Ko te kookoomuka te raakau i tunua ai te moa. (There is a proper use for everything and only by means of correct useage can the optimum result be obtained) This thesis proposes a model for research into traditional Maori kaupapa. Maori Studies is interdisciplinary in that it combines aspects of a considerable number of other disciplines and adds a further perspective of its own. However, despite the cross-overs with, for example, Anthropology, History, Linguistics, Art History, etc., Maori Studies provides its own unique, emic prespective which adds both depth and breadth to the study. Accordingly, research into kaupapa Maori requires a Maori model which draws from associated disciplines, forms interpretations according to the Maori world view and integrates all the various forms of evidence so that gaps in one area may be filled from another. Some steps towards resolution are proposed where the different forms of evidence seem to contradict, rather than complement each other. In particular the etic versus emic approach is examined with a view. Accordingly, the thesis will include an approach to the analysis and incorporation of traditional information available from: interviews; art; waiata; whakataukii; placenames; whakapapa; manuscripts and early census figures as well as the publised sources which are available. All must be compared with the contemporary oral record of past events, especially since much Maori tradition is political in nature, and the political perspective can change over time ("The Maori Camel"-paper presented to Pouhere Korero/NZHA Conference February 1996). (One of the particular strengths of Maori language material such as placenames, waiata, whakapapa, and whakatauki is that they have usually been repeated verbatim, often by people who hadn�t the language ability to change them. Therefore, like manuscripts they are frozen in time; unlike contemporary oral evidence where stories are retold in each generation.) The case studies look at the traditional Maori perspective on each of the topics and compares it with any research which has been done in Non-Maori ways. (For example, in Case Study 1., Maori knowledge which has been gathered by following the model proposed in this thesis is compared with botanical knowledge about cabbage trees.) Maori language material is not translated but handled in the original and discussed in Maori when a more productive discussion is thus facilitated, therefore resulting in a bi-lingual thesis. For Maori Studies to be fully accepted as having the same mana as other academic disciplines requires full acceptance of the bilingual nature of Maori Studies. However, in the iterests [sic] of wider accessibility, the majority of the discussion will be in English.

Tutkin kandidaatintutkielmassa vokaalivartaloiden yleistymistä potentiaalimuodoissa verbeissä tulla, tehdä, nähdä, surra ja purra. Vokaalivartaloiden yleistyminen eli vokaalivartaloistuminen on morfologinen muutos, joka on ollut käynnissä suomen kielessä satoja vuosia. Toiset vokaalivartaloistuneet muodot ovat jo osa yleiskieltä (sunna > sutena) ja toiset esiintyvät vielä norminvastaisina innovaatioina (*käteä pro kättä). Potentiaalissa on myös havaittu norminvastaisia vokaalivartaloita kuten *tulenee pro tullee. Tutkimuksessani selvitän, minkälaisia vokaalivartaloistuneita muotoja tutkimissani verbeissä esiintyy ja miten ne jakautuvat muotoryhmiin. Vertailen tutkimustuloksiani myös Palviaisen ja Västin (2017, 2018) hypoteesiin, jonka mukaan vokaalivartaloistuminen on yleisempää harvinaisemmissa perussanamaisissa sanoissa kuin yleisemmissä. Yleisemmät perussanat aineistossani ovat tulla, tehdä ja nähdä. Harvinaisia perussanoja edustavat surra ja purra. Keräsin aineistoni Ylilaudan ja Suomi24:n keskustelupalstoilta.

Exposed weathering profiles of a series of Pololu lava flows in Kohala, Hawaii are ideal for investigating the sequence of reactions/reaction pathways of weathered basalt. Weathering reactions for saprolites show mineral sequences that include feldspar → halloysite ± gibbsite + solutes; clinopyroxene → hematite + minor halloysite + solutes; olivine → hematite + solutes; magnetite → hematite or other Fe-oxides/hydroxides. However, the presence of smectite in four samples suggests that smectite-group clays may form as short lived intermediates at the base of the weathering profile. Regionally, on Kohala, soils and saprolites are dominated by halloysite with small quantities of other clays such as kaolinite, gibbsite, and smectite. However, one horizon in the weathering profile at the study site in Kohala is dominated by gibbsite. Smectite is found at the base of the profile above impermeable areas where mass leaching has left increased alkaline and alkaline earth elemental (Mg, Ca, Na, and K) abundances relative to the parent rock. The amount of elemental gain varies from -5% to +75% for samples with smectite. Different climates generate different weathering profile depths. MASW (multi-channel analysis of surface waves) shows that the depth of the weathering profile is 15 meters. Seismic profiles correlate the depth of the weathering profile inland (~15 meters), with cliff face (~13 meters). Other than the gibbsite horizon, most mineral zones are too thin to be resolved through second-order velocity variations. P-wave reflection surveys are unsuitable for imaging the base of the weathering front because the transition to fresh rock may be gradational. However, within the saprolite section, boundaries between relict lava flow textures produce reflections that mimic expected stratigraphic patterns. Perpendicular to the shoreline, reflectors dip gently seaward, whereas parallel to the shoreline, lenticular packages of relict lava flows are observed.

Abstract Barkhausen noise measurement is an intriguing non-destructive testing method suitable for ferromagnetic materials. It is based on the stochastic movements of magnetic domain walls when the tested sample is placed in an external varying magnetic field. Barkhausen noise is typically utilised so that some features are calculated from the signal and then compared with the studied material properties. Typical features are, for example, the root-mean-square value (RMS), peak height, width and position. Better utilisation of the method, however, requires quantitative predictions of material properties. The aim of this thesis is to study and select a suitable methodology for the quantitative prediction of material properties based on Barkhausen noise measurement. The prediction considered is divided into four steps: feature generation, feature selection, model identification and model validation. In feature generation, a large set of features is calculated with different mathematical procedures. This feature set is explored in the feature selection step to find the most significant features in terms of predictions. A model with the selected features is identified and some independent data are usually used for model validation. This thesis presents the developed procedures required in feature generation and the results of the studies using different feature selection strategies and modelling techniques. The studied feature selection methods are forward selection, simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. In addition, two-step algorithms are investigated where a pre-selection step is used before the actual selection. The modelling techniques used are multivariable linear regression, partial least squares regression, principal component regression and artificial neural networks. The studies also consider the use and effect of different objective functions. The results of the studies show that the proposed modelling scheme can be used for the prediction task. The models identified mainly include reasonable terms and the prediction accuracy is fairly good considering the challenge. However, the application of Barkhausen noise measurement is very case-dependent and thus conflicts may occur. Furthermore, the changes in unmeasured material properties may lead to the unexpected behaviour of some features. The results show that linear models are adequate for capturing the major interactions between material properties and Barkhausen noise but indicate that the use of neural networks would lead to better model performance. The results also show that genetic algorithms give better selection results but at the expense of the computational cost
Tiivistelmä Barkhausen-kohina-mittaus on ferromagneettisille materiaaleille soveltuva materiaalia rikkomaton testausmenetelmä. Mittaus perustuu magneettisten alueiden välisten rajapintojen stokastisiin liikkeisiin, kun testattava kappale asetetaan vaihtuvaan magneettikenttään. Tyypillisesti Barkhausen-kohina-mittaussignaalista lasketaan piirteitä, joita sitten verrataan tutkittaviin materiaaliominaisuuksiin. Usein käytettyjä piirteitä ovat signaalin keskineliön neliöjuuri (RMS-arvo) sekä piikin korkeus, leveys ja paikka. Menetelmää voidaan soveltaa paremmin, jos tutkittavia materiaaliominaisuuksia voidaan ennustaa kvantitatiivisesti. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tutkia ja valita menetelmiä, jotka soveltuvat materiaaliominaisuuksien kvantitatiiviseen ennustamiseen Barkhausen-kohina-mittauksen perusteella. Ennustusmallit luodaan neljässä vaiheessa: piirteiden laskenta, piirteiden valinta, mallin identifiointi ja mallin validointi. Piirteiden laskennassa yhdistellään erilaisia matemaattisia laskutoimituksia, joista tuloksena saadaan suuri joukko erilaisia piirteitä. Tästä joukosta valitaan ennustukseen soveltuvimmat piirteiden valinta -vaiheessa. Tämän jälkeen ennustusmalli identifioidaan ja viimeisessä vaiheessa sen toimivuus todennetaan riippumattomalla testausaineistolla. Väitöskirjassa esitetään piirteiden laskentaan kehitettyjä algoritmeja sekä mallinnustuloksia käytettäessä erilaisia piirteiden valintamenetelmiä ja mallinnustekniikoita. Tutkitut valintamenetelmät ovat eteenpäin valinta, taaksepäin eliminointi, simuloitu jäähtyminen ja geneettiset algoritmit. Väitöskirjassa esitellään myös kaksivaiheisia valintamenettelyjä, joissa ennen varsinaista piirteiden valintaa suoritetaan esivalinta. Käytetyt mallinnustekniikat ovat monimuuttujaregressio, osittainen pienimmän neliösumman regressio, pääkomponenttiregressio ja neuroverkot. Tarkasteluissa huomioidaan myös erilaisten kustannusfunktioiden vaikutukset. Esitetyt tulokset osoittavat, että käytetyt menetelmät soveltuvat materiaaliominaisuuksien kvantitatiiviseen ennustamiseen. Identifioidut mallit sisältävät pääasiassa perusteltavia termejä ja mallinnustarkkuus on tyydyttävä. Barkhausen-kohina-mittaus on kuitenkin erittäin tapauskohtainen ja täten ristiriitoja kirjallisuuden kanssa voidaan joskus havaita. Näihin ristiriitoihin vaikuttavat myös ei-mitattavat muutokset materiaaliominaisuuksissa. Esitetyt tulokset osoittavat, että lineaariset mallit kykenevät ennustamaan suurimmat vuorovaikutukset materiaaliominaisuuksien ja Barkhausen-kohinan välillä. Tulokset kuitenkin viittaavat siihen, että neuroverkoilla päästäisiin vielä parempiin mallinnustuloksiin. Tulokset osoittavat myös, että geneettiset algoritmit toimivat piirteiden valinnassa paremmin kuin muut tutkitut menetelmät

Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a significant social problem facing young Māori (the indigenous people of New Zealand) today. Whānau, a concept meaning family and including extended family, is an essential factor in the well-being of Māori. Little is known about family members‟ reactions to a child‟s DSH or their needs following DSH, especially with Māori. Some research with non-Māori suggests that both the impact of DSH and consequent needs of family members may be considerable, yet often neglected. This study examined the impact of their children‟s DSH on Māori whānau, beliefs about the motives for the young person‟s DSH, and needs following the event. The whānau of ten young people, aged 10-18 years, presenting to a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service following DSH were interviewed about the impact of the DSH, perceived motives for DSH and their needs. Five Māori clinicians were also interviewed about these topics. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis. Seven themes were identified from whānau ideas regarding motives for DSH: to communicate distress and seek help, to punish someone, to get relief from a distressing emotional state, due to the influence of others, as a response to feeling overwhelmed by difficult circumstances, to die, and the cultural influence of matakite. Clinicians presented similar motives; however, they did not mention matakite and included DSH being precipitated by social isolation. When discussing impacts of DSH, whānau reported that DSH had affected the entire whānau as well as having an effect on parents; including an emotional impact, an impact on parenting, and the concept of mental health was described as being difficult for parents to come to terms with. On the other hand, participants reported improvement in relationships within their whānau following DSH. Whānau also reported that DSH had resulted in practical difficulties. Themes derived from clinicians were similar; however, they did not discuss the effect of DSH on relationships. Whānau and clinicians both reported the need for greater levels of support and information. Implications are presented for the delivery of mental health services for young Māori and their families.

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine how librarians experience migration to an open source integrated library system (ILS) in order to analyze how humans and technology influence each other, in line with a socio-technical perspective. We therefore examine how the librarians’ attitudes change during the migration process, what difficulties and possibilities they see in each phase and what the significance of open source is in this context. The method used in this study is qualitative interviews with librarians in one public library and one university library that migrated to the ILS Koha on the same day. The theoretical framework is a socio-technical perspective and actor-network theory. To analyze the result, Michel Callon’s translation was applied to the empirical data. The results of this study show that the librarians interviewed had indifferent or positive attitudes towards Koha. We could also see that those who had roles with more responsibility in the library often showed a greater interest in the problems and community surrounding Koha. The public library experienced significantly more problems with the migration which resulted in a tough transition but did not alter their attitudes.

The first part of the work is focused on the history and last trend on library automation and integrated library systems, with specific attention on the italian context. The second part evaluates some possible use of open source software in library and open source diffusion in Italy.The third part analyze Koha, an open source ILS, and its possible application at the University of Ca' Foscari Library System.

Abstract The concept of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is built onto an original finding in 1995 that brain hemispheres present synchronous signal fluctuations with distinct patterns. fMRI measurements rely on blood oxygenation changes that indirectly mirror neural activity. Therefore, the origin of functional connectivity patterns, resting state networks (RSNs), has been a widely debated research question and numerous contributing factors have been identified. According to current understanding the fluctuations reflect maintenance of the system integrity in addition to spontaneous thought and action processes in the resting state. A popular method to study the functional connectivity in resting state fMRI is spatial independent component analysis (ICA) that decomposes signal sources into statistically independent components. The dichotomy of functional specialization versus functional integration has a correspondence in fMRI studies where RSNs play the integrative viewpoint of brain function. Although canonical large-scale RSNs are broadly distributed they also express modularity that can be accomplished by ICA with a high number of estimated components. The characteristics of high ICA dimensionality are broadly investigated in the thesis. An enduring issue in resting state research has been the confounding noise sources like motion and cardiorespiratory processes which may hamper the analysis. In this thesis the ability of ICA to separate these noise sources from the default mode network, a major RSN, is studied. Additionally, the suitability of ICA for full frequency spectrum analysis, a relatively rare setting in biosignal analysis, is investigated. The results of the thesis support the viewpoint of ICA as a robust analysis method for functional connectivity analysis. Cardiorespiratory and motion induced noise did not confound the functional connectivity analyses with ICA. High dimensional ICA provided better signal source separation, revealed the modular structure of the RSNs and pinpointed the specific aberrations in the autism spectrum disorder population. ICA was also found applicable for fully explorative analysis in both the spatial and temporal domains and indicated functional connectivity changes induced by transcranial bright light stimulation
Tiivistelmä Konsepti lepotilan tutkimisesta toiminnallisella magneettikuvauksella (engl. functional magnetic resonance imaging, fMRI) on rakentunut vuonna 1995 tehdylle löydökselle aivopuoliskojen välillä synkronisesta signaalivaihtelusta. Mittaukset perustuvat veren hapetuksen muutoksiin, jotka epäsuorasti heijastelevat hermostollista toimintaa. Tämän takia toiminnallisen kytkennällisyyden muodot, lepotilaverkostot, ovat olleet laajasti väitelty tutkimusaihe ja monia verkostoihin vaikuttavia tekijöitä onkin tunnistettu. Nykykäsityksen mukaan signaalivaihtelut lepotilassa heijastelevat järjestelmän yhtenäisyyden ylläpitoa spontaanin ajattelun ja toiminnan lisäksi. Suosittu menetelmä toiminnallisen kytkennällisyyden tutkimiseen lepotilan fMRI:ssä on spatiaalinen itsenäisten komponenttien analyysi (engl. independent component analysis, ICA), joka hajottaa signaalilähteet tilastollisesti itsenäisiin komponentteihin. Aivotoiminnan mallintamisessa kahtiajaolla toiminnalliseen erikoistumiseen ja toiminnalliseen integraatioon on vastaavuus fMRI-tutkimukseen, jossa lepotilaverkostot vastaavat toiminnallisen integraation näkökulmasta. Vaikka kanoniset lepotilaverkostot ovat laaja-alaisia, ne ovat toisaalta modulaarisia, jota voidaan tutkia tutkimalla korkean komponenttimäärän ICA-hajotelmaa. Korkea- dimensioisen ICA-hajotelman ominaisuuksia tutkitaan laajasti tässä väitöskirjassa. Kestoaihe lepotilatutkimuksessa on ollut analyysiä hankaloittavien kohinalähteiden kuten liikkeen ja kardiorespiratoristen prosessien vaikutus. Väitöskirjassa tutkitaan ICA:n kykyä erotella kohinalähteitä ’default mode’ -verkostosta, joka on merkittävin lepotilaverkosto. Lisäksi tutkitaan ICA:n soveltuvuutta täyden taajuuskaistan analysointiin, joka on verrattain harvinaista biosignaalien analyysissä. Väitöskirjan tulokset tukevat näkemystä ICA:n suorituskyvystä toiminnallisen kytkennällisyyden analyysissä. Kardiorespiratorinen ja liikkeestä lähtöisin oleva kohina ei häirinnyt merkittävästi ICA-tuloksia. Korkeadimensioinen ICA tarjosi paremman erottelun signaalilähteille, paljasti lepotilaverkostojen modulaarisen rakenteen ja määritti erityisen poikkeaman autismin kirjon oireyhtymän populaatiossa. ICA:n havaittiin olevan soveltuva täyseksploratiiviselle analyysille ajassa ja avaruudessa; tulos viittaa toiminnallisen kytkennällisyyden muutoksiin kallon läpäisevän kirkasvalostimulaation aikaansaamana

Abstract Image acquisition devices are always subject to physical limitations that often manifest as distortions in the appearance of the captured image. The most common types of distortions can be divided into two categories: geometric and radiometric distortions. Examples of the latter ones are: changes in brightness, contrast, or illumination, sensor noise and blur. Since image blur can have many different causes, it is usually not convenient and also computationally expensive to develop ad hoc algorithms to correct each specific type of blur. Instead, it is often possible to extract a blur-invariant representation of the image, and utilize such information to make algorithms that are insensitive to blur. The work presented here mainly focuses on developing techniques for the extraction and the application of blur-invariant operators. This thesis contains several contributions. First, we propose a generalized framework based on group theory to constructively generate complete blur-invariants. We construct novel operators that are invariant to a large family of blurs occurring in real scenarios: namely, those blurs that can be modeled by a convolution with a point-spread function having rotational symmetry, or combined rotational and axial symmetry. A second important contribution is represented by the utilization of such operators to develop an algorithm for blur-invariant translational image registration. This algorithm is experimentally demonstrated to be more robust than other state-of-the-art registration techniques. The blur-invariant registration algorithm is then used as pre-processing steps to several restoration methods based on image fusion, like depth-of-field extension, and multi-channel blind deconvolution. All the described techniques are then re-interpreted as a particular instance of Wiener deconvolution filtering. Thus, the third main contribution is the generalization of the blur-invariants and the registration techniques to color images, by using respectively a representation of color images based on quaternions, and the quaternion Wiener filter. This leads to the development of a blur-and-noise-robust registration algorithm for color images. We observe experimentally a significant increase in performance in both color texture recognition, and in blurred color image registration
Tiivistelmä Kuvauslaitteet ovat aina fyysisten olosuhteiden rajoittamia, mikä usein ilmenee tallennetun kuvan ilmiasun vääristyminä. Yleisimmät vääristymätyypit voidaan jakaa kahteen kategoriaan: geometrisiin ja radiometrisiin distortioihin. Jälkimmäisestä esimerkkejä ovat kirkkauden, kontrastin ja valon laadun muutokset sekä sensorin kohina ja kuvan sumeus. Koska kuvan sumeus voi johtua monista tekijöistä, yleensä ei ole tarkoitukseen sopivaa eikä laskennallisesti kannattavaa kehittää ad hoc algoritmeja erityyppisten sumeuksien korjaamiseen. Sitä vastoin on mahdollista erottaa kuvasta sumeuden invariantin edustuma ja käyttää tätä tietoa sumeudelle epäherkkien algoritmien tuottamiseen. Tässä väitöskirjassa keskitytään esittämään, millaisia eri tekniikoita voidaan käyttää sumeuden invarianttien operaattoreiden muodostamiseen ja sovellusten kehittämiseen. Tämä opinnäyte sisältää useammanlaista tieteellistä vaikuttavuutta. Ensiksi, väitöskirjassa esitellään ryhmäteoriaan perustuva yleinen viitekehys, jolla voidaan generoida sumeuden invariantteja. Konstruoimme uudentyyppisiä operaattoreita, jotka ovat monenlaiselle kuvaustilanteessa ilmenevälle sumeudelle invariantteja. Kyseessä ovat ne rotationaalisesti (ja/tai aksiaalisesti) symmetrisen sumeuden lajit, jotka voidaan mallintaa pistelähteen hajaantumisen funktion (PSF) konvoluutiolla. Toinen tämän väitöskirjan tärkeä tutkimuksellinen anti on esitettyjen sumeuden invarianttien operaattoreiden hyödyntäminen algoritmin kehittelyssä, joka on käytössä translatorisen kuvan rekisteröinnissä. Tällainen algoritmi on tässä tutkimuksessa osoitettu kokeellisesti johtavia kuvien rekisteröintitekniikoita robustimmaksi. Sumeuden invariantin rekisteröinnin algoritmia on käytetty esiprosessointina tässä tutkimuksessa useissa kuvien restaurointimenetelmissä, jotka perustuvat kuvan fuusioon, kuten syväterävyysaluelaajennus ja monikanavainen dekonvoluutio. Kaikki kuvatut tekniikat ovat lopulta uudelleen tulkittu erityistapauksena Wienerin dekonvoluution suodattimesta. Näin ollen tutkimuksen kolmas saavutus on sumeuden invarianttien ja rekisteröintiteknikoiden yleistäminen värikuviin käyttämällä värikuvien kvaternion edustumaa sekä Wienerin kvaternion suodatinta. Havaitsemme kokeellisesti merkittävän parannuksen sekä väritekstuurin tunnistuksessa että sumean kuvan rekisteröinnissä

Effect of Air and Chilled Emulsion Minimum Quantity Lubrication in Machining Hard to Cut Metals A novel approach of cutting fluid application was developed and its performance in machining hard to cut metalswas investigated. The study focused on turning AISI P20 and D2 tool steels using coated carbide cutting tools. For this study, an improved minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method named, air and chilled emulsion minimum quantity lubrication (ACEMQL) method was developed to evaluate its effect on tool life and surface finish of material being machined. Trials were carried outfor ACEMQL with cutting fluid temperatures from 5°C to 20 °C in steps of 5 °C.In order to obtain a benchmark for comparison ofresults, set oftrials were carried out for dry cutting and flood cooling at 25 °C while all other parameters kept same as in ACEMQL method. Trials for ACEMQL method resulted in better tool life and surface finish for both AISI P20 and AISI D2 tool steels when compared with dry cutting and regular flood cooling methods. Minimum tool wear in machining AISI P20, was observed at 15 °C with ACEMQL, and it has shown a trend of increasing tool wear when temperature was lowered to 10 °C and 5 °C. A tool wear reduction of 97% from dry cutting, and 93% of flood cooling, is observed with ACEMQL at 15 °C. At 10 °C also ACEMQL has shown a reduction in tool wear by 94% compared with dry cutting and 86% compared with flood cooling. However, at 20 °C, it is observed that there is an increase in tool wear compared to flood cooling by 29%. Similarly, in machining AISI D2, minimum tool wear was observed at 15 °C with ACEMQL, and it has shown a trend of increasing tool wear when temperature was further lowered to 10 °C and 5 °C. A tool wear reduction of 96% from dry cutting, and 93% offlood cooling, is observed with ACEMQL at 15 °C. At 10 °C also ACEMQL has shown a reduction in tool wear by 71% compared with diy cutting and 57% compared with flood cooling. Although use of ACEMQL shows an improvement in surface finish in machining both AISI P20 and D2, it has not shown significant difference with reduction oftemperature in the investigated steps oftemperatures. For AISI P20, the least surface roughness obtained is 0.97 pm Ra and it is at 5 °C. It is a 35% reduction with respect to dry cutting condition and 31% reduction in comparison with flood cooling condition. For AISI D2, the minimum surface roughness obtained is 0.82 pm Ra and it is at 5 °C. It is a 49% reduction with respect to dry cutting condition and 40% reduction in comparison with flood cooling condition.Research on the effect of cutting velocity, feed rate and depth of cut, on tool life and surface finish with ACEMQL is suggested as future work. Further, economic feasibility analysis is suggested to find out the suitability of ACEMQL in local die and mould manufacturing industry, and also research on relationship between chip colour and cutting condition, and reasons for the colourisation is suggested as future work.

This project will explore a fusion of Tangata Whenua and Pacific perspectives within a performance installation framework. I intend to juxtapose community narratives within a video art form. I will explore the recording and transmitting of indigenous stories and will create contemporary narratives linking the past to the present. Working within my communities, (Tangata Whenua1, Pacific2, artists from different disciplines, LGBT3, and extensive friends networks), this project will investigate aspects of performance installation using live sets amid recordings of conversations and develop an interviewing practice. The performances are temporary and the devices ad-hoc.

Veronika Fuitová Vztah SRN a Francie v období vlády Helmuta Kohla a Françoise Mitterranda představoval dobu intenzivní spolupráce těchto zemí, a to zejména na poli evropské integrace. Kohl s Mitterrandem navazovali na tradici kooperace obou národů, která byla dílem Konrada Adenauera a Roberta Schumana. Tomuto smíření předcházelo dlouhé období nepřátelství, proto můžeme o poválečné době hovoňt jako o historickém zlomu v dosavadních vztazích. Klíčem k řešení situace v Evropě po druhé světové válce mělo být vytvořeníjednotné evropské organizace. Spolupráce SRN a Francie pokračovala i v následujícím období 60. a 70. let, stejnějako proces evropské integrace. Vztahy obou zemí však nebyly tak intenzivní a blízké. Co se integračního procesu týče, bývá toto obdobíoznačovánojako doba eurosklerózy. Počátek osmdesátých let a nástup Helmuta Kohla s Françoisem Mitterrandem přinesl nové oživení kooperace obou zemí, a to v oblasti hospodářské, vojenské i politické, předním polem jejich spolupráce se stala evropská integrace.
