Abstract:
AbstractThe feeding ecology of 28 amphibian species with complete life cycles has been studied from the last pre-metamorphic stages to metamorphosed juveniles. The widespread view that feeding ceases completely during metamorphosis is not confirmed. Generally, however, amphibian feeding rate decreases at metamorphosis. Foraging in Caudata either does not cease (Hynobiidae, rheophilous Salamandridae) or ceases only before the end of transformation, which takes less than one metamorphic stage. The cessation of foraging in Anura coincides with the transformation of the mouth and digestive tract at the beginning of the metamorphic climax. Foraging on small animals starts just after the change from a larval to a post-metamorphic mouth, i.e., before the end of metamorphosis.

Abstract:
In the seventh bolgia of the Inferno, Dante encounters the thieves, who are punished by undergoing an horrific series of Ovid-like metamorphoses in which men are changed into snakes or unidentifiable amalgams of matter. Since theft violates particular justice, which is a dynamic process that coordinates relations, I will argue that Dante properly makes metamorphosis and the lack of relation it creates between the forms that are changed the fitting punishment for thieves. Ovidian metamorphosis, however, can only image the mutations they experience because Dante's sinners have undergone a transformation even before they are changed into snakes. For particular justice, as Aristotle says, is only part of a more general kind of justice which is complete excellence. In the Inferno, this global justice is the final cause of Hell (‘Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore,’ Inf. 3, 4), and the principle of retribution that establishes the balance between the punishment and crime of those in it. This general justice, I shall argue, also effects a metamorphosis in the damned prior to their particular punishments, a metamorphosis of unbecoming which makes each of them a perverse parody of what God had originally made them. Every sinner in Hell is undergoing a deformation, a disordering movement away from form which unbalances the vital relationship between body and soul that had made him or her human. More precisely, even though we learn from Statius in the Purgatorio that the damned retain the rational soul, it no longer functions as the form of the body, for it has ceased to be that determining element which allows us to understand the one it is in is a member of the species man. Indeed, as the particular transformations of Agnello and Buoso will make clear, the substantial form of all the damned has become less the intellectual soul than the shape of their matter, from which the intellect can no longer abstract any intelligible form. And as their increasing corporeality suggests, the sinners throughout Hell are being transformed into creatures of ever greater density, who lack inner depth, creatures devoid of an animating essence whose powers persist despite outer change.

Abstract:
Abstract Within the larger context of metamorphoses into plants in Greek and Roman mythology, the paper aims to analyse the myth of Myrrha and her metamorphosis into a tree, focusing on the triggering cause of the transformation as well as the response given to her newly-acquired form of life. Myrrha’s transformation into a myrrh tree takes place as a consequence of her transgressive incestuous act of love with her father, Cinyras. Her metamorphosis occurs as a consequence of sinful passion – passion in extremis –, and she sacrifices her body (and human life/existence) in her escape. I will look at Ovid’s version of the myth as well as Ted Hughes’s adaptation of the story from his Tales from Ovid. My discussion of the transformation into tree starts out from the consideration that metamorphosis is the par excellence place and space of in-betweenness implying an inherent hybridity and blurred, converging subjectivities, a state of being that allows for passages, overlaps, crossings, and simultaneities. I am interested to see in what ways Myrrha’s incestuous desire for her father as well as her metamorphosis into a tree can be “rooted” back to her great-grandfather Pygmalion’s transgressive love for the ivory statue Galatea.

Abstract:
A metamorphosis or a morphing is the process of continuously transforming one object into another, and are popular in computer animation, industrial design, and growth simulation. In this paper, a novel approach is presented for computing continuous shape transformation between polyhedral objects in this paper. Metamorphosis can be achieved by decomposing two objects into sets of individual convex sub-objects respectively and constructing the mapping between two sets, this method can solve the metamorphosis problem of two non-homotopic objects (including concave objects and holey objects). The results of object metamorphosis are discussed in this paper. The experiments show that this method can generate natural, high quality metamorphosis results with simple computation. This method can also be used in font composition and interpolation between two keyframes in 2D and 3D computer animation automatically.

Abstract:
In recent years, interdisciplinary research, including folklore, ethnography, linguoculturology and other disciplines, has been expanding. The complex study of materials related to various sciences ensures the complementarity of the fields of science, contributes to a deeper and more systematic understanding of the phenomena of language and culture. In particular, the comparative study of the specific motives and methods in the discourse of mythological traditions and fairy tales in folklore texts serves to determine the way of thinking, mentality and imagination of different peoples. This article is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of metamorphosis, which is reflected in the folklore of the peoples of the East. Metamorphosis is the transformation of any being or thing, form or species into a new, different form and type, as well as an unusual change in something. Metamorphoses rely on the most ancient mythopoetic ideas and reflect their unique characteristics. The article comparatively studies the application of the method of metamorphosis in the myths, legends, epics and fairy tales of the peoples of the East, the universal and different aspectsof metamorphoses. The types of metamorphoses, their ways of occurrence, causes, factors and peculiarities are also described.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa, com a especialização em Urbanismo para obtenção de grau de Mestre.
Em resumo, esta Prova final de mestrado formula a sua proposta numa visão mais concentrada na zona medieval da cidade. Uma zona histórica com características muito fortes e de grande potencial, mas que tem vindo a ser esquecida e deixada ao acaso ao longo dos últimos anos, fomentando, o que é hoje um dos grandes problemas da cidade, o edificado obsoleto. A estratégia é formulada e contextualizada no Bairro das Fontainhas e São Domingos, antigos bairros piscatórios, onde a presença de obsoletos é mais significativa, tanto a nível físico com a degradação do edificado, como a nível atmosférico, onde a falta de moradores e a ausência de serviços afecta a vida humana no bairro e por consequência a falta de manutenção dos seus espaços. A estratégia desenvolveu-se com o objectivo principal de restaurar a vida bairrista do local. Um método de trazer nova população, sem perder a atmosfera habitual de um bairro piscatório, onde todos vivem em comunidade. A solução encontrada e produzida nesta tese, é a criação de espaços de estar que estão directamente ligados às habitações, funcionando como um terraço comunitário, proporcionando encontros e partilhas entre moradores. De um grosso modo, a estratégia resume-se num sistema secundário de circulações, de carácter mais privado, pelo Interior do bairro, atravessando edifícios de uso público e pátios. A sua criação, passa pela construção de pátios, nos vazios urbanos existentes no interior dos quarteirões e na transformação do edificado obsoleto. De modo a garantir a viabilidade dos novos percursos e pátios, estes para além de interligarem os espaços e edifícios singulares existentes no bairro, como a Igreja da boa hora, o Convento de São Domingos, o cemitério e o Miradouro das Fontainhas, é também transformado o edificado obsoleto, referido anteriormente, dando-lhe um uso mais público, como um mercado, restaurares, etc., de modo a atrair população e possibilitando o atravessamento entre o interior dos quarteirões e as ruas.
ABSTRACT: This final project creates its proposal over a concentrated view of the medieval part of Setúbal. An historic zone with strong characteristics and with a great potential for progress, nevertheless it has been forgotten over the years increasing the obsolescence of its buildings. The strategy it´s created on neighborhood of Fontainhas and São Domingos, old fishing districts, where the present of obsolete it’s more significative, both physically with the degradation of the buildings, as atmospheric, where the lake of residents and the absence of services affect the human life in the neighborhood and consequently in the spaces maintenance. The strategy as developed with a principal objective of restoring the neighborhood life of this place. A method to bring new population, without losing the usual atmosphere of a piscatorial district where everybody lives in community. The found solution that is developed in this thesis, it’s the creation of leisure spaces that are directly connected to the habitations, allowing them to work as a community terrace, providing meeting and sharing between residents. In overall, the strategy boils down on a secondary system of circulation, with a more private character, inside of the neighborhood, that go through public buildings and courtyards. Its creation involves the construction of courtyards, in the urban voids that exists inside the city blocks and the transformation of the obsolete buildings. In order to guarantee the viability of the new routes and courtyards, these in addition to interconnecting the spaces and singular buildings in the neighborhood, as such the Church of Boa Hora, The Convent of São Domingos, the cemetery and the sightseeing of Fontainhas, there is also the transformation of the obsolete buildings, that is previously mentioned, given then a more public use, as a market, restaurants, etc., as a way to attracted population and giving the possibility to cross inside the city blocks and streets.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa, com a especialização em Urbanismo para obtenção de grau de Mestre.
A relação cidade-rio revela uma particularidade importante na identidade e crescimento de um território ribeirinho. Esta condição permite que a cidade se abra à água e com ela construa um espaço simbólico entre o território e a figura humana. Este trabalho formaliza um desejo de transformar o tecido urbano da cidade de Setúbal e a reaproximar ao rio sob a consciência interna da sua identidade e memória. Numa leitura atenta ao território são revelados os suportes sobre o qual a cidade se desenvolveu, expondo uma crescente conquista sobre o rio. Este território conquistado sobre a água apresenta-se hoje como um espaço não consolidado e fragmentado, resultado do crescimento pouco coeso da cidade e sobretudo das frentes rio que serviam antigas zonas industriais e portuárias. Estas estruturas portuárias desarticuladas com a cidade criam a oportunidade para repensar os tecidos urbanos e relações com o rio. A partir desta referência histórica propõe-se uma reflexão sobre os motivos do progressivo afastamento entre a cidade e o rio. A abordagem ao projeto explora uma visão da cidade, articulando a teoria e a prática, a leitura e o projeto, a partir de um exercício de composição urbana e arquitetónica. A transformação deste território ribeirinho premeia a memória do seu lugar e os vestígios de identidade que ainda imergem sobre o território. O projeto foca a frente de água do Bairro das Fontainhas como objeto de estudo onde se explora a escala e a monumentalização da água. A proposta desenvolve diferentes relações da água com o espaço construído, influenciando o comportamento das pessoas para com o lugar. Aqui constrói-se uma nova existência formal e funcional com a identidade e memória do lugar, concedendo-lhe novas espacialidades capazes de perdurar no tempo. “… a arquitetura é o único meio de que dispomos para conservar vivo um laço com um passado ao qual devemos a nossa identidade e que é constitutivo do nosso ser.” (CHOAY, 2015, pág.. 147)
ABSTRACT: The city-river bond reveals an important facet of the identity and growth of the riverside region. It allows the city to open up to the water and to build a symbolic space between the territory and the human figure. This project formalizes the desire to transform the urban structure of Setúbal and bring it closer to the river under the internal awareness of it’s identity and memory. In a careful analisys, we reveal the suports on which the city has developed, exposing a growing conquest over the river. Nowadays, this piece of land conquered to the water is a fragmented and unconsolidated space, which is a result of the lack of cohesive growth of the city, specialy the port and industrial areas. These port structures disjointed with the city create the opportunity to rethink the urban morfology and their relation with the river. Based on this historical reference, we propose a reflection on the main reasons for the progressive distance between the city and the river along the years. The project approach explores a vision for the city articulating theory and practice, reading and project, based on an exercise in urban and architectural composition. This riverside transformation rewards it’s memory and vestiges of identity barelly immersing on the territory. The project focus on the waterfront area of Bairro das Fontainhas as an object of study where the scale and monumetalization of the water is explored. The proposal develops different relationships between the water and the built space, influencing people’s behavior towards their use of the place. That said, we propose a new formal and funtional existence, built with the identity and memory of the place, grating it new spacialities capable of lasting over time. “… a arquitetura é o único meio de que dispomos para conservar vivo um laço com um passado ao qual devemos a nossa identidade e que é constitutivo do nosso ser.” (CHOAY, 2015, pág.. 147)

Abstract:
Die Studie definiert und analysiert Kanywood-Videofilme kritisch, wobei ein besonderer Schwerpunkt auf Quellen der mündlichen Literatur und Performancepraxis liegt. Per Definition steht Kanywood sowohl für Filmindustrie als auch für in Nordnigeria produzierten Videofilme. Die Studie hält an "Kanywood" als dem für die Branche geprägten Label fest. Der Literaturüberblick zeigt, dass die Aneignung von Bollywood-Filmmustern durch Kanywood-Filmemacher übermäßig untersucht wurde. Bisherige Untersuchungen im Bereich des re-enactment oraler Hausa-Performance in Kanywood-Videofilmen sind hingegen unzureichend. Die vorliegende Studie füllt mit ihrer Untersuchung der Transformation der Hausa-Kultur im Medium Film aufgrund der Globalisierung und im Kontext traditioneller Performance-Künste diese Lücke, und fügt so den bestehenden Arbeiten über Kanywood eine innovative Forschungsperspektive hinzu. Im theoretischen Rahmen von Performance Studies und mit der gründlichen Analyse eines ausgewählten Korpus zeigt die Studie, wie der Videofilm als Medium wichtiger sozialer und kultureller Veränderungen gesehen wird. Er ist nicht nur ein Gegenstand anhand dessen die Erforschung des Konzepts einer transzendierenden Globalisierung möglich ist, sondern auch ein Weg, um zu verstehen, wie die Gesellschaft sich unter bestimmten sich wandelnden Umständen verändert. Während die allgemein zugrunde liegende Frage lautet, ob Kultur statisch ist oder nicht, verhandelt die Studie dabei die spezifischen Fragen, inwiefern Performances während des Filmemachens neu inszeniert und neu gerahmt werden, und inwieweit traditionell kodierte Performance-Ereignisse im Videofilm verändert, subvertiert und/oder bereichert werden. Die Studie empfiehlt die Ästhetik von Filmsprache als ein Gebiet weiterführender Forschung, stellt heraus, dass Imitation, Adaptation und Aneignung zirkulierender künstlerischer Formen ein globale Phänomene sind, die auf Intertextualität beruhen, erklärt, dass Kultur nicht statisch, sondern dynamisch ist, und kommt zu dem Schluss, dass es angemessener ist, Videofilme und Filmemacher durch das Paradigma der kulturellen Hybridität und Modernisierung zu betrachten, da sie die kulturelle Verschiebung, Transformation und Veränderung im Zeitalter der Globalisierung fördern.
The study identifies and critically analyses Kanywood video films with particular emphasis on sources in oral literature and performance practices. By way of definition, Kanywood stands for both the film industry and video films produced in northern Nigeria. The study sticks to “Kanywood” as the label coined for the industry. However, “Kannywood” with the consonant cluster, as in Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollywood is a variant label, which some scholars have adopted. The study forgrounds that Kanywood filmmakers' appropriation of Bollywood have been excessively explored. But investigations in the area of re-enactment of performance in Kanywood video films are conceivably insufficiently undertaken. Therefore, the distinct contribution of this study reflects on transformation of Hausa culture due to globalization, thus elaborating the existing works on Kanywood. Through a performance framework and a thorough analysis of selected corpus, the study shows how video film is seen as a provider of major social and cultural changes. It is not only a means through which an exploration of the concept of the transcending globalization is possible, but it is also a way of comprehending how the society transforms under some changing circumstances. While the general underlying question is whether or not culture is static, the study thereby negotiates specific questions such as how are performances re-enacted and re-framed during filmmaking process, and how far are traditionally encoded performance events altered, changed, subverted or enriched in video film? The study recommends the aesthetics of language as an area of further research, foregrounds that imitation, adaptation and appropriation of circulating artistic forms is a global phenomenon grounded in intertextuality, expounds that culture is not fixed but dynamic, and concludes that it is more appropriate to look at the video films and the filmmakers through the paradigm of cultural hybridity and modernization which enhance cultural shift, transformation and change in this era of globalization.

Introduction -- Fantastic metamorphosis as childhood 'otherness' -- The metamorphic growth of wings : deviant development and adolescent hybridity -- Tenors of maturation: developing powers and changing identities -- Changing representations of werewolves: ideologies of racial and ethnic otherness -- The desire for transcendence: jouissance in selkie narratives -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Appendix: "The great Silkie of Sule Skerry": three versions.
My central thesis is that fantastic motifs work on a metaphorical level to encapsulate and express ideologies that have frequently been naturalised as 'truths'. I develop a theory of motif metaphors in order to examine the ideologies generated by the fantastic motif of metamorphosis in a range of contemporary children's and young adult fantasy texts. Although fantastic metamorphosis is an exceptionally prevalent and powerful motif in children's and young adult fantasy literature, symbolising important ideas about change and otherness in relation to childhood, adolescence, and maturation, and conveying important ideologies about the world in which we live, it has been little analysed in children's literature criticism. The detailed analyses of particular metamorphosis motif metaphors in this study expand and refine our academic understanding of the metamorphosis figure and consequently provide insight into the underlying principles and particular forms of a variety of significant ideologies.
By examining several principal metamorphosis motif metaphors I investigate how a number of specific cultural beliefs are constructed and represented in contemporary children's and young adult fantasy literature. I particularly focus upon metamorphosis as a metaphor for childhood otherness; adolescent hybridity and deviant development; maturation as a process of self-change and physical empowerment; racial and ethnic difference and otherness; and desire and jouissance. I apply a range of pertinent cultural theories to explore these motif metaphors fully, drawing on the interpretive frameworks most appropriate to the concepts under consideration. I thus employ general psychoanalytic theories of embodiment, development, language, subjectivity, projection, and abjection; poststructuralist, social constructionist, and sociological theories; and wide-ranging literary theories, philosophical theories, gender and feminist theories, race and ethnicity theories, developmental theories, and theories of fantasy and animality. The use of such theories allows for incisive explorations of the explicit and implicit ideologies metaphorically conveyed by the motif of metamorphosis in different fantasy texts.
In this study, I present a number of specific analyses that enhance our knowledge of the motif of fantastic metamorphosis and of significant cultural ideologies. In doing so, I provide a model for a new and precise approach to the analysis of fantasy literature.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter does not stress the marketisation of higher education rather focuses upon the way in which this is done; the marketingisation of higher education. I do not deny that widening access to skills that can fuel growth is a logical extension of a consumerist ideology. What follows acknowledges these structural changes and then focuses on how marketing is a consequence and reinforce of such structural change. Indeed there is a substantial literature which addresses it (e.g. Molesworth et al. Having, being and higher education: The marketization of the university and the transformation of the student into consumer. Teaching in Higher Education, 14(3), 277–287, 2009; Brown R, Carasso H, Everything for sale? The marketisation of UK higher education. Routledge, London, 2013). Nor does it support that marketingation has brought no or only limited contributions to higher education. The expansion of the privileges of higher education to the many from the few, the greater governance and transparency of the process and practices of higher education institutions in their compact with society and a clearer ways to evaluate these activities have, to varying degrees, enhanced higher education. These interventions have opened the market for world class universities (WCUs) allowing them global as well as local reach. Yet it is strange that these improvements are consequences of market interventions by Governments, by publishers in terms of league tables, and by employers in terms of preferred (mythical?) skill sets and not for educative purposes. The emergent practices encouraged by these interventions increase the influence of marketing and facilitate a metamorphosis of institutions from educational entities to market responsive service providers whose intent focuses on impact and enhanced return on capital. This leads WCUs into the endless and Sisyphusan striving, often devoid of any ultimate worthy end but ends which are an inevitable consequence of managing rapidly increasing competition and shifting demands effectively rather than educative priorities. The chapter describes and discusses the consequences.

Abstract:
A phase transition is a geometric and topological transformation process of materials from one phase to another, each of which has a unique and homogeneous physical property. Providing an initial guess of transition path for further physical simulation studies is highly desirable in materials design. In this paper, we present a metamorphosis scheme for periodic surface (PS) models by interpolation in the PS parameter space. The proposed approach creates multiple potential transition paths for further selection based on three smoothness criteria. The goal is to search for a smooth transformation in phase transition analysis.
