten "normal", "eingeschränkt" und "fehlerhaft" und dienen der Abstraktion und Vergleichbarkeit der IKT-Abhängigkeit verschiedener Dienste. Im Anschluss wird eine Methode vorgestellt, die der Bestimmung der Ausbreitung von Störungen innerhalb des CPES dient. Die Methode wird zunächst mit einem Fokus auf statischer Stabilität erläutert und anschließend so erweitert, dass auch dynamische Stabilitätsphänomene berücksichtigt werden können. Die sich daraus ergebende Ausbreitung von Störungen kann in Verbindung mit den Betriebszuständen und der ENTSO-E-Zustandsbeschreibung für Stromversorgungssysteme zur Ableitung eines zusammenfassenden Zustandsverlaufs verwendet werden. Mit den so ermittelten Zustandsverläufen wird wiederum ein qualitativer Stabilitätsvergleich verschiedener CPES-Layouts und Regelungskonzepte ermöglicht.

description: Effects of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) on central nervous system function include an increased prevalence of mental health problems, including substance use disorders (SUD). The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and dopamine systems have overlapping neurocircuitries and are both implicated in SUD. PAE alters both HPA and dopaminergic activity and regulation, resulting in increased HPA tone and an overall reduction in tonic dopamine activity. However, effects of PAE on the interaction between HPA and dopamine (DA) systems have not been investigated. The present study examined PAE effects on basal regulation of central stress and dopamine systems in key brain regions where these systems intersect. Adult Sprague-Dawley male and female offspring from prenatal alcohol-exposed (PAE), pairfed (PF), and ad libitumfed control (C) groups were subjected to chronic variable stress (CVS) or remained as a no stress (non-CVS) control group. Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) mRNA, as well as glucocorticoid and DA receptor (DA-R) expression were measured under basal conditions 24 hours following the end of CVS. We show, for the first time, that regulation of basal HPA and DA systems, and likely, HPA-DA interactions, are altered differentially in males and females by PAE and CVS. PAE augmented the typical attenuation in weight gain during CVS in males and caused increased weight loss in females. Increased basal corticosterone levels in control, but not PAE, females suggest that PAE alters the profile of basal hormone secretion throughout CVS. CVS downregulated basal CRH mRNA in the prefrontal cortex and throughout the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in PAE females but only in the posterior BNST of control females. PAE males and females exposed to CVS exhibited more widespread upregulation of basal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) mRNA throughout the hippocampus, and an attenuated decrease in DA-R expression throughout the nucleus accumbens and striatum compared to CVS-exposed control males and females. Overall, these findings enhance our understanding of PAE effects on the cross-talk between HPA and DA systems, and provide insight into possible mechanisms underlying mental health problems that are related to stress and DA signaling, including SUD, which have a high prevalence among individuals with FASD.

description: INSTRUCTION / POEM is a creative work in two parts. The first part of the work is a brief text printed on an index card (which was distributed to all delegates at the 18th annual AAWP Conference along with the conference program and related materials). Within the context of the creative work as a whole, the text printed on the card is presented as the work of the fictional artist ‘Paul Allen’, although it is signed only with the initials, ‘P.A.’. The second part of the creative work is a brief fiction that takes the form of ‘speaking notes’ addressing a conference paper by an emerging visual art curator, ‘Patrick Alexander’. This second text provides an account of aspects of the work of Paul Allen, with a focus on event scores and instructions. In this piece of writing, the speaker reflects on the process of curating a retrospective exhibition of the work of Paul Allen, and discusses the way in which various texts in the form of poems, event scores or instructions for art works, might be understood as central element within this artist’s practice. In contextualising Paul Allen’s work, the work also provides a brief introduction to this sub-genre of art writing, and its place in the history of art practice and exhibition making since the 1960s.

description: This article critically investigates recent water governance shifts, particularly constitutional changes implemented in several Latin American countries that highlight a ‘right to water’ as well as recent efforts that invoke such a right in conjunction with bans on private water provision (e.g. Uruguay, Ecuador, and Bolivia). Drawing on legal research, document review, and interviews, the article investigates the historical, political and discursive scaffolding of these constitutional changes in several case study contexts, including attention to implementation issues and ongoing challenges following the reforms. Placing these shifts within the broader context of neoliberalization of water governance of the past several decades, the analysis attends to both the specific historical–contextual formations that are important to understand the constitutional reforms, as well as the ways these changes might be usefully understood as connected to broader political and discursive shifts and movements. Highlighting similarities and differences across the cases allows us to make conceptual contributions to debates on variegation of neoliberalized natures, as well as to discussions of alternatives to neoliberalism and postneoliberalism. We argue that although many of these reforms are partial, and not wholly resistant to neoliberalism, they are nonetheless significant for politics and debates related to ‘alternatives.’ Apart from resisting particular aspects of earlier neoliberal reforms, they are also important to stake new discursive and policy terrain on alternative priorities and uses of water. Further, the reforms also offer points of resistance to the influence of international financial institutions, or of transnational corporations.

Cloning, expression and characterization of aquaporins from wheat in insect cells using a baculovirus expression system
Creators: name: Vaduganathan, Rajeswari

description: Aquaporins are water transport proteins that possess important roles in plantwater relationship. The allopolyploid nature of wheat makes this staple cereal crop more difficult to sequence and understand the diversity of aquaporin proteins. Most of the aquaporins in rice, Arabidopsis and maize shows tissue specific expression. This study aimed to identify, express and characterize root specific aquaporin proteins of wheat and investigate their specific functions. Two full length cDNAs of root specific aquaporins from common wheat (T.aestivum L. cv. Cranbrook) Triticum aestivum were isolated. The newly isolated sequences were identified as a PIP2 and PIP1 aquaporin family members by comparison with the Rice and existing wheat aquaporin genes in the database. Additionally one possible non-functional (alternate spliced) PIP2 aquaporin was isolated. This study found that the PIP2 gene was highly expressed at the early seedling stage (8 day old plant) of the plants than at the heading and flowering stage. This correlates with the higher water demand for the growing plant at early stages. In this study the insect cell/baculovirus system was used to express the identified full length PIP1 and PIP2 genes. The functional analysis of the wheat and human AQP proteins was performed by subjecting the whole insect cell to hypo-osmotic conditions and the size of the whole insect cell was measured using ImageJ software. Results indicate that the water treatment for the infected and uninfected insect cells was unsuccessful because of the technological problems and time constraints. Further glcerol transport and mercry sensitive aquaporins can be tested using the proposed method. This will be the first plant aquaporin expressed in the baculovirus system to demonstrate water transport activity and substrate specificity.

Justice, equity, and biodiversity. The Encyclopedia of Biodiversity. S. A. Levin. Oxford, Elsevier Ltd: 434-441; isbn-9780123847195. The struggle to sustain biodiversity is a struggle for the just and equitable treatment of others, including not only existing people but also future generations and nonhuman organisms. But in the urgency to protect biodiversity, the interests of local people have often been transgressed. To guard against these human injustices while advancing the goals of conservation, we need a coherent and shared understanding of these competing demands of justice. We work toward such an understanding by discussing the benefits of conservation—especially to future people; the fair treatment of nonhuman organisms; and the human consequences of conservation.

How Can Nigeria Achieve Universal Access to Electricity by 2040
Creators: name: Osele, Eziagbor
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This presentation constitutes the outcome of a three-weeks capacity building activity on GEP-OnSSET as part of the 2024 Energy Modelling Platform - Global workshop. The authors collected input data, set parameters, calibrated the model, and run electrification investment scenarios for Nigeria in order to explore pathways leading to the achievement of electrification targets. The results of this analysis are not conclusive, but rather the output of experimentation with the model and thus only indicative. You may contact the author for more information and/or questions about the methodology, limitations, and follow-up activities of this study.
Rethinking the human right to water: Water access and dispossession in Botswana’s Central Kalahari Game Reserve
Creators: name: Morinville, Cynthia

Publisher: name: Geoforum
Year: 2013

description: This paper engages debates regarding the human right to water through an exploration the recent legal battle between San and Bakgalagadi and the government of Botswana regarding access to water in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The paper reviews the legal events that led to the realization of the human right to water through a decision of the Court of Appeal of Botswana in 2011 and the discursive context in which these events took place. We offer a contextual evaluation of the processes that allowed the actual realization of the human right to water for the residents of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, revisiting and extending dominant lines of inquiry related to the human right to water in policy and academic debates. Adding to these discussions, we suggest the use of ‘dispossession’ as an analytical lens is a useful starting point for a conceptual reframing of the human right to water. Doing so helps to expose some of the problems with the public/private binary, often at the centre of these debates, allowing for greater nuance regarding the potential of the human right to water in different contexts.

INCULTUM wheel for Sustainable Tourism
Creators: name: BIBRACTE EPCC
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The conceptual model developed as part of INCULTUM meets the iterative requirement expressed by the innovation helix models: one turn of the wheel strengthens the involvement, skills and contribution of the stakeholders, which, in a virtuous process, enables the next turn to be approached with more favourable initial conditions.Each turn of the wheel involves a logical sequence of four stages, each of which responds to a specific strategic objective:

•stage 1: reveal the common ground and build the community

•stage 2: organise the management of the common ground and develop the community

•stage 3: building the tourism offer

•stage 4: marketing the tourism offerEach stage can itself be divided into two operational sub-objectives.

The pilot projects were committed to testing actions that contribute to these sub- objectives. These actions are listed at the periphery of the wheel in the logical order in which they are to be implemented, together with the tools and skills that underpin them. These actions have a more or less marked experimental character, and it is rather through their concerted and coordinated mobilisation that an innovative approach to the management of a tourist destination is expressed.
