A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulr.Ilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science McMASTER UNIVERSITY ©Copyright by Gino Valentino Limmon, June 1996 MASTER OF SCIENCE (1996) McMaster University (Geology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: An Assessment of Coral Reefs in Ambon, Indonesia. AUTHOR: Gino Valentino Limmon, B. Sc. (Hasanuddin University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Michael J. Risk NUMBER OF PAGES: x, 80 ii ABSTRACT Increasing human activity and population pressure on coastal marine resources, especially coral reefs, in Ambon have caused significant stresses on coral communities requiring careful management. A suitable environmental management strategy for this complex ecosystem, however, must be based on an accurate assessment of the state of these resources, natural variability, and the impact of human activities. Consequently, baseline research is needed to describe reef areas and to provide data about environmental changes. One control site (Tanjung Setan) and three affected sites (Hila, Wayame and Wailiha) on Ambon were observed to assess the condition ofthe reefs. Coral cover, coral growth rate, species richness and environmental parameters such as suspended particulate matter (SPM), resuspended sediment, salinity, temperature, dissolved nutrients (N03 and P04), <5 1 ~, and water clarity were measured to assess reef condition and to determine the possible causes of reefdegradation. Average coral cover in the control site (Tanjung Setan) is higher (64%) than that in affected sites: Hila (27%), Wayame (36%) and Wailiha (11%).

The Hila Prospect, near Hila village on Ambon Island, contains copper sulfide minerals in 4.4 Ma Ambon volcanic rocks. The host rocks consist of andesite, dacites, breccia and tuff locally intruded by biotite and biotite-cordierite granite. Pyrite- and chalcopyrite- bearing quartz veinlets and hydrothermal breccias in altered, and locally brecciated, andesites crop out over a 1 km distance in one drainage. The altered andesites contain quartz, sericite, disseminated pyrite and locally chalcopyrite. Analyses of four grab samples contain up to 0.014 ppm Au, 530 ppm Zn and 1550 ppm Cu.

  • The Phd and the Degree Structure of South African Higher Education: a Brief and Rough Guide
    The PhD and the degree structure of South African higher education: A brief and rough guide [Presented at the CHET seminar 'Knowledge Production in South African Higher Education' on 23 February 2012] While the PhD has come to be generally known as the highest qualification offered in higher education it by no means always has the same connotation or a universal significance. Depending on the historical trajectory and degree structure of the higher education system concerned the PhD can radically differ in content, status and function. Doctoral qualifications have a long history; significantly, though, the PhD was not always considered to be either the pinnacle or supreme benchmark of higher education. In the Oxbridge tradition of teaching universities, for example, the PhD long had a marginal function and a somewhat dubious status. The increasing prominence of the PhD was closely associated with the rise of the German and American model of the research university since the late 19th century. Even so, it should also be noted that European higher degree systems traditionally differentiated between two types of terminal qualifications: the ‘research doctorate’ as distinct from the (professional) Habilitation in Germany, the doctorandus (drs) as distinct from the doctor (dr) in the Netherlands, the different categories of (research) doctorates in France etc. On closer examination it also transpires that in the US, too, the research PhD or doctoral program is by no means the only trajectory to a terminal higher education qualification.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • Childbearing in Japanese Society: Traditional Beliefs and Contemporary Practices
    Childbearing in Japanese Society: Traditional Beliefs and Contemporary Practices by Gunnella Thorgeirsdottir A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences School of East Asian Studies August 2014 ii iii iv Abstract In recent years there has been an oft-held assumption as to the decline of traditions as well as folk belief amidst the technological modern age. The current thesis seeks to bring to light the various rituals, traditions and beliefs surrounding pregnancy in Japanese society, arguing that, although changed, they are still very much alive and a large part of the pregnancy experience. Current perception and ideas were gathered through a series of in depth interviews with 31 Japanese females of varying ages and socio-cultural backgrounds. These current perceptions were then compared to and contrasted with historical data of a folkloristic nature, seeking to highlight developments and seek out continuities. This was done within the theoretical framework of the liminal nature of that which is betwixt and between as set forth by Victor Turner, as well as theories set forth by Mary Douglas and her ideas of the polluting element of the liminal. It quickly became obvious that the beliefs were still strong having though developed from a person-to- person communication and into a set of knowledge aquired by the mother largely from books, magazines and or offline. v vi Acknowledgements This thesis would never have been written had it not been for the endless assistance, patience and good will of a good number of people.
