Some Almost Sure Convergence Results
… chapter of the thesis consists of an almost sure invariance principle for random variables in the Domain of Attraction of a Stable Law. Let {Y,Y(,1),Y(,2),...} be a sequence of i.i.d. symmetric random variables with Y in the domain of attraction of X where X is symmetric and stable of index …

Young children's participation in a Sure Start Children's Centre
… a programme of reform of services for children. Sure Start children's centres were set up as multi-agency settings for children under the age of five and their families. Concomitant with these developments a number of policies converged to give momentum to the notion of children's participation …

A sociological investigation of Sure Start Children's Centres: Understanding parental participation
Sure Start Children’s Centres and their predecessors, the Sure Start Local Programmes, were central to New Labour’s drive to reduce social exclusion through early intervention in the lives of families with young children. Where previous research predominantly focused on the impact and effectiveness …

Constructions of 'gendered agency' : Perspectives from a multi-ethnic Sure Start programme.
… as consensual and motivated by shared interests. Sure Start, an area-based New Labour programme for families with young children can be seen as exemplifying many of these characteristics, and can be viewed also as a 'Third Way' initiative, reflecting in particular, a focus on a 'social investment' …

Approximation of Quantiles of Rank Test Statistics Using Almost Sure Limit Theorems
… coefficient. LQE is derived from an almost sure version of the central limit theorem using the results of Berkes and Csaki (2001), and it estimates the quantiles of a test statistic using only the data. To date, LQE has been used in only a few applications. We extend the use of LQE to three …

“ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?”: ATTITUDINAL EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO ABORTION NARRATIVES
… material and asked to complete a post-exposure questionnaire. Levels of transportation, identification, narrative engagement, and perceptions of credibility were used to determine the effectiveness of narrative modality. Perceptions of credibility were not found to differ depending on …

THE CHALLENGE OF INTERAGENCY INFORMATION SHARING: A SYSTEMIC ANALYSIS OF TWO SURE START CHILDREN'S CENTRES
… of information sharing in two case studies, both Sure Start Children's Centres. The findings confirm assumptions underlying the models proposed in the research. One is that an important dimension, missing from analyses of information sharing thus far, is the appropriateness of the sharing and …

An Evaluation of the Experiences and Perceived Effects of Children using a Local Sure Start Programme
… UK this knowledge contributed to the creation of Sure Start, a national early interventional programme working to promote the development of children through local agencies set in deprived areas over the whole of the country.<br/><br/>This thesis explores the experiences of children and their …

'A sure defence against the foe '? : maritime predation & British commercial policy during the Spanish American Wars of Independence, 1810-1830
… and evaluates the effectiveness of the measures implemented to protect British trade and shipping. A necessary prerequisite for this task is to establish the impact of commerce raiding activity on the British mercantile marine, which has thus far eluded historians. Chapters one and two of …

Are you sure we're talking about the same person? different professional perspectives on a single patient : challenges for an integrative approach within the primary mental health care system
In 1999 a system of placing intern psychologists in primary health care centres was introduced by the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Cape Town. This allowed interns the opportunity of experiencing and evaluating psychiatric services in situ at clinic level within the primary mental …

Stochastic Stability and Nonlinear Control in Mechanical Systems
Almost-sure asymptotic stability of 3 and 4 dimensional co-dimension two dynamical systems under small intensity stochastic excitations is investigated. The method of stochastic averaging is used to derive a set of approximate Ito equations which are then examined to obtain the almost-sure …

Comparison of sars-cov-2 rapid tests and formal serological testing on deceased persons in Cape Town Metro
… This pilot study aimed to explore the use of the Sure Screen COVID- 19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette in a deceased population, and to compare it to the gold- standard antibody tests in South Africa, to determine the most suitable form of antibody testing for post-mortem samples. Thirty cases, with …

Stochastic stability and global bifurcations in gyroscopic mechanical systems
… In the case of random excitation, the almost-sure and moment asymptotic stability of two- and four-dimensional dynamical systems subject to small intensity noise is investigated. The almost-sure stability is defined by the sign of the maximal Lyapunov exponent, the exponential growth rate of …

Photochemical synthesis of dihydroquinolinones and their investigation toward macrocycle synthesis via ring expansion
… such method is the Successive Ring Expansion (SuRE) protocol developed by Unsworth and co-workers at the University of York, offering an innovative and straightforward way to access such compounds. With this methodology, a cyclic starting material such as a lactam, is coupled to a N-protected …

On the pathwise large deviations of stochatic differential and functional differential equations with applications to finance
… martingale inequalities, to determine the almost sure rate of growth of the running maximum of functionals of the solution. The third chapter examines the exact almost sure rate of growth of the large deviations for affine stochastic functional differential equations, and for equations with …
