Little, Ben. "Comic books, politics and readers : the influence of the 2000AD group of comics creators on the formation of Anglo-American comics culture." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2011. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/8089/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis accounts for the influence on the mainstream American comic book industry of a group of comics creators from the cult British science fiction magazine 2000AD in the early 1980s. It details the way in which these creators developed new methods for approaching politics in comic books and delivering that to a more diverse group of readers as a response to censorship in Britain of the boys magazine Action. The thesis looks at the way the medium's publishing history has interacted with the development of its modes of communication; in particular it explores how the reader in comics is positioned in relation to character and narrative development. To support this argument two chapters are devoted to the methodology and discussion of how the medium works. Comics consist of sequences of images that require reader input to produce a narrative. The chapters on form explore the implications this has for close analysis. These chapters use Hergé's iconic character Tintin and Grant Morrison and Chas Truog's surreal Animal Man: Deus Ex Machina as examples and draw upon and critique the theoretical work of Scott McCloud and Thierry Groensteen, among others. The core of the thesis revolves around close analysis of eight texts, three from the UK and five from the USA. These are grouped into categories that broadly represent the different phases of the phenomenon. The first includes John Wagner, Alan Grant and Ian Gibson's RoboHunter: Play It Again Sam; Alan Moore and Ian Gibson's The Ballad of Halo Jones and Alan Moore and David Lloyd's V for Vendetta. These readings are then tested against roughly contemporary American published comics in the form of Chris Claremont and John Byrne's X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga and Frank Miller's Daredevil before looking at Alan Moore, Steve Bissette and John Totleben's Saga of The Swamp Thing as a direct transferral of values developed on 2000AD to the American market. The thesis then moves on to consider how British creators influenced American comics moving forward by looking at an example that was clearly influenced by the movement in Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns again using his earlier comic Ronin for comparison. Throughout the thesis these readings are used to show how these comics imagined new political configurations in response to the right-wing politics of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan and attempted to do so while engaging a more diverse readership than was previously the case in either the British or American adventure comics mainstream. The thesis as a whole advances comics studies in terms of contributing to theoretical work on how the medium communicates and by providing a detailed look at this period in the history of comics. It also contributes to a framework for future research in cultural studies to approach different aspects of the medium.

Full textAbstract:
During the 1910s, there was an increasing concerted effort on the part of Canadian artists to create art and literature which would affirm Canada's sense of nationhood and modernity. Although in agreement that Canada desperately required its own culture, the Canadian artistic community was divided on what Canadian culture ought to be. For the majority of Canadian painters, writers, critics and readers, the future of the Canadian arts, especially poetry and painting, lay in Canada's past. These cultural conservatives championed art which mirrored its European and Canadian predecessors. Their domination of the arts left little room for the progressive minority, who rebelled against prevailing artistic standards. In painting, the Group of Seven was one of the first groups to challenge this stranglehold on Canadian culture. The Group waged a protracted and vocal campaign for the advancement of Canadian approaches and subjects. In literature, A. J. M. Smith and F. R. Scott began a similar movement to modernize Canadian poetry and reform critical standards. By examining the poetry, essays, criticism and archival material of these poets and painters, the thesis establishes strong parallels between the modernist campaigns of these two groups and investigates this cross-fertilization between the modern Canadian arts.

Fletcher, Allan John. "Industrial Algoma and the myth of wilderness : Algoma landscapes and the emergence of the Group of Seven, 1918-1920." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1989. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/28221.
Full textAbstract:
In the summer of 1988, casting around for a thesis topic, I chanced on some photographs which stunned me. They were pictures of various sites in the Algoma territory, a region which up to that time I, like many Canadians, knew only from idyllic paintings by J. E. H. MacDonald and other members of the Group of Seven. The discrepancy between the two sets of images was startling. What the camera revealed: railyards, dockyards, cities and towns, dammed rivers, cavernous mines, mountains of slag, razed forests, huge smelters and gigantic milling operations was in striking contrast to the untouched northern wilderness depicted in works like The Solemn Land.
I felt that art historians had helped foster the illusion that Algoma was (and is) as pure and unsullied as the Group depicted it. My thesis, then, is at its most basic level an attempt to counteract that false impression and inject some balance into the art historical record. It looks at the mythical structures of the north and the wilderness and shifts in their political, social and economic utility in the years just after the Great War and tries to locate Algoma paintings made between 1918 and 1920 within this larger context. The phenomenon of Tom Thomson, the archetype of the "bush artist" is considered as are issues of private and institutional patronage. Actual and potential audiences for Algoma art are examined, and a number of texts, promotional and critical are discussed. In the final chapter, four paintings, three by J. E. H. MacDonald and one by Frank H. Johnston are investigated and related to what I see as the primary task of much artistic production at this time—to harmonize Canadian culture with country's accelerating transition to a branch-plant economy.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The elaboration in recent cultural and art historical texts of Northrop Frye's assessment of Canadian literature (as articulated in his "Conclusion" to A Literary History of Canada and elsewhere) demonstrates that such concepts as "garrison mentality" and "where is here?" persist in the discourse of English-Canadian cultural studies. One result is the insistence upon regarding representations of land in early twentieth-century artistic endeavours as the manifestation of a colonial response and refusal to accommodate place. Another result is the perception that artists of the early twentieth century were attached to the imperial centre, situated outside the borders of the country, "over there." The work of Ralph Connor, Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, and Emily Carr demonstrates that Frye's and other critical assessments have been too prescriptive: even if these artists employed some European or Old World conventions, they insisted upon Canada's difference from the imperial centre and were proud of that difference. A re-examination of their work demonstrates how they employed land in the construction of national-identity and believed it to be a benevolent rather than hostile force, a source of a spiritual and transcendent experience that resulted in the conversion to Canadian-ness.

Wender, Bryan William. "The impacts of seven silvicultural alternatives on vascular plant community composition, structure, and diversity in the southern Appalachians." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 2000. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/35653.
Full textAbstract:
The effects of seven silvicultural prescriptions were examined one full growing season post-treatment on five sites in the Ridge and Valley, Cumberland Plateau, and Allegheny Plateau of Virginia and West Virginia. Prescriptions were (1) control, (2) understory control with herbicide, (3) group selection, (4) high-leave shelterwood, (5) low-leave shelterwood, (6) leave tree, and (7) clearcut. The effects of each treatment on the vascular plant community were characterized by changes in species diversity, species composition, exotic species richness, Raunkiaer's life-forms, and growth-forms. Pre-treatment, baseline data, and a randomized block design ensured the precision of post-treatment comparisons. High-disturbance treatments (i.e., low-leave shelterwood, leave tree, clearcut) exhibited lower tree-stratum species richness than unharvested treatments. Prescriptions had no effect on shrub-stratum richness. Compared to the control, woody, herb-stratum richness was higher in harvested treatments. Non-woody herb-stratum richness was unaffected. No differences in herb-stratum species diversity were detected using Shannon's (exp H') or Simpson's (1/D) indices. Non-woody species richness per 2-ha treatment plot was significantly higher than the control for high-disturbance treatments. Pre- vs. post-treatment species composition was least similar for high-disturbance treatments, as measured by qualitative and quantitative community similarity indices. Exotic woody species richness was unaffected by treatment; however, non-woody exotic species were more prevalent in high-disturbance treatments. Hemicrytophytes replaced phanerophytes as the most important life-form for harvested treatments. Therophytes were more important in harvested treatments, while the proportion of cryptophtes and chamaephytes did not change in response to treatments. Tree and shrub growth-forms were less dominant in harvested treatments, while graminoids and annual/biennial forbs were more important for high-disturbance treatments. These data represent only the initial results of a long-term study designed to examine plant-community response to silviculture for one harvest rotation length. Long-term results will aid in devising management strategies that address concerns for biodiversity without devaluing traditional resource demands.Master of Science

Barakat, Fadwa. "Designing inclusivity : reconstructing the meaning of the seven pointed star symbol in the Jordanian flag through design thinking." Thesis, University of Plymouth, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/9293.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an attempt to explore the Jordanian community of today with its multi-ethnic fusion and its social practices that often appear rooted in the past. It is an examination of what possible series of symbols could be formed from a collective view of the diverse ethnicity in Jordan and that could be culturally relevant to the seven-pointed star of the Jordanian flag. This has been an investigation structured around Design Thinking processes using a mixture of qualitative methods integrated with a social science methodology. The qualitative data collection methods involved close contact between the research participants and the author in such a way that emergent topics could be explored. Accordingly, the first major practical contribution of the research provided a series of prototypes that established ‘terminologies’ that were discovered, evaluated and reflected upon through design processes and supporting documentation. This was followed by a testing stage designed to show the cultural diversity and acceptability of both the symbols/ and the final artefacts. Three main tests were conducted in 2016: 1. Semi-structured interviews with participants selected at random from seven different ethnic groups according to country of origin. 2. Public exhibitions in Jordan and Plymouth with audiences from diverse research backgrounds (e.g. users or consumers of designs). 3. A workshop with Jordanian designers (students and practitioners). The methodology adopted during each test included the sharing of the author’s work and personal experiences and invited feedback that could be used to validate and build on the Research Question. The stories and discourse produced a wide array of social patterns that are referred to as ‘findings’. The results emphasised a relationship between social communal values and the historic stories related by the participants. It was hoped that by having the opportunity to involve users throughout the process and by discussing open-ended questions, that the most objective valuations possible would be achieved. However, a deficiency occurred during the process of testing prototypes, which had the effect of decreasing the reliability of the test. It also emerged that correlating all the data proved more difficult to produce answers as accurately and consistently as possible. Subsequently the author is proposing a number of follow-on design research methodologies, investigating and exploring further the significant values embodied in the Jordanian flag. Namely: Faith in one God Humanity Humility National spirit Virtue Social justice Aspiration Despite these difficulties, however, this research-based activity proved to be an invaluable achievement in terms of personal practice and recorded data as a result of testing the open ended-questions and demonstrated the ability to produce design documentation with its own unique features.

Full textAbstract:
The vegetation responses to seven silvicultural treatments one growing season after harvesting were examined on seven sites in the southern Appalachian mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. Treatments included: 1) control, 2) understory control by herbicide, 3) group selection, 4) high-leave shelterwood, 5) low-leave shelterwood, 6) leave tree, and 7) clearcut. The effects of harvesting were compared between treatments and between pre-harvest and post-harvest samplings. Species richness, percent cover, and local species extinctions were calculated for sample plots ranging in size from 1m2 to 2 ha. Vegetation richness and cover increased with increasing harvest intensity. Local species extinctions were similar in the control and disturbed treatments. Additional analyses were performed using the control, high-leave shelterwood, and clearcut on five of the seven sites to determine the relationships between soil, litter, and other environmental characteristics and vegetation in the herbaceous layer (<1 m in height). Multivariate analysis techniques were used to analyze average differences in species abundance between pre-harvest and post-harvest and to relate post-harvest vegetation to microsite characteristics. Regional-scale differences in site location were more important in explaining the presence of a species than were environmental characteristics. Within a region, species primarily were distributed along a light/litter weight gradient and secondarily along a soil properties and nutrient gradient.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the current diagnostic label for children and adults presenting with significant problems with attention, impulsivity and excessive activity is one of the most prevalent childhood psychiatric disorders (Barkley, 2014:3). This qualitative research study, situated at a school for children with ADHD, explores how involvement in Group Creative Music Therapy can promote social skills in six and seven year old children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Four weekly music therapy sessions were conducted with one class consisting of 10 students in the second grade. The class teacher was interviewed prior to and after the music therapy process and attended all music therapy sessions. An interesting component of this research was that the teacher was a music teacher who already had a wealth of experience of using music in her own life and with her classroom. The research data included interviews as well as video excerpts showing interaction between the children during music therapy sessions.
The findings from the qualitative analysis of interview transcripts and video excerpts indicate firstly the value of music itself as a tool for promoting social skills. There were also many similarities between how the teacher and music therapist used music to benefit children socially, such as exposing the children to music from different cultures or using turn-taking or movement activities to encourage the children to work together. Secondly, this study also highlights the differences between the work of music therapists and music educators. The main differences include the distinctive aims, particularly in this study where the music therapist’s aim was the development of social skills and the teacher’s aim was music education - with social influences as an added benefit to the educational process. Based on their aims, music therapists and music teachers use alternate methods and ways of managing and drawing children in. The findings show how music therapy can influence the development of social skills in children with ADHD - as the music therapist uses specific clinical skills to help children engage freely and spontaneously with others, while also offering them new experiences of themselves and one another. Therefore, the findings also show helpful complementary relationships between music therapists and teachers, as music therapists can help teachers use tools and techniques from music therapy in their classes and teachers can also suggest certain music for therapists to utilise in therapy sessions. This study strongly advocates for both music education and music therapy, as the findings indicate that both fields are beneficial for this client group.Mini Dissertation (MMus)--University of Pretoria, 2016.

Full textAbstract:
Despite high achievement by many Māori (indigenous people of Aotearoa New
Zealand) students there is still a disparity between the achievements of Māori students and Non Māori students in the New Zealand educational context. Given that over 85% of Māori students are currently in mainstream settings rather than Māori medium settings the Government has initiated and supported teacher professional development
approaches in efforts to enhance teacher effectiveness for teachers working with Māori in mainstream settings.
This investigation looks specifically at the practice of four teachers who have been on the Te Kauhua/Māori in Mainstream Pilot project in a decile1 5 Intermediate school in the South Island of New Zealand. An important aspect of this investigation is that it listens to and includes the voices and opinions of eight students who are in the classes of these teachers. Early on in the Te Kauhua project teachers at the school articulated that it was the lack of engagement from their Māori students that was the problem and they wanted to look at ways in which they could maximise Māori student engagement
in the classroom learning contexts.
The particular aim of this investigation was to look at specific strategies and practices that teachers used to successfully maximise Māori student engagement in the classroom curriculum. The results highlighted the importance of the quality of the relationship between the teacher and the students, the positive impact of the extra effort that teachers applied to engage their students and the students’ preferences for working in small groups. Underpinning these aspects of practice was the importance that teachers placed on developing their reflective practice and the participation in small learning professional learning groups.

First, we also use the Tier 1 ratio and subordinated debt as capital regulation specific variables, and then using major shareholder and the Government shareholder ratio as ownership structure specific variables, through multiple regression analysis to test. Empirical results indicate that size, liquidity ratio with the capital structure for the significant positive correlation; however, the total asset growth rate, ROA, loan loss reserves, compared with the capital structure for a significant negative correlation. The relationship between capital regulation and capital structure, when the bank core capital, the higher the rate of its higher Tier 1 ratio, that to ensure the safety of Banking, and then can reduce the debt ratio. In addition, banks will issue subordinated debt to obtain more sources of funds, as the absorb loss reserves, when the bank funds are not sufficient. That‘s also in line with Tier 2 capital ratio, and then can reduce the debt ratio. That implied the relationship between capital adequacy ratio, subordinated debt with capital structure for the negative correlation. Finally, the relationship between ownership structure and capital structure, major shareholders get involved in operational decisions to avoid dilution. In addition, Government owned bank shares, which will make people willing to deposits placed with the high percentage of government ownership of banks.

The purpose of the study is to understand the gender stereotype of the elementary school senior-class female students and explore the influence and effect of discussion group using storybooks and comics as the materials on the gender stereotype of the elementary school female students. The discussion group program is designed and practiced by the researcher. This object of this research is seven female students at an elementary school in Taoyuan county. The study is analyzed in the quality research approach. The following findings emerge from this study: 1. Elementary school senior-class female students generally have gender stereotype. 2. The gender stereotype of the members mostly changed after practicing the discussion group. 3. The members become more aware of gender stereotype, but individual difference exists. 4. The storybooks and comics with cognitive conflicts can improve adjustment of the gender stereotype and increase their critical ability. 5. When the individual identifies the role in the storybooks and comics and put feelings on it, it will be easier to make her break her gender stereotype. 6. It can improve to change gender stereotype through the dialogue and support of the members each other in the discussion group . 7. The members can feel respect and equality through the attitude of the group leader and the atmosphere of the group. 8. Family, teachers, peer groups, and mass media will influence the change of gender stereotype. According to above conclusions, some suggestions are as follows: 1. It can promote multicultural thinking to provide books with cognitive conflicts. 2. Using popular culture as teaching materials can improve students’ critical ability to mass media and increase their interests on learning. 3. It is important to emphasize teachers’ awareness of gender topic. Teachers have to understand the influence of the concept of gender role on themselves. 4. Emphasize the implementation of the parents’ education focus on gender education.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the conflicted relationships between the construction of a national culture
and identity located in landscape painting and the continuing presence of Native art and identity
in Canada in the 1920s. It contends that the first was predicated on the assumed disappearance of
the second. The first of five case studies examines and questions the validation of the Group of
Seven at the imperial centre: the British Empire Exhibitions held at Wembley in 1924 and 1925,
from which Native presence was excluded. The critical responses, collected and republished in
Canada, are analyzed to show the unspoken influences of British landscape traditions, the means
by which Group paintings were used to re-territorialize the nation, and to destabilize the myth of
an essential Canadian national consciousness. The first confrontation between Canadian native
and Native art occurred when a small group of Northwest Coast carvings was included within a
related exhibition in Paris in 1927. The French critical responses validated the Native pieces but
withheld recognition of the Group's works as national and modern. The reviews were collected
but suppressed. The third study examines the work of the American artist Langdon Kihn. He
was employed by the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways to work with the
folklorist/ethnologist Marius Barbeau in producing images of the Stoney in Alberta and Gitksan
in British Columbia. His ambiguous works supported claims to Native presence and cultural
continuity, which ran contrary to repressive government policies, but were critically disciplined
to ensure a message of discontinuity. The fourth investigates a program to restore the poles of
the Gitksan, while changing their meaning to one signifying cultural decrepitude. Gitksan
resistance testified to their agency, cultural continuity and identity. The fifth examines a program
fostered by Barbeau to turn the Gitksan and their poles into the subjects of Canadian painting as
"background" for the emerging nation's identity. This confrontation, which included Jackson,
Carr and others, foregrounded all the problems. The exhibition which resulted in 1927
unsuccessfully attempted to join Canadian native and Native art and effect closure on the
"narration of the nation".

Full textAbstract:
The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased dramatically in Canada in
recent decades. Despite this, treatment services are often limited, and when
available, traditional weight control approaches have been criticized for unrealistic
goals, possible adverse effects, and ultimately lack of long-term success. It is
hypothesized that a group program focused on promoting healthier lifestyle
behaviours for overweight children and their families in a fun, friendly and
supportive. environment aimed at improving eating behaviour, physical activity,
self-efficacy, and self-esteem would be more effective than individual counseling
sessions despite a similar message.
Forty-six children aged seven to 11 years with body mass index > 85th percentile
were randomized with gender stratification to either a group program involving
eight weekly two-hour sessions or a single one hour individual counseling session
with a half-hour follow-up session two months later. Both groups were followed
up 12 months after the initial session. Drop-out was high with only five and
seven children respectively finishing the study, limiting its power. At 12 months,
there were no differences between groups in change in body mass index (BMI) or
triceps skinfold (TSF), although TSF (p=0.012) but not BMI fell in both groups.
Questionnaire-measured physical activity level, self-efficacy and self-esteem did
not differ between groups.
This study concludes that, at least in the short term, a widely-focused group
program for the management of childhood obesity is no better than individual
nutritional counseling sessions with a similar message. Longer term studies are
needed to investigate the effectiveness of a healthful lifestyle approach in
children, irrespective of the mode of delivery.

Full textAbstract:
In 1930, A.Y. Jackson and Lawren S. Harris travelled to the Arctic Archipelago as members of Canada’s Eastern Arctic Patrol. The collaborative venture between the Department of the Interior and the noted Group of Seven artists, which followed Jackson’s 1927 voyage aboard the government patrol, was part of a mutual aim to generate popular interest in the Canadian North through art. This thesis examines the underlying political context of both the 1927 and 1930 collaborative efforts. It examines the government patrols in connection with the promotion of Jackson’s and Harris’s Arctic works as part of a larger process of advancing the Arctic as a Canadian possession during a period of increased foreign interest in the region. Drawing on primary source material as well as various print media reports and exhibition reviews, this study provides insight into how the contemporary framing of Jackson’s and Harris’s Arctic sketches and paintings from the government-supported expeditions—the ways in which the works were discussed and understood—contributed not only to the “imagining” of the Arctic as a Canadian possession, but also to the dissemination of Canadian sovereignty efforts in the North.Thesis (Master, Art History) -- Queen's University, 2012-12-05 15:24:52.546

Full textAbstract:
This study’s research approach shows the foundation of an epistemology that is taken from a postmodern, postfoundationalist theology. The research method is embedded in the narrative approach as established in social constructionism. The research method is also further upheld by the Seven Movements Model of doing research, which in this research also accommodates a participatory action research methodology. This research is a study of the narratives of lay people in a local context. It shows and explores the actions of these people in a situation of care and support. Their local context expresses the journey of people who belong to the same church called the Family Trinity Church in Valhalla, Pretoria. Their backgrounds go back to areas like the Western Cape, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape and are not originally from Pretoria. Their social relationships and church affiliation are compiled from a military background. Their narratives that relate to this research originate from a journey of care and support. The narratives of my co-researchers discovered and recognized different themes as divulged from their stories in conjunction with their experiences. Some of these themes were related to the literature studies as part of the dialogues between interdisciplinary conversations in the process of research. Apart from the telling and re-telling of the stories, literature studies were used to open up a process of a deeper understanding of these narratives. Literature was used to critically discuss the narratives as to give more clarity on the actions of the co-researchers. This research shows an open process of discussions and the input of other thoughts of beliefs and reason as presented by the involvement of the scientific community. The in depth discussions helped to clarify the aim and objectives as proved by the outcomes of this research. The outcome of this research is based on the experiences and the real situation that demonstrates a contextual framework. The narratives and the unique research outcomes clearly support the fact that ordinary laypeople can lead and manage a church without the leadership of a fulltime minister. It shows the important relationship of care and support that transpired in a deepened spirituality, which brought about healing and transformation. The uniqueness of this research is based on the eagerness of people who journeyed with one another in a group and who also directed this kindness to others who did not belong to this group.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2010.
