description: The International Accounting Standards require entities to report useful and accurate information, enabling shareholders and others to make informed investment decisions. This research investigates the array of factors that influence the investment decision-making of shareholders in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET).

The research employed a mixed research methodology that combines quantitative and a qualitative analysis to obtain empirical data on the factors that impact on Thai shareholders investing in large asset-based industries in the SET. Data were collected from shareholders who invested in 204 listed companies within three industries: namely, Resources; Industrials; and Property and Construction. The Department of Business Development (DBD) provided the list of shareholders. Multiple responses and cross tabulations were used to analyse the survey data to determine the association between seven variables (factors) that influenced the decision-making of shareholders. Furthermore, the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney Tests were used to analyse the possible influence of age, gender, and education on the investment decisions of the Thai shareholders.

The quantitative survey, involved 121 respondents which represented 28.81 per cent of the possible informants who received the survey through the post. The qualitative interviews were conducted with ten randomly-selected shareholders from lists of shareholders of specific large asset-based industries in Thailand, as provided by the Department of Business Development (DBD). Interview findings were used in the present study to substantiate the questionnaire in term of its question and findings.

The findings show that the sources of information that shareholders rated as most important when making investment decisions ranked as follows. Financial statements, both income statements and balance sheets were number on; relevance and reliability of accounting information ranked second; the reputation of audit firms and managing directors followed; and then financial/investment opinions from stockbrokers, financial advisors and the media; and financial reports prepared in accordance with the impairment of assets standard (IAS 36).

The results of this study contribute towards achieving a greater understanding of individual Thai shareholders’ use of accounting information in company financial statements when making their investment decisions in the Stock Exchange of Thailand.

This research makes a unique contribution through gauging the importance that Thai investors place on certain sources and forms of information when buying, selling, and holding in their share-trading decision processes. The research adds to the extant body of knowledge in two key ways. Firstly, the decision-making processes of Thai shareholders have not been researched previously. Secondly, a major finding of this research was the importance which the majority of investors placed on the Impairment of Assets Standard.
title: Das "Theater Wegajty" auf den Spuren Grotowskis
Creators: name: Tiefenbacher, Sara
Year: 2010

description: Anlässlich des 10. Jahrestages des Todes von Jerzy Grotowski, eines der größten Theaterreformer Europas des 20. Jahrhunderts, ist mit Unterstützung der Unesco 2009 zum „Jerzy Grotowski-Jahr“ ausgerufen worden. In zahlreichen Vorträgen, Präsentationen und Theaterspektakeln ist dieses herausragenden polnischen Theaterregisseurs gedacht worden, der im In- wie im Ausland vielfältige Spuren hinterlassen und dessen Bedeutung für das Arbeitsfeld Theater ein beachtliches Ausmaß erreicht hat. Wieviel von seinen Ansätzen, Werten und Zielen im alternativen Theater Polens der Gegenwart noch existiert, diese Frage ist im Zuge der Feierlichkeiten zum Gedenkjahr aufgeworfen und zum Anlass genommen worden, Status und Präsenz der Person Grotowski in der aktuellen alternativen Theaterszene Polens neu zu belichten. Diese Diplomarbeit knüpft genau hier an und untersucht, in welchem Ausmaß J. Grotowskis Wirken das alternative Theater Polens beeinflusst hat. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei das ermländische „Theater Węgajty“. Inwieweit sich dieses Theater auf den Spuren J. Grotowskis bewegt, ja wo überall genau sein Einfluss in der Theaterpraxis von „Węgajty“ zu spüren ist, das bildet den Gegenstand der Untersuchung. Zu Beginn wird ein kurzer theatergeschichtlicher Einblick in die alternative Theaterszene Polens gegeben und auf die Existenz des „grotowskischen Zweiges“, der sich in der alternativen Theaterbewegung in Polen herauskristallisiert hat, hingewiesen. Das „Theater Węgajty“ ist dieser spezifischen Richtung zuzuordnen. Es gehört einer Strömung an, die gegen die Zeit schwimmt, sich auf das Land zurückzieht und den Kontakt zu Erde und Ursprung sucht. Die Dokumentation dieses im deutschsprachigen Raum nur marginal präsenten „Theaters Węgajty“ samt Darstellung seiner Arbeits- und Wirkungsweise erfolgt im Hauptteil der Arbeit. Den Kern bilden die deutlich gemachten Berührungspunkte zum Wirken J. Grotowskis. Wesentlich dabei sind Themen wie die Arbeit an traditionellen Festen, die Expedition und das Workshop-Programm. Über sie werden die „grotowskischen“ Spuren in diesem Theater freigelegt. Dabei zeigt sich, dass auch zehn Jahre nach J. Grotowskis Tod seine Ideen noch überaus lebendig sind.

description: This thesis begins by arguing that although we know that certain styles of leadership can contribute to the development of organizational commitment amongst employees, we do not know enough about how that happens. In particular, we do not know enough about the processes or mechanisms that mediate the relationship between leadership behaviours as antecedent conditions and the varying levels of, and types of, organizational commitment as outcomes. In addressing that lack of knowledge, the thesis establishes the central mediating role played by ways in which leadership can contribute to employee experiences of feeling self-determined which, in turn, contributes to satisfaction of three fundamental psychological needs: the need for autonomy, the need for competence, and the need for relatedness.

The thesis then goes on to conclude that understanding how leadership can contribute to organizational commitment requires understanding the importance of, and the processes of, not only self-determination but also self-definition. At the deepest level of the thesis, it will be shown that although self-determination and self-definition are certainly not identical aspects of the self, they are mutually reinforcing and each is an essential requirement of the other: self-determination involves and requires self-definition; just as self-definition involves and requires self-determination.

To reach that understanding of how leadership can contribute to organizational commitment, and to reach the deeper conclusion regarding the co-constitutive nature of self-determination and self-definition, two stages of empirical research and analysis are worked through. The first stage involves quantitative methodology and the second stage involves qualitative methodology. Those two approaches to conducting research produce findings that are meaningfully integrated in the concluding chapter of the thesis.

The author therefore contends that her work in this thesis contributes to and extends upon leadership theory and organizational commitment theory by identifying and articulating the processes which connect the two. In addition, the thesis makes a significant contribution to practice issues that confront organizational leaders and human resource management professionals by explaining the ways in which the author’s empirical findings and theory development could be used to guide decision making and behaviour.

Mitigating bubbles with intrinsic value nudging: an experimental approach

description: Stock market bubbles are known to cause economic and financial disruption. Previous research has explored factors contributing towards the formation of bubbles, however, the effectiveness of bubble mitigation strategies is under researched. I hypothesise that by employing a nudging technique, alerting respondents to deviations between trading prices and intrinsic value of the assets, trading prices will converge to intrinsic value, thus averting bubble formation. An experimental continuous double auction market is employed to test this hypothesis. I find that nudging impacts bubble formation characteristics: amplitude, normalised absolute deviation and turnover are reduced, and asset prices trade closer to their intrinsic values. These results demonstrate that deviations from intrinsic values can be attributed to individual choices, and speculative tendency rather than to a lack of information. Nudges that provide traders with the intrinsic value are therefore an effective and applicable technique to mitigate bubble formations by reducing the participants' speculative behaviour.

description: In my PhD I reveal how I founded Alive Architecture. I address the question of how observing and drawing people appropriating the public realm informed my practice. I reveal how it was triggered through drawing Lived Space, how it evolved through observing and re-producing Lived Space and how it was furthered through co-producing Lived Space together with other people. In the final project Alive Architecture became a practice that is initiating Lived Space through curating other people to produce the public realm that allowed expanding an ephemeral event to a durational project.

description: The pressing issue of our time is how to achieve economic justice in the global age. In this thesis, promising examples of cooperative economies are analysed in light of the serious implications that have flown from the hegemonic neoliberal mode of discourse. The undermining of the redistributive capacity of postmodern states is critical to understanding the spreading dysfunction, hopelessness, and dangers that current democracies are facing. Eight in-depth case studies of renown as well as under-the-radar cooperative networks make the case for expanding cooperative ecosystems to influence other companies and people for the better - effectively challenging the destructive neoliberal myth that there are no alternatives to the current economic system. This painstaking piece of scholarship illuminates the challenging global issues without shying away from the deeper questions of power and hegemony, making way for alternative organizing principles upon which we can build a more just society. We are reminded that humans greatest achievements – from the 8-hour workday to greater race and gender equality – have been the result of cooperation. And while we collectively rediscover and capitalize on the basic human desire and talent for cooperation, we develop the power to humanize capitalism and create equal opportunities for all, because nothing in our nature is stopping the transformation towards justice globalism.

Cooperatives make up a significant but often ignored component of the global economy. Although attracting increasing attention from the academic community, few studies have focused on the internal barriers and opportunities faced by cooperatives who seek to build international networks. This study offers a unique focus on the role of governance, as it proofs that the critical task of establishing cooperative networks does not rely on policy makers and global trade deals, but can be met right at the business level through democratic, trust-building, day-to-day practices. It is the responsibility of today’s cooperatives – especially of the large networks that may have lost sight of those principles in the past – to win over the sceptics with great democratic practices and renewed participative efforts. At this critical juncture in the history of the cooperative movement, this thesis offers practical advice through the synthesis of relevant concepts and arguments, identifies key challenges for the cooperative movement, and sets the agenda for subsequent work on the cooperative project.
Classification of handwriting kinematics in automated diagnosis and monitoring of Parkinson's disease

description: Parkinson's disease is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative conditions. Currently, there is no standard clinical tool available to diagnose PD. One of the research priorities is to come up with biomarkers which will improve the diagnostic process and can be used for the clinical test. At present, the only way to assess this disease is by visually observing the symptoms of the patient which is performed only by expert neurologists. As of now, there is no treatment to prevent the progression of PD. However, there is an elemental drug `Levodopa' (L-dopa) available to control the disease by increasing dopamine cells in the brain. It is important to detect PD and start treatment in the early stages as it helps to control the symptoms and significantly delays the development of motor complications.

In this study fine motor symptoms handwriting has been studied. As a first objective I have conducted the experiments on the significant number of patients and age-matched control (112 Participants:56 PD and 56 controls), and thus completed the task of data collection. The system developed extracts the dynamic features of the handwriting/drawing, reports the possible strength of dynamic features providing a basis for automated analysis. The advantage of this approach is that patients are not required to follow complex commands, and the analysis can be fully automized. I anticipate that following appropriate clinical tests already planned, the system will be able to detect early disease symptoms remotely outside hospitals or clinics. It could also be used for self-evaluation by patients with neuromuscular and motor neuron disorders. This device can be used without compromising on the comfort level of Patients who may still prefer writing with an ink pen on plain paper.

This study proposes a new feature `Composite Index of Speed and Pen-pressure' (CISP) to distinguish between different stages of Parkinson's disease. The experiment also demonstrated a method which can be used with guided spiral drawing to improve classification results to predict Parkinson's disease. Further, I recommend using a panel of writing tasks which might prove to be an effective biomarker for cell loss in the substantia nigra and the associated dopamine deficiency. Thus, models developed can be used in designing an automated application for predicting and monitoring Parkinson's disease

Negotiation space: a relational approach to interior design

subject: Interior design

description: Interior Design is most often understood as concerned with the design or reform of the inside of buildings. In this way, an interior is defined by the enclosure of a building – the result of its containing architecture. The dominant association of the term ‘interior’ is with ideas of location, containment or enclosure. It is my contention that this is unnecessarily restrictive and hinders the development of broader and far richer opportunities for the discipline.

The central aim of this PhD is to develop an expanded practice of Interior Design, drawing on a more liberal understanding of interiority as a relational condition. This relational approach to Interior Design foregrounds the positioning of occupants relative to the physical and virtual conditions of a space, both perceived and experienced.

A collaborative design practice titled Making Distance was established for the duration of the PhD. This practice developed participatory tools and techniques that embraced and extended a collaborative partnership with filmmakers, scriptwriters, other designers, and the public.

Physical ‘making’ of interiors was central to this practice-based research. Various self-initiated and commissioned projects (including constructed models, installations, exhibitions, and sets for film and television) supported a deliberate shift in medium and context to address the rhetorical nature of the work as both speculation and reflection.

The body of work produced under the banner of Making Distance carried two research trajectories simultaneously: that of Negotiating Space and the Mediated Interior. Ultimately Making Distance acted as a framework and vehicle for a conversation between two designers, enacted through the medium of design.

This research’s major contribution to the discipline is to provide a methodological catalyst for further research by practice in interior design. It provokes a serious reassessment of the role of interior design. Eschewing restriction to the ‘indoors’, it suggests an expanded engagement in the design of our contemporary urban environment.

description: Asteriidae Gray, 1840    Remarks. Gray (1840) diagnosed his family Asteriadae as “skeleton netted with a single mobile spine at each anastomosis of the ossicula; body covered with more or less prominent elongatemobilespines”. Fisher(1928) consideredtheAsteriidae to be a “polyphyletic aggregation of genera placed for convenience under the aegis of Asterias ”. He characterized the family as having usually 5 or 6 rays, 5 primary longitudinal series of plates (carinal, 2 superomarginal, 2 inferomarginal), generally reticulate dorsal skeleton, crowded ambulacral plates, and mostly 2 or 4 longiseries of tube feet. A.M. Clark (1962) characterized the Asteriidae as having: usually 4 series of tube feet, short adambulacral plates, usually straight pedicellariae at least in the furrow, marginal spines not needle-like. Most recently McKnight (2006) diagnosed the family as “ Forcipulatida with five or more arms, usually merging into the disc, sometimes more sharply set off from it. Abactinal skeleton reticulate, with longitudinal and transverse series of plates, or reduced to isolated plates, in no apparent order. Skeleton extending to tip of rays, the plates armed with one or more spines or spinelets. Adambulacral plates short, with the spines in a single transverse series, usually one or two, but up to seven may be present. Tube feet in two or four rows”. The morphological characters of the asteriid species in this study are in accord with these diagnoses.

description: The ever-increasing demand to harvest solar light more efficiently has pushed the boundaries of research to develop new materials with superior light absorption properties. Considering that UV irradiation contributes to only 3% of the solar irradiation falling on the earth surface, conventional oxides such as TiO2 (band gap energy of 3.2 eV) absorb <5% of the solar spectrum. This suggests that traditional inorganic semiconductors may require transformational modifications to be suitable for practical applications. This outlines the need fabricate new catalysts with broad absorption capabilities across the UV–Vis–IR range of the solar spectrum. Additionally, easy fabrication and improving the availability of catalytically active sites would also enable rapid translation of such catalysts. For developing such catalysts, appropriate selection of semiconductors is required wherein the bandgap, chemical stability and light absorbing capabilities of each of these semiconductors and/ or metals is essential. The formation of junctions between two semiconductors or a semiconductor/metal has shown tremendous effect in influencing the photocatalytic activities of the semiconductors.

In this regard, the current thesis outlines the fabrication of an organic charge transfer complex based on TCNQ using a simple and facile solution based approach. Combining these materials with either metals or other semiconductors improved their charge transfer properties leading to excellent catalysts. Growing such materials directly on high surface area cotton templates further allowed me to control the population of the junctions

description: Electronic contracts must be legally enforceable and certain like traditional contracts, to establish a similar legal framework in an electronic environment. The Electronic Transaction Legislation of Australia has made an attempt to strengthen legal certainty of electronic framework while ensuring law keeps pace with technological development. Despite this, the enforceability of electronic contracts is not as certain and predictable as those of traditional paper-based contracts. These problems arise due to regulatory deficiencies. Different approaches to address this issue have been adopted by jurisdictions such as the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK); however, the issue has not been adequately resolved in these jurisdictions.

At the international level, various organisations such as the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and are working in close cooperation to resolve uncertainty surrounding electronic contracts. International developments also present the same deficiencies as are present at the national level. This thesis examines the current laws and reviews how international norms emerged and continue to resolve the issues.

Integrated water and land management to deliver sustainable agriculture in semi-arid catchments
Creators: name: Jarrar, Ammar
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: Arid and semi-arid regions are generally characterized by water scarcity and low per capita water allocation. Integrated catchment management provides an interdisciplinary framework that links physical, social and economical sciences into planning, policy and decision making. The main objective of the research is to develop a framework for a Multi Criteria Decision Support System (MCDSS) that provides planners and decision makers with a tool for planning integrated management of land and water. It also provides a soundly based analysis of agricultural water demand. The data from agriculture-dominated Faria catchment in the West Bank of Palestine was used for the study. The proposed approach integrates a rainfall-runoff model, a groundwater model, statistical analysis of spring discharges, a planning model and a multicriteria decision analysis model. Collectively they form the framework. These models were utilized to determine the optimal cropping pattern that maximizes net income of the catchment that could be sustained by its natural resources.

 Management alternatives can be introduced by determining the sustainable limits imposed by the limited natural resources. Management alternatives were developed to maximize the net benefit whilst sustaining the available water resources. To evaluate the overall efficiency of the introduced alternatives, decision criteria were developed to account for the economic and environmental consequences and a multi-criteria decision analysis was conducted to rank the land and water management alternatives. The MCDSS developed under this study is a very useful tool that can be used by different decision makers and planners in various areas. It can be used to investigate the efficiency of different management alternatives in satisfying the decision criteria that ultimately aim at achieving the policies and strategies envisaged for the area under study.

Investigating the mechanisms underlying stroke outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive, incurable lung disease with various systemic comorbidities. The COPD population has a higher risk of cardiovascular comorbidities, including stroke. There is some evidence to suggest worse outcomes after stroke in the COPD population. It has also been shown that pulmonary complications frequently occur after stroke. Therefore, the primary aims of this thesis were to investigate whether COPD impacts on stroke outcomes, and inversely, whether stroke causes acute lung injury in mice. This thesis has systematically examined (i) strain-dependant differences of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice in response to an experimental model of stroke, transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO), (ii) changes in markers of lung injury in mice following experimental stroke and (iii) changes in stroke outcomes in C57BL/6 mice exposed acutely and chronically to cigarette smoke (preclinical mouse model of COPD). There was no observable difference in stroke outcomes between C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice, however the BALB/c mice had a high mortality rate and thus were not used for ongoing studies. Lung inflammation, as measured through inflammatory cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and proinflammatory gene expression in lung tissue, was elevated 6 h after ischaemic stroke. Further work needs to be done to characterise the lung inflammatory response to experimental ischaemic stroke. Chronic cigarette smoke exposure did not worsen stroke outcomes in this study. The period of smoke used in this study may have been insufficient to induce systemic changes believed to play a key role in worsened stroke outcomes.
More Than What Meets the Eye: An Examination of Characteristics That Impact Juvenile Justice Detention Decisions
Creators: name: Buchanan, Ashley Maria
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Research shows that disparities still exist in the juvenile justice decision-making process, but there is a gap in our understanding of neighborhood characteristics that may affect those detention decisions. Therefore, this research examines structural factors influenced by social disorganization theory to explore the impact they have on juvenile detention decisions. Neighborhood parks and recreation centers are examined as important local institutions that provide informal social control to the neighborhood. The Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for the city of Norfolk compiled juvenile justice data, and 2016 Census data were also used to obtain neighborhood structural information. Non-White juveniles were more likely to be detained than White juveniles. Males were more likely to receive detention. The older the juvenile, the more likely they were to be detained at intake. The more available recreation centers in a neighborhood, the less likely a juvenile will be detained at intake from the same neighborhood. Poverty and heterogeneity also showed significance in the decision to detain a juvenile at intake. The policy implications are discusses as well as limitations and directions for future research.

description: Archedota O’Loughlin gen. nov.
Figure 1
 Diagnosis. Taeniogyrid genus with body wall ossicles irregular thick spinous plates with wheel-spoked perforations with complex hubs, and rare chiridotid wheels; lacking sigmoid hooks.
 Type species. Archedota lapidea O’Loughlin sp. nov. (below; monotypic)
 Distribution. Australia, Victoria, western Bass Strait, 39°S 143°E, 92– 85 m.
 Etymology. From the Greek arche (old, beginning), referring to the apparently primitive form of the wheel-spoked perforated plates, with dota from the family name Chiridotidae (feminine).
 Remarks. The characters of this new apodid genus Archedota O’Loughlin gen. nov. are in accord with the above diagnoses of suborder, family and subfamily, with the exception of the presence of spinous plates with wheel-spoked perforations. This significant diagnostic character difference supports the erection of new higher taxa (suborder, family, subfamily), but on the basis of having only 2 specimens, and in the absence of molecular genetic data, I am limiting my response to the erection of a new genus only. Archedota lapidea O’Loughlin sp. nov. (below) differs only in ossicle form from the other genera of Chiridotidae. The presence of wheel-spoked single perforations in thick, closely spinous plates is a unique character amongst the chiridotids. Rare chiridotid-type wheels are present amongst the abundant, massed, perforated wheel-spoked plates. Absence of sigmoid hooks is also exceptional within the diagnosis of Taeniogyrinae. I acknowledge that in subjectively describing (etymology) the plate ossicles as “primitive”, and perhaps precursors to wheel ossicles, the form of the plates may in fact indicate a regressive condition or wheel ossicles with secondary developments.

title: Richard Strauss und die totale Herrschaft
Creators: name: Wilfing, Alexander
Year: 2009

description: Der Verfasser intendiert mit dieser Studie, die Reichsmusikkammerpräsidentschaft Richard Straussens (15. November 1933 – 06. Juli 1935) unter drei divergenten Perspektiven zu interpretieren: 1. Charakterologie: Analyse der für den genannten Themenkreis substantiellen Prädispositionen von des Komponisten Mentalität; 2. Phänomenologie: hermeneutische Exegese der kulturpolitisch essentiellen Aspekte des Nationalsozialismus; 3. Kontextualisierung: Integration von des Komponisten Aktivitäten in den generellen Horizont des damaligen Zeitgeschehens. Der Autor hofft mithilfe dieses methodologischen Vorgehens das im Zuge seiner Lektüre oftmals konstatierte wissenschaftstheoretische Defizit einer normativen Beurteilung des Tonsetzers aus dem Bewusstsein des 21. Jahrhunderts zu umgehen, welchem die sprachlich nicht fassbaren Grausamkeiten des „Holocaust“ ebenso gewärtig sind, wie die systematisch anmutenden Entwicklungslinien der europäischen Faschistisierung, die dem historisch kontemporären Intellektuellen selbstredend nur in Form der antizipativen Spekulation zugänglich waren. Besonders in Anbetracht der höchst divergenten Evolutionsperioden des Nationalsozialismus ist diese musikologisch oftmals praktizierte Forschungsstrategie in keinster Weise geeignet, dieser katastrophalsten Epoche der okzidentalen Geschichte gerecht zu werden, ergo eine exakte Differenzierung dieser partiell in vollkommener Separation stehenden Epochen des totalitär-rassistischen Regimes – speziell im Angesicht einer sich als wissenschaftlich titulierenden Verhaltensstudie – absolut unumgänglich.
