Kodas, Ergul. "Le « Culte du Crâne », dans son contexte architectural et stratigraphique, au Néolithique au Proche-Orient." Thesis, Paris 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA010635.
Full textAbstract:
Au Proche-Orient, la période néolithique se caractérise notamment par la présence marquante de crânes isolés, parfois « surmodelés », ainsi que de squelettes acéphales, qui furent retrouvés dans des contextes archéologiques variés et nettement distincts. L’intérêt pour la pratique du prélèvement des crânes est ancien et toujours d’actualité dans la communauté scientifique. Pour le préhistorien, au-delà de tous les enjeux de société contemporains, il s’agit avant tout d’une des portes d’accès à un monde ancien de croyance, qui, donnant chair aux communautés néolithiques, est généralement tenu pour un « culte du crâne » lié à celui des ancêtres. L’examen des contextes archéologiques, des techniques utilisées pour prélever les crânes et du surmodelage de crâne fut l’un des axes majeurs de cette étude et permit de mieux cerner l’importance de ces pratiques. Les liens, jusqu'à présent peu mis en valeur, entre le contexte archéologique et les données anthropologiques constituèrent l’une des principales perspectives de notre recherche. Seule une étude globalisante s’avère en effet à même de proposer des solutions et de nouvelles hypothèses quant à la signification du « culte des crânes ». Au cours de notre recherche, nous avons envisagé que le prélèvement du crâne suivait une chaine opératoire en trois phases successives, de prélèvement, de surmodelage et d’abandon, auxquelles succède une période d’utilisation ou d’exposition des restes. Nous estimons également que le prélèvement des crânes (crânes isolés, surmodelés et autres) reflète davantage qu’une simple pratique funéraire secondaire, mais relève du système caractérisé comme étant celui de la « complexité sociale » du Néolithique au Proche-OrientIn Neolithic Middle East, Decorated or isolated et plastered skull and acephalous skeleton we found in archaeological sets, very diverse and distinct in their contexts. Interest in cranium procurement is old and still strong in the scientific community. For a prehistorian it is, beyond ail contemporary challenges of our society, the key to access a world of beliefs, which give lives to Neolithic communities, often known for their cranium worship, which relates to their ancestors. The renewal of studies and recent discoveries implies to analyse previous data, with a focal on the definitions of contexts based upon excavating notebooks. Here, especially recent studies conducted in the 21th century's first decade in Syria, Israel and Turkey have brought new data by analysing those practices by using archaeological and anthropological modems methods. The main angle of this study, which consists in the analysis of archaeological contexts and of cranium procurement technics, is a crucial element for the understanding of this phenomenon. It is the link between the archaeological context and the anthropological data, underdeveloped in the literature, that is the main approach of this study. Only a global approach will allow to develops hypothetical solutions to the understanding of the "cult of the skull" (craniums worship). We estimate that skulls procurement (isolated or plastered skulls and others) are deeply linked to system characterised as social complexity in the Neolithic. However the link between this phenomenon and social identity or social status remains to be assessed through furthers studies. Indeed, the processing human remains and procured skulls can certainly reveal social organisation and stratification of Middle-east Neolithic communities. In other words, mortuary customs and their variation are an absolute clue to construction of social identifies as sociopolitical and socioeconomical status of an individual or of a group of Neolithic societies. More than constituting only social structures' markers, skulls procurement, their process through plastering or the addition of paintings or other elements, and their masking, also represent markers of chronological and regional differences that should guide our futures studies

Full textAbstract:
I samma ögonblick som du läser denna mening är sannolikheten stor att en svensk soldat patrullerar på en bakgata i Liberiashuvudstad Monrovia. Senare i år, eller under nästa år, utanför Afrikas ostkust, är det möjligt att en svensk sjöman embarkerarett misstänkt smuggelfartyg som blivit prejat av HMS Gävle. Samtidigt över Irak under ett Air Policing uppdrag i FN:s regiblir ett flygplan ur SWAFRAP JAS 39 belyst av ett fientligt luftvärnssystem. Vid samtliga dessa tre händelser är det tryggt attveta att den svenska materielprocessen, ingående organisationsenheter, strukturer och metoder är optimerade för att dessa soldater,sjömän och flygare skall kunna lita 100 % på sin utrustning. För visst är det så, eller …?De tre olika exemplens trovärdighet kan säkerligen diskuteras men faktum kvarstår. Idag har vi ett stort antal enheter utanförSveriges gränser och ytterligare förband står i beredskap för internationella insatser. Förutom övergången från ett invasionsförsvartill ett insatsförsvar blir också kraven allt högre på snabbare materielprocesser och mindre produktionsserierStäller dessa förändringar krav på validering av system under utvecklingsfasen, på annat sätt än vad som genomförs idag?Internationellt använder flera länder sig av en Operational Test and Evaluation organisation (OT&E) där en mycket viktig delär operationell validering (OPEVAL). Denna organisation och process innebär att deras försvarsmakter tar en mycket tydligareroll inom materielprocessen än vad vi i Sverige gör. Vad beror detta på? Är det dags för en revidering av det svenska sättet attvalidera militära materielsystem?Författaren har valt att belysa materielprocessen rörande flygsystem JAS 39 Gripen och söker svaren på frågorna inom densvenska försvarsindustrin, Försvarets materielverk och Försvarsmakten. Svaren pekar mot ett håll. Idag, i Sverige, finns detinte någon OT&E organisation med OPEVAL processer likt exempelvis det amerikanska flygvapnets. Dessa utgår främst utifrånkrigarens (slutanvändarens) perspektiv. I Sverige och särskilt inom de svenska luftstridskrafterna är TU enheterna och dåsärskilt TU JAS 39 den enhet som närmast liknar de amerikanska enheterna. Skillnaderna är dock markanta i organisation,uppgifter och mandat.Rollfördelningen mellan FM – FMV – industrin rörande verifierings- och valideringsverksamheten har förändrats de senareåren vilket inneburit att industrin tar ett allt större ansvar. Detta innebär förändrade roller och uppgifter för exempelvis FMVVerifierings- och Valideringscentrum rörande provning av enskilda materielsystem. Idag genomförs ingen OPEVAL av materielsystemi Försvarsmaktens regi. Orsakerna till detta finns främst att finna i det historiskt nära samarbetet inom materielprocessenmellan aktörerna. Uppsatsen visar på ett behov av en ny syn på validering av militära materielsystem. Denna måsteoundvikligen utgå från krigarnas krav och bör ske i Försvarsmaktens regi. Sammanfattningsvis är alltså inte frågan om enOPEVAL skall ske eller inte. Det sker alltid en OPEVAL! Frågan är om den ska ske i ordnade former under materielprocesseneller av en ensam svensk flygare, sjöman eller soldat i en mission någonstans långt utanför Sveriges gränser.The purpose of this essay has been, through empiric research, to analyseevaluation methods and responsibilities when the Swedish Armed Forces arechange from a counter invasion defence towards forces with more flexible anddeployable capabilities with an international focus. This is done mainly by interviewingkey-personnel in three different organizations working in the Swedishdevelopment and procurement procedures. By a theoretical frameworkaround Bolman & Deals perspective model and a scientific method built upon aqualitative perspective and a hermeneutic view, the essay answers three mainquestions; To start the essay determines what OT&E processes and especiallyOPEVAL is about. This is done by introducing the USAF views in this area.Then the essay tries to answer if we are doing something similar in Sweden andhow the responsibilities within test & evaluation are distributed between thedefence industries; the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration and theSwedish Armed Forces. If the conclusions were to be that there weren’t anyOPEVAL in Sweden the essay intends to shed light on the reasons and alsoexamine any future needs. After analysis’s of interviews and documents theanswers were:The main characteristics of the USAF OT&E processes are the focus on thewarfighter. The warfighter are in the development and procurement proceduresrepresented by an OT&E organization. Closest to this kind of organization inSweden, although there are lot of differences, would be the Swedish AirForce’s “TU organizations”. However OPEVAL isn’t carried out in Swedenand the Armed Forces have just a supporting role in the validation process.The primary reason that there aren’t any OPEVAL being conducted in Swedenis the historical closeness between the organizations, our principle of selfsupportdue to our non-alignment and our limited economical means. The essay’smain conclusion is that today and tomorrow new needs must be met bynew tasks, organization structures and processes in the development and procurementprocedures. One task is to perform a credible OPEVAL similar to thekind USAF performs. Doesn’t this succeed there’s a risk that expected operationaleffects does not occur in for example peace support operations. In theend we risk the safety and the lives of our warfighters.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med undersökningen är att observera några samlingar på en integrerad förskoleavdelning för att se om det finns likheter och skillnader i bemötandet av dragarbarn jämfört med barn i behov av särskilt stöd. Undersökningen syftar också till att jämföra det bemötande dragarbarn får på en integrerad avdelning jämfört med barn med typisk utveckling på ordinarie avdelning. Den teori som undersökningen bygger på är sociokulturell teori (Vygotskij, sv. övers. 2001; Wood, Bruner & Ross, 1976; Säljö, 2014). Tidigare forskning kring kamrateffekter, samlingens betydelse samt språk ur ett sociokulturellt perspektiv. Det förväntade kunskapsbidraget är att ge underlag för diskussioner och reflektioner bland pedagoger kring barn med typisk utveckling, dragarbarn, i förhållande till barn i behov av särskilt stöd.För att belysa fenomenet ur olika perspektiv har triangulering använts. Videoobservationer av två olika förskoleavdelningar samt ostrukturerade intervjuer med pedagoger utgör studiens empiri. Empirin analyseras kvantitativt och kvalitativt med ett hermeneutiskt angreppssätt där pendling mellan tidigare forskning och resultat har skett.Undersökningen visar att dragarbarnen i den integrerade gruppen hade signifikant färre turer än barnen med typisk utveckling i den ordinarie gruppen. Den visar även skillnader på samlingarnas upplägg och innehåll. Pedagogerna i den integrerade gruppen hade en större andel turer än pedagogen i den ordinarie gruppen vilket får konsekvenser för barnen. En slutsats är att pedagogerna i sin reflektion och planering kring samlingen bör ta hänsyn till alla barn, såväl dragarbarn som barn i behov av särskilt stöd. Syftet med samlingen bör tydliggöras för att få en bättre kvalité på förskolorna. Undersökningen ger underlag för vidare reflektioner bland pedagoger under handledning där specialpedagogen har en viktig roll. Fokus för specialpedagogen blir en vidgat seende där alla barns rättigheter uppmärksammas.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka hur arbetet kring pedagogiska utredningar ser ut i förhållande till vad styrdokument och teorier säger, och därmed synliggöra betydelsen av pedagogiska utredningar på individ-, grupp- och organisationsnivå. Vi belyser hur några utvalda specialpedagoger arbetar med pedagogiska utredningar av elever i behov av särskilt stöd inför upprättande av åtgärdsprogram, samt ger en bild av ett par rektorers uppfattningar om pedagogiska utredningar. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ undersökning med intervjuer av specialpedagoger som arbetar i skolan, specialpedagoger inom elevhälsan samt rektorer. Arbetet ger en översikt över tidigare forskning om pedagogisk utredning. Vi har delat in vårt resultat i teman; specialpedagogens uppdrag, uppmärksamhet, orsaker, utredning, dokumentation, svårigheter och rektors uppdrag. Resultatet visar att den huvudsakliga orsaken till att elever anses vara i behov av stöd är att de inte når målen i kursplanen. Vi ser även en skillnad mellan skolans specialpedagoger och elevhälsans specialpedagoger på vilka nivåer de lägger fokus. Elevhälsan betonar skolans organisation, kultur och värdegrund i en pedagogisk utredning medan skolan lägger större vikt på individ och grupp.

Full textAbstract:
The results of evolution can be inferred from comparative studies of related organisms. In this doctoral thesis, I use phylogenetic comparative methods along side geometric morphometrics to analyse shape variation in order to infer evolution of the caecilian skull. Caecilians are elongate, limbless amphibians that superficially resemble snakes or earthworms, and use their head as a locomotory organ. I characterise large-scale patterns of cranial morphological diversity and quantify variation across the main family-level clades by describing patterns relating to phylogeny, disparity and ecology. Then I examine the origins and evolution of morphological variation in the skull by describing patterns relating to morphological integration and modularity. This thesis demonstrates a variety of existing statistical techniques that can be used to infer processes from large-scale evolutionary patterns in morphological data using non model organisms. Throughout the thesis, I show that the evolution of the caecilian skull to be multifaceted. On the patterns of diversity, the most striking is a "starburst" arrangement in shape space, which suggests that early in caecilian evolution ancestral lineages traversed greater expanses of the shape space, while subsequent phylogenetic divergence within the main clades entailed less morphological diversification. This may be related to early diversification into different ecological-niches, yet more data are needed to test this. The clades differ considerably in their cranial disparity, but there appears to be no unified pattern across the whole order that indicates disparity is coupled with clade age or speciation events. I show that aquatic species are more diverse than their terrestrial relatives, and that there is convergence of cranial shape among dedicated burrowers with eyes covered by bone. On the patterns of morphological integration and modularity, another remarkable finding is the caecilian cranium is modular with respect to two functional regions, the snout and the back of the cranium. Modularity is important for understanding the evolution of this structure. The main elements of the caecilian anterior skeleton, the cranium, mandible and atlas vertebra, reveal different patterns of morphological integration, suggesting different developmental and evolutionary processes are involved in sorting and maintaining new variation of each structure. Allometry is an important component of integration in each of the structures. Covariation of the cranium-mandible after size correction is significant and follows the same direction of shape change across all levels and as shown for allometry. In contrast, covariation of the cranium-atlas follows different directions at each level. These results suggest the two main joint of the caecilian skull differ substantially in their origin and evolution. I discuss the contribution made in this thesis to caecilian and evolutionary biology and offer an outlook of how theses findings can be used to initiate future studies to better understand of the evolution of the caecilian skull.

Full textAbstract:
Pourquoi les figurines masculines ? Parce que les archéologues spécialistes des terres cuites ont ciblé d’une façon générale les figurines zoomorphes et, parmi les figurines anthropomorphes, les représentations de femmes. On ne trouve jusqu’à maintenant aucun catalogue exhaustif et détaillé des figurines masculines en terre cuite. Dans ce vaste champ d’investigation, j’ai sélectionné deux périodes. La préhistoire, pour remonter aux origines et réfléchir sur la création des figurines masculines en terre cuite. Et les âges du Bronze, période faste s’il en est pour ce type de production. Cette thèse porte donc sur l'étude des figurines masculines en terre cuite(figurinesmodelées, moulées, et moule). L’objectif de cette étude est de faire un corpus de figurines masculines en terre cuite, car il n’en existe pas de corpus satisfaisant, de les classifier, de les analyser techniquement, artistiquement, et de les interpréter, et enfin de publier les figurines inédites conservées au musée du Louvre. Les problématiques sont les suivantes : les figurines étaient-elles utilisées comme jouets, comme éléments décoratifs ou comme amulettes ? Doivent-elles être mises en rapport avec des coutumes ou des rites religieux ? Comment peut-on interpréter la découverte defigurines masculines dans des temples, dans des tombes et dans les maisons ? Quelle que soit la technique qui leur a permis de se répandre, la question générale est toujours la même : à quelle fin l’artisan ou l’usager les destinait-il ?Les réponses pourront varier en fonction de la chronologie, puisque le sujet couvre une très longue période ; en fonction des lieux et des contextes archéologiques, et aussi bien sûr en fonction de la typologie, car les figures masculines peuvent présenter différentes attitudes (assises/debout), différents gestes, différents types de vêtements, d’attributs (en particulier des armes). Les chercheurs ont proposé une grande variété d’hypothèses, parfois sur la base de comparaisons ethnographiques, ou d’un rapprochement avec les traditions littéraires ou artistiques. Sans aucun doute, quel que soit le rôle de ces figurines, elles ont été considérées comme des objets importants dans la vie quotidienne au cours de l'époque néolithique, comme la poterie, les outils de pierre et d'autres objets « utilitaires », et des objets importants, notamment dans les activités religieuses et magiques, au cours de l’âge du Bronze.Le plan est le suivant : typologie et répartition régionale, matériau et techniques de fabrication (modelage et moulage), spécificités des figurines masculines, contexte archéologique et fonctions plausibles, avec l’apport de l’iconographieWhy male figurines? Because archaeologists specializing in terracotta have generally targeted zoomorphic figurines and, among anthropomorphic figurines, representations of women. Until now, there is no exhaustive and detailed catalog of terracotta male models. In this vast field of investigation, I have selected two periods : Prehistory, to go back to the origins and think about the creation of terracotta male figurines, and the Bronze Age, the apogee time for this type of production. This thesis deals so with the study of terracotta male figurines (modeled figurines, molded figures and molds). The objective of this study is to make a corpus of terracotta male figurines, because there is no satisfactory body of work, to classify them, to analyze them technically, artistically, and to interpret them, and finally publishing the unpublished figures preserved in the Louvre Museum.The research problems are the following : the figurines were used as toys, as decorative elements in homes, or as amulets? Should they be related to religious customs or rites? How can one interpret the discovery of male figurines in temples? in tombs and houses, whatever thetechnique that has allowed them to spread, the general question is always the same : for what purpose did the craftsman or the user make them? The answers vary according to the chronology, since the subject covers a very long period. According to the places and archaeological contexts and of course depending on the typology, because male figures may have different positions (sitting/standing), different gestures, different types of clothing, attributes (especially weapons). Researchers have proposed a wide variety of choices, sometimes on a hypothetical basis, ethnographic comparisons, and reconciliation with literary, artistic or funerary traditions. Undoubtedly, whatever the role of these figurines, they were considered important objects in everyday life during the Neolithic period, such as pottery, stone tools and other "utilitarian" objects, and important objects, especially in religious and magical activities, during the Bronze Age

Full textAbstract:
The explicit and implicit definitional criteria of cult heroes as described by Pausanias are examined in an attempt to understand heroes in the terms of ancient Greek religion. The distinctions between gods, heroes, and other mortals are examined. Particular attention is paid to the rituals indicated by the verbs enagizein and thyein with a view towards understanding their role in hero cult. It is found that the sacrifice made to heroes distinguishes the one who sacrifices to them from the one who sacrifices to gods and that hero cult plays an important role in the religious life of the polis through its rituals of purification.Les critères définitionnels des héros de culte, aussi bien implicites qu'explicites, tels qu'ils sont décrits par Pausanias, sont examinés dans une tentative de comprendre les héros du point de vue religieux de la Grèce antique. Les distinctions entre les dieux, les héros, et les autres mortels sont examinés. En particulier, nous nous concentrons sur les verbes enagizein et thyein, indicateurs de rituels, pour mieux comprendre leur rôle dans le culte des héros. Nous trouvons que le sacrifice aux héros distingue ceux qui les font de ceux qui sacrifient aux dieux. À part cela, nous trouvons aussi que le culte des héros est très important dans la vie religieuse de la polis à travers les rituels de purification.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a first attempt to bring together archaeological and literary sources from two main Artemis sanctuaries in the hope of contributing to building a clearer picture of her cult. First Artemis’ character is described as that of a mother of the gods, a goddess of wilderness, animals and hunt; a goddess of birth, infants and children (and young animals); as well as a goddess of youths and marriage:rites of passage. These descriptions are followed by a section that provides an up-to-date account of the archaeological record of the sanctuaries of Artemis Orthia at Sparta and Artemis Ephesia at Ephesus. For comparison with those the site of Athena Alea at Tegea is brought in. These three accounts are a full study of the architectural development and the range of artefacts in different materials. In the analysis, the different characters of Artemis are further explored by looking at the aspects of her cult through the archaeology relating to the cult and the rites of passage taking place at the sites. These rites of passage are reconstructed by using the literary accounts. The conclusion is a description of Artemis and her cult based on the character of this distinctive goddess through archaeological and literary evidence.

Joseph, Vinita. "Cult : a composite novel." Thesis, University of Kent, 2014. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/47604/.
Full textAbstract:
Cult (redacted) The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence. Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults. The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic. Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts.

This essay concern the Bona Dea cult and women in the Roman Republic. By using ancient literary sources and inscriptions the different aspects of the cult is examined from a gender and an intersectional perspective. The essay covers the lives and rights of Roman women, their role in religion in general and how they participated in the Bona Dea cult specifically. The aim of the study is to understand the importance of the cult for women, freedmen and slaves, as well as analysing the paradox of letting women participate in rituals and customs otherwise forbidden to them.

Full textAbstract:
Intressenters efterfrågan på CSR har ökat, då näringslivet till stor del står till svars för den exploatering som sker av människan och miljön. Organisationers behov av legitimitet från omgivande intressenter, för att blir framgångsrika på marknaden, har därför lett till att allt fler organisationer väljer att frivilligt hållbarhetsredovisa. Studier visar dock att det ibland förekommer en särkoppling mellan organisationers externt redovisade CSR och deras praktiskt utförda CSR-arbete, vilket kan bli problematiskt då det kan leda till att en skev bild av hållbar utveckling presenteras. Föreliggande studie ämnar kritiskt granska särkoppling i relation till hållbar utveckling för att undersöka om och i så fall varför en organisations externa hållbarhetskommunikation kan leda till tröggående hållbar utveckling. Detta genom att utforska vad en förebildsorganisation externt kommunicerar gällande hållbarhet och hur det korresponderar med verkligheten. Urvalet utgörs av organisationen Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) då det går att argumentera för att organisationen är en förebild inom den globala textil- och konfektionsmarknaden. Genom en kritisk diskursanalys analyseras H&M:s hållbarhetsredovisning i syfte att se vilka diskurser organisationen externt kommunicerar samt hur dessa diskurser korresponderar med verkligheten. Resultatet/diskussionen utmynnar i att de diskurser som H&M externt kommunicerar främst villkoras av marknadsrationella ideal, varför en ”marknadisering” av kommunikationen går att argumentera för. Troligtvis kommuniceras detta av strategiska skäl då marknadsrationella ideal går i linje med den dominerande samhällsideologin nyliberalism, vilket kan leda till att organisationen erhåller legitimitet. Då en ”marknadisering” av H&M:s CSR-kommunikation identifieras i studien och detta vidare argumenteras för möjliggör ett sätt för organisationen att ta ett mer distanserat ansvar gällande hållbar utveckling i den sociala verkligheten, så skapas även argument för att H&M som förebild är med och bidrar till tröggående hållbar utveckling. Detta kan förstås utifrån nyinstitutionell teori som bland annat gör gällande att organisationer tenderar att efterlikna andra organisationer vars koncept är legitimitetsskapande och framgångsrika.

I studien undersöks det hur teorier från slow food och slow fashion genom olika designprocesser kan överföras till nya produktkategorier, i detta fall har möbler valts ut som kategori. Syftet med denna studie har varit skapa medvetenhet och synliggöra möjligheter för produktdesigners att arbeta med slow principer i kombination med kritisk design på nya produktkategorier. Detta för att främja hållbar utveckling och vår miljö. Det teoretiska ramverket ligger som grund för studien och innefattar slow fashion, Slow food, kritisk design och slow design. Som metoder har det bland annat samlats in information genom funktionsanalys, fokusgrupper och intervjuer.Resultatet blev en hylla vars hyllplan monteras på i takt med att dess ramar i form av träd växer. Detta ska skapa ett kritiskt tänkande hos betraktaren angående snabb produktion och miljön.The study examines how theories of slow food and slow fashion can be transferred to new product categories through different design processes. In this case furniture has been selected as a category. The purpose of this study is to create awareness and make opportunities visible for product designers to work with slow principles in combination with critical design on new product categories. This is to encourage sustainable development and benefit our environment. The theoretical framework forms the basis of the study and includes slow fashion, slow food, critical design and slow design. As methods, among other things, information has been collected through function analysis, focus groups and interviews.The result is a shelf whose shelves are mounted on progressively as its frame in the form of trees grows. This should create a critical thinking on the part of the viewer regarding fast production and the environment.

Inledning Detta arbete kommer att belysa vad begreppen kränkande behandling och mobbning har förinnebörd hos pedagoger i förskolans verksamhet. Kränkande behandling och mobbning är ett problem som förekommer i alla delar av skolväsendet. Vi vill belysa att pedagoger är medvetna om att problemet redan finns i förskoleåldern. Vi anser att detta bör synliggöras mer för alla i samhället. Syfte Vårt syfte är att undersöka vilka uppfattningar pedagoger har om arbetet mot kränkandebehandling och mobbning. Vi har valt att belysa hur pedagogerna förhåller sig till begreppen kränkande behandling och mobbning i förskolan. Metod I vår undersökning har kvalitativa intervjuer använts som metod. Dessa intervjuer har skett på två olika förskolor, med åtta pedagoger. Resultat Resultatet av denna studie har visat att pedagoger är medvetna om vad som kan ske inom förskolans verksamhet när det gäller kränkande behandling och mobbning. De använder sig av olika arbetssätt för att motverka kränkande behandling och mobbning mellan bådepedagoger och barn och barn och barn, men även pedagoger och pedagoger. De flesta avpedagogerna anser att det är viktigt att se till barnens känslor, och att vara lyhörda införbarnen. De förklarar att barnens tolkningar av situationen är det viktigaste samt att barnensupplevelser är det som pedagogerna bör ta till vara på. Det är även viktigt för pedagogerna att inte tala över eller om barnen i verksamheten. Att kommunicera med pedagoger i sittarbetslag och även med barnen är en stor del av ett arbete som ska motverka kräkningar och mobbning. Ett förebyggande arbete är av stor vikt för att barnen ska få en bra upplevelse påförskolan.

Full textAbstract:
Questions of Popular Cult(ure) works in the uncomfortable and unclear spaces of popular culture. This thesis demonstrates how cult cauterizes ambiguity and functions as a framing agent for unpopular politics in popular culture. In tracking the flows and hesitations in the postwar period through the rise of the New Right and identity politics, this thesis shows how cult contains moving and malleable meanings that maneuver through everyday life. It is a slippery and slight subject that denies coherent categorization in definitional frames.
This thesis negotiates this liminality by tracking broad social shifts in race, class and gender through textualised traces. The complicated concept of cult is activated within a series of case studies. These chapters are linked together to demonstrate the volatile variance of the cult category.
Section one contextualises the terrain of the intellectual work in this thesis. It paints broad brush-strokes of the postwar period, through an animated intersection of politics and popular culture. The first chapter defines the currency of cult in contemporary times. It is devoted to investigating the relationships between colonisation and popular culture. By pondering postcolonialism, this chapter prises open thirdspace to consider how writing and madness performs proximity in the pre and post-colonial world. The maddening of cargo cults by colonisers in Melanesia operates as a metonym for the regulation of marginal modalities of resistance. In popular culture, this trajectory of insane otherness has corroded, with the subversion of cult being appropriated by fan discourses, as worship has become accountable for the mainstream market.
Chapter two unpacks The X-Files as a text tracking the broad changes in politics through popular culture. This innovative text has moved from marginality into the mainstream, mapping meanings through the social landscape. Consciousness and reflexivity in the popular embeds this text in a cult framework, as it demonstrates the movement in meanings and the hegemonic hesitations of the dominant in colonising (and rewriting) the interests of the subordinate as their own.
Section two creates a dialogue between gendered politics and contemporary popular culture. The changes to the consciousness in masculinity and femininity are captured by Tank Girl, Tomb Raider, Henry Rollins and Spike (from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer). These texts perform the wavering popularity of feminism and the ascent of mens studies in intellectual inquiry. Tank Girl articulates unpopular feminist politics through the popular mode of film. The movement to more mainstream feminism is threaded through the third wave embraced by Tomb Raider that reinscribes the popular paradigms of femininity, via colonisation. The computer game discourse permits a pedagogy of power to punctuate Lara Crofts virtual surfaces and shimmer through the past into the present.
Tracking this historical movement, two chapters on masculinity brew the boom in mens studies questioning of manhood. Henry Rollins is a metonym for an excessive and visible masculinity, in an era where men have remained an unmarked centre of society. His place within peripheral punk performance settles his inversionary identity. Spike from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer demonstrates the contradictions in manhood by moving through the masculine hierarchy to deprioritise men in the public sphere. This is a mobile masculinity in a time where changeability has caused a crisis for men. Both these men embody a challenging and confrontational gender politics. Cult contains these characters within different spaces, at varying times and through contradictory politics.
Section three ponders the place and role of politics at its most persistent and relevant. It demonstrates the consequences for social justice in an era of New Right ideologies. The chapter on South Park mobilises Leftist concerns within an overtly Rightist context, and Trainspotting moves through youth politics and acceleration to articulate movement in resistive meanings.
These case studies contemplate the journey of popular culture in the postwar period by returning to the present and to the dominant culture. The colonisation of identity politics by the New Right makes the place of cultural studies as a pedagogic formation - powerfully important. Colonisation of geographical peripheries is brought home to England as the colonisation of the Celtic fringe is interpreted through writing and resistance.
This thesis tracks (and connects) two broad movements - the shifting of political formations and the commodification of popular culture. The disconnecting dialogue between these two streams opens the terrain for cult. In the hesitations that delay their connection, cult is activated to cauterize this disjuncture.

Full textAbstract:
The main aim of this project was to develop a model for predicting skull fractures of a 50th percentile male, using a finite element head model developed at the Neuronics department of KTH, Royal Instituteof Technology. The skull bone is modeled as a three layered bone, where the outer and inner tables are modeled as shell elements, while the diploë is modeled by two layers of solid elements. The material model of the tables was changed from the material model MAT_PLASTIC_KINEMATIC to a material model including a damage parameter to soften the damaged material and to enable ploting of the damage of the skull bone. Due to the coarse mesh of the FE head model the material model was not allowed to include any erosion, deleting element as they reach their ultimate strain. With these requests, two materials from the LS-DYNA material library seemed appropriate: material 81,MAT_PLASTICITY_WITH_DAMAGE and material 105, MAT_DAMAGE_2. To evaluate these materials and adjust the input parameters a dog bone FE model was developed and tension tests were simulated with this model, equivalent to tension tests performed on equally shaped skull bone specimens. The material simulating a behavior most similar to the behavior from the tension tests turned out to be material 81. This material model was then implemented in the full FE head model for further input parameter adjustment and validation. Four different cadaver experiments were simulated, with different impacting objects: sphere, box, cylinder and flat cylinder surface, and impacted areas of the head: vertex, temporo-parietal and frontal. The forces obtained in the simulations were compared to the forces of the cadaver experiments. The fracture prediction was based on the damage parameter, which could be plotted to visualize the areas where the ultimate strain was exceeded and thereby the area most likely to be fractured. This parameter was then compared to the documented fractures from the cadaver experiments. The result showed that using material 81 with the input parameter EPPFR=0.05 gave the overall most accurate forces and fracture predictions. The breaking stress, σB, did not affect the fractures significantly but a reduced σB resulted in reduction of the peak forces. The thickness of the diploë did not have any significant impact on the fracture occurrence, but a thinner diploë had a reducing impact on the peak forces as well.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last decade, physicians have noted a rise in the prevalence of plagiocephaly. This sudden increase combined with the variability in presentation of infant head deformities makes the management of these cases often difficult. Currently, assessment for treatment is solely based largely on subjective determination of the severity of the patients skull malformation. Existing cephalometric techniques, such as external caliper measurements are commonly used, however these technique still contain inaccuracies, due to movement of an infant during measurement, soft tissue compression by the calipers, and lack of precise defined landmarks. (10) Given that no type of normalized measurement exists to identify objectively the severity of a patients skull deformity, the grading and selection of treatment modality has been relegated largely to experienced plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons. We report of a novel measurement that utilizes both CT scan and digital images combined with basic geometry to determine, objectively, the severity of an infants skull deformity, enabling all physicians to better decide what therapeutic intervention to employ.

Full textAbstract:
Maniraptoriformes, the speciose group of derived theropod dinosaurs that ultimately gave rise to modern birds, display a diverse and remarkable suite of skeletal adaptations. Apart from the evolution of flight, a large-scale change in dietary behavior appears to have been one of the main triggers for adaptations in the bauplan of these derived theropods. Amongst the different skeletal specialisations, partial or even complete edentulism and the development of keratinous beaks form a recurring and persistent trend in the transition from derived nonavian dinosaurs to birds. Therizinosauria is one of the most enigmatic and peculiar clades among Maniraptoriformes, exhibiting an unusual suite of characters, such as lanceolate teeth, a rostral rhamphotheca, long manual claws and a wide, opisthopubic pelvis. This specialised anatomy has been associated with a shift in dietary preferences and an adaptation to herbivory, making therizinosaurs prime candidates to assess the functional significance of these morphological characters. Centered on the skull of the therizinosaur Erlikosaurus andrewsi from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia, a wide range of computational techniques (including computed tomography, digital reconstruction and biomechanical modelling using finite element analysis) has been utilised in this thesis to investigate the skull form and function in therizinosaurs and to elucidate their palaeobiology. Evidence from hard- and soft tissue reconstructions of Erlilcosaurus andrewsi demonstrate that teeth had lost their importance and function in derived therizinosaurs. Rather a keratinous rhamphotheca was developed early in Therizinosauria to replace rostral teeth as a main device to procure and manipulate food. The results of a highly detailed biomechanical model of Erlikosaurus andrewsi further suggest that a keratinous rhamphotheca represent an evolutionary innovation developed early in the transition from non-avian dinosaurs to birds to enhance cranial stability, distinct to postulated mass-saving benefits associated with the origin of flight.

Full textAbstract:
Ämnet sponsring är ett stort och brett område som vuxit under senaste åren och som många företag tillämpar. Just sponsringen har i synnerhet blivit stor i och med sportevenemang och olika idrottsföreningar som bildar samarbete med företag och arbetar tillsammans. Idrotten har blivit världsledande när det kommer till uppmärksamhet och reklam på TV och nyheter och detta vet förstås företagen om och man ser en investering i att bilda sponsringssamarbete i dessa sammanhang.Som företagare kan man välja att sponsra ett stort fotbollslag som får mycket tid i media och TV och detta medverkar till att företaget också syns i en större utsträckning och får mer uppmärksamhet. Som företagare kan man också sponsra ett mindre fotbollslag som man har en relation till eller som man tycker gör ett vettigt arbete för ungdomar osv. I vår studie undersökte vi just denna typ av sponsring och vi har arbetat med två olika fotbollsföreningar som jobbar på helt olika villkor och nivåer. Vi har tittat till deras största sponsorer och har i vår studie kommit fram till om företagen sponsrar idrottsföreningar för relationernas skull?Vi har varit och studerat IF Elfsborg och Borås AIK och gjort en kvalitativ undersökning i form av personliga intervjuer med de högst uppsatta personerna inom föreningarna när det kommer till sponsring. Vi har även gjort personliga intervjuer med de två klubbarnas stora sponsorer och det är Swedbank Sjuhärad, AB Bostäder, NetonNet och V/S/B. Vi anser att de empiriska material vi har använt och fått ut av intervjuerna har varit tillräckligt för att besvara vårt syfte med denna studie och vi känner oss nöjda med det vi har lärt oss och kommit fram till.De slutsatser som vi har kommit fram till när det kommer till föreningarna vi har arbetat med är att de inte bara skiljer i storlek utan även i arbetssätt. IF Elfsborg är en av Sveriges största idrottsföreningar och det är naturligt att företagen sponsrar de för att förknippas med föreningen och stärka sitt varumärke. Där av kan man säga att det är en investeringsfråga ur företagens synvinkel vad gäller att sponsra IF Elfsborg.Borås AIK är en mindre förening än IF Elfsborg i alla avseenden och det enda man egentligen har tillsammans är att båda hör till fotbollen. Företagen ser ingen investering i att sponsra Borås AIK då klubben aldrig är på TV och väldigt sällan i tidningen. Här handlar det nästan enbart om relationsbaserad sponsring och att man vill klubben väl. Borås AIK arbetar i ett väldigt utsatt område med mycket invandring och kriminalitet och man utbildar många ungdomar på området vilket många företag tycker om och vill vara med och stötta.Program: Dataekonomutbildningen

Mestrado em Sistemas de InformaçãoEsta dissertação apresenta uma nova abordagem para realizar análises craniométricas com base em modelos 3D de crânios. Atualmente o procedimento usado pelos antropólogos assenta no recurso a craniometria tradicional, i.e. medições manuais, o que implica variados problemas tais como dificuldade em assegurar repetibilidade das medições, erros na mesmas e possível dano nos crânios inerente ao seu manuseamento. A abordagem proposta passa por fazer a aquisição dos crânios recorrendo a um scanner 3D de luz estruturada (realizada por terceiros) e posterior análise recorrendo a uma aplicação especificamente desenvolvida para tal, e na qual assenta o trabalho descrito neste documento. Vários métodos serão abordados, tais como análise de malhas 3D, estudos de normais e curvaturas, obtenção de pontos de interesse e respectivas medidas e, por fim, serão apresentadas conclusões sobre o trabalho, bem como sugestões de trabalho futuro.
This dissertation presents a new approach to conduct craniometric analysis based on 3D models of skulls. Nowadays procedures used by anthropologists are based in traditional methods, i.e. manual measurements, which may imply a set of problems such as difficulty in ensuring repeatability of the measurements, measurement errors and can skull damage inherent to the handling. The new approach lies on the acquisition of the skulls using a structured 3D light scanner (done by a third party entity) and subsequent analysis using an application specifically designed for that purpose. Is on the latter that this work is based. Several methods are going to be addressed, such as analysis of 3D meshes, studies of normal vectors and curvatures, obtainment of points of interest (landmark points) and measurements. Finally, conclusions about the developed methods, results and future work.

Amanze, James Nathaniel. "The Bimbi cult in southern Malawi." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 1986. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/29031/.
Full textAbstract:
The Bimbi cult in Southern Malawi is a territorial cult, one among a number of other regional belief systems among the Chewa of Southern Malawi. As a religious system the Bimbi cult has a distinctive unwritten theology, elaborate liturgical observances, an organized inherited priesthood and a charismatic leader - the Bimbi - from whom the cult's name derives. The thesis begins by examining the life and structural position of the Bimbi who is, in all aspects the most representative and living symbol of the cult as a moral force. It then looks into the question of the call to Bimbiship and the processes of succession events which are believed to be divine acts from beginning to end. This is evidenced by the fact that succession to Bimbiship cuts across the principles of matrilineage of succession to headmanship among the Chewa. The third chapter of the thesis discusses the religious, shrine and political organizations of the cult which give it its territorial nature and enhance both the legitimacy of the Bimbi and the impact of the cult in the region. The fourth, fifth and sixth chapters set forth to answer the questions, "what is the faith and prayer of the cult?" and "how do the followers understand God, the social and the natural orders in the universe?" To this purpose the thesis examines the rituals, prayers, symbolisms, beliefs and practices of those who adhere to the cult. The seventh chapter of the thesis probes into what is remembered of the earlier history of the cult and the role which the title holders of Bimbiship have played for the past hundred years. Finally an attempt has been made to examine the nature of the interaction between the cult on the one hand and Christianity and Islam on the other.

Full textAbstract:
I denna studie jämförs 15 företags uppförandekoder. Målet med studien var att undersöka om globala företag med stark koppling till svenskt näringsliv har uppförandekoder som är lika till innehållet och vad som kunde förklara resultatet. Studien var starkt inspirerad av en amerikansk studie som undersökt likhet mellan 66 företag i USA, men även studier beträffande affärsetik och undersökningar om företags hantering av en global marknad. Tidigare studier har resonerat kring legitimitet som potentiell förklaring av fenomenet. I vårt resultat baserat på en innehållsanalys och intervjuer finner vi inte samma tendens till plagiering av uppförandekoder som studierna baserat på amerikanska företags uppförandekoder presenterar. En majoritet av de likheter som identifieras kopplas till begreppet hypernormer, en typ av normer som är gränsöverskridande. I studien diskuteras möjliga orsaker till att uppförandekoderna vi undersökt inte i allmänhet ser lika ut. En del av svaren går att utläsa från de intervjuer som vi haft med några av de största aktörerna inom industribranschen på den svenska och globala marknaden. I studien finner vi bland annat att företagen behandlar anpassning till lokala normer och kulturer olika. Vi finner även att företag valt att hantera specifika verksamhetsfrågor på ett diversifierat sätt via uppförandekoderna. Eftersom studien fokuserat på upplevt syfte och likheten mellan uppförandekoder föreslås vidare studier som kan se hur företag implementerar sina uppförandekoder eller om det finns en ”best practice” att kommunicera sin uppförandekod till medarbetare och andra intressenter.

Les récents progrès de la génétique du développement et de l'analyse du phénotype ont engendré un regain d'intérêt considérable pour l'étude de l'évolution du développement (evo-devo). Cette thèse présente une étude des relations entre ontogénèse et phylogénèse dans le sous-ordre des primates strepsirrhiniens. Ici, on s'intéresse au complexe cranio-mandibulaire, dont la croissance et le développement sont analysés à l'aide d'un ensemble d'outils dédiés de géométrie morphométrique. Une analyse comparative de l'ontogénie du crâne et de la mandibule est conduite sur un ensemble de dix espèces de strepsirrhiniens et de deux espèces d'haplorrhiniens. Les haplorrhiniens et les strepsirrhiniens diffèrent largement dans la direction, la position, et la longueur de leurs trajectoires ontogénétiques. Chez les lémuriens malgaches, il y a une plus grande diversité de direction, de position et de longueur des trajectoires ontogénétiques que chez les loriformes. De plus, on observe des différences importantes de grade allométrique parmi les espèces de lémuriens, et une plus faible variabilité au sein des loriformes. Une analyse comparative est conduite sur un échantillon de primates Eocènes adapiformes et de strepsirrhiniens actuels. Au sein des adapinés, une augmentation de taille via transposition allométrique caractérise la lignée des Leptadapis. Enfin, les adapiformes adapinés et notharctidés ont des trajectoires ontogénétiques plus longues en terme de quantité de changement de forme que les espèces de strepsirrhiniens actuels. Une tendance au raccourcicement des trajectoires ontogénétiques caractérise l'évolution des strepsirrhiniens. Ceci est lié à un contexte général d'augmentation de l'encéphalisation au cours de leur histoire évolutiveDue to recent advances in developmental genetics and phenotypic analysis, evolutionary developmental (evo-devo) studies regained considerable interest, and led to fundamental changes in our understanding of how ontogeny and phylogeny are related. This thesis investigates the relationship between ontogeny and phylogeny in strepsirrhine primates. Here, the focus is on cranial diversity, which is analyzed from a developmental perspective, and with a new set of geometric morphometric tools. A comparative geometric morphometric analysis of cranio-mandibular development is conducted in ten strepsirrhine and two haplorrhine species. Haplorrhines and strepsirrhines differ widely in ontogenetic trajectory direction, length and position. Within the strepsirrhines, divergence between taxon-specific ontogenetic trajectories and allometric grade shifts are more pronounced in lemurs than in lorises. The insights obtained from the evolutionary developmental analysis of extant taxa are used for a comparative analysis of Eocene fossil strepsirrhine taxa belonging to the infraorder Adapiformes. Among the adapine adapiforms, an increase in size via allometric grade shift has occurred in the Leptadapis lineage, which suggests phyletic gigantism in this genus. Adapiforms exhibit longer ontogenetic trajectories than extant strepsirrhines. A trend toward a shortening of ontogenetic trajectories has occurred in the evolutionary history of strepsirrhines. This can be related to a context of general increase in encephalization in this lineage

This thesis presents two studies related to head injury. The study presented in Chapter 1 reviewed findings of cranial movement in animal and human specimens and evaluate the validity of cranial movement due to manual manipulation in humans through engineering analysis. The study had two parts. In Part I, the literature was reviewed to determine the cranial motion in animals and humans. Engineering analysis was done in Part II to determine the amount of force necessary to cause cranial motion in the studies from Part I using skull stiffness values from published studies. Chapter 2 explored data collection methodologies used in frontal sled tests. Several data collection methodologies exist for collecting kinematic data, such as Vicon motion analysis, video analysis, and sensors. Head trajectories from motion data and accelerometer data were plotted up to maximum forward excursion of the head for eight frontal sled tests, four conducted at Virginia Tech and four at the University of Virginia. In addition, the percent difference between maximum forward excursion values from sensor and motion data were calculated. Finally, Chapter 3 discusses the literary contributions of each study and to which journals they will be submitted.Master of Science

Thesis advisor: Robin FlemingThe cult of the saints and emperor cult both fulfilled similar roles in their respective societies. On the surface they appear to be drastically different institutions. In reality emperor cult and saint cult were similar religious programs, which with careful examination appear to be related. The following work discusses the remarkable similarities between the cult of saints and emperor cult, including their personnel, temples, means of establishment and promotion, and even the role each cult played in the development of their societies. After careful examination of the above mentioned subjects, it is clear that the cult of the saints was largely based on emperor cult, and that despite the drastically different religious atmospheres that each cult was based in, they were similar in all but the most obvious wasy
