Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the product of an Arts and Humanities Research Council Collaborative Doctoral Award, the result of which was the production of a catalogue of the Tableaux de la Révolution. Made up of some 500 prints, presented in four nineteenth century bound volumes, the Tableaux de la Révolution is part of the Rothschild Collection held at Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire. One of the key goals of the project was to create an online resource that is now publicly accessible by internet. The initial cataloguing was split between Claire Trévien, also a recipient of and AHRC CDA, which she held in the French Department at the University of Warwick and myself. We ‘tombstone catalogued’ some 250 prints each, analysing the following: date, the identification of printing method and style, identification of subject and theme, a description of the image, translation and description of the text, as well as the construction of a theme-based search engine. My own contribution was the first and fourth of the large volumes in which the prints are kept (accession numbers: 4232.1 and 4222). Additional background research has also been conducted for each print, extended upon in the final in-depth analyses of circa 30 prints on my part. The items which received this treatment under my individual care were acc. nos: 4222.7.4, 4222.9.8, 4222.10.11, 4222.13.16, 4222.14.17, 4222.21.27, 4222.35.44, 4222.47.61, 4232.1.13.27, 4232.1.19.40, 4232.1.23.46, 4232.1.42.83, 4232.1.43.85, 4232.1.43.86, 4232.1.46.92, 4232.1.48.96, 4232.1.52.104, 4232.1.52.107, 4232.1.57.113, 4232.1.69.142, 4232.1.70.144, 4232.1.80.164, 4232.1.83.170, 4232.1.84.171, 4232.2.24.38, 4232.2.31.50, 4232.2.31.51, 4232.2.35.61 and 4232.2.47.80 (http://www.waddesdon.org.uk/collection/special-projects/tableaux-paul). The work done at Waddesdon Manor also proved invaluable vis-à-vis my thesis. The study of the prints laid the groundwork for me to broaden my knowledge of prints as a visual medium. In addition to this, an exhibition of the Tableaux de la Révolution was held at Waddesdon Manor in summer 2011. Part of the impact of the final catalogue also included a public lecture and ‘hands-on’ session, which I co-hosted with Claire Trévien. The catalogue of the Tableaux de la Révolution may be consulted on the Waddesdon website at: http://waddesdon.org.uk/collection/special-projects/tableau.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research was to generate a grounded theory of how mothers of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), experience parenting their child. Interviews were conducted with eight mothers who all had at least one child with ADHD who was under seven years of age. The period that had elapsed since diagnosis ranged from two months to four years. The interview data was analysed using the grounded theory method. Analysis revealed that the mothers' main task from pre- diagnosis to four years post diagnosis was to 'adapt' to their child. The mothers had to adapt to the effects of having a child with ADHD, they had to adopt new coping strategies and there was also found to be adaptation taking place in the wider systems, such as health and education. Findings suggest that there is a developmental trajectory of how mothers adjust to this disorder over time. Recommendations are made for the implementation of multi-disciplinary assessment for ADHD and the use of groups for mothers focusing on behaviour management, attachment issues and the building up of relationships between the mothers.

Full textAbstract:
???Journey??? as a term in the dictionary, indicates a distance covered in travelling, usually by land, from one place to another. In my paper, ???journey??? becomes equal to life experience, consisting of time, space or place, and thoughts. I see my life as a linear journey, made up of many points, in different time and space, facing diverse scenes, causing various emotions, and creating distinct relationships with the world. My project deals with time, space and thoughts in my life???s journey. I have turned to the space of everyday life in order to explore its shifting physical, social and psychological dimensions. This is where I would locate my work in relation to Contemporary Art, where the relationship between the inner and outer world, between private and public, between art and everyday, are also the key issues. These are my truly personal experience of my stay in Australia, where I have been provided an opportunity to experience the differences in various ways. Since all experiences take place in time and space, the two categories provide a comprehensive framework, in which my thoughts have a place to occur and develop. In my real life experience, what I have been through is not only to confront the conflicts and the uneasiness, but also to understand the differences, and then to accept and get used to these until I have harmony in my heart.

My art explores the traditional elements of line, value, and texture. I use pencil and charcoal to create my drawings, and use the computer to alter and enhance my photographs. I also explore the relationships created through the combination of traditional and digital processes. Through the process of drawing, scanning, and layering images on the computer, I reveal details created by the contrast of these media. My goal is to successfully combine and balance traditional art practices with digital technology.

Taner, Melis. ""Caught in a Whirlwind:" Painting in Baghdad in the Late Sixteenth-Early Seventeenth Centuries." Thesis, Harvard University, 2016. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:33493409.
Full textAbstract:
Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the province of Baghdad changed hands between the Aq Qoyunlu Turkmen tribal confederation, the Safavids and the Ottomans. From the last decade of the sixteenth to the first few years of the seventeenth centuries, there was a florescence of art production in Baghdad, at a time when the province was under Ottoman rule. This dissertation focuses on a period of rivalry and exchange between the Sunni Ottoman and the Shiʿite Safavid dynasties in the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries and elucidates the appearance and disappearance of a lively, yet short-lived, art market in the frontier province of Baghdad. A close study of the corpus of over thirty illustrated manuscripts, often described as exhibiting an “eclectic” style, and produced in Baghdad within a decade, shows that there was a broadening base of patronage as well as an open market for the purchase of art.
While scholarship on the art of the book in Baghdad considers the corpus of illustrated manuscripts solely from the perspective of an Ottoman “context,” this dissertation takes a broader, transregional perspective and studies the art market in Baghdad through the complex layers of Ottoman and Safavid relations. It questions notions of a “school” of painting and emphasizes movement and encounters instead. It also proposes that in the context of an early modern consolidation of imperial identity (represented purposefully distinctly through monumental architecture, painting, decoration, objects in the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires), Baghdad as a frontier province between the Ottomans and the Safavids challenges notions of cultural, ornamental and decorative idioms. Its hybridity is the very product of the “whirlwind” of affairs between the Ottomans and the Safavids.
The dissertation begins with a study of Ottoman-Safavid relations from the last quarter of the sixteenth to the first quarter of the seventeenth centuries. Making use of an unpublished history of Baghdad along with other published and unpublished chronicles, it presents an overview of the complex relations between the two rival empires as well as between the center, Istanbul and the province, Baghdad. This sets the background to the following chapters. Chapter 2 concentrates on a group of single-page paintings produced in Baghdad, which have heretofore escaped scholarly attention. These paintings bespeak a broadening base of patronage as well as an increasing interest in collecting art. The following chapter concerns illustrated popular religious literature, which constitutes the majority of manuscripts produced in Baghdad. It raises questions on the use of models, repetition of compositions and production of illustrated manuscripts for the speculative market. The fourth chapter takes a different turn and concentrates on the patronage of one of the eminent governors of Baghdad, Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa (d. 1602). Focusing on the ambitious project of an illustrated universal history, which was composed for this governor by a Baghdadi author, this chapter deals with the conception of history in the province. The final chapter brings attention to a group of illustrated genealogies most likely produced for the open market. These Ottoman-Turkish genealogies place the Ottoman dynasty as the pinnacle of history. However, one early-seventeenth-century manuscript in Persian turns the genre on its head and presents a pro-Safavid view through text and image within a largely Ottoman genre. Alterations done to its text to then suit a possible Ottoman owner highlight the in-betweenness of Baghdad.History of Art and Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Senchimentaru na tabi fuyu no tabi or Sentimental Journey/Winter Journey, a photobook created and published by photographer Araki Nobuyoshi in 1991, documented two highly personal events of the photographer's life. The first section consists of twenty-two images of Araki's 1971 honeymoon with his wife Yōko Aoki, while the second section features ninety-one images and an essay documenting the last six months of Yōko's life in 1989-90. This thesis measures SJ/WJ against a Japanese literary tradition invoked by Araki in his opening manifesto: the shishōsetsu. A genre of writing from the early 1900's that read like a confessional or personal diary, the shishōsetsu was regarded as a `true' story insofar as it revealed a totally transparent `author' within a totally transparent `text.' Given these criteria, this thesis determines the success of Araki's SJ/WJ as a true-to-life autobiography.

This is a copy of my thesis which I have written in its original form as a travel journal that I brought with me on a trip I took driving across the country. I have duplicated it word for word so that it may be more accessible to review. Accompanying this copy are a few photographic samples of different places I've been that offer a visual feeling of what I'm talking ahout thru-out the journal. The original copy of the journal will be displayed as part of my show (March 1st-5th at the Oliver Gallery) and can be viewed in its entirety.
The form of this thesis is in journal format so you as a reader will enter right into my life on a specific data and will follow my experiences on a daily basis. The writing is done with no consideration to proper grammar so that I could flow better when I wrote it. In a lot of ways the creation of this project parallels my painting processes. The journal exists as an object that I have transformed through layers of words and images and materials that all together form an overall "big story" in it about who I am. My paintings seem to follow the same master and even though they have individual personalities they as a whole tell my story. All these different ways of communicating my experiences (painting, writing, talking) have brought out a variety of ways of remembering them and the explanation of them as stories of voice and words and paint.

Full textAbstract:
Artist Statement
My art is about seeking answers to personal conflicts while telling a story of a
chaotic journey. I reflect on everyday moments and my thoughts as I discover ways to
make sense of situations and life. I do this by creating textural, vibrantly colored, and
gestural surfaces that emulate the powerful waters of the seas. I want to reveal an
emotionally driven and process-oriented experience to the viewer. While creating, I do
not maintain full control of the media and let the process become part of the work.
I aggressively layer thick paint, glass, and mixed media. I spontaneously apply
spirals and swirls of vibrant color that undulate and rotate like waves of an ocean. The
spirals and swirls are a recurring motif in my work. These forms are ancient symbols of
evolution, growth, and change and reflect the examination of my life. The colors and
marks represent the turbulent and constant chaos of life.

Full textAbstract:
My paintings, sculptural work, photography, and mixed media pieces represent aspects of journeys. These journeys are presented as literal, physical, and psychological. I find myself impacted by recent journeys which have evolved into abstracted pieces representing a new life passage, motherhood. Creating this work helps me to express the surrounding beauty I continue to encounter. Collectively, these journeys unify my metaphorical journey through life. The process of making my art is also a journey. My images shift and transform through the process of development. I work with a variety of materials including watercolor, acrylic, paper, textured paste, plaster, and photographic images on canvas. Layering and applying various materials to create texture becomes an instinctive act. More planned is my use of color, which signifies steps in my journey, such as violet indicating transformation, red implying excitement, and yellow showing joy.

Full textAbstract:
With the 2012 releases of The Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers, writer/director Joss Whedon moved beyond his cult status and into the mainstream. His cult television work, however, remains admired in both the popular imagination and in the academic world of popular culture studies. This year’s CSCA13 corresponds with the ten-year anniversary of the cancellation of Whedon’s first successful cult television show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Whedon’s other work, including Firefly, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog, Dollhouse, Angel, etc., are not only cult fan favorites, but favorites in popular culture academia. The participants on this panel will explore various aspects of Whedon and the Whedonverse, including: Whedon’s rhetorical framing regarding his transformation from cult director to mainstream phenom; his genre-bending frameworks across his various projects; his examination of gender roles; exploring and exploding Whedon’s use of mythology; and how Whedon’s characters manage to out-organize formal organizations.

In this thesis, I investigate possible improvements to the design of a wheelchair for manufacture in a developing nation, specifically one designed for use by persons with hemiplegia. Ralf Hotchkiss's "Whirlwind" Wheelchair is currently manufactured with local materials in many developing nations. It provides both an affordable source of quality wheelchairs for the populace as well as a source of employment. J.A. van Alphen and D.R. Arbib made modifications to the original Wheelchair design so that it would be usable by hemiplegics. However, on manufacture in Duranguito, Mexico, the chair was deemed unusable due to certain flaws. After analyzing the design of the chair, potential solutions for the two most critical problems are suggested, taking care to avoid undue increases in cost or complexity of manufacture.

Full textAbstract:
'A Writer’s Journey' is a memoir that describes my journey through a creative block, during which time I also explored the practice of mindfulness. Throughout the memoir I draw parallels between creativity and the practice of mindfulness, concluding that that both require a non-judgemental, playful, curious mind set which is not attached to a set outcome. Both creativity and mindful awareness ultimately require a deconstruction of the self in order to attain new insights, or growth. A Writer’s Way describes my efforts to achieve a deconstruction of the self through mindful awareness in order to restore my creativity. A Writer’s Journey therefore explicitly aligns two paradigms: the creative process and spiritual growth. However, as a quest narrative, A Writer’s Journey also implicitly aligns a third paradigm: the mythic archetype or universal symbolic story structure as outlined in Joseph Campbell’s monomyth The Hero’s Journey. In all three paradigms the ‘protagonist’ experiences an initial dissatisfaction followed by a period of dialectic tension, after which they must deconstruct their egoic self and move beyond conditioned thinking to receive new insights. The original contribution of the critical commentary is a close examination of the ways in which the mythic archetype and the creative process are aligned. I conclude that the archetype can be read as a metaphor for the creative process itself (the mythic approach to creativity), and that the message implicit in the archetype is ‘live creatively’. Reading the mythic archetype as a metaphor for the creative process has implications for our understanding of the purpose of story as well as our understanding of the mechanisms of the creative process. I explore this in ‘Chapter 3 – What Do Stories Do?’ I suggest that the annihilation of the egoic self that the hero experiences in the belly of the whale is analogous with the incubation phase required for creative insight. In both paradigms, I suggest that a temporary ‘deconstruction of the self’ is required before new insights or growth can be attained. A deconstruction of the self is the ultimate aim of the practice of mindful meditation, or mindful awareness. The critical commentary also makes explicit how the memoir conforms to the stages of the mythic archetype. As a quest narrative in which the quest is creativity itself, A Writer’s Journey illustrates the mythic approach to creativity. It also illustrates the mythic approach to spirituality. I believe that the original contribution of the creative folio, therefore, is that it demonstrates the mythic approach to both creativity and spirituality, in the form of a reading memoir.

Full textAbstract:
The following work has compiled over the course of my time spent at Claremont Graduate University. Through my time in the program I have not only developed as an educator but an individual as well. My journey began simply by looking at myself and who I am. I thought I knew who I was, but as I continued with my courses, spent more time in the classroom, and engaged in professional relationships I began to wonder. Throughout this ethnography, I will share my experiences and journey through this roller coaster year. However, as I reflect now, I can begin to appreciate the journey I have been on and look forward to what lies ahead.
I began my journey fresh out of my undergrad program ready to begin my teaching career. Coming into this program I felt ready to take on anything they threw at me because, obviously, I was prepared. My work through this ethnography has shown me that although my past experiences did provide a great foundation, there was much more to learn and experience. As I spent the second portion of this writing getting to know my focus students, I realized that I had spent so much time in my own world that I needed to step back and observe and appreciate all that was around me. This idea lent itself to the third section of my ethnography. Here I was at a school seven minutes from my home and I had never seen it. There was this whole world down the street that I had never experienced, but my students lived every single day.
My work this past year has been a reflection of my growth as a teacher, a person, and a student. The adage “You learn something new everyday” has never been more prevalent than on my journey through the Claremont Graduate University, Teacher Education program. However trying and overwhelming it all was, I still had my family, my friends, and my students to keep my head above water and keep me going. I dedicate this ethnography to them all because without their love and support through this tumultuous journey, I would not be walking away the educator I am today.

Full textAbstract:
My ongoing series of assemblages are an expression my modern mythology through the juxtaposition of esoteric symbols and my collection of beloved action figures. Though myth is founded in partial truths and allegories, it has the unique capability to speak about our relationships to one another and the universe. My artwork conceives of anime, comics, and videos games as part of our contemporary mythology.
Inspired by a fusion of pop culture and spirituality, I also draw on the magical properties attributed to flowers, gemstones and other materials to create shrines, altars, and other objects. Juxtaposing these properties, found in my research of esotericism and mythology, with action figures establishes symbolic connections that act as an interface to the spiritual symbolism explored in each piece.
The collision of masking tape, shoe polish, flowers; gemstones and repurposed objects result in re-contextualizations of characters from popular culture. My practice suggests new possibilities for cultural symbolism reflective of my own unique experiences and values and as an active expression of creative freedom in our experiences of the divine. My assemblages re-examine traditional categorizations in art and culture, such as sacred and profane and high and low, while attempting to demystify the veil that separates the experiential from the transcendent.

This written thesis accompanies a 32-minute documentary video, Journey for Jazz, which explores four Korean students who major in jazz at the University of North Texas in Denton. Detailed accounts of the pre-production, production, and post-production of the video guide the reader to understand the challenging and rewarding process of making this documentary. Theoretical issues are also discussed, including Bill Nichols's typology of documentary modes as a useful tool for analysis of hybrid documentaries and conventions of the observational and interactive mode in Journey for Jazz, which is considered a hybrid of both modes. The film focuses mainly on the scholarly and artistic experiences that the four students undergo while studying jazz in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
The Chairman of the advertising agency, Foote, Cone and Belding, claimed that the launch of the new advertising medium of commercial television, in 1955, was a ’whirlwind’ for his industry. New disciplines, new techniques, and new relationships with the production industry had to be established, and existing campaigns in press had to be transferred to television, an advertising medium that London agencies had no experience with. Also, for the first time, agencies had to work within a regulatory process established by legislation, and policed by the Independent Television Authority. The Authority was tasked with a public service remit to protect citizens both as viewers of television and the consumers of branded goods. The acceptance of viewers, of the commercials on this new television channel. was central to the concerns of both the advertising industry and the regulator. To identify the extent of the impact of commercial television advertising, on the advertising industry, advertising regulation and the viewers, this thesis draws on contemporary research carried out by the BBC, archival material from the regulatory authority and the representative organisations of the advertising industry, and the trade press, and combines this with new interviews with practitioners, working in the advertising and television industries, from 1954-1964. Using material from advertising archives, the thesis also examines the advertising of one important category of advertised goods, washing powders, to identify how the advertising agencies evolved their clients’ advertising, from press, to the new advertising medium of television.

Full textAbstract:
The customer journey is a re-submerged subject which has become increasingly relevant. The focus derives from the increased focus on customer experience as touch points are increasing as well as becoming more accessible. This is creating problems for companies to allocate their resources in marketing. Previous literature on customer journeys are also limited, mostly originating from research on customer experience. This motivates research within the field with the purpose of exploring the customer journey and connected phenomena. The basis of this thesis was the customer journey which derives from customer experience. Further, the theoretical framework presents theories about customer experience, consumer buying decisions, customer journey and its touch points. The theoretical framework also presents two conceptual models concerning customer journey and customer experience. Focus was here on exploring the formulation of the customer journey, its steps and components. But also, on investigating how customer experiences affects customer journeys. This thesis had a qualitative research strategy and empirical material was collected through interviews. The empirical findings and the analysis resulted in several conclusions as this was an exploratory study. Reason for use of route, use of different touch points, customer experience impact and were found. Furthermore, the customer journey itself was identified as a reason for conducting a purchase. The result of this thesis might help companies allocate their resources more efficiently between touch points. As well as understanding how to create positive customer experience and the importance of it.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the archetypes, motifs, and stages of the Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey as they are found in the Moldvay revision of the rules to Basic Dungeons & Dragons, that emerge from playing the game using the seven adventure modules printed for these rules. Using narratological concepts, the definition of what makes narrative is expanded to include the narrative that emerges by playing story-based roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. These narratives, based on the seven adventure modules, are the analyzed using Campbell's monomyth as an interpretive tool, showing that these types of narratives are up to similar academic scrutiny as other forms of narrative. Such scrutiny shows that the types of narrative that emerge from playing a tabletop roleplaying game like Dungeons & Dragons need an expansion of the models for narrative analysis. This expansion presents a myriad of opportunities for future study.

This work aims at a study of James Joyce's VubZ-ín&Aò as a collection of stories with a unity of theme, scene and characters. The stories are seen here in their depiction of childhood, adolescence, adulthood and public life as a progression of one to the other, leading to a final blending of subject in the last c story, "The Dead". The path that leads to the understanding of this blending goes through diverse by-ways, all of them oriented by the study of transtextual relations Joyce's style, the relationship between his life and work, and the inescapable internal allusions within his fiction and his letters..

Farias, Lauren. "Ethnography: Journey to Teaching." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2019. https://scholarship.claremont.edu/cgu_etd/122.
Full textAbstract:
This paper is an ethnography, meaning the study of a group of people more closely related to the customs and culture of the group of people. This was done as part of the coursework to receive a Masters in Education and a Preliminary Multiple Subject teaching credential in California. I began by looking at how the varying experiences throughout my life have shaped me into wanting to become a teacher. This is a place in the ethnography where I evaluate my own schooling and look at who impacted my life academically. Through looking at these people, I was able to see the kind of learning style I flourish in, which lead me into how I plan on teaching. Once I wrote about how I plan on teaching I evaluated why I want to teach special education.
The next phase of this writing is looking at three specific students in my classroom and is an analytical view of who the child is and why they are the way they are. We were told we needed to look at an English Learner, a student who had experienced a significant life experience, and a student on an IEP. This process was very helpful in being able to understand the child holistically because we needed to participate in a home visit. We also needed to look at the child’s personality, strengths, and weaknesses in and out of school. All of these steps helped me to better understand my students.
As the research continued I looked at the community and my classroom. Looking at the history of the community through research and through a personal interview allowed me to see the community and be able to understand more. I was able to see how the community has evolved and how their passion for education has remained the same through it all. When looking at my classroom, I saw the growth my students had made over the course of the school year.

Adams, Trevor W. "A black hero's journey." Thesis, Anglia Ruskin University, 2014. http://arro.anglia.ac.uk/583105/.
Full textAbstract:
There is a dearth of Black male education success stories and a lack of documenting by some pastoral practitioners of their model of pastoral care. The absence of both my story and model was due to traumatic memories. As a Black male pastor and educator, seen as a role model, working to inspire Black young males disaffected in their education, the absence blocked my practice advancement. Therefore, I used this problem for a self-reflective study on my practice to put my record straight. First I revisited a snapshot of my educational past and contemporary practice using a Black metaphorical redemptive lens to see my study as a Black hero’s journey. Second, I imagined myself through a Johari Awareness Model in reflective conversation with myself, Jesus Christ, and others. Third, I located my work within a practical theological paradigm and used autoethnographic methodological approach and methods to gather and analyse my data. Finally, I subjected my findings to a discussion interpreted through my conceptual lens to see what would emerge. Hidden insights underpinning my practice were surfaced providing me with a new view of my life and way of being in my practice. Captured in the form of my autoethnography, this serves as a new Black cultural symbolic resource. This gives documented access to my education success story. It also models my pastoral practice which now enables me to share with others, through symbolic modelling, the current best knowledge and practices underpinning my work. My study is an innovative use of inner experiences for Black professional advancement from blocked traumatic memories. It provides a new model within the field of practical theology, by which others might see a theology by heart beyond the usage of text for professional development. My inquiry makes me more transparent and a better role model for student and colleagues.

As the title suggests, the theme of this thesis is one of exploration and journey. The journey in question is essentially one of a spiritual nature. The process of conveying this motion in musical terms presented me with many challenges. The musical scores draw their inspiration from cultures as diverse as the rhythms of West Africa the overtone chanting of Tibet and Native American spiritual chants. It is predominantly these sources, that sit outside the European classical tradition, which enable me to write meaningful music that echoes both the philosophical and spiritual ideas I need to communicate. Some of the music presented here, however, gains its impetus from political issues of particular importance to myself. Meditation- double bass; dur. 8 mins.

I detta kandidatarbete har vi undersökt hur berättarstrukturen The Hero’s Journey kan användas för att skapa mera engagerande spelupplevelser. Vi gör detta genom att gå igenom en designprocess där vi använder oss av olika designmetoder för att skapa ett exempel på hur The Hero’s Journey kan appliceras i spelform. Resultatet av undersökningen blir ett spel där The Hero’s Journey används i ett Branching Narrative. Syftet med denna undersökning är att se hur The Hero’s Journey kan användas för att skapa en mera engagerande spelupplevelse och vi anser att detta kan vara givande för andra spelutvecklare som tänker använda sig av The Hero’s Journey strukturen för att skapa engagerande spel.

Full textAbstract:
Having studied as a Kagyu Tibetan Buddhist for many years, my understanding of these teachings is that the only place a person can become enlightened is in the human realm. There are realms other than the human one, such as the hell realm where one suffers from heat and cold, the hungry ghost realm where one suffers from hunger and thirst, and the animal realm where one suffers from ignorance and stupidity which leads to blind instinctive behavior, but there are no dharma teachings in those places. The dictionary defines dharma as "the principle or law that governs the universe in Hinduism and Buddhism." It is only in the human realm that the dharma is taught by enlightened teachers. Only humans have the inner ability and capacity for this understanding. These dharma teachings form the core of my belief that everything we do is important, even though it might simply be some ordinary, mundane action. With this conviction of the truth of the dharma, each sentient being is a soul with countless lifetimes, sometimes as a human, sometimes as an insect, animal or other being. Each lifetime in which a soul incarnates is like a suit of clothes that the soul puts on. When the suit wears out, it is discarded, and a new one is made. During these lifetimes, certain souls have karmic connections with other similar souls. Karma is defined as "the effect of a person's actions during the successive phases of a person's existences, regarded as determining the person's destiny." Lama Rinchen, one of my teachers of spirituality, says, "When you see someone on the street, or at the mall, and your eyes meet, you are connected to that person in some way." These souls with karmic connections tend to travel together, and after many lifetimes, special bonds are formed. I have been lucky to find one soul mate, and to have spent the greater part of my life with him. The bond between us has helped to define my life. Though we are two separate people, our hearts beat in syncopation with each other, like a vast landscape that seems to go on forever, or that which becomes as minute as the striations on a blade of grass.vi, 31 leaves

This degree project consists of “A photographic journey through Vietnam”. One month was spent in Vietnam where the different aspects of the Vietnamese life were documented in images. The journey began in Hanoi and descended down the country to Ho Chi Minh City.The report describes the compositional elements of photography and makes an attempt to describe what a “good” image is. Furthermore it explains what equipment that is necessary for such a journey and how you can interact with the local population.When the journey came to an end, a photographic book consisting of 200 images was created. The report details the used workflow step by step. Finally the author has commented 20 of the selected images regarding their photographic composition.

Full textAbstract:
Under the Treaty Establishing the European Community, corporations are entitled to free establishment. Recently, the European Court of Justice's Inspire Art decision has clarified its scope and has in principle introduced place of incorporation doctrine as choice-of-law rule, thus granting corporations free choice of the Member State of incorporation. In the US, free choice has caused the "Delaware Effect". This paper analyzes if Inspire Art will cause a similar development in the EU. The EU and US contexts will be compared. Germany will serve as an example. As different circumstances exist in the EU, free choice is more limited and fraught with uncertainties. The thesis of this paper is that regulatory competition in the EU is unlikely and not desirable because of cultural differences. Therefore, minimum harmonization is preferable.
