(2020)This thesis examines the rise and fall of trade unionism in Western Australia’s Pilbara iron ore industry from 1965 to 1999, and its consequences for today. The Marxist theory of the trade union bureaucracy and rank and ...
-
(2021)The study introduces a novel framework that combines conceptual, hydrological and statistical models to study water resources on short-term and long-term scales. It improves the performance of a common conceptual model ...
-
(2020)The use of molecules as active components in electronic devices is a trend in current electronics and a potential alternative to the semiconductor-based nanoelectronics. This thesis provides a step forward in terms of ...
-
(2021)Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a metal-free photocatalyst is a prevalent photocatalyst used for visible light driven catalysis. This thesis focuses on synthesis and characterization of layered g-C3N4 based materials ...
-
(2021)This study examines the impact of constructive alignment on the development of accounting students’ technical and non-technical competencies. The study uses a counterbalancing two-phase mixed-methods experimental design. ...
