Financial Instability: Is Regionalism The Answer?, Marco Vasconi Jun 2007

Financial Instability: Is Regionalism The Answer?, Marco Vasconi

Archived Theses and Dissertations

Since the end of World War II there has been a nearly universal trend toward regionalism, best represented by the European case and the rise of more than one hundred other regional agreements. This tendency, however, has experienced a particularly steep increase since the 1980s due to significant political and economic developments. The rise of economic and more importantly financial globalization fostered by impressive technological progress is regarded as one of the key factors in bringing about this new wave of regionalism, as it has raised a number of questions regarding governance, negative effects of financial instability and possible responses …

The Quest For Help, Sarah Abdel-Wahab Jun 2007

The Quest For Help, Sarah Abdel-Wahab

Archived Theses and Dissertations

The main argument of this exploratory study stems from the claim that individuals with impairments of any kind either mental or physical "are disabled by a society that excludes, disadvantages and discriminates against them" (UPIAS,1976). Abberely (1987) argues that the experiences of disabled people are specific to culture, and changes with time. From this perspective disability should not be seen as being naturally found in individuals, but as being defined and shaped by social, cultural and political conditions.

Utilization Of Thermopolastic Rejects With Different Reinforcing Elements In The Production Of Manhole Covers, Lama Mosad El Hatow

Archived Theses and Dissertations

This thesis aims to investigate the potential usage of rejected non-recyclable contaminated plastic rejects with different reinforcing elements to produce a viable product such as a manhole cover. Contaminated plastic rejects are generally deemed unrecyclable due to the cost and effort, including money, water, energy associated with cleaning the product in order to recycle it. By recycling these contaminated plastic rejects as is and reinforcing it with different reinforcing elements, we can enhance the mechanical properties of the material to enable it to be used as a viable, durable product such as a manhole cover.
