Abstract:

Broadly speaking, we deal with government activities and their migration-related consequences in this dissertation. There are two parts. The first part examines the influence of social welfare provision on individual demands for immigration. In the second part, we study the impact of tight border control on the incidence of labour exploitation in the migrant smuggling market. In Part 1, we theoretically show that the existence of redistributive welfare programmes reduces the difference between individual demands for immigration by creating a common economic interest among heterogeneous citizen

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to examine gender issues in contemporary sermons. My sample consists of sermons delivered on BBC Radio 4 as part of acts of worship broadcast during 1993-4 which were examined to analyse how language, gender and power intersect to produce these discourses. In order to contextualize this material, chapter one focuses on the history of the sermon and its institutionalisation. Chapter two analyses the preachers’ use of generic terms and their use of the second person plural mode of address. In chapter three, I examine the gendered illustrations offered in the serm

In the first section of this thesis structural brain imaging is presented as a powerful tool for investigating the biological correlates of schizophrenia, thereby informing the ongoing evolution of the concept. The major pathophysiological hypotheses of schizophrenia are discussed from the perspective of structural brain imaging. The contemporary literature is then reviewed before three potential strategies for future structural imaging research are presented: (1) imaginative clinical study design employing carefully selected sub-groups from within the schizophrenic population; (2) adoption of

This thesis explores practical and theoretical issues in interpreting contemporary notated piano music. Interpretative problems and approaches are discussed with a practical bias, using a varied selection of musical sources mostly from the last fifty years. The diversity of compositional styles and methods over this period is reflected in the diversity of interpretative approaches discussed throughout this thesis. A feature of the thesis is that no single interpretative method is championed; instead, different approaches are evaluated to highlight their benefits to interpretation, as well as t

Since the beginning of the process of economic reform and the introduction of the “Open Door Policy” in 1978, the People’s Republic of China has made remarkable progress in introducing competition to most sectors of its economy. Furthermore, during this transitional period, the enactment of industrial policies and foreign direct investment have played a key role in reshaping Chinese industrial structure and favouring the development of competition policy and law.

This thesis is based on an empirical study of forty-three contemporary women artists. The aim of this research was to explore how a number of factors impact on these women’s construction of their identity as artists. The women were selected through the East Midlands Arts register of artists, and therefore targeted women who had already identified themselves as practitioners. Although they all registered themselves as painters, their use of such terms as painter and artist, as my research revealed, was fluid, being dependent on changing perceptions of self.

This research examines established and emerging practical methods and theoretical ideas in contemporary drawing in relation to studio glass.

For this reason existing and long established practices in drawing, developed in relation to other materials, may not be as effective in realising or exploring those qualities which are particular to glass, whether ae
