A comparison of the effects of grazing and mining on vegetation of selected parts of northern South Australia

Badman, Francis John. January 2002 (has links) (PDF)
Accompanying CD-ROM inside back cover, includes Appendices. Bibliography: leaves 242-266. This thesis examines the effects on vegetation at selected sites in northern South Australia of excluding various herbivores over a four and a half year period and of two intense but controlled grazing pulses over a six month period followed by an 18 month recovery period in a dune-swale land system. These changes are compared with changes recorded over an 11-year period at the Olympic Dam mine site. It found that short-term changes in vegetation revealed by ordination of periodical cover, density and species richness, are attributable to the periodicity of rainfall and that, under present grazing regimes, rainfall effects override grazing effects. Differences between the effects of sheep and cattle hoof damage are worthy of further investigation, as is the impact of kangaroo grazing. These two factors may have important implications for the management of Australian rangelands. System requirements for accompanying CD-ROM: IBM compatible computer with Pentium processor or higher and Windows 95, 98 or NT ; 4 MB or RAM. Other software: Acrobat Adobe Reader.

Les facteurs contribuant à la réussite scolaire chez les adolescentes des lycées et collèges du Logone et Chari dans la région de l'Extrême-Nord / Cameroun / Factors contributing to academic success among adolescent girls in high schools and colleges of the Logone and Chari division in the region of the Extreme-North / Cameroun

Mahamat, Alhadji 30 January 2013 (has links)
La présente étude traite de la problématique de la réussite scolaire chez les adolescentes âgées de 13 à 18 ans des lycées et collèges du département du Logone et Chari dans la région de l’Extrême-nord du Cameroun. Les filles de cette région font face à un certain nombre de difficultés liées à leur environnement, tant familial que scolaire, ainsi qu’à leurs propres attitudes qui compromettent leurs études. En dépit de ces écueils, certaines adolescentes réussissent à passer en classe supérieure avec des moyennes élevées et à décrocher leurs diplômes. Notre objectif en abordant cette recherche est d’étudier l’influence des facteurs personnels, familiaux et scolaires sur la réussite scolaire des adolescentes. En effet, nous nous sommes posé une question fondamentale, à savoir : quels sont les facteurs personnels, familiaux et scolaires qui prédisent le plus la réussite scolaire chez les adolescentes des lycées et collèges du département du Logone et Chari ? Pour répondre à cette préoccupation, quatre hypothèses nous ont guidé notamment une hypothèse générale intitulée « des facteurs personnels, familiaux et scolaires prédisent le plus la réussite scolaire chez les adolescentes des lycées et collèges d’enseignement général et technique, publics et privés du département du Logone et Chari », et trois hypothèses spécifiques : « les aspirations élevées contribuent à la réussite scolaire chez les adolescentes » ; « les attitudes éducatives parentales positives encouragent la réussite scolaire des adolescentes » et « les attitudes et les pratiques éducatives encourageantes des enseignants expliquent la réussite scolaire chez les adolescentes ». Trois questionnaires préalablement validés ont été administrés à un échantillon de 1031 adolescentes des lycées et collèges, de 1010 parents d’élèves, de 180 enseignants et 36 entretiens ont été conduits auprès de « femmes/filles sorties de l’école après y avoir réussi ». L’analyse des résultats a montré qu’il existe des corrélations significatives entre les différents facteurs personnels, familiaux et scolaires et la réussite scolaire chez les adolescentes. Nous avons suggéré quelques recommandations aux responsables du ministère des enseignements secondaires, aux parents et aux enseignants pour une meilleure implication des uns et des autres dans la réussite scolaire des adolescentes. Enfin, des propositions des recherches complémentaires ont été suggérées dans l’optique de pallier les limites mentionnées à la présente étude / This study focuses on the problem of the school success of the teenage girls between the ages of 13-18 in the secondary and high schools of the Logone and Chari division, in the far-north region of Cameroon. Girls in this region face a number of problems related to their environment, family as well as academic due to their attitude which affect their studies. Inspite of these difficulties some young girls succeed in their studies. Our aim is to study the influence of individual, family and school factors on the school performance of the girl child. In effect we have raised one fundamental question in order to know: what are the individual, family and school factors which have to do with the teenage girl which determine their school success? In answering these question, the following hypotheses guided us: a main hypothese entitles “personal, family and school factors favour school success among the teenage girls in government and private secondary and high school both general and technical of Logone and Chari division” and tree specific hypotheses: “high aspirations contributed to school success among teenage girls”; “the attitudes and parental positives educational encourage school success of teenage girls” and “the attitudes and positives educational practices of teachers explain school success among teenage girls”. Tree questionnaires and a pilotated interview guide were administrated to a sample of 1031 teenage girls of secondary and high school, 1010 parents of students, 180 teachers and 36 “women/girls who succeeded in school before leaving”. The analysis of results showed that there are significant correlations among individual, family and school success factors and the school success teenage girls. In conclusion, we made some suggestions on areas of intervention to the hierarchy of the ministry of secondary education, to parents and to teachers in order to involve each of them in the school success of girls and make them more resilient. At the end some proposal, for further researches were made with the view to amend the limits of research

Learning Land and Life: An Institutional Ethnography of Land Use Planning and Development in a Northern Ontario First Nation

Gruner, Sheila 16 November 2012 (has links)
This study examines intricately related questions of consciousness and learning, textually-mediated social coordination, and human relationships within nature, anchored in the everyday life practices and concerns of a remote First Nation community in the Treaty 9 region. Through the use of Institutional Ethnography, community-based research and narrative methods, the research traces how the ruling relations of land use planning unfold within the contemporary period of neoliberal development in Northern Ontario. People’s everyday experiences and access to land in the Mushkego Inninowuk (Swampy Cree) community of Fort Albany for example, are shaped in ways that become oriented to provincial ruling relations, while people also reorient these relations on their own terms through the activities of a community research project and through historically advanced Indigenous ways of being. The study examines the coordinating effects of provincially-driven land use planning on communities and territories in Treaty 9, as people in local sites are coordinated to others elsewhere in a complex process that serves to produce the legislative process called Bill 191 or the Far North Act. Examining texts, ideology and dialectical historical materialist relations, the study is an involved inquiry into the text process itself and how it comes to be put together. The textually mediated and institutional forms of organizing social relations—effectively land relations—unfold with the involvement of people from specific sites and social locations whose work is coordinated, as it centres on environmental protection and development in the region north of the 51st parallel. A critique of the textually mediated institutional process provides a rich site for exploring learning within the context of neoliberal capitalist relations and serves to illuminate ways in which people can better act to change the problematic relations that haunt settler-Indigenous history in the contemporary period. The work asks all people involved in the North how we can work to address historic injustices rooted in the relations and practices of accumulation and dispossession. The voices and modes of governance of Aboriginal people, obfuscated within the processes and relations of provincial planning, must be afforded the space and recognition to flourish on their own terms.
