description: This study involved a comparative investigation of chloride-induced corrosion detection techniques on loaded reinforced concrete slabs which were exposed to deicing salts and wetting-drying cycles to simulate typical aggressive environments in cold climates. The studied techniques involved linear polarization technique, galvanostatic pulse technique, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, half-cell potential and concrete electrical resistivity mapping. The results showed that concrete quality and moisture content have a direct effect on corrosion activity, and these properties are represented well with concrete electrical resistivity. The galvanostatic pulse technique was shown to correlate well with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, which was used as a benchmark for corrosion rate measurements in this study; however, the galvanostatic pulse technique was not capable of detecting corrosion activity in saturated concrete accurately. The results of this research do not support the criteria provided by the ASTM C876-09 standard for using half-cell potentials to estimate the probability of reinforcing steel corrosion in reinforced concrete structures.
The effects of integration of industry faculty into a construction management postgraduate coursework program in the Australian environment
Creators: name: McManus, Kerry
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A postgraduate construction management program has been offered at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia continually for the last twenty nine years. The rationale for the program was to provide a transition from design to construction operations for Engineers who were interested in taking a role in construction operations. It was also used by immigrant Engineers who wanted to move into the Australian construction industry. The subjects offered ranged across construction and project management, construction law, site safety, finance, site communication, risk and sustainability of the construction process. The courses were delivered in face-to face mode and also selections were offered by distance education. The programs were arranged on a 'nested' basis with a progression of qualifications from Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma on to Master's level. Once the program began, it was found impossible to sustain without additional staff. The staff had to cover the range of subjects listed above and such a span of expertise was not readily available from within the full-time faculty. This situation resulted in the recruitment of part-time staff from industry to support the specialist subjects. The use of industry based staff has continued for thirty years. The link between industry and the university has enhanced the program and contributed to its longevity. This paper examines the characteristics of the industry-based lecturing staff and their influence on the development of the program over the time span. It is argued that they have shaped the course significantly in content and style and in the direction of the research topics undertaken by the students. An examination is made of the source of the students and the change of the pattern with time. The adaptation of the staff to such change is explored and it has been reflected in the changes to their teaching styles and approaches to the students. The conclusion is made that the industry-based staff have influenced the program so that there is a close relation to industry philosophies instilled in the students. That because of this, the research topics undertaken by the students are closely aligned with practice. These factors have contributed to the continuing success of the program over the years.

FIG. 13
Two partial, mostly decorticated, possibly right, valves of an indeterminate Propeamussiidae are represented in the Tsm Caldecott Tunnel fauna. On first glance they appear to have interior radial ribs as in the genus Propeamussium; however, they do not originate at the umbo and therefore are interpreted as cracks formed in the shell during or after deposition. The family is distributed worldwide and according to Waller (1971) occurs in water depths from 275 to 2,740 m. It ranges in age from the Jurassic to Holocene (Moore 1984).

description: In dieser Arbeit wird auf Basis einer vorhandenen elektromagnetischen Auslegung ein permanent erregter Synchronmotor mit innenliegendem Kühlsystem entwickelt, der mittels großserienfähiger Produktionsprozesse prototypisch aufgebaut und vermessen wird. Es existieren zahlreiche Konzepte und Überlegungen zur effektiveren Kühlung von Elektromotoren als dies nach dem Stand der Technik mittels Kühlhülse oder Ölkühlung möglich ist. Diese werden simulativ oder als vereinfachtes Modell umgesetzt, um die Funktionsfähigkeit nachzuweisen, jedoch lassen sich diese Konzepte oft nicht skalieren, da die notwendigen Produktionsmethoden nicht großserienfähig sind. In dieser Arbeit wird auf Basis eines innenliegenden Kühlkonzepts ein Motor entwickelt, der sich großserienfähig herstellen lässt, anschließend aufgebaut und erprobt. Herzstück der Entwicklung ist der umspritzte Stator, der mit einem Kunststoffgehäuse kombiniert wird, um weiteres Leichtbau- und Integrationspotential zu nutzen. Durch den neuen Ansatz weist der Prototyp eine Dauerleistungsdichte von 5,8 kW/kg auf, was einer Steigerung gegenüber einem Vergleichsmotor mit Kühlhülse um den Faktor 2,6 entspricht. Gleichzeitig konnte das Gewicht um 13 % reduziert werden und durch eine Integration der Lagersitze, der Rotorkühlung und der Phasenstecker die Teileanzahl reduziert werden.
description: In this thesis, based on an existing electromagnetic design, a permanent magnet synchronous motor with an internal cooling system is developed, prototyped and measured using large-scale production processes. There are numerous concepts and considerations on how to cool electric motors more effectively than is possible with state-of-the-art cooling sleeves or oil cooling. These are implemented simulatively or as a simplified model to validate their functionality, but often lack the ability to mass produce. In this thesis, a motor is developed based on an internal cooling concept that can be manufactured on a large scale, then built and tested. At the heart of the development is the overmoulded stator, which is combined with a plastic housing to exploit further lightweighting and integration potential. Thanks to this new approach, the prototype has a continuous power density of 5.8 kW/kg. This is a 260 % increase over a reference motor with a cooling sleeve. At the same time, the weight has been reduced by 13% and the number of parts reduced by integrating the bearing seats, rotor cooling and phase connectors into the housing.

description: Um Aussagen über die Rauch- und Temperaturausbreitung in Räumen oder Gebäuden machen zu können, werden häufig Simulationen von Bränden unter Anwendung der sogenannten Zonen-Modelle durchgeführt. Die Ausbreitung der Rauchgase in einem Raum wird bei den Zonen-Modellen über zwei Schichten dargestellt. Bei größeren Höhenunterschieden zwischen gekoppelten Räumen gehen die Schichten nicht direkt von einem Raum in den Folgeraum über, sondern werden im Übergangsbereich vertikal umgelenkt. Bei der Umlenkung der Schicht entsteht ein vertikal gerichteter Strahl, der eine zusätzliche Einmischung von Umgebungsluft zur Folge hat. Diese zusätzliche Einmischung führt zu einer Änderung des Massenstroms, was durch die Bilanzgleichungen im Zonen-Modell nicht berücksichtigt wird. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden mit dem CFD-Modell Überströmungen von gekoppelten Räumen zur Untersuchung der Einmischung von Umgebungsluft simuliert und unter Anwendung von Methoden der Strömungsmechanik ausgewertet und interpretiert. Das Ziel ist eine Methode zur Beschreibung der Einmischung von Umgebungsluft in den vertikal umgelenkten Strahl.

The second lucinid in the Tsm Caldecott Tunnel fauna is similar to the previous one in having widely-spaced co-marginal lamellae, but differs in its low, broad umbo, wide, oval shape, and weak anterior dorsal sulcus. This lucinid is very similar in shape to genus Tehamatea recently described by Kiel (2013). However, Tehamatea has a more prominent umbo and co-marginal lamellae only on its early shell after which the sculpture becomes irregular co-marginal growth lines. Also Tehamatea is only known from the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous of central California (Kiel 2013). Interestingly, Tehamatea is also found in ancient methane seeps. We assign this species to aff. Tehamatea until additional specimens can be found and studied in depth.

description: In Zeiten der Energiewende wird die Gewinnung von Strom aus erneuerbaren Energien (Windkraft und Photovoltaik) immer wichtiger. Jedoch sind diese Technologien von wechselnden Bedingungen geprägt. Bei Dunkelflauten gibt es einen Mangel an elektrischer Energie und andererseits gibt es häufig einen Überfluss an elektrischer Energie z.B. in den Sommermonaten, wenn die Solarenergieerzeugung ihren Höhepunkt erreicht. Eine Lösung für diese Schwankungsanfälligkeit liefert die Wasserelektrolyse. Dabei wird die überflüssige elektrische Energie aus den erneuerbaren Energien in chemische Energie umgewandelt. Im Wasserstoff wird diese chemische Energie gespeichert. Der Wasserstoff dient als Energieträger und kann als Brennstoff (Power-to-Fuel) oder als Rohstoff (Power-to-Chemicals) verwendet werden. Die Entwicklung und die Optimierung von Elektrolyse-Zellen spielen dabei eine zentrale Rolle. Aktuelle Forschungen konzentrieren sich darauf, die elektrochemischen Eigenschaften der Zellen besser zu verstehen und zu optimieren. Sie zielt darauf ab, die Effizienz, Stabilität und Wirtschaftlichkeit zu verbessern [1]. Eine Orientierungsgröße für die Effizienz der Elektrolyse-Zelle ist die Polarisationskurve. Ein flacher Verlauf nahe dem Nernst-Potential ist beabsichtigt. Überpotentiale müssen daher minimiert werden. Daher ist die Untersuchung und Verfahrensentwicklung von Zellkomponenten, wie Katalysator, Trägermaterial, PTL und Membran von großer Bedeutung. Eine hohe Stabilität bei den Betriebsbedingungen muss gewährleistet werden. Außerdem müssen die Strömungsfelder so gestaltet werden, um eine gleichmäßige Reaktantenzufuhr und Gas-, Wärmeabfuhr zu erreichen.

description: Background Designing questionnaires is a key point of epidemiological studies assessing human exposure to chemicals. The lack of validated questionnaires can lead to the use of previously developed and sub-optimally adapted questionnaires, which may result in information biases that affect the studyâ€Ìs validity. On this ground, a multidisciplinary group of researchers developed a series of tools to support data collection within the HBM4EU initiative. The objective of this paper is to share the process of developing HBM4EU questionnaires, as well as to provide researchers with harmonized procedures that could help them to design future questionnaires to assess environmental exposures. Methods In the frame of the work package on survey design and fieldwork of the HBM4EU, researchers carried out procedures necessary for the development of quality questionnaires and related data collection tools. These procedures consisted of a systematic search to identify questionnaires used in previous human biomonitoring (HBM) studies, as well as the development of a checklist and evaluation sheet to assess the questionnaires identified. The results of these evaluations were taken into consideration for the development of the final questionnaires. Results The main points covered by each of the sections included in HBM4EU questionnaires are described and discussed in detail. Additional tools developed for data collection in the HBM4EU (e.g. non-responder questionnaire, satisfaction questionnaire, matrix-specific questionnaire) are also addressed. Special attention is paid to the limitations faced and hurdles overcome during the process of questionnaire development. Conclusions Designing questionnaires for use in HBM studies requires substantial effort by a multidisciplinary team to guarantee that the quality of the information collected meets the studyâ€Ìs objectives. The process of questionnaire development described herein will contribute to improve the harmonization of HBM studies within the social and environmental context of the EU countries. © 2021 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

description: Wireless solutions allow service providers to quickly deploy high quality data links to deliver Internet services as well as bypassing wireline networks or expanding their existing fibre, cable or DSL plants. Wireless technology, however, not only offers IT service providers an alternative to traditional copper and cable access-loop infrastructures but has a potential to influence users behaviours, including the learning behaviours of higher education students. Swinburne University conducted a pilot project into the use of wireless LAN with a view to exploring its technical and economic feasibility as a means of extending IT infrastructure in a manner that would not be detrimental to learning activities. Students were loaned wireless cards to use with their own computers as well as wireless-equipped laptops. The project allowed wireless-equipped laptop computers to access the Swinburne network, including video-on-demand, and the Internet from the library, cafeterias, coffee lounges and the grounds as well as in some regular learning and teaching facilities. The pilot was evaluated. Evaluation criteria were developed against the Swinburne Flexible Learning and Teaching Strategic Development Plan as well as against technical and economic considerations. The investigation involved observation, questionnaires and focus groups. It involved multivariate analysis. Findings suggested, amongst other things, that students found the facility offered greater flexibility in time and place of study, facilitated group interaction and enhanced motivation. Network difficulties were experienced but few users expressed concern.

One indeterminate Cyclocardia has been recovered from the Caldecott Tunnel. It shows the exterior of a right(?) valve that has been crushed but appears to show greater than 16 broadly rounded radial ribs with slightly narrower shallow interspaces and appears to be crossed by fine co-marginal growth lines. This specimen is about 8.7 mm long and 7.5 mm high.
Only two Cyclocardia have been reported from the Miocene of California, Cy. monilicosta (Gabb, 1861) [= Cy.occidentalis (Conrad, 1855)] and Cy. californica (Dall, 1903). According to its original description Cy. monilicosta was described from the Santa Barbara area and questionably referred to the Miocene. The Santa Barbara Formation, from which Cy. monilicosta was likely collected, is middle Pleistocene in age (Minor et al. 2002, 2009), although in the past the Santa Barbara Formation has been referred to rocks of Miocene to Pleistocene age (Gabb 1861, Arnold and Arnold 1902, Moore 1983). Powell et al. (2010, p. 23, footnote) noted a single collection of Pliocene age from the Santa Barbara area and Minor et al. (2002, 2009) reported two geologic units of questionable Pliocene age in the sea cliffs below More Mesa just south of UC Santa Barbara at Goleta, so Pliocene but no Miocene geologic units occur in the area. Although it is uncertain which world oceans and is of no ecological significance here.

description: In the last decade, we have observed a massive trend towards a new generation of data-intensive systems which impacted the way we design our systems. Modern software architectures increasingly promote the design of distributed systems. These software architectures commonly also favor asynchronous processing to achieve qualities such as high availability. In consequence, data is only eventually consistent, and eventual consistency poses a number of tough concurrency-related challenges to software architects and developers. The research question of this thesis is: How can safe eventually consistent systems be architected in a targeted way? We propose a novel software architecture design methodology together with a novel asynchronous transaction processing model that is more suitable for the requirements of modern software architectures. Our evaluation results show that our solution is effective, as the occurrence of severe concurrency anomalies can be avoided. Further, practitioners participating in our studies perceive our design methodology to be useful. Altogether, our evaluation results indicate that our solution has the potential to be adopted by practitioners at broad scale.

FIGS. 17–19
Three incomplete, poorly preserved specimens are assigned to Vesicomyidae, genus and species indeterminate based on their shell outline and placement of the hinge towards the anterior end of the shell. Overall they are similar in outline to Pliocardia. Pliocardia is represented by two modern species in the northern eastern Pacific, one provisionally, “ Pl.” stearnsii (Dall, 1895) and “ Pl.” krylovata Martin and Goffredi, 2011 from Costa Rica. W.H. Dall (1896, p. 17) cites W.H. Dall (1895, p. 693) as geologic unit Cy. monilicosta was described from, it was most likely the Santa Barbara Formation where it occurs abundantly. Given this there is no data supporting a Miocene age for Cy. monilicosta, which is abundant in other Pliocene and Pleistocene formations in California (Moore 1992).
The other reported California Miocene Cyclocardia, Cy. californica has been reported from the late Miocene to Pleistocene of central and southern California (Moore 1992). In the Pacific northwest (Oregon and Washington) Cy. hannibali (Clark, 1925) and Cy. subtenta (Conrad, 1849) have been reported from the Miocene (Addicott 1976, Moore 1976). Also, Allison and Marincovich (1981) provisionally (cf.) reported five western Pacific Cyclocardia from the late Oligocene to early Miocene Narrow Cape Formation on Sitkinak Island, Alaska. Unfortunately, the Caldecott Tunnel specimen is not well enough preserved for a detailed comparison with any of the Miocene western North American Cyclocardia.

description: Salar de Huasco is a wetland in the Andes mountains, located 3800 m above sea level at the Chilean Altiplano. Here we present a study aimed at characterizing the viral fraction and the microbial communities through metagenomic analysis. Two ponds (H0 and H3) were examined in November 2015. Water samples were processed using tangential flow filtration to obtain metagenomes from which the DNA fraction of the sample was amplified and sequenced (HiSeq system, Illumina). The ponds were characterized by freshwater and the viral-like particles to picoplankton ratio was 12.1 and 2.3 for H0 and H3, respectively. A great number of unassigned viral sequences were found in H0 (55.8%) and H3 (32.8%), followed by the family Fuselloviridae 20.8% (H0) and other less relatively abundant groups such as Microviridae (H0, 11.7% and H3, 3.3%) and Inoviridae (H3, 2.7%). The dominant viral sequences in both metagenomes belong to the order Caudovirales, with Siphoviridae being the most important family, especially in H3 (32.7%). The most important bacteria phyla were Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes in both sites, followed by Cyanobacteria (H0). Genes encoding lysogenic and lytic enzymes (i.e., recombinases and integrases) were found in H0 and H3, indicating a potential for active viral replication at the time of sampling; this was supported by the presence of viral metabolic auxiliary genes at both sites (e.g., cysteine hydrolase). In total, our study indicates a great novelty of viral groups, differences in taxonomic diversity and replication pathways between sites, which contribute to a better understanding of how viruses balance the cycling of energy and matter in this extreme environment.

description: Research Question: This research adapted, tested, and evaluated a methodology to set priorities for systematic reviews topics within the Cochrane Collaboration that is sustainable and incorporates the social determinants of health and health equity into the analysis. Background: In 2008 a study was conducted to review, evaluate and compare the methods for prioritization used across the Cochrane Collaboration. Two key findings from that study were: 1) the methods were not sustainable and 2) health equity represented a gap in the process. To address these key findings, the objective of this research was to produce and test a method that is sustainable and incorporates the social determinants of health and health equity into the decision making process. As part of this research, the methods were evaluated to determine the level of success. Methodology: With assistance from experts in the field, a comparative analysis of existing priority setting methods was conducted. The Global Evidence Mapping (GEM) method was selected to be adapted to meet our research objectives. The adapted method was tested with assistance of the Cochrane Musculoskeletal Group in identifying priorities for Osteoarthritis. The results of the process and the outcomes were evaluated by applying the “Framework for Successful Priority Setting”. Results: This research found that the priority setting method developed is sustainable. Also, the methods succeeded in incorporating the social determinants of health and health equity into the analysis. A key strength of the study was the ability to incorporate the patients’ perspective in setting priorities for review topics. The lack of involvement of disadvantaged groups of the population was identified as a key limitation. Recommendations were put forward to incorporate the strengths of the study into future priority setting exercises within Cochrane and to address the limitations.
Investigative Documentary as Critique? Understanding the Role of Narrative in the CBC Fifth Estate Documentaries on the Ashley Smith Case

description: This thesis uses approaches adapted from narrative analysis to provide a detailed examination of the two CBC Fifth Estate documentaries on the case of Ashley Smith (Behind the Wall, 2010; Out of Control, 2010). In particular, it considers how different voices and pieces of evidence are brought together to construct coherent documentary narratives and contextualizes these narratives within broader feminist criminological discourse. This project develops the concepts of ‘internal’ and ‘external’ coherence and considers how attempts to maintain coherence influence the way the Smith case is presented in the documentaries. Drawing on Foucault’s (1976) discussion of subjugated knowledge, this project explores how the process of creating a coherent narrative necessitates the subjugation of controversial knowledge. By juxtaposing the arguments in the documentaries against those of feminist criminology, the findings reveal how attempts to formulate a critique of Canadian prisons that appeals to a national audience subjugates feminist critique.

UCMP 410439 is provisionally referred to Spisula aff. Spi. eugenensis (Clark, 1925) as it closely resembles this species in general outline. Spisula eugenensis from the Oligocene Eugene Formation in Oregon figured by Hickman (1969, pl. 4, fig. 13), with its broadly rounded, centrally-placed beak and moderately sloping anterior and posterior dorsal margins from the umbo, is nearly identical to the specimen figured here. In addition, the Tsm Caldecott Tunnel specimen show a slight anterior and posterior umbonal ridge that match well with Spi. eugenensis. The Eugene Formation (Oligocene) specimens and the Tsm Caldecott Tunnel (middle Miocene) specimen are very similar but are considered possibly distinct because of the difference in age.

Nietzsche on "Life": An Examination of the Metaphors and their Significance

Year: 2011
Subjects: Nietzsche
life

description: In this thesis Didiodato addresses a central theme in Nietzsche’s thought: namely, “life”. Nietzsche uses this term in a number of ways throughout his writings in many metaphorical, aphoristic, and often seemingly contradictory ways. This thesis attempts to flesh out what Nietzsche means by “life” by examining each of the particular ways Nietzsche uses the term in isolation. Ultimately, Didiodato argues that “life” is used in several fundamentally different ways which demonstrates Nietzsche’s criticism of metaphysical descriptions, while at the same time speaking to his emphasis on perspectivism. The thesis closes with a reflection on Nietzsche’s notion of the “affirmation of life” wherein this thesis argues that the diversity of accounts of life Nietzsche provides can find something of a unity.

Wild Normativity: Lyotard's Search for an Ethical Antihumanism

subject: Ethics
subject: Antihumanism

description: In spite of its thematic and stylistic heterogeneity, Jean-François Lyotard’s corpus may be plausibly interpreted as, by and large, an attempt to grapple with the following problem set: a) In general: if we reject all transcendent/systematic philosophical frameworks, can we consistently make normative claims? Can we ground them in any way? Do we need to? b) In particular: if we reject the philosophical framework of humanism, what does this mean for ethics and/or politics? Can one be an antihumanist without abandoning ethics? The basic issue is over the titular possibility of a “wild normativity” – that is, a normativity that does not derive its force from any kind of transcendent guarantor. As I reconstruct him, Lyotard begins from a methodological rejection of transcendent guarantors in general; this plays itself out in particular terms as a rejection of humanism. Thus, beginning from a thought not of universality and totality but of singularity and difference, and wishing at a certain point in his career to ensure that the problem of justice stays firmly on the agenda, Lyotard gives us to think the very possibility of an ethical antihumanism. My dissertation is both an interpretation of Lyotard’s work as it unfolds in time, as well as a contribution to thinking through the general-particular problem set that I argue is at play in his work.

UCMP 410418 is a single small specimen that shows an overall oval shell outline with the umbo positioned at about a third of the shell’s length. The umbo overhangs the dorso-anterior margin which is short and steeply inclined. The dorso-posterior margin broadly arches away from the umbo and is partially hidden. The ventral margin is broadly rounded from the anterior to the posterior. A fragment of the shell is present posterior of the umbo and appears moderately thick with strong concentric ribs. The cast shows that these ribs were co-marginal and moderately evenly spaced. These features and the shell outline matches well with some members of the family Veneridae, in particular the genus Clementia Gray, 1842, which is well known from the Miocene and possibly into the Pliocene of the West Coast (Woodring 1927). However, the specimen is not well enough preserved for a precise identification.

Reasons for Terminating Psychotherapy: Client and Therapist Perspectives
Creators: name: Westmacott, Robin

Subjects: Psychotherapy
Premature termination

description: Given the high prevalence of client unilateral termination from psychotherapeutic services, elucidating client reasons for ending therapy is an important activity for researchers. Three studies were designed to shed light on reasons for both premature and appropriate termination from the perspective of adult clients and therapists: 1) In Study 1, I examined data from the Canadian Community Health Survey, Cycle 1.2, to establish base rates of client reasons for psychotherapy termination in Canada, along with their demographic and clinical correlates, 2) In Study 2, I used training clinic data to examine client and therapist perspectives of reasons for termination, working alliance, and barriers to treatment participation in mutual versus unilateral terminators, and 3) In Study 3, I collected data from Canadian clinical psychologists to examine their perspectives of client reasons for early versus later termination, and their use of engagement strategies to reduce client-initiated unilateral termination. In Study 1, 43.1 percent of respondents reported terminating therapy for reasons other than feeling better or completing treatment. In general, individuals with low income and diagnosable mental disorders had significantly increased odds of premature termination. Study 2 revealed that when clients made unilateral decisions to end therapy, therapists were only partially aware of either the extent of clients’ perceptions of their success in therapy or with their dissatisfaction with therapy. Although working alliance and barriers to treatment participation were rated as lower in the context of unilateral termination by both clients and therapists than in the context of mutual decisions to terminate therapy, all clients, in general, rated the early alliance and barriers to treatment as higher than did their therapists. In Study 3 psychologists assigned differential importance to reasons for termination depending on whether termination was before versus after the third session. Theoretical orientation (CBT versus other) did not influence views of reasons for termination, but influenced use of some engagement strategies. Results are discussed in terms of research and clinical implications.

title: Forging Positive Peace: The British Section of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, 1934-1946
Creators: name: Chambers, Emily
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: The Women's International League (WIL) was the British section of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), a non-profit organisation founded in 1915. The League brought together members from different countries who believed women had a unique role in peacekeeping. They argued that gender inequality and social injustice were directly proportional to conflict and suffering, from which their dual aims of peace and freedom emerged. However, the advent of the Second World War appeared to pit peace against freedom, exasperating old, and creating new, fractures not only between the WIL and WILPF but within the British section itself. It appeared that choosing peace meant, in effect, not resisting Nazism, but advocating for freedom meant supporting the war. After heated deliberation, the WIL decided to remain officially pacifist. This was not because they had chosen peace over freedom but rather because they had a dynamic and complex understanding of pacifism. An understanding of pacifism that involved both negative peace, regarding the absence of war, and positive peace, concerning creating 'just' structural changes to society that would make anything but peace impossible.
This project draws on archival material, including many understudied official and personal records from WIL(PF) members, to reveal the WIL's peace policies and how they changed from 1934 to 1946. It develops current historiography that has largely overlooked the WIL during this period and challenges the idea that the movement 'screeched to a halt in 1939' and did not reform until the late 1940s. It does so in the first three sections, which identify the WIL's different periods of peace work: 1934-1937, 1938-1943 and 1944-1946. Here, the British section's ideological work and tangible strategies are analysed and contextualised within the League's international work. The final section takes a closer look at the WIL's gendered policies to challenge literature that discounts the League's work due to the association that is made between feminist pacifism and the essentialist idea that women are naturally peaceful.
Overall, it is argued that the WIL continued to engage in substantial and essential peace work from 1934 to 1946, despite the numerous ongoing conflicts.
