Disciplining recreation in colonial South Australia: constraints, controls and conventions.Molyneux, Denis January 2010 (has links)
The last four decades of the nineteenth century witnessed a significant growth of leisure hours for a growing number of South Australians, particularly working class males; it was accompanied by an upsurge in both organised and informal recreation activity. The upsurge owed much to major advances in communication during the period – in transport by rail, steamship and late in the century, the bicycle, to the network of telegraph stations which by the mid 1870s, spanned much of the colony, the country and finally linked the colony to much of the wider world, and to the growth of local and daily newspapers and specialist journals. Industry, government and commerce drove these advances, but recreation benefited from all of them and came to be a major element of commercial activity itself, as some activities generated not only participants, but spectators and audiences. These developments in turn stimulated a demand for facilities, both indoor and outdoor, which came to be met by private groups, public authorities and commercial operators, or combinations of the three. However, not all sections of the South Australian community looked favourably on aspects of these developments. Some social, religious and political forces, both separately and later as an alliance, combined to target elements of the recreation activities which emerged within the new leisure, particularly those of the working classes. They feared a return to public disorder arising from unseemly and licentious behaviour which accompanied many of the activities of the occasional pre-industrial seasonal leisure periods. These forces drew on contemporary programs in America and Britain in their campaign to quell ‘social evils’ including intemperance, gambling and what they regarded as inappropriate behaviour on Sundays, the Lord’s Day. They advocated the uses of statutes to constrain, if not eliminate what many in the community regarded as acceptable recreational activity. Others from the reforming forces determined on ‘rationalising’ the recreation of the working classes by introducing programs which they regarded as educational and self-improving, based essentially on their own middle class experience. A further restraint were contemporary conventions which determined matters of dress, conduct and behavioural expectations affecting areas of recreational activities; they were particularly severe on women. Other conventions affected full participation by men in a small number of sporting activities. The thesis examines the origin, nature and conduct of these forces in South Australia each of which sought to discipline aspects of mainly working class recreation of the period. It concludes with an assessment of the outcomes as they appeared at the time of Federation. / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of Adelaide, School of History and Politics, 2010

POST BUCKLING RESPONSE OF SWAY COLUMNS UNDER MECHANICAL AND THERMAL (FIRE) LOADSShrestha, Sujan 01 May 2015 (has links)
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sujan Shrestha, for the Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering, presented on March 3, 2015, at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. TITLE: POST BUCKLING RESPONSE OF SWAY COLUMNS UNDER MECHANICAL AND THERMAL (FIRE) LOADS MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Aslam Kassimali, Ph.D. The post-buckling response of sway columns under mechanical and thermal loadings are presented by using the geometrical nonlinear analysis. For thermal analysis, the columns are assumed to be fully restrained in their axial directions. The method of analysis uses Beam-Column theory which is based on an Eulerian (corotational) formulation. Numerical solutions are shown for the post-buckling response of sway columns. The numerical investigations of the geometrically nonlinear analysis of sway columns were carried out with three different boundary conditions of sway columns as suggested by AISC, under mechanical loading and temperature changes. The sway columns considered are the cases `c', `e' and `f' in Table C-A-7.1 of AISC Manual (2011). These were modeled and analyzed to predict the post-buckling response under the mechanical and thermal loads. Furthermore, for each of these support conditions, the effects of slenderness ratios on the post-buckling response were analyzed by considering the slenderness ratios of 50,125 and 200. Also, the effects on post-buckling strength were observed keeping the same slenderness ratios but varying rotational end conditions of sway columns. Many useful conclusions can be drawn from this study. The more important conclusions are: 1) As all unrestrained sway columns undergo excessive deformation under mechanical loading, they do not possess significant post-buckling strength once the loading reaches the buckling load. 2) All restrained sway columns undergo much smaller deformations under thermal loading as compared to mechanical loading; thus significant post-buckling strength is achieved even after reaching the buckling temperature. This post-buckling strength can be considered during the design of structures which will aid in safe and economical structures. 3) Slenderness ratios play an important role on post-buckling strength only in thermal analysis but not in mechanical analysis. Increase in slenderness ratio tends to decrease the post-buckling relative deformation of the columns under thermal loading but has no such effect under mechanical loading. 4) Rotational end conditions also play significant role on post-buckling strength during thermal analysis but not during mechanical analysis. Keeping the slenderness ratio constant and varying the rotational end conditions, the post-buckling strength of all sway columns remains same under mechanical loading but is different under thermal loading.

Co jsou Leisure Studies? / What Is Leisure Studies?SATTRAN, Jan January 2014 (has links)
This thesis describes Leisure Studies - a science concerning leisure developed mainly in English speaking countries. It provides an overview of the organisation structure of this discipline in terms of associations and university syllabuses as well as major journals and outstanding monographs. Different ways of defining and attitudes towards the phenomenon of leisure together with brief history of this discipline are also brought out. It also deals with the current topics of Leisure Studies, chosen and based on the author´s own empirical research, namely experts questioning and a key words study throughout the most distinguished relevant journals Leisure Studies, Leisure Sciences and Journal of Leisure Research. The most significant topics identified in this thesis are as follows: sociological and psychological definition of Leisure, its history, paradox, limitations of experiencing leisure, the relation of genders and leisure, leisure facilities and their ecological and economic prospects, sports, body and health and leisure education. In conclusion the author considers the relation of Leisure Studies and Leisure Time Education.

Robustness of reinforced concrete framed building at elevated temperaturesLee, Seungjea January 2016 (has links)
This thesis presents the results of a research programme to investigate the behaviour and robustness of reinforced concrete (RC) frames in fire. The research was carried out through numerical simulations using the commercial finite element analysis package TNO DIANA. The main focus of the project is the large deflection behaviour of restrained reinforced concrete beams, in particular the development of catenary action, because this behaviour is the most important factor that influences the frame response under accidental loading. This research includes four main parts as follows: (1) validation of the simulation model; (2) behaviour of axially and rotationally restrained RC beams at elevated temperatures; (3) derivation of an analytical method to estimate the key quantities of restrained RC beam behaviour at elevated temperatures; (4) response and robustness of RC frame structures with different extents of damage at elevated temperatures. The analytical method has been developed to estimate the following three quantities: when the axial compression force in the restrained beam reaches the maximum; when the RC beams reach bending limits (axial force = 0) and when the beams finally fail. To estimate the time to failure, which is initiated by the fracture of reinforcement steel at the catenary action stage, a regression equation is proposed to calculate the maximum deflections of RC beams, based on an analysis of the reinforcement steel strain distributions at failure for a large number of parametric study results. A comparison between the analytical and simulation results indicates that the analytical method gives reasonably good approximations to the numerical simulation results. Based on the frame simulation results, it has been found that if a member is completely removed from the structure, the structure is unlikely to be able to develop an alternative load carrying mechanism to ensure robustness of the structure. This problem is particularly severe when a corner column is removed. However, it is possible for frames with partially damaged columns to achieve the required robustness in fire, provided the columns still have sufficient resistance to allow the beams to develop some catenary action. This may be possible if the columns are designed as simply supported columns, but have some reserves of strength in the frame due to continuity. Merely increasing the reinforcement steel area or ductility (which is difficult to do) would not be sufficient. However, increasing the cover thickness of the reinforcement steel to slow down the temperature increase is necessary.

Nekonkurenční doložky v soutěžním právu Evropské unie a vybraných členských států. / Non-compete clauses in the competition law of the European Union and selected member states.Klímová, Eva January 2021 (has links)
Non - compete clauses in the competition law of the European union and selected member states This diploma thesis is focused on the use and regulation of non-compete clauses in the competition law of the European Union, the Czech Republic and Great Britain. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the applicable regulation and decision-making practice of the relevant authorities concerning the non-compete clauses in the selected jurisdictions, draw a comparison between them and, at the end of each chapter, make an evaluation to what extent does the relevant practice differ on the level of European law, the law of the Czech Republic or Great Britain. The thesis is mainly dedicated to the use of non-compete clauses in lease and acquisition agreements. The first chapter is focused on the theoretical introduction to the matter, containing a short summary of the fundamental regulation and soft law of the competition authorities. The second chapter is centred around the analysis of decisions concerning the non-compete clauses in lease agreements. The individual decisions are examined and compared at the end of the second chapter. The comparison is made by using the division of the anti-competitive agreements to the categories of "object-type agreements" and "effect-type agreements". The third chapter is concentrates...

Experimental Determination of Required Lateral Restraint Forces for Z-Purlin Supported, Sloped Metal Roof SystemsLee, Spencer Ross 17 July 2001 (has links)
Supplement No. 1 to Section D3.1 of the 1999 AISI Cold-Form Specification contains the current provisions for predicting required lateral restraint forces in Z-purlin supported, sloped metal roof systems under gravity loads. A proposed prediction equation, relying heavily on engineering principles, has been developed because the current provisions in the specification are empirical and based on statistical analysis. The provisions treat roof slope and system effects incorrectly, which necessitates refinement. Also, an assumed roof panel stiffness value was used for the development of the current design provisions, ignoring the effect that varying stiffness values have on the required restraint forces. To determine the validity of the new restraint force prediction equation, experimental testing was conducted on single span and multiple span metal roof systems. Z-purlins were used extensively with through-fastened and standing seam roof panel. Two, four, and six purlin lines were used for the single span tests while only four purlin lines were used for the multiple span tests. Restraint forces were measured at five restraint locations in each span: support, third-point, midpoint, quarter-point, and third-point plus support. Each restraint configuration was tested at six roof slopes: 0:12, 0.5:12, 1:12, 2:12, 3:12, and 4:12. For each restraint configuration and roof slope, the restraint forces were measured and compared to predicted forces using the proposed design equation. The proposed equation contains the term "δ" which is the resultant eccentricity of the applied gravity load acting on the top flange of a purlin. A value of 1/3 was assumed for d in the development of the proposed equation and many of the test results were in agreement with this value. However, other results were in better agreement with a value of 0 for d and some of the measured forces were between the predicted forces with d = 0 and d = 1/3. No consistent correlation between the results and the proposed prediction equation was found. / Master of Science

Vertikální integrace a vertikální omezení: Případ automobilového průmyslu. / Vertical integration and vertical restraints - The Case of the Czech manufacturing industryHronza, Martin January 2011 (has links)
Diploma thesis "Vertical integration and vertical restraints - The Case of the Czech manufacturing industry" deals with the empirical examination of the influence of the degree of vertical integration on the productivity of Czech firms in the manufacturing industry and is focused on some aspects of the automotive industry during the period 1998 -- 2007. At the theoretical level the work deals with determinants of vertical integration and vertical restraints, both on an individual level and also in terms of social welfare. The results of the analysis show the existence of the negative relationship between the degree of vertical integration and the productivity of companies in the manufacturing sector. Examination of the automotive industry showed reduction of the output gap between domestic and foreign firms.
