Abstract:
This study aims to examine critical studies in secondary art and design education; to question its teaching practices, content and purposes, with a view to proposing how these elements might work more critically. A broadly qualitative methodology is adopted, that draws on elements of a number of approaches including action research, interpretivism and naturalistic enquiry that claim to enable understanding of practice from practitioners’ points of view. The study is indebted to Bourdieu’s work; his concepts, including habitus, capital and field are used as ‘tools to think with’ enabling the po

Abstract:
Since the end of the Cold War, there has been a comprehensive challenge to dominant conceptions in Security Studies. Security has been approached as a political phenomenon, resulting from political assumptions and having political effects. The politicization of security has been pursued by a number of so-called ‘critical approaches,’ including ‘security as emancipation.’ The latter argues that security consists in removing or alleviating constraints upon the lives of individuals and groups – such as poverty, ill health, or lack of education.

When a strongly correlated electron system is at the border of magnetic order close to absolute zero, the normal description, in terms of quasiparticle excitations described by Fermi-liquid theory, is predicted to break down.

Such phase transitions, induced by changing some parameter other than temperature in the limit of absolute zero, is called a quantum phase transition.

Abstract:
In my dissertation entitled “The Critical Eye: Re-Viewing 1970s Television,” I argue that TV scholars would benefit greatly by engaging in a more nuanced consideration of the television critic’s industrial position as a key figure of negotiation. As such, critical discourse has often been taken for granted in scholarship without attention to how this discourse may obscure contradictions implicit within the TV industry and the critic’s own identity as both an insider and an outsider to the television business.

This thesis responds to a call to bring humanities into organisation studies. The researcher analyses and interprets contemporary Surrealist paintings for understanding organisational dystopia. While organisational dystopia is not new to the field of Critical Management Studies (CMS), it is a concept enriched by a variety of imaginative stances addressing marginalised or silenced experiences of work life. One such area of imagination is painting. Paintings have historically examined work as a subject of art, yet art has been missed in organisation studies. To address this issue, as well as con

Abstract:
The study of intra-state conflict has increased exponentially during the post-Cold War period. This has given rise to a variety of competing approaches, which have (i) adopted differing methodological and social theoretical orientations, and (ii) produced contradictory accounts of the causes and nature of violent conflict. This project intervenes in the debates which have resulted from this situation, and develops a critical realist approach to conflict studies. In doing so it rethinks the discipline from the philosophical ground up, by extending the ontological and epistemological insights wh

With respect to primordialist approaches to nationalism, it is argued that the main common explanation offered is human biological propensity.

Abstract:
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) virulence depends on a Type-3 Secretion System (T3SS) that transfers many ‘effector’ proteins into human gastrointestinal cells. The components for the effector-delivery apparatus (T3SS and translocator proteins), virulence-critical surface protein (Intimin) and seven effectors (EspG, EspF, Map, EspH, EspZ, Tir, EspB; latter also a translocator) are encoded on the Locus of Enterocyte Effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island. The EspA translocator protein extends the T3SS and is tipped with EspB and EspD which insert into the plasma membrane enabling effect

However, it was not until very recently that scholars focused on the question's validity and reliability as a measure of generalised trust. Besides that these studies' findings are largely contradictory, few of them examine the validity and reliability of the trust data in the Afr
