description: This thesis argues that Australian state and local government planning authorities should not require complete master planned community (MPC) developers to provide non-retail employment centres within their projects. While MPC developers may choose to do so as part of their respective corporate strategies, the mandatory institution of such a requirement does not assist planning authorities in achieving their intended outcome of bringing jobs closer to its residents. The context of this research is set in South-east Queensland (SEQ), the fastest growing metropolitan area in Australia. State and national planning authorities have favoured the creation of complete MPCs located in suburban greenfield areas to provide housing for the increasing population. These integrated communities offer a variety of housing options, recreational features and employment opportunities intended to achieve job-housing balance and minimise work-related travel.
The deformation kinetics of a superplastic zinc-aluminum alloy.
Creators: name: Laforce, Clément H.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: The deformation behavior of a commercial near eutectoid zinc-aluminum alloy was studied by subjecting standard tensile specimens to stress relaxation experiments at constant temperatures between 258 0K to 344 0K. To satisfy the constant strain condition of such experiments, the testing machine was controlled by a computer; for comparative purposes, other tests were conducted using the normal stress relaxation procedure. The results of the experiments were analysed using the theory of deformation kinetics. It was concluded that, for the temperature range covered in this investigation, the deformation mechanisms operate sequentially. The activation volumes associated with forward activation over the first barrier were measured to be 13 +/- 1 b3; for the forward activation over the second barrier, the activation volumes were found to be 38 +/- 14 b3, while those characteristic to the backward flow over the first barrier varied from 27 to 252 b3. It was not possible to obtain accurate measurements of the activation energies; consequently, no conclusion could be drawn as to the nature of the deformation mechanisms. The stress exponent, defined as ∂lntau/∂lntau, was also measured; the values found varied from 2.1 to 9.3.

description: Silvicultural practices such as pre-commercial thinning (PCT) and repeated fertilization have been used successfully around the world to increase forest biomass for conventional wood products, biofuels, and carbon sequestration. Two complementary studies were designed to test the hypotheses (H) that large-scale PCT and PCT with repeated fertilization of young (13–17 years old) lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) stands, at 25 years after the onset of treatments, would enhance (H1) productivity and structural features (diameter and height growth, crown volume and dimensions) of crop trees; (H2) merchantable volume of crop trees, (H3) abundance of understory conifer, herb and shrub layers, and (H4) carbon storage (sequestration) of all layers. Results are from two studies in south-central British Columbia, Canada. The PCT study had three densities: 500, 1000, and 2000 stems/ha, an unthinned, and old-growth stand replicated at three areas. The PCT-FERT study had four densities: 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 stems/ha with and without a repeated fertilization treatment, and an unthinned-unfertilized stand, replicated at two areas. Heavily thinned (≤1000 stems/ha) and fertilized stands generally had larger mean diameters and crown dimensions than lightly thinned or unfertilized stands, whereas mean heights of crop trees remained relatively unaffected, and hence partial support for H1. Despite differences in stand density (4- and 8-fold) of original crop trees, ingress of intermediate crop trees over the 25 years changed density dramatically. There was no support for H2, as mean merchantable volume of total crop trees was similar across stand densities owing to ingress, and was also similar in fertilized and unfertilized stands. In stands thinned to ≤500 trees/ha, there is an anticipated increase in crop tree density of 2.2 to 4.3 times over 25 years compared with the original post-thinning densities. Mean abundance of understory conifers was generally similar among stands owing to successional development towards canopy closure, whereas herbs and shrubs persisted only in canopy gaps in heavily thinned stands, thereby providing no support for H3. Mean carbon storage was similar across densities in both studies with ingress contributing a considerable amount to carbon sequestration at the lower densities. Fertilization increased (1.4 times) mean carbon storage significantly among total crop trees, total conifers, and the grand total of all layers, thereby providing partial support for H4. Thus, much of the potential above-ground carbon storage lost by thinning was restored in the heavily thinned stands at 25 years post-treatment.

description: Entrepreneurship is a human process, where technology and profit are secondary (Timmons, 1999, 2006; Timmons & Spinelli 2007, 2009; Dana & Anderson 2005, 2007; Morris et al. 2008). Entrepreneurship is a worldwide phenomenon. It has taken on greater momentum since the 1950s. It entails the idea that there are certain persons, comprising perhaps only about 5-10% of the general populace, (Rasheed 2001) or 10-15% (Bolton 1986 cited Bolton and Thompson 2004) or even 40% in the case of the US (Bygrave 1998 cited Bolton and Thompson 2004) who, due either to natural makeup or environmental upbringing, are dreamers, planners and, most importantly, innovators. They may or may not be well educated. They may or may not be good market analysts. They may or may not be, obstructed by red tape. They may or may not always have a particularly good idea or plan. But what we do find is that they universally possess the drive, the innovation, the focus and the resourcefulness to get a project from dream to business plan, to financial backing to implementation. And they have the resilience to persistently pursue this process, through failure after failure, but always learning, until they hit commercial 'pay dirt'. They also lead and build good professional teams that are empowered to integrate their personal vision in line with that of their managed customer markets and enterprises. In order to understand the phenomenon better, the study of entrepreneurship has evolved as a multidisciplinary theory. Entrepreneurship itself has a variable nature with a diverse knowledge base, operating at different levels within organisations leading to many different definitions being used by academics and business writers. Initially, studies focussed on entrepreneurial traits, or the personality of entrepreneurs. But that focus has shifted from the entepreneur, to the organisation to process, based on the driving force of the entrepreneur in a business context, with a premium on serving the valued customer.

description: International students do just as well as Australian students. This is the key finding from a study of the academic performance of 338,000 full-time students at 22 Australian universities in 2003. The results of the study are important to international education professionals globally at a time when there have been allegations that Australian universities were dropping standards to favour foreign students. The research proves these allegations to be untrue. Australian students passed 89.4 percent of courses attempted, international students 88.8 percent. The results suggest that in their recruitment of international students Australian universities set their standards at about the right level. Consistent with research globally, the study found a gender difference. Female students passed 91.6 percent of courses attempted, male students 86.5 percent.

description: Recycling has proven not only to address today’s economical, environmental and social issues, but also to be imperative for the sustainability of human technology. The current thesis has investigated the feasibility of a new philosophy for Recycling (Alloying-Recycling) using steel 1020 and aluminum 6061T6. The study was limited to the metallurgical aspects only and has highlighted the potential of recycled alloys made of recycled aluminum and steel to exhibit substantially increased wear resistance and strength-to-weight ratio as compared to initial primary materials. Three alloy-mixtures are considered: TN3 (5wt% 1020 +95wt% 6061T6); TN5 (0.7wt% 1020 + 99.3wt% 6061T6); and TN4 (10wt% 6061T6 + 90wt% 1020). A Tucker induction power supply system (3kW; 135-400 kHz) is used to melt the alloy mixtures for casting in graphite crucibles. Heat treatment of the cast samples is done using a radiation box furnace. Microscopy, Vickers hardness and pin-on-disc abrasive wear tests are performed. Casting destroyed the initial microstructures of the alloys leading to a hardness reduction in the as-cast and solution heat-treated aluminum rich samples to 60 Hv from 140 Hv. Ageing slightly increased the hardness of the cast samples and provided a wear resistance two times higher than that of the initial 6061T6 material. On the steel rich side, the hardness of the as-cast TN4 was 480 Hv, which is more than twice as high as the initial hardness of steel 1020 of 202 Hv; this hints to strong internal and residual stress, probably martensite formation during fast cooling following casting. Solution heat treatment lowered the hardness to the original value of steel 1020, but provided about ten (10) times higher wear resistance; this suggests higher ductility and toughness of normalised TN4 as compared to 1020. In addition, TN4 exhibits about 25% weight reduction as compared to 1020. The actual recycling process and the effect of non-metallic impurities shall be investigated in future works. Also, the casting and heat treatment processes need to be improved.

description: This study explores the problems surrounding the establishment of International Standard Schools (ISS) in Indonesia, as a result of the implementation of The Law No. 20 of 2003. The complexities behind the endorsement of ISS within the framework of education reform have attracted some researchers; however, these studies have focused mostly on the analysis of policy at the higher levels. Little was known about the impact of ISS policy on teachers' practice, particularly related to the implementation of bilingual instruction. Thus, the study of the context of practice within an analysis of policy in bilingual instruction in Indonesia remains under-explored. The present research study is an attempt to respond to this problem.
Revision of the family Samaridae (Pleuronectiformes: Actinopterygii).

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Biology, Zoology.

description: The family Samaridae has 28 nominal species or subspecies, 22 of which are recognized in this study. Four new species (Samariscus sp., Samaris sp., Samaris sp. 1 and S. sp. 2) are described, two species names resurrected (S. cacatuae and S. onatus) and two species (S. filipectoralis and S. sunieri) and one subspecies (Samaris cristatus erythraeus) are synonymized. An artificial key was constructed for all species. The family is shown to be monophyletic, as are the three genera comprising the family; Plagiopsetta being the most plesiomorphic. Samaris and Samariscus are sister groups. Numerous apomorphies corroborate the monophyly of the S. cristatus complex (Samaris cristatus, S. cacatuae, S. ornatus and S. sp). In Samariscus, S. nielseni, S. corallinus and S. triocellatus form a monophyletic group. The family is restricted to the Indo-West Pacific. Species numbers are highest in the Indo-Malaysian region, drop off with increasing distance and are not found in the extreme eastern Pacific due to the eastern Pacific barrier.

Ripensare l’11 Settembre con Derrida: Tra evento e autoimmunità
Creators: name: Marchente, Arianna
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: In a way, after the September 11th terrorist attack, we have all had the feeling that we witnessed a real major event. However, the notion of event itself is semantically problematic. The 10th anniversary of this date offers us the opportunity to interrogate ourselves with a new question: was this indeed an event? To what extent? This is the very question which opens Jacques Derrida’s interview, undertaken by Giovanna Borradori in New York a few days after the attack. Indeed the French philosopher Derrida provides us with deep insights into the notion of event, its underpinnings and semantic roots.
To a certain extent September 11th seems to be an event; indeed, how otherwise could it have given such a strong impression of being so? On the other hand however, it seems not to have been an event, in that it does not correspond to the Derridian definition of “event” as a surprise, as something totally unpredictable. September 11th - Derrida claims- was predictable and it’s not by chance that the US had created institutions such as the CIA or the NSA to defend themselves from this kind of threat. Nevertheless in understanding September 11th as something other than an event, we are forced to struggle with the question why was it that we first had the impression it was an event and why did it have such a strong impact on us?
We are therefore confronted with two new important questions. The first leads us to reflect on the role that the media played with respect to September 11th. What would September 11th have been –Derrida asks himself- without TV? The second question concerns the auto-immune nature of this event, which explains its traumatic effect and stands as an emblem of that auto-immunity, which is the fundamental characteristic of present times, in this era of globalisation.

Re-Collecting the Lost Object: The Poetics of Narrative as Aesthetic Representation of Melancholy

Year: 2010
Subjects: creative writing

description: In Black Sun: Depression and Melancholia (1989), Julia Kristeva suggests that melancholy-an experience of 'object loss' (effectively, when a sign fails to correspond to its meaning, as established by Freud)-is a language which requires learning in order for this state of being (or 'nonbeing') to be understood. Melancholy affect, Kristeva argues, can thus be transposed into art where the 'symbolic' is represented through the 'sign'; she states: 'Artifice, as sublime meaning for and on behalf of the underlying, implicit nonbeing replaces the ephemeral'. In other words, in the experience of 'object loss' we look toward the imagination and the construction of signs to fill the void and make meaning-absence evoked by a presence. Compiled under the candidature of a Doctor of Creative Arts and comprising of a critical dissertation (exegesis) and creative narrative artefact (thesis), this submission explores the above Kristevian psychoanalytical approach to melancholy and applies this theory to creative writing practices in order to: 1. assemble currently disparate critical discourses on melancholy, cultures of collecting, and narrative fiction practice; 2. discuss point 1. (above) and the inherent theoretical approaches with specific relation to narrative elements as understood and utilised in both critical and creative practices of creative writing, demonstrated by the analysis of published works and the accompanying creative narrative artefact (thesis) as exemplars; 3. undertake the above points with the unique design of utilising germane aspects of methodological approaches practiced by collectors in the classification and arrangement of collected objects, and apply this methodology as an apposite organising principle of the subject matter at hand; and subsequently 4. construct an original creative narrative artefact (thesis), the Arc: A Novel of Melancholy and Re-Collection, to demonstrate the above theoretical approaches through creative praxis, particularly in relation to the form and function of narrative in the creation of a melancholy aesthetic.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Public Health.

description: The combination of ethnicity and birthplace was used to identify first and second generation Chinese immigrants and US born white Americans. Cancer incident cases for three comparison groups were obtained. Population counts for each study group were extracted from The Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS-98). Direct Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) were calculated using the "world population" as a standard. ASIRs were compared among first, second generation Chinese immigrants and US born white Americans for nasopharyngeal, esophageal, stomach, liver, colon, rectum, lung, female breast and prostate cancers. Observed, relative and cause-specific survival rates were calculated for the three study groups. The advantages and disadvantages of the three survival rates were compared. Cause-specific survival rates for female breast, prostate, colorectal, and lung cancer were compared among first and second generation Chinese immigrants and US born white Americans. Multivariate survival analysis was conducted using Cox proportional hazard model. Other prognostic factors, such as stage at diagnosis, age, gender, and had or did not have directed surgery during first therapy, SEER registry, and marital status, were examined.

description: Extended scope roles such as the Advanced Health Practitioner are a contemporary solution used for workforce redesigns in response to the multiple pressures placed on the health care system worldwide. Health professional role substitution has been successful in reducing waiting times, releasing medical specialist time, improving patient outcomes and has a high patient satisfaction rating. The aim of this PhD thesis was to explore and document the impact of introducing a new transdisciplinary extended scope role, the Advanced Health Practitioner (Adv HP), within a geriatric outpatient setting. The new redesigned aged-care model placed the Adv HP role as the initial point of patient contact, in contrast to traditional medical models where a specialist medical practitioner is the first point of contact. A pre-post mixed method research design of the overall study was chosen in order to add data to the current evidence base, attempting to fill gaps identified in the current literature and inform future workforce redesigns regarding extended scope of practice roles.

Ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) inducing potency of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in avian hepatocyte cultures: Investigations of the ability of an in vitro bioassay to predict the toxic potency of PAHs.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Toxicology.

description: Eighteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-pdioxin (TCDD) were examined for their potencies to induce ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity in primary cultures of White Leghorn chicken (Gallus domesticus), Pekin duck (Anas platyrhynchos), and Greater Scaup (Aythya marila) embryo hepatocytes. Of the 18 PAHs, only eight induced EROD activity. In chicken hepatocytes the rank order of potency of the eight EROD inducing PAHs was BkF ≥ DahA > Ind > BaA ≥ BghiP ≥ Chr ≥ BaP > BNT. A log-log plot of the ECthr plotted against the LD50 (LD50 data from Brunstrom et al., 1991) for BkF, DahA, BaA, and BNT resulted in a good correlation (r2 = 0.898) between EROD-inducing potency and in ovo lethality. The regression line was used to predict LD50 values for Ind, Chr, and BaP. Although the regression line overestimated the LD50 values, the estimated values appear to be within one order of magnitude of their approximate LD50. The rank order of induction potency of the eight EROD-inducing PAHs in duck and scaup hepatocytes was BkF ≥ DahA > BaP ≥ Ind > BghiP ≥ Chr ≥ BaA > BNT, and BkF ≥ DahA > BaP ≥ Ind > BaA ≥ BghiP > Chr, respectively. Among species, there was no clear overall trend in relative sensitivity to EROD induction by individual PAHs. The EROD inducing potency of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) extracts was investigated in hepatocytes of all three species. The rank order of sensitivity to the extracts was chicken > duck ≥ scaup. While TCDD and several PCBs induce porphyrin accumulation in chicken embryo hepatocytes, none of the PAHs elicited this response. Regardless of the lack of porphyrinogenic effects, the EROD data suggests that primary cultures of avian embryo hepatocytes maybe a useful model for predicting the in ovo toxic potencies of PAHs in avian species.

description: Despite the increasing availability of Open Science (OS) infrastructure and the rise in policies to change behaviour, OS practices are not yet the norm. While pioneering researchers are developing OS practices, the majority sticks to the status quo. To transition to common practice, we must engage a critical proportion of the academic community. In this transition, OS Communities (OSCs) play a key role. OSCs are bottom-up learning groups of scholars that discuss OS within and across disciplines. They make OS knowledge more accessible and facilitate communication among scholars and policymakers. Over the past two years, twelve OSCs were founded at all Dutch university cities. In other countries, similar OSCs are starting up (Sweden, Serbia, Ireland, Saudi-Arabia). In this talk, we will make the case for the pivotal role OSCs play in the large-scale transition to OS and that meta-research provides the much-needed context which guides activities in OSCs. At the same time, we believe that OSCs provide a suitable platform for disseminating meta-research findings. Finally, we emphasize that despite the grassroot character of OSCs, support from universities is critical for OSCs to be viable, effective, and sustainable.

Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with 30 Inuit women over 18 years of age and participant observation by the author. The data show that sewing continues to be important to Inuit women of all ages, but under new conditions. Unlike the past when sewing was an essential skill, today sewing is a choice. There have been breaks in the transmission of sewing knowledge for many women, particularly those who, or their mothers, attended residential schools, but there has been a resurgence of interest in sewing later in life. Sewing knowledge continues to be transmitted through stories, observation and hands-on learning and now includes organised sewing groups. Sewing contributes to participant's health and the collective health of the community in several ways including, pride and sense of accomplishment, cultural identity, and a range of feelings. Sewing is an important source of income, and with the Internet, sewers have access to global markets, both to sell items and purchase materials and animal skins. As such, sewers no longer have to rely on having a hunter in their household to supply them with skins and are not limited by the seasonality of hunting. In conclusion, the findings reveal as much or more about cultural change, resilience and adaptability as they do about the importance of sewing. Despite undergoing sweeping societal changes, sewing continues to have cultural, health, economic, and practical importance to women in Ulukhaktok.
The WTO Legal Regime for the Actionability of Agricultural Subsidies after the Expiry of the Peace Clause

Challengeability

description: Because of the Agreement on Agriculture’s (AoA) Article 13, dubbed the “Peace Clause,” the challengeability of agricultural subsidies has been limited; Article 13 had the power to prevent several types of legal challenges. The Peace Clause has expired, and now many agricultural subsidies can be challenged under substantive provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT 1994) and the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement). However, there has been some uncertainty, because the new arrangement of agricultural subsidies’ challengeability is being defined by the interpretation and correlation of three different WTO agreements. This study verified, using a two-pronged method, that there is no conflict among the GATT 1994, the SCM Agreement and the AoA, and for this reason, they have to be applied together to regulate agricultural subsidies. This does not mean that all SCM Agreement provisions are automatically applied to agricultural subsidies, with a consequent free ride for challenges to agricultural subsidies. A successful challenge still has to overcome the SCM Agreement’s higher thresholds for challengeability compared with those of the GATT 1994 period. This condemnation became more difficult after the implementation of the WTO. Consequently, the goals established in the AoA of substantial and progressive reductions in agricultural support and protection still have to be accomplished.
A Simple and Robust Fabrication Process for SU-8 In-Plane MEMS Structures
Creators: name: Ge, Chang

Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2020

description: In this paper, a simple fabrication process for SU-8 in-plane micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) structures, called “border-bulk micromachining”, is introduced. It aims to enhance the potential of SU-8 MEMS structures for applications such as low-cost/disposable microsystems and wearable MEMS. The fabrication process is robust and uses only four processing steps to fabricate SU-8 in-plane MEMS structures, simplifying the fabrication flow in comparison with other reported attempts. The whole fabrication process has been implemented on copper-polyimide composites. A new processing method enables the direct, laser-based micromachining of polyimide in a practical way, bringing in extra processing safety and simplicity. After forming the polymeric in-plane MEMS structures through SU-8 lithography, a copper wet etching masked by the SU-8 structure layers is carried out. After the wet etching, fabricated in-plane MEMS structures are suspended within an open window on the substrate, similar to the final status of in-plane MEMS devices made from industrial silicon micromachining methods (such as SOIMUMPS). The last step of the fabrication flow is a magnetron sputtering of aluminum. The border-bulk micromachining process has been experimentally evaluated through the fabrication and the characterization of simple in-plane electrically actuated MEMS test structures. The characterization results of these simple test structures have verified the following process qualities: controllability, reproducibility, predictability and general robustness.
Conflict Transformation Journalism: A 'Sandesa' from Sri Lanka

description: This project set out to investigate journalism practice in post-colonial, post-conflict Sri Lanka. Earlier studies have theorised news selection and news production processes in western locations or in post-colonial developmental context and have, in the main, examined embedded journalism in the Middle Eastern war environment. This project focuses on the unique trilingual news reporting practices in a conflict transformation stage of an Asian island-nation that was entrenched in ethnic conflict for almost 30 years. Grounded on Anderson's (1983) 'imagined community', and drawing on Asian philosophies as well as de-westernisation perspectives, the study ethnographically explored perceptions of Sri Lankan journalists embedded in the trilingual national press on their reporting role in a conflict transformation phase. Three communities of practice, namely, the journalistic community, the Asian research community and the text community, were located. In this sense, the project identified the cultural, scriptural, vernacular, linguistic and historical factors that seem to impact the unique trilingual journalism practice in Sri Lanka. The study also examined the content of trilingual news media in the post-conflict phase of nation- building to comparatively determine news coverage patterns and flows in the Tamil, Sinhala and English language print news media. In this sense, the study triangulated ethnographic observations and interviews with content analysis data to offer culture- specific and culture-rich insights into Sri Lankan news room practices and news reporting styles. The significance of the study lies in the axiological, epistemological and ontological differences in Asian communication patterns strongly swayed by the philosophies of Asia such as Confucianism, Daoism, Hinduism and Buddhism. Generally, whilst displaying strong work ethics, national consciousness appears to direct the role of multi-ethnic Sri Lankan journalists who seem to work along with the aspirations of the masses irrespective of the language of production. Sri Lankan journalists tend to tread unsettled waters without fear and without too much splash. They appear to keep silent at times to adopt appropriate wisdom to disseminate appropriate knowledge at the appropriate time. Yet, each language stream tends to differ in the means and methods deployed to fashion and shape news content. This is neither peace nor war journalism. It is conflict transformation journalism functioning as the guardians of territorial integrity.

The Supreme Court of Canada's "historic" decisions in Nikal and Lewis: Why Crown fishing policy in Upper Canada makes bad law.
Creators: name: Blair, Peggy Janice.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Canadian Studies.

description: Although a casual reading of the Supreme Court of Canada's decisions in R. v. Nikal and R. v. Lewis might suggest otherwise, this thesis will argue that Court's decisions in two recent British Columbia aboriginal fishing cases do not apply in Ontario. In doing so, it will be shown that the Supreme Court of Canada relied on evidence of historic Crown policies towards aboriginal fishing rights in Upper Canada in the absence of appropriate context as to how those policies evolved. As a result, the Court wrongly concluded that fisheries could not be the subject of exclusive aboriginal rights. As a result of its reliance on historically discriminatory policies of the Crown, it will be shown that the Court favoured the fishing privileges of non-aboriginal Canadians over the pre-existing rights and title of aboriginal peoples. In exploring these issues, this thesis will include a review of case-law, legislation and historical materials from the 17$\sp{\rm th}$, 18$\sp{\rm th}$ and 19$\sp{\rm th}$ centuries as well as contemporary case-law and legislation.

description: Seven universities of Hamburg and the Hamburg Ministry of Science, Research and Equality started in 2018 the program “Hamburg Open Science”. It includes four subprojects: Open Access Publications, Research Information System (CRIS), Research Data Management and Digital Cultural Change. The goal for CRIS subproject is the development of a uniform structure regarding quality and differentiation of research information within the Hamburg universities. In Hamburg PURE is already running at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) since 2014 and is going live at University Hamburg in 2018. The Hamburg University of Technology is using DSpace-CRIS Version 5 for an Open Access Repository and is going to extend the system as a full featured CRIS in summer 2018. This prototype of DSpace-CRIS will be evaluated by the other universities of Hamburg to decide about the CRIS implementation for their organisation. Advantages and missing features and the user interface of version 5 of DSpace-CRIS as a CRIS for Hamburg universities will be discussed on the background of 5 years PURE implementation at UKE.
Managing scientists for entrepreneurship: sociological ambivalence, diversity, and scientific ethos in the public sector
Creators: name: Ho, Marcus

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Recent work examining entrepreneurial scientists demonstrate that different conceptualizations and types exist (Lam, 2010, Louis et al., 1989). The diversity of scientific types suggests that there are a range of adaptive and engagement strategies that scientists employ within these knowledge regimes (Bercovitz and Feldman, 2008, Lam, 2010). This study systematically examines how individual orientations of scientists are mediated by its institutional and organizational contexts and the management strategies of these organizations in response to the rhetoric of new public management for entrepreneurship and commercial outcomes (Cartner and Bollinger, 1997, Luke et al., 2008).

description: Im Rahmen des Programms Hamburg Open Science (HOS) sollten 2018 prototypisch jeweils zwei verschiedene Forschungsdatenrepositorien und Forschungsinformationssysteme entwickelt werden, die ab 2019 wahlweise von Hamburger Hochschulen übernommen werden sollen. Die TU Hamburg betreibt ihr Open Access Repositorium seit 2017 mit der Software DSpace-CRIS. Für HOS wurde diese Softwarebasis prototypisch mit Funktionen für die Speicherung von Forschungsdaten und die Abbildung eines Forschungsinformationssystems erweitert. Damit soll insbesondere für kleinere Hochschulen geprüft werden können, ob ein einzelnes DSpace-System für alle drei Anwendungszwecke sinnvoll eingesetzt werden kann. In der Präsentation auf dem DSpace-Anwendertreffen 2018 wurde der aktuelle Projektstand vorgestellt.
