Law as a regulator: steering waste management by steering itself through its relationship with the environment

description: Since 1995, the member states of the European Union (E.U.) have been legally obliged to reduce biodegradable municipal waste, with a final target of 35% of 1995 levels by 2020 and, in doing so, increase the recycling rate to 50%. In 2015, the E.U. has agreed to aim for a recycling rate of 65% by 2030. For the E.U, and the United Kingdom, the achievement of these targets form part of the policies of the waste hierarchy, the zero waste economy and the circular economy. While it is recognised in the literature that there is a link between these concepts, it is not clear how they are connected and how they can be exploited to change human behaviour. The aim of this thesis is to develop a conceptualisation, using Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory, of the relationship between the waste hierarchy, the zero waste economy and circular economy in terms of the social factors – law, economics, politics, etc. ‐ that influence behaviour. The proposed conceptualisation moves away from the notion of waste as a material substance discarded by human beings into the environment; instead, waste is a shared understanding of the transfer of material substances between human beings. Thus, in my reading of Luhmann’s theory, waste is the unusable by‐product of systems and it can only be made usable by external reference to other systems in the social environment. Therefore, my thesis is that the legal system steers the waste management process by steering itself through its relationship with the environment, with steering mediated by organisations, such as households, courts, government departments, local authorities and businesses. Through an encounter between Luhmann’s theory and Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler’s libertarian paternalism or nudge theory, I argue that organisational decision‐making creates the context or, in Sunstein and Thaler’s words, choice architecture that nudges human beings towards certain behaviour. In turn, it is the choices made by human beings that influence organisational decision‐making. My thesis is demonstrated using the following minicase studies: (a) the development of international environmental law principles; (b)the definition of “discarding” by the European Court of Justice as distinct from the ordinary understanding of discarding; (c) the provision of household waste collection services in England; and (d) the creation of food waste by retailers and the legal jurisdiction of bin‐diving in the context of freeganism.
title: Bible and theology at work : the creative energy of Dorothy L. Sayers' 'The man born to be king'
Creators: name: Wehr, Kathryn Hannah
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2017

description: This study centres on the biblical and theological work behind Dorothy L. Sayers’ 12-part play-cycle, The Man Born to be King, aired on the BBC between 1941-42. Investigation begins by testing various unsubstantiated statements by biographers and scholars through a line-by-line analysis of the scripts, the results of which can be found in two large tables of information about how Sayers used each pericope in the Gospels (Appendix A) and a list of every known biblical reference within the play-cycle (Appendix C). Sayers’ reported privileging of the Gospel of John gives way to evidence that Synoptic content outweighs Johannine by sheer bulk of material while preference is clearly given to stories that appear in both John and the Synoptics. Sayers’ reported avoidance of the Authorized Version gives way to limited but consistent use of the AV for the narrator, for Old Testament quotations, and a special use of the Coverdale Psalms from the Book of Common Prayer. A study of Sayers’ six secondary sources shows significant influence upon historic details and characterisation. By covering new ground through in-depth script and source analysis, these studies reveal, expand upon, and often contradict previous assumptions regarding Sayers’ sources and working process. In the area of theological studies, investigation begins with Sayers’ own claim that she had no original theology—that she merely re-stated the Church’s teaching. First, Sayers’ identity as an Anglo-Catholic is explored to understand what she means by ‘Catholic’ and ‘the Church’. Having thus located Sayers within a particular tradition, Sayers’ Christology (building upon her emphasis on the Creed) and Eschatology (building upon her chosen theme of the Kingship of Christ) within the plays are considered within their broader context of early twentieth-century Anglo-Catholic and wider theology. Sayers’ theological originality is then proposed in relation to how she brought theology to life in dramatic form.
The Poisson Boltzmann equation and the charge separation phenomenon at the silica-water interface: A holistic approach

description: The Poisson Boltzmann equation is known for its success in describing the Debye layer that arises from the charge separation phenomenon at the silica/water interface. However, by treating only the mobile ionic charges in the liquid, the Poisson Boltzmann equation accounts for only half of the electrical double layer, with the other half, the surface charge layer, being beyond its computational domain. In this work, we take a holistic approach to the charge separation phenomenon at the silica/water interface by treating, within a single computational domain, the electrical double layer that comprises both the mobile ions in the liquid and the surface charge density. The Poisson Nernst Planck equations are used as the rigorous basis for our methodology. The holistic approach has the advantage of being able to predict surface charge variations that arise either from the addition of salt and acid to the liquid, or from the decrease of the liquid channel width to below twice the Debye length. As the electrical double layer must be overall neutral, we use this constraint to derive both the form of the static limit of the Poisson Nernst Planck equations, as well as a global chemical potential that replaces the classical zeta potential as the boundary value for the PB equation, which can be re-derived from our formalism. We present several predictions of our theory that are beyond the framework of the PB equation alone, e.g., the surface capacitance and the so-called pK and pL values, the isoelectronic point at which the surface charge layer is neutralized, and the appearance of a Donnan potential that arises from the formation of an electrical double layer at the inlet regions of a nano-channel connected to the bulk reservoir. All theory predictions are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental observations.

description: The Defence and Security sector within Her Majesty’s Government (and beyond) undertakes significant development programmes that augment the Critical National Infrastructure. The Critical National Infrastructure is a collective term for those facilities, systems, sites, information, people, networks and processes, necessary for a country to function and upon which daily life depends (CPNI, 2019). Significant programme issues have been observed repeatedly within the study context – perhaps not surprising given the complex adaptive system in which it exists. Upon being commissioned by the organisation to explore and develop an intervention to reduce failures/enhance programme success, the notion of novelty emerged. It is this novelty across systems in the study context that is explored in this thesis taking the form of a Participatory Action Research Project, this thesis reviews the key literature and develops a multi-disciplinary Conceptual Framework—Countering Systemic Novelty (CSN). CSN incorporates across four theoretical areas: (1) The nature of Complex Adaptive Systems; (2) the notion of Novelty as an emergent phenomenon; (3) Understanding the Context, (4) and the level of System Response. The thesis then explores whether CSN can augment the overall capability of the system to respond to the emergence of Novelty and propose a mechanism for the delivery of the intervention into this system. The investigation is guided theoretically by both holism and pragmatism; it sits within a philosophy that sees actors as being part of the system and is takes a constructivist perspective to the research. Both the encompassing philosophy and the research are supported by the key principles of coevolution’ and ‘Requisite Variety’ that run throughout the evolution of this Practitioner Project. The research is based on a multi-round study, using the Delphi Technique, which examined the ‘Validity and Applicability’ of CSN with a senior expert panel drawn from the operational context, specifically programme and risk management. The results of the study were assessed using two ‘Thesis indicators’ and found the expert panel agreed that CSN was both valid and applicable. For Validity TI-1 Agreement Tendency achieved 91% and TI-2 Degree of Consensus achieved 86%. For Applicability, TI-1 Agreement Tendency achieved 92% and TI- 2 Degree of Consensus achieved 79%. The study confirms that CSN is a valid and applicable approach to help counter emergent Novelty in the defence and security sector and, as a result, system capability would improve following its adoption. It also confirms that CSN can be used to inform differing interventions, including discrete development programmes; as additions to existing programmes or as targeted intervention in the event of emergent threat.
Transnationalism and migration: the concept of home in post-communist Albanian diasporas

description: This practice-based research aims to present the concept of home in post-Communist Albanian diasporas, particularly focussing on linking home to particular places, multiple homes, loss of home, how an old home transfers to a new home and the creation of a new home, as well as how such concepts can be represented in a body of creative practice. The research introduces the historical causes of Albanian migration, especially highlighting migration after the fall of Communism in order to understand in depth the causes of the most dramatic mass migration in modern Albanian history. The context of Albanian art is also considered: first through Socialist Realist art, which was widely practiced during the Communist regime, and played a significant role in transforming the concept of home and Albanian identity. Secondly, through contemporary art after the fall of Communism, where I focus on some artists whose work is relevant to my subject matter. Interviews have been conducted to investigate the ways in which these Albanian contemporary artists have dealt with the concept of home. Transnationalism is discussed and analysed from the perspective of contemporary Albanian migration in terms of the political, economic and socio-cultural aspects. Furthermore, theorising the concept of home has led to a focus in my practical work on the physical space, social relationships and positive emotional attachments. My art practice takes the form of a series of oil paintings which are a reaction to and build upon this theoretical and practical basis. The paintings are described and analysed as research outputs considering how technical aspects such as shape, size, composition, and colour are used and experimented with to investigate transnationalism and the concept of home. Following discussion of exhibitions of the body of work, it is concluded that art practice is a suitable medium to respond to and open debate on such turbulent personal and emotional contemporary issues.
An evaluation of a specialist service model for treating Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD): application of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence Guidelines for BDD (NICE, 2006).

description: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is still poorly recognised with a dearth of research into treatment. This is the only known study to date to evaluate the implementation of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommended treatment for BDD in clinical practice as well as providing qualitative data of both patients and clinicians (NICE, 2006). The study aims to evaluate current recommended treatments for Body Dysmorphic Disorder utilised in a specialist service for BDD. In addition the study elicits the experiences of patients receiving treatment and the clinicians providing the treatment. This provides a basis to assess if refinements are to be made to treatment protocols for BDD in this specialist service. A mixed methods approach was employed with quantitative data from patients treated for BDD collated from the Trust’s database and examined with intention to treat analysis. Thematic Analysis (TA) was used to analyse data from semi-structured interviews conducted with clinical staff and patients to elicit their experiences of respectively providing and receiving treatment. The clinical data indicated impairment in patients’ functioning plus high risks and substance misuse. Treatment outcomes of NICE recommended CBT and medication (Selective Serotonergic Reuptake Inhibitors and augmentation) produced significant improvements in BDD symptoms in patients with severe symptoms at baseline. Patients also showed significant improvements in depression and overall functioning. However despite improvements symptoms were not completely eliminated and one group treated by the service (Level 6 outpatients) showed minimal to no improvement on all symptom measures. Both clinician and patient participants expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of sufficient knowledge and expertise for treating BDD. Both groups also placed high value on the therapeutic relationship. However clinicians interviewed indicated a higher dissatisfaction with current treatment options for BDD than patients. The experiences of patients provided a different perspective to the findings in the quantitative phase. Their view of improvements was based on their functioning and overall quality of life. Clinicians’ perspectives provided insight into other options for treatment which are lacking and could provide substantial support for current recommendations. Given the evidence base for recommended treatments is still limited, it is essential to include qualitative data in evaluating effectiveness of treatment and in developing services that respond to patient needs and choice.

description: Halogen bonds to dialkyl ether molecules have remained largely unexplored. We here address the synthesis and the structural chemistry of the first halogen-bonded noncyclic alkyl ethers, combining 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene and the prototypic or commonly used ethers dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and methyl-tert-butyl ether as halogen acceptors. Two different structural motifs based on moderately strong halogen bonds were obtained: Discrete trimolecular aggregates are formed, and unexpected halogen-bonded supramolecular chain adducts feature oxygen-bifurcated halogen bonds with 1:1 donor:acceptor ratio. Both structure types may be selectively obtained even for the same ether by adjusting the stoichiometry in the crystallization experiments. The geometric features of the etheric oxygen center were found to be flexible, in contrast to the almost linear geometry about the halogen donor atom. A high-resolution X-ray diffraction experiment on the extended adduct of dimethyl ether allowed us to study the electronic details of the acceptor-bifurcated I···O···I halogen bonds. The electron density in the bond critical points and derived properties such as the Laplacian indicate essentially electrostatic interactions and explain the geometrical flexibility of ethers in halogen bonds. Our studies demonstrate the great versatility of ethers as halogen bond acceptors, that can occur in many geometrical arrangements and whose contribution to nature’s structural designs should not be underestimated.

description: We study a region in the NMSSM parameter space in which the mass of the SM-like Higgs boson is uplifted by ~4-17 GeV, allowing for stop masses and |A_t| <= 1 TeV alleviating the little fine tuning problem of the MSSM. An uplift of the mass of the SM-like Higgs boson is possible in two distinct regions in the NMSSM parameter space: Either for large lambda and small tan(beta) or, through singlet-doublet mixing, for small lambda and large tan(beta). For a mostly singlet-like Higgs state H_S with a mass below 125 GeV we investigate possible direct or indirect search channels at the run II of the LHC as function of the NMSSM-specific uplift of the mass of the SM-like Higgs boson: Direct production of H_S in gluon fusion with H_S decaying into diphotons, modified reduced couplings of the SM-like Higgs state, and the possible production of H_S in ggF -> A -> Z + H_S. We find that the region featuring singlet-doublet mixing can be tested if searches at the LHC at 13 TeV for BSM Higgs bosons in the mass range 88 - 102 GeV decaying into diphotons become sensitive to signal cross sections sigma(gg -> H_S -> diphotons) ~ 20 fb, or if measurements of the reduced coupling kappa_V(H_{SM}) of the SM Higgs boson to electroweak gauge boson exclude (or confirm) the region kappa_V(H_{SM})

description: We identify two distinct physical mechanisms for dust gap opening by embedded planets in protoplanetary discs based on the symmetry of the drag-induced motion around the planet: I) A mechanism where low mass planets, that do not disturb the gas, open gaps in dust by tidal torques assisted by drag in the inner disc, but resisted by drag in the outer disc; and II) The usual, drag assisted, mechanism where higher mass planets create pressure maxima in the gas disc which the drag torque then acts to evacuate further in the dust. The first mechanism produces gaps in dust but not gas, while the second produces partial or total gas gaps which are deeper in the dust phase. Dust gaps do not necessarily indicate gas gaps.

description: Spondyloarthritis is a chronic rheumatic disease affecting the joints, mainly the axial joints, leading to ankylosis. It is associated with an extra-articular or systemic affection, particularly the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, leading to deconditioning syndrome. The benefits of physical activity in chronic inflammatory rheumatism are well known, but the practice remains low due to patients' fears and beliefs. Integrating adapted physical activity into the management of spondyloarthritis enables better management of the disease and its comorbidities. Its prescription must be personalized and always preceded by an overall assessment of the patient, to identify contraindications and obstacles, and enable monitoring of the patient's progress.

Nationalism and internationalism in selected Indian English novels: 1909 – 1930
Creators: name: Banerjee, Tanmayee
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2014

description: The thesis aims at analyzing the ideas of Indian nationalism and Indian identity as constructed and disseminated through four Indian English novels published between 1909 and 1930. The novels to be dealt with in this thesis were authored and published during two of the very important phases in the history of Indian nationalist movement – the Swadeshi Movement (1903-1908) and the Non Co-operation Movement of the 1920s. Thus, this thesis will prove how Indian English novels published before 1930, the majority of which have not been studied with proper attention, bear prominent impressions of the idea of Indian nationalism which was developing coterminously with the publication of these novels. It will show how the novels published in two different phases of the Indian nationalist movement bear similar and dissimilar impressions of the developing imagination of India as a nation. Secondly, this thesis aims at establishing the unique aspect of Indian nationalism that the authors emphasize through their narratives, that is, the idea of internationalist nationalism. The authors believed in an idea of nationalism in which loyalty to one’s own nation does not entail the disavowal or denigration of the interests of other nations. Thus their idea of nationalism, as professed through their works, contained the implication of a humanistic internationalism. Though some of these novels have been mentioned in previous researches, detailed analytical study of the works from the perspective of nationalism and internationalism has not been attempted till date. Whatever might be the reasons behind their slipping into oblivion, there would remain an immense void if this phase of evolution in Indian English literature is neglected.

description: A novel radially local approximation of the drift kinetic equation is presented. The new drift kinetic equation that includes both ${\bf E} \times {\bf B}$ and tangential magnetic drift terms is written in the conservative form and it has favorable properties for numerical simulation that any additional terms for particle and energy sources are unnecessary for obtaining stationary solutions under the radially local approximation. These solutions satisfy the intrinsic ambipolarity condition for neoclassical particle fluxes in the presence of quasisymmetry of the magnetic field strength. Also, another radially local drift kinetic equation is presented, from which the positive definiteness of entropy production due to neoclassical transport and Onsager symmetry of neoclassical transport coefficients are derived while it sacrifices the ambipolarity condition for neoclassical particle fluxes in axisymmetric and quasi-symmetric systems.

Furthermore, we obtain that $(A^{\natural}_{\diamond} H,\aø\b)$ is a Radford biproduct Hom-Hopf algebra if and only if $(A,\a)$ is a Hopf algebra in the category $_H^H{\mathbb{YD}}$. At last, some examples and applications are given.

description: We examine theoretically porous membranes in aqueous mixtures. We show that large membrane pores can be reversibly gated from `off' (co-solvent-rich, poor conductor of ions and other solutes) to 'on' (water-rich, good conductor) states by an external potential. The transition voltage or charge for switching depends on the membrane hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, the salt content, the preferential solvation of the salt ions, and the temperature. These parameters also determine whether the filling transition is abrupt or gradual.

description: The dairy sector of New Zealand is the largest earner of export revenue for Aotearoa New Zealand, and a substantial proportion of pastoral land is used for dairy production. Farm profitability and productivity is positively correlated with pasture harvest, and yet the most recent evidence suggests that pasture harvest has not improved over the past decade and a half. This lack of progress could be attributed to some combination of limited improvements in managerial ability, limited improvements in pasture genetics, and the challenges presented by climate change. Advances in the ability to capture, process and analyse relevant spatial and farm data at scale should theoretically be able to provide insight on the relative contribution of these causes, inform farmers on how to improve their management, and provide phenotypic data on how various pasture species and mixes perform under actual farm conditions. Yet this opportunity has not been captured. Why? Is it a failure of funders, research organisations, scientists, disciplinary silos, commercial organisations, lack of data interoperability, permissions, farmer willingness to pay or is it indeed too hard to capture the opportunity – or does no opportunity actually exist?
The slow expansion with nonminimal derivative coupling and its conformal dual

description: We show that the primordial gravitational wave with scale-invariant spectrum might emerge from a nearly Minkowski space, in which the gravity is asymptotic-past free. We illustrate it with a model, in which the derivative of background scalar field nonminimally couples to gravity. We also show that since here the tensor perturbation is dominated by its growing mode, mathematically our slowly expanding background is conformally dual to the matter contraction, but there is no the anisotropy problem.

description: In this paper, we study a hyperbolic relaxation of the viscous Cahn--Hilliard system with zero Neumann boundary conditions. In fact, we consider a relaxation term involving the second time derivative of the chemical potential in the first equation of the system. We develop a well-posedness, continuous dependence and regularity theory for the initial-boundary value problem. Moreover, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the system as the relaxation parameter tends to 0 and prove the convergence to the viscous Cahn--Hilliard system.

description: We have developed terahertz frequency quantum cascade lasers that exploit a double-periodicity distributed feedback grating to control the emission frequency and the output beam direction independently. The spatial refractive index modulation of the gratings necessary to provide optical feedback at a fixed frequency and, simultaneously, a far-field emission pattern centered at controlled angles, was designed through use of an appropriate wavevector scattering model. Single mode THz emission at angles tuned by design between 0° and 50° was realized, leading to an original phase-matching approach, lithographically independent, for highly collimated THz QCLs.

description: Urban green spaces (UGS) provide important contributions to people and especially their wellbeing in times of crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, UGS planning requires better understanding of by whom and where such contributions are being valued or missed. Based on geospatial mixed-methods survey data from about 1000 Wellington residents, I analyse where, how much and why residents value UGS. I specifically explore how residents’ preferences and stated satisfaction vary spatially and by socio-economic background. GIS analysis is applied to map and characterize respondent’s residential locations, and descriptive statistics and (logistic) regressions are performed to explore spatial and socio-economic drivers. Results suggest that local UGS are an important residential choice criterion for most respondents, especially in the context of Wellington's intensification plans and current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the study shows that socio-economic and spatial factors significantly impact whether someone values and is satisfied with UGS in proximity to their place of residence. Findings call for careful scoping of a city's population and spatial structure when planning for equitable UGS provision, for which spatially-explicit survey data provides an important basis for analysis and policy design.
A 750 GeV Messenger of Dark Conformal Symmetry Breaking

description: The tentative hints for a diphoton resonance at a mass of $\sim 750$ GeV from the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC may be interpreted as first contact with a "dark" sector with a spontaneously broken conformal symmetry. The implied TeV scale of the dark sector may be motivated by the interaction strength required to accommodate a viable thermal relic dark matter (DM) candidate. We model the conformal dynamics using a Randall-Sundrum type 5D geometry whose IR boundary is identified with the dynamics of the composite dark sector, while the Standard Model (SM) matter content resides on the UV boundary, corresponding to "elementary" fields. We allow the gauge fields to reside in the 5D bulk, which can be minimally chosen to be $SU(3)_c\times U(1)_Y$. The "dark" radion is identified as the putative 750 GeV resonance. Heavy vector-like fermions, often invoked to explain the diphoton excess, are not explicitly present in our model and are not predicted to appear in the spectrum of TeV scale states. Our minimal setup favors scalar DM of $\mathcal{O}(\text{TeV})$ mass. A generic expectation in this scenario, suggested by DM considerations, is the appearance of vector bosons at $\sim$ few TeV, corresponding to the gluon and hypercharge Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes that couple to UV boundary states with strengths that are suppressed uniformly compared to their SM values. Our analysis suggests that these KK modes could be within the reach of the LHC in the coming years.
