Abstract:

The present doctoral thesis outlines a new model in psychological aesthetics, named the Information-Load Model. This model asserts that aesthetic appreciation is grounded in the relationship between the amount of information of stimuli and people’s capacity to process this information. This relationship results in information load, which in turn creates emotional responses to stimuli. Aesthetic appreciation corresponds to an optimal degree of information load. Initially, the optimal degree is relatively low. As an individual learns to master information in a domain (e.g., photography), the deg

Abstract:

The contradiction between architecture&rsquo<br>s &ldquo<br>autonomy&rdquo<br>, its existence as an entity with its own &ldquo<br>disciplinary specificity&rdquo<br>- and its social &ldquo<br>engagement&rdquo<br>, its involvement in culture, ideology and economy, has been the subject of numerous discussions in architectural discourse, initially in Europe and later in North America. It is argued in this thesis that although &ldquo<br>autonomy&rdquo<br>and &ldquo<br>engagement&rdquo<br>seem contradictory to each other, architecture&rsquo<br>s &ldquo<br>critical status&rdquo<br>is rooted in this c

Abstract:

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the 9/11 attacks, the landscape of the freedom of religion has changed.

In the light of the new issues that States face in the intersection of religion and societal interest, scholars have criticized the European Court of Human Rights to give too much leeway to the States in determining how the human rights should be implemented, by using the doctrine of margin of appreciation.

Abstract:

In recent decades the canon of environmental aesthetics has expanded beyond its primary concern of understanding what is beautiful in the fine arts to the appreciation of natural and cultural landscapes. Corresponding with society's growing interest in conservation, environmental aesthetics has emerged as relevant to many conservation discussions. The preservation and interpretation of cultural landscapes is complicated by resources that are in a constant state of change. Traditional cultural landscape preservation practices have had mixed results. A focus on interpretation rather than preser

A dynamic inflow model is a powerful tool for predicting the induced velocity distribution over a rotor disc. On account of its closed form and simplicity, the model is highly practical especially for studying flight mechanics and designing control systems for helicopters. However, scant attention has been so far paid to applying this model to analyse autorotative rotors (i.e. rotors in the windmill-brake state), which differ from powered helicopter rotors (i.e. rotors in the normal working state) in that the geometric relation between the inflow and the rotor disc.

Gratitude and indebtedness are construed as separate constructs in recent research.It is hypothesized by this thesis that self-focused attention affects feelings of gratitude and indebtedness. Focusing less attention on the self, thus turning attention resources outward, may allow for the experience of gratitude, whereas focusing inward may create feelings of indebtedness. Two studies examined how focusing one's attention inward may be related to indebtedness, whereas being focused outward may be related to gratitude. A correlational study showed that people who self-focus tend to feel more in
