Full text

Abstract:

Written in three parts, Only One Went through the Green Door, explores abandonment, homelessness, childhood, womanhood, and choices made or unmade that create the complicated and winding path of life. The poems use narrative and lyric to examine the effects of childhood trauma on the development of a persona, and its shadow. Emotional realities explored through natural landscapes, and at times through child-like language, create an unsettled speaker who quests for some final understanding that might lead to peace.

Cornell, David Michael. "Why there is only one thing : a defence of ontological monism." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/4939/.

Full text

Abstract:

In this dissertation I will present and defend Ontological Monism: the thesis which states that there is only a single concrete object in existence – the world itself. According to this view, the world is mereologically simple; it has no proper parts. Because of this, monism may initially strike one as being absurd, for it may be thought that it is simply obvious that there is a plurality of concrete objects. There are trees, rocks, cats and larks; there are galaxies, planets, leptons and quarks. If monism denies this then it is blatantly false and, worse, patently absurd, or so one may think. It is true, I concede, that monism denies the existence of all these things. But it is false, I claim, that this renders it absurd. It is the purpose of this thesis to show that monism is actually a coherent, plausible and attractive metaphysical view. Indeed, it is the purpose of this thesis to convince the reader that monism is true. The thesis will progress in a number of stages. I will begin in §1 by looking at the metaphysics of composite objects. Specifically, I will be revisiting Peter van Inwagen’s Special Composition Question; the question which asks when two or more material objects compose a further material object. In §2, §3, and §4, I will consider various responses to this question, and conclude that the correct answer to the SCQ is ‘never’. That is, I will argue for compositional nihilism, the view that there are no composite objects at all. In §5 I will present a number of arguments to show that monism represents the best form of nihilism. If you’re a nihilist, you should also be a monist, or so I will claim. In §6 I will provide some independent support for the possibility of there being spatially extended, yet mereologically simple objects. In §7 I will explain, in detail, how the monist can explain the appearance of plurality given that there is, in fact, only singularity. I will introduce, explain, and defend a new type of property: irreducible structured distributional properties. Armed with this type of property, the monist can provide a satisfying explanation of why it seems as though there are many things, when there is in fact only one. In §8 I will address some objections that have been presented against monism, and show how they are best overcome.

Full text

Abstract:

Ensemble techniques have recently been used to enhance the performance of machine learning methods. However, current ensemble techniques for classification require both positive and negative data to produce a result that is both meaningful and useful. Negative data is, however, sometimes difficult, expensive or impossible to access. In this thesis a learning framework is described that has a very close relationship to boosting. Within this framework a method is described which bears remarkable similarities to boosting stumps and that does not rely on negative examples. This is surprising since learning from positive-only data has traditionally been difficult. An empirical methodology is described and deployed for testing positive-only learning systems using commonly available multiclass datasets to compare these learning systems with each other and with multiclass learning systems. Empirical results show that our positive-only boosting-like method learns, using stumps as a base learner and from positive data only, successfully, and in the process does not pay too heavy a price in accuracy compared to learners that have access to both positive and negative data. We also describe methods of using positive-only learners on multiclass learning tasks and vice versa and empirically demonstrate the superiority of our method of learning in a boosting-like fashion from positive-only data over a traditional multiclass learner converted to learn from positive-only data. Finally we examine some alternative frameworks, such as when additional unlabelled training examples are given. Some theoretical justifications of the results and methods are also provided.

Abstract:

Purpose: Fasting has been promoted as a method of preventing disease and aging for thousands of years. With heart disease being a leading cause of death in the U.S., researchers have explored the effects of fasting on variables that influence cardiovascular disease (CVD), like LDL cholesterol. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of weekly water-only fasting on LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) in men and women with metabolic risk factors for CVD. Methods: This study was a randomized control trial in adult men and women. Participants were randomized to fasting (treatment) or normal diet (control). The fasting protocol consisted of four weeks of two 24-hour water-only fasts, followed by 22 weeks of once-weekly water-only 24-hour fasts. Measurements such as height, weight, waist circumference and LDL-C were assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, 13 weeks, and 26 weeks. Results: Intermittent fasting (n = 50) and control (n = 53) participants were 49.3 ± 12.0 and 47.0 ± 9.8 years, respectively, predominantly females (66.0% and 67.9%), overweight (103 ± 24 and 100 ± 21 kg), and with mild LDL-C elevation (124 ± 19 and 128 ± 20 mg/dL). Change in weight was −1.70 ± 4.69 (kg) in the fasting group and 0.20 ± 3.45 (kg) in the control group and not different between conditions (p = 0.06). There was no condition-by-period interaction for LDL-C (p = 0.06). Similarly, the change in LDL-C from baseline to follow-up was not different between conditions (t = −0.538, p = 0.59; Cohens D = 0.12) Conclusions: A once-per-week intermittent fasting regimen did not reduce weight or LDL-C. Further research of such fasting regimens is needed to evaluate their potential impact on cardiometabolic health.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the British art world in the period 1976-1981. The first section explores the crises in the artworld triggered by the International Monetary Fund Crisis of February 1976. Central to this analysis is the Labour and Conservative Party's ideological shift from culturalist paternalism to monetarist liberalism, the history and function of the Arts Council of Great Britain, the press scandals surrounding the Tate Gallery's purchase of Carl Andre's Equivalent VIII and the ICA's exhibition of COUM Transmission's Prostitution. The opportunist populist polemics of the 'crisis critics' (Richard Cork, Andrew Brighton, Peter Fuller and John Tagg) are then introduced alongside a discussion of the colossal changes in the British art press. This is followed by an analysis of Cork's defence of Conrad Atkison's work and of the Royal Oak murals. The second section looks at the postmodernism rejected by Cork and the populist crisis critics, namely, the scripto-visual work of John Hilliard, Victor Burgin, and John Stezaker. The influence of photoconceptualism on community artists and feminist artists is then examined. This is followed by an analysis of Art & Language's critique of 'Semio-Art'. This section concludes with an analysis of the 'new art history' in relation to the practices of Jo Spence and Terry Atkinson. The following section looks at 'conservative'/populist postmodernism as outlined in exhibitions such as The Human Clay (1976), Towards Another Picture (1978), Lives (1979) and Narrative Painting (1979). This includes extensive discussion of the work of David Shepherd, Peter Blake, Ron Kitaj, David Hockney, Steven Campbell, Women's Painting (Images of Men), and The School of London (The Hard Won Image). The final section opens with a lengthy examination of the agitational performances of COUM Transmissions, investigating their decision to abandon the publicly subsidised artworld in order to become the industrial band Throbbing Gristle. This is followed by an examination of British pro-Situationism, punk and new wave subcultures in the 1970s, relating them to the growth of the entrepreneurial art market of the early 1980s.

Pörschke, Judith. "‘I am luckily not the only one’: Analyzing the readers’ interpretations of texting advice in women’s magazines." Thesis, Malmö universitet, Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS), 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mau:diva-23616.

Full text

Abstract:

The aim of this master thesis is to contribute to a more profound knowledge of women's magazine reading by giving insights into the readerships’ interpretations of magazine texts. Three different dimensions of interpretation were thereby identified: the relation to the audiences’ own situations in life, the audiences’ reflections on their prior experiences, and the emerging emotions in the interpretation process. Audience and reception theory, as well as feminist media theory, form the theoretical framework of my research. As audience reception concerns the dynamic interaction between text and the audiences’ reception of it, I decided to concentrate on both text analysis and qualitative interviews. With my qualitative, methodological approach – comprising an analysis of three articles concerning texting advice and interviews with six regular readers, I was able to explore nuances and depths of the phenomenon. I identified four interpretative repertoires which the women used for making meaning of the texts: pleasure, rejection, self-reflection, and practical relevance. Pleasure and rejection were found to be the women’s predominant emotions in the interpretation process. Moreover, my research illustrates that women are interpreting the texting advice in a practical as well as in a self-reflexive way. Their own circumstances and prior experiences are thereby variables, which influence the reception. My work strengthens the perspective of readers as being empowered to understand, evaluate, and critique the media content they consume. This is an important finding influencing society at large. As my research outlines, critical readings were found to be superior to possible ideological influences of women’s magazines. Future research should focus on a further in-depth analysis of individual influencing variables in relation to the audiences’ interpretations as I was only able to evaluate some in my study.

Full text

Abstract:

Like writing, art making is primarily a means of human expression, a means of communication – both “allow us to categorize our (inner and outer) environment as represented by symbols” (Appignanesi, 1999: 7). Yet it is language in the traditional Western garb of rational, philosophical discourse that has been perceived as the primary means of manifesting knowledge and positing truth, not only regarding the character of human existence, but also the nature of art. This infers the acceptance of both works as literally “truth of things”, and of “a language of reason” that “perfectly represents the real world” (Appignanesi, 1999: 77). Going against the grain of this traditional bias, Jacques Derrida holds that, firstly, “human knowledge is not as controllable or as cogent as Western thinkers would have it”: secondly, that language functions in “subtle and often contradictory ways” thus rendering certainty, truth, and perfect representation ever elusive to us (Lye, 1997: 2); and, thirdly, that “practices of interpretation which include art but are not limited to language, are extended discourses” (Appignanesi, 1999: 79). So, the “work of reason” (or rationalism) in this sense, is no longer the definitive “voice” of authority when it comes to ascribing meaning, proclaiming a message, defining truth, etc. Having the grip of its authority loosened and thus its rigid, imposing borders opened up, the communication of knowledge as a form of “aesthetic fiction” (Megill, 1987: 265) is allowed entry into the rarefied field of philosophical discourse. Moreover, if visual art (one such “aesthetic fiction”) is a process of sign-making, as is written and spoken language; if it therefore constitutes a signifying system, as does written and spoken language (Bal and Bryson in Preziosi, 1998: 242); and, if art is not just about autonomous, in-house formalism, then can it not, in any case, validly offer a form for discourse, albeit a different kind of discourse, a discourse that is not “truth seeking” (Sim, 1992: 33)? Here, the maker of the proposed artwork-asdiscourse would not be attempting to establish the truth or falsity of a philosophical position, but, as Derrida would have it, create a form which, without mimicry, would evocatively allude to Plato, his “deconstructor” and the maker of the proposed artwork. Discourse in this sense, then, would generate “active interpretation… infinite free association” (Megill, 1987: 283), because, as in Derrida’s writing, interpretation no longer aims at “the reconciliation or unification of warring truths (Sim, 1992: 10); in other words, it breaks with the (phal)logocentric tradition of discourse as dialectical and becomes questioning without closure. For visual art to enter the exalted arena of philosophical discourse, it cannot be selfreflexive in the Greenbergian or formalist sense – it has to be about something philosophical and this ‘something’ will be a deconstructive response to Plato’s doctrine of the two worlds in the Timaeus. What I propose presenting, then, is an imagographic rather than (phal)logocentric exposition of philosophical content where the aim is not to shape a certainty or to infer an absolute presence or essence of anything, but rather to suggest traces of the maker of the artwork reading Derrida, reading Plato. The proposed artwork as a response to texts will thus be a “pre-text” of my own endeavour.

Smith, Joshua. "Investigating the Apoptotic Effects of Platinum(II) Amine Complexes With Only One Leaving Ligand on Zebrafish Auditory End Organs." TopSCHOLAR®, 2018. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/2340.

Full text

Abstract:

The FDA-approved platinum compound, cisplatin, is commonly used as a chemotherapy drug to treat many forms of cancer. However, this compound also has several associated side-effects, including ototoxicity. This has made the development of novel platinum compounds that reduce cancer cell viability, while causing fewer and milder side-effects, an area of significant research interest. In the present study, we examined the apoptotic effects that four monofunctional platinum compounds, pyriplatin, phenanthriplatin, Pt(diethylenetriamine)Cl, and Pt(N,Ndiethyldiethylenetriamine) Cl, had on zebrafish inner ear auditory epithelial cells. We then compared the apoptotic effects of these compounds to those of cisplatin, which is a bifunctional platinum compound. Our hypothesis was that the four monofunctional platinum compounds would cause reduced inner ear apoptosis compared to cisplatin. Zebrafish were injected with either vehicle solution, cisplatin or with one of the monofunctional compounds. Later, at 24-hour and 48-hour time points, the zebrafish were euthanized, and two of their auditory inner ear endorgans, the utricle and saccule, were dissected out. A terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay was then used to label apoptotic cells, and the inner ear organs were viewed under a microscope. The number of apoptotic cells on each sample was quantified and the data were analyzed for significant differences between treatments. We found that with the exception of pyriplatin in the saccules, and with the exception of pyriplatin, Pt(N,N-diethyldiethylenetriamine)Cl, and phenanthriplatin in the utricles, the monofunctional compounds and cisplatin did not induce apoptosis in the inner ear of zebrafish at either time point. Based on these results we conclude that the monofunctional platinum compounds largely do not induce zebrafish inner ear apoptosis and if they were to produce ototoxicity, it would not be through an apoptotic mechanism.

Full text

Abstract:

Amidst our ableist social world, there are people with disabilities who are living the lives they want to be living and are, so-to-speak, “doing their own thing.” This project focuses on what a few young adult women attribute as having helped them get to where they are today. There were two overarching open-ended research questions guided this project: (1) what opportunities and experiences have influenced the four women with physical and mobility disabilities in terms of getting to where they are today? And (2) how have these opportunities and experiences helped and/or challenged them along their journeys? The study analyzes responses from semistructured interviews with four young women with physical disabilities. Participants’ responses suggest that growing up in supportive environments (family, friends, other people with disabilities) that foster a sense of disability pride helped participants adopt similar perspectives on disability. I argue that participants learned to understand disability as a valued form of social diversity in large part from their parents and from experiences that allowed them to interact with other young people with disabilities. Additionally, strategic positivity and persistence are two ways that help participants cope with the day-to-day ableism and anti-disability microaggressions that they experience.

Abstract:

Young Ones is a collection of short stories about young adult narrators navigating interpersonal relationships. In this collection, both males and females living in the Pacific Northwest interact with family, friends, and lovers. Through these interactions, they come to discover aspects of themselves at crucial moments in their lives. Many of these stories are less concerned with plot and more concerned with inner truths about relationships and selves. These revelations occur through epiphanies at the end of the stories, and the settings help provide subtext. It is my hope that these stories provide further depth to the young adult genre.

Full text

Abstract:

Eukaryotic genomes are organized into chromatin, a highly dynamic complex of DNA and proteins, which plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression. This thesis focuses on the study of a non-histone chromatin protein, the SET domain-containing H3K9 methyltransferase (HMTase) SU(VAR)3-9, and its role in the packaging and regulation of a euchromatic locus, the histone genes cluster (HIS-C). SU(VAR)3-9 was discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, but it is highly conserved from yeast to mammals. It has two conserved domains, the chromo- and the SET domains, and both are required for its function in gene silencing. The SET domain is responsible for the catalytic activity of SU(VAR)3-9, while the exact function of the chromo domain is still unclear. To gain an insight on the role(s) of SU(VAR)3-9 in the regulation of gene silencing, we first characterized a collection of Su(var)3-9 EMS-induced mutants that had been isolated in a genetic screen for strong, dominant suppressors of position-effect variegation (PEV). These mutants were characterized at the molecular, enzymatic, and cellular level, and their effect on gene silencing was also examined. We found that all mutants have single amino acid substitutions in the conserved preSET/SET/postSET domain, and that they all display a dramatic or complete loss of HMTase activity, strongly suggesting that suppression of PEV is linked to SU(VAR)3-9’s ability to methylate H3K9. The HIS-C is a natural, euchromatic target of SU(VAR)3-9, and mutations in Su(var)3-9 can alter its chromatin structure (Ner et al., 2002). To investigate the exact role(s) of SU(VAR)3-9 in the regulation of this locus, we analyzed the effects of a series of Su(var)3-9 missense mutants on the chromatin architecture of the HIS-C and on the expression of the histone genes. We detected a drastic reduction in the levels of H3K9me2 and HP1 associated with the his genes in all Su(var)3-9 missense mutants, although the mutant SU(VAR)3-9s still associate with the HIS-C. In addition, these mutants have elevated amounts of histone H2A and histone H3 RNA, suggesting that the enzyme function of SU(VAR)3-9 is critical for the regulation of the histone genes.

Abstract:

New methodology for the synthesis of several 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones has been developed from commercially available 2-aminopyridines and β-oxo esters catalysed by Montmorillonite under solvent-free conditions in good yields. This methodology was expanded for the synthesis of 4H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives from 2-aminopyrimidine and different β-keto esters. The new methodology for the synthesis of N-alkylated 6-methyl 2-pyridones and N-alkylated 2-methyl 4-pyridones, from commercially available starting materials was developed. For the synthesis of N-alkylated 6-methyl 2-pyridones, 2-methoxy-6-methyl pyridine and a number of different alkylating reagents have been employed as starting materials. For the synthesis of N-alkylated 2-methyl 4-pyridones, 4-chloro 2-methyl pyridine was used successfully to make the desired pyridone in 3 steps. Selective mono-metallation at the 6-methyl substituent of N-alkylated 6-methyl 2-pyridones and N-alkylated 2-methyl 4-pyridones with n-BuLi/KHMDS at -78 °C proceeded smoothly, and the reactivity of the lithiated intermediates towards a wide range of electrophile (diketones, aldehydes, alkylating reagents) was studied. A straightforward synthesis of desirable 4H-quinolizin-4-one scaffolds by condensation of N-benzyl 6-methyl 2-pyridones with dicarbonyl compounds, and the formation of the desired quinolizinone after the condensation step was achieved. An unexpected quinolizinone bearing a fused β-lactam ring was isolated and its structure confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of mental health nursing instructors and students regarding the one-to-one in mental health contexts. Using person-centered interviewing, nursing instructors and students were asked to share their views related to the one-to-one, the skills and techniques used to conduct the one-to-one, and the teaching and evaluation strategies used in clinical settings. Findings indicate ambiguity surrounding the one-to-one for both instructors and students. Students also feel anxious and uncertain without models to guide their one-to-ones, and instructors feel frustrated with how to teach and evaluate the one-to-one. Finally, findings indicate the need for further articulation of the one-to-one within nursing literature, and the development of guidelines to support student learning of the one-to-one in clinical settings.

Titel: The one to one master thesis – Implementeringsprocessen av one to one marketing ur ett sällanköpsperspektiv

Kurs: FED 321, Marknadsföring i imaginära organisationer, Vt 2006

Författare: Karolina Arestad, Christopher Horn, Christoffer Ramstadius

Handledare: Stig G Johansson

Examinator: Stig G Johansson

Nyckelord: One-to-one marketing, anpassning, lärande relation, värde, sällanköpsvaror

Bakgrund: Nytt fokus på kunden innebär att företag mer på en individuell nivå ska förstå kunden och dennes kräsenhet för att villkor och behov lättare ska kunna tillgodoses. Innebörden av detta leder till ett arbetssätt för marknadsföring som har blivit ett alltmer vanligt begrepp, nämligen one-to-one marketing, och som är myntat av Peppers och Rogers. De har teoretiskt presenterat ett tillvägagångssätt; implementeringsprocessen, för att införa one-to-one marketing. Processen innehåller fyra steg; identifiering, differentiering, interaktion och anpassning som ska hjälpa företag att mer optimalt förstå kunden så dennes behov kan tillgodoses genom anpassning av de produkter eller tjänster som erbjuds. Att utveckla en förtroendefull och trogen relation med kunden är betydelsefullt. Extra viktigt är det vid köp av sällanköpsvaror eftersom det efter köp av dessa varor kan dröja en längre tid innan kunden förhoppningsvis söker sig tillbaka till den tidigare relationen. Sällanköpsvaror är dyra konsumentvaror som till skillnad från dagligvaror inte inhandlas lika ofta.

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att, analysera hur företag som tillhandahåller sällanköpsvaror kan arbeta med implementeringsprocessen vid införandet av one-to-one marketing och hur användandet av denna process påverkar relationen med kunden. Vidare är syftet att ge förslag på såväl teoretisk utveckling som praktiska åtgärder gällande processen ur ett sällanköpsperspektiv.

Avgränsning: Uppsatsen avgränsas till att utifrån ett företag i husbyggarbranschen, Willa Nordic, inhämta data för att kunna dra slutsatser om sällanköpsvaror och implementeringsprocessen, samt dess effekter ur ett företagsperspektiv. Företaget valdes eftersom branschen är ett utmärkt exempel på sällanköpsvaror, samt på grund av att Willa Nordics erbjudande till stor del belyser vikten av att förstå kunden. Det valdes även med tanke på dess geografiska läge.

Metod: Fallstudien av Willa Nordic har genomförts genom personliga intervjuer med utvalda personer från företaget och sekundärdata från undersökningsinstitutet IMA samt relevant litteratur. Genom att deduktivt utgått från befintliga teorier om implementeringsprocessen och belysa hur dessa fenomen kan se ut i husbyggarbranschen för att sedan dra generella slutsatser om sällanköpsvaror. Uppsatsen studerar syftet ur ett företagsperspektiv.

Slutdiskussion: Implementeringsprocessens steg klarar sig inte utan varandra och de val och beslut som tas under arbetsprocessens gång påverkar vad som sker därefter. Därför är det av yttersta vikt att varje steg tas på största allvar och verkligen genomarbetas, så både företaget och kunden i slutänden får ut något positivt och värdegivande. Vi menar att processen bör utökas genom att inkludera interaktion i anslutning till identifieringssteget, eftersom en god kommunikation ger en lättare förståelse för kundernas behov. Gällande sällanköpsvaror ska inte kunder behandlas olika, eftersom urvalet av värdefulla kunder är av mindre betydelse då alla kunder ska ses som värdefulla. Att inneha en lärande relation enbart utifrån identifieringssteget är enligt oss inte möjligt, eftersom det krävs en interaktion mellan parterna för att företag ska kunna förstå och lära sig det kunden efterfrågar. Grundpelarna för lärande relationer i implementeringsprocessen är identifiering och interaktion. Eftersom skapandet av en lärande relation gör denna process möjlig är det centralt att ständigt förstå meningen med en sådan relation och försöka arbeta därefter.

Bingol, Haluk Erdem. "Bearings Only Tracking." Master's thesis, METU, 2011. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12613048/index.pdf.

Full text

Abstract:

The basic problem with angle-only or bearings-only tracking is to estimate the trajectory of a target (i.e., position and velocity) by using noise corrupted sensor angle data. In this thesis, the tracking platform is an Aerial Vehicle and the target is simulated as another Aerial Vehicle. Therefore, the problem can be defined as a single-sensor bearings only tracking. The state consists of relative position and velocity between the target and the platform. In the case where both the target and the platform travel at constant velocity, the angle measurements do not provide any information about the range between the target and the platform. The platform has to maneuver to be able to estimate the range of the target. Two problems are investigated and tested on simulated data. The first problem is tracking non-maneuvering targets. Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Range Parameterized Kalman Filter and particle filter are implemented in order to track non-maneuvering targets. As the second problem, tracking maneuvering targets are investigated. An interacting multiple model (IMM) filter and different particle filter solutions are designed for this purpose. Kalman filter covariance matrix initialization and regularization step of the regularized particle filter are discussed in detail.

Abstract:

The primary aim of this research is to explore why women create and utilise women-only space. This thesis explores this question from the perspectives of the women who occupy these environments. It examines the experiences of women from four different spaces located in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of this thesis, women-only space is defined as space created, occupied and maintained by women for women. I argue that though the subject of women-only space is an under-researched subject area many different kinds of women continue to use and benefit from these spaces in a variety of ways. This contradiction provides one of the motivations for conducting empirical research which seeks to address deficits in knowledge and theorisation relating to the subject. Participants locate their discussion of women-only space in relation to lesbian separatism and confirm the continued relevance of particular aspects of this ideology and practice. Participants concur with a number of lesbian separatist writers (Hoagland 1988 and Penelope and Dixon 1988) that separation is valuable to some women and offers a degree of safety and opportunities for empowerment. This thesis also explores aspects of postmodern, postfeminist and Queer theorisations and some of the implications they have for the concept of gender separation and separatism. Considering some of the socio-political and cultural changes which have impacted on women's status since lesbian separatism was conceived, this work considers claims that there is a need to look again at the subject of separatism in order to revise our understandings and expectations of this practice. Illustrating the points at which women's experiences and perceptions diverge from lesbian separatism, this work also goes on to consider alternative models of separation including Dixon's (1988) model of 'graduated separatism'. While continuing to affirm the fundamental value of gender separation, this model I propose, if developed has the potential to provide a more flexible and inclusive form of separatism.

Abstract:

Intentionen med detta arbete är att uppmärksamma citizenship education som blivit allt mer betydande när det gäller skapandet av nationell enighet/identitet i Kenya. Mer specifikt innebär det att arbetets syfte var att undersöka hur utvalda kenyanska gymnasielärare arbetar med att förmedla kunskapen om citizenship education för att skapa nationell identitet och vilket innehåll som presenteras. Bifrågan blir om lärarna därefter uppmanar eleverna på något sätt att praktisera den kunskap som förmedlas i skolan om demokratiska rättigheter i samhället. För att besvara undersökningens frågeställningar har jag granskat dokument, i form av litteratur och databaser samt genomfört intervjuer, vilka sedan har analyserats. Respondenterna i intervjuerna har fått svara på likvärdiga frågor och ämnesområden där sedan dessa har satts i kontrast mot varandra för att frambringa eventuella differenser. En av slutsatserna visade att citizenship educations betydelse är stor när det gäller att bilda en nationell identitet bland eleverna. Lärarnas arbetsmetoder bestod av enkel traditionell klassundervisning där eleverna inte alls praktiserade innehållet utan lärarna uppmanade sina elever att använda kunskapen som förmedlades utanför skolans värld, till exempel i olika föreningar. Innehållet kretsade kring att försöka förmedla kunskaper om vilka rättigheter och skyldigheter en kenyansk medborgare har, förespråka nationalism samt patriotism. Det visade sig att nationalism och patriotism var de viktigaste delarna när det gällde att bygga upp en nationell enighet/identitet i det demokratiska Kenya. Nyckelord: citizenship education, nationell identitet, demokrati, Kenya, lärare, samhälle.
The intention of this work is to draw attention to citizenship education that has become increasingly important in the creation of national unity / identity in Kenya. More specifically, it means that the work was to examine how selected Kenyan secondary school teachers are working to convey the knowledge of citizenship education to create national identity and what content is presented. Second reflection is to see if the teachers in any way invite the students to practice the knowledge that they conveyed in school on democratic rights and practice these in the society. In order to answer the survey questions, I examined the documents in the form of literature and databases, and conducted interviews, which were then analyzed. Respondents in the interviews have been asked similar questions and issues where they have been contrasted with each other to bring forth any discrepancies / affinities. One of the findings showed that citizenship educations are of immense importance in terms of forming a national identity among students. Teachers' practices consisted of simple traditional classroom where students didn’t have the chance to practice the content. Instead the teachers asked their students to use knowledge that was transmitted outside the school context, for example, in various compounds. The content revolved around trying to convey the knowledge of rights and obligations that a Kenyan citizen is holding, and also advocating nationalism and patriotism. It turned out that nationalism and patriotism were the main fragments when it came to building a national unity / identity in democratic Kenya. Keywords: citizenship education, national identity, democracy, Kenya, teachers, society.

Abstract:

Skolans satsning på en-till-en undervisning har gjort att datorns plats i klassrummet har fått en allt mer självklar plats i klassrummet. I ett klassrum där varje elev sitter med en egen laptop eller surfplatta som tillhandahålls av skolan byggs en del problem automatiskt in. Förutom att nästintill varje elev sitter med en smartphone i fickan har de nu också ett lättillgängligt sätt att rikta sin uppmärksamhet på andra saker än lektionen eller sina uppgifter. Det finns en uppsjö av studier och rapporter som visar på att datorn i en-till-en undervisningen i många fall bidrar till att distrahera eleverna i klassrummet och det är något som både elever och lärare rapporterar om. Detta kan i många synvinklar ses som misslyckande i en-till-en satsningen, eller åtminstone ett ”kalibreringsproblem”. Lärarna som jag låtit svara på en enkät ger en bild av hur de ser på hur de ser på datorn som ett pedagogiskt hjälpmedel och vilken riktning de ser att utvecklingen med en-till-en undervisningen behöver ta. Skolan i undersökningen har kommit en lång bit på vägen i förändringsprocessen som en-till-en är för skolan, även om det fortfarande finns tekniska problem som påverkar skolarbetet på ett negativt sätt. Allmänt är dock attityden gentemot datorn som pedagogiskt redskap positiv samtidigt som det finns visioner om hur den i framtiden kan förbättras.

Abstract:

Imagine a school where everyone tries to help the weakest student, and there is no competition among them except for being nice and supportive! Or companies who, instead of competing with their customers, try to make the world a better place! Yes, it is too big of a goal, but every big move starts from a small step. The small step in my thesis is working on the question "how to make groups work together in a better way" applied to the world of artificial intelligence. To train virtual agents to successfully work together, one must overcome the same problems humans face, such as selfishness. While agents might not be selfish, we typically optimize or preferentially select them on their individual performance. Thus, the selfish agents would also win again. To study and remedy this problem, I made a game for multiple artificial agents competing with each other. I also devised different objective functions so that selfishness might not be the optimal strategy. Specifically, Darwin's theory of Evolution and the group selection mechanism provides a different mechanism to incentivize groups to cooperate. The idea is that when evolving agents under these conditions, the last generation will include only cooperating agents. I used a framework that includes an evolvable neural network for implementing the agents and a genetic algorithm working based on specific rewarding schemes. I found that different rewarding schemes result in different agent behavior. Specifically, when agents evolve in groups whose performance is measured by their weakest member, they not only evolve to become an effective group, but they receive rewards more equally.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the way in which an official multicultural identity has been constructed in Singapore at the expense of the cultural specificity that exists within the multiculturalism framework. The construction of the multicultural identity in Singapore has been engineered socially through heritage policies, heritage preservation projects and the media. However, the official multicultural policy in itself is problematic because of the existence of the four independent parent cultures, so that a Singaporean is constantly reminded of a cultural identity which is determined by race, history, language and class. This is further complicated by a dominant Chinese population so that the cultural identity of Singapore is fundamentally Chinese, while the Malay, Indian and Eurasian cultures are dragged along in its tail. I will argue that the Singapore government has carefully constructed a multicultural identity without addressing the underpinning historical and racial factors. The purpose of the study is an investigation of the tension between the multiculturalism and cultural specificity which will help to reveal my claim that there is predominantly a Chinese cultural identity in Singapore and the created notion of a multicultural identity is an illusion. The multicultural identity in Singapore is founded on a set of neo-Confucian principles which are reproduced in the national core values defined by the government in the White Paper in 1991. These neo-Confucian values are established on principles of frugality and the emphasis on the family. Although these values are not entirely foreign to the Malay and Indian cultures, their perceptions on how the family operates may be different based on the Islam, Hindu or even Christian teachings. Although the government maintains that Confucian teaching is regarded as philosophical in character rather than reflecting Chinese teachings, it is nevertheless a topic which begs investigation within the multicultural and multi religious context of Singapore. It appears that multiculturalism in Singapore does not equally promote four cultures but is inclined towards the Chinese culture and the minor cultures have come to identify with the cultural framework that the Singapore government has constructed. I will investigate this construction by analysing the speeches of well-known Singapore politicians like Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Chok Tong and George Yeo and the role of the media in reporting multiculturalism in Singapore. The relationship between multiculturalism and the Singapore media will be examined through the methodology devised by Birch (1993). His theoretical framework deals specifically with the analysis of the Singapore media and is shown to be crucial to the understanding of cultural and political practices in Singapore. By applying Birch’s theory, I will show how multiculturalism is constructed by the Singapore government through the media. The study of Sentosa, a heritage tourism site in Singapore, will be explored to establish the relationships between multiculturalism, tourism and conservation in Singapore. This will be done following the framework devised Boniface and Fowler (1993) on the phenomena of 'heritage' and 'tourism', adapting it to multiculturalism in Singapore. Their theoretical framework for the study of culture deals specifically with heritage in the United Kingdom and Europe, but I will argue the methodology devised is appropriate for the study of culture in Singapore because the issues confronting each nation are similar. The key elements to be investigated are the relationship between culture and tourism, architectural heritage in the tourism context, and the construction of multiculturalism through the media. By looking at the various (multi)cultural, social and economic underpinnings of multiculturalism, I will show in my thesis that the construction of multiculturalism in Singapore is to negotiate a mechanism of control by the government.

Full text

Abstract:

In inner London 7.5% of the school population is of mixed heritage, yet little is known about their experiences in the education system. Data from the 2001 Census shows that over half of mixed heritage children under the age of 16 have social backgrounds that suggest a strong middle class dimension, yet, as a group, they have persistently underachieved at school. This challenges associations between social class and success at school suggesting that other factors might well influence school experience. This thesis explores how mixed heritage children's school experiences are shaped by the ways in which others perceive their identities and make assumptions about their lives, based mainly on the colour of their skin. It examiners why some children are more able to develop the resilience to cope with these experiences than others. An inductive approach to data gathering was used. Exploratory interviews were conducted with an opportunity sample, semi structured interviews with education professionals and focus groups with a small-scale sample of mixed heritage children in an inner London Borough. Themes that emerged challenge suggestions that we have moved to a point where ethnic and racial groupings are less relevant than data on children's social backgrounds, suggesting that all mixed heritage children, regardless of social background, experienced racial discrimination, teachers' inaccurate perceptions about their identities and backgrounds and low expectations of their abilities and aptitude for learning. Whilst educational professionals explained that they knew little about these children and were unaware of any issues they faced, children appeared to be "invisible" at school, absent from policies and curriculum materials. Many lacked opportunities to discuss their identities both at home and school. These issues particularly influenced boys' school experiences. Whilst this research enables many mixed heritage childrens's voices to be heard for the first time, it argues that the challenges many face present a threat to their capacity to fulfil their potential and their sense of belonging in the school community.

Abstract:

In der akademischen Fachliteratur existieren kaum Forschungsergebnisse zu One-to-One-Marketing, die auf Anwendungen im Einzelhandel ausgerichtet sind. Zu den Hauptgründen zählen, dass Ansätze nicht auf die Größe typischer Einzelhandelsanwendungen skalieren und dass die Datenverfügbarkeit auf Händler und Marketing-Systemanbieter beschränkt ist. Die vorliegende Dissertation entwickelt neue deskriptive, prädiktive und präskriptive Modelle für automatisiertes Target Marketing, die auf Representation Learning und Deep Learning basieren, und untersucht deren Wirksamkeit in Praxisanwendungen. Im ersten Schritt zeigt die Arbeit, dass Representation Learning in der Lage ist, skalierbar Marktstrukturen zu analysieren. Der vorgeschlagene Ansatz zur Visualisierung von Marktstrukturen ist vollständig automatisiert und existierenden Methoden überlegen. Die Arbeit entwickelt anschließend ein skalierbares, nichtparametrisches Modell, das Produktwahl auf Konsumentenebene für alle Produkte im Sortiment großer Einzelhändler vorhersagt. Das Deep Neural Network übertrifft die Vorhersagekraft existierender Benchmarks und auf Basis des Modells abgeleitete Coupons erzielen signifikant höhere Umsatzsteigerungen. Die Dissertation untersucht abschließend eine Coupon-Engine, die auf den entwickelten Modellen basiert. Der Vergleich personalisierter Werbeaktionen mit Massenmarketing belegt, dass One-to-One Marketing Einlösungsraten, Umsätze und Gewinne steigern kann. Eine Analyse der Kundenreaktionen auf personalisierte Coupons im Rahmen eines Kundenbindungsprogrammes zeigt, dass personalisiertes Marketing Systemnutzung erhöht. Dies illustriert, wie Target Marketing und Kundenbindungsprogramme effizient kombiniert werden können. Die vorliegende Dissertation ist somit sowohl für Forscher als auch für Praktiker relevant. Neben leistungsfähigeren Modellansätzen bietet diese Arbeit relevante Implikationen für effizientes Promotion-Management und One-to-One-Marketing im Einzelhandel.
Research on one-to-one marketing with a focus on retailing is scarce in academic literature. The two main reasons are that the target marketing approaches proposed by researchers do not scale to the size of typical retail applications and that data regarding one-to-one marketing remain locked within retailers and marketing solution providers. This dissertation develops new descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive marketing models for automated target marketing that are based on representation learning and deep learning and studies the models’ impact in real-life applications. First, this thesis shows that representation learning is capable of analyzing market structures at scale. The proposed approach to visualizing market structures is fully automated and superior to existing mapping methods that are based on the same input data. The thesis then proposes a scalable, nonparametric model that predicts product choice for the entire assortment of a large retailer. The deep neural network outperforms benchmark methods for predicting customer purchases. Coupon policies based on the proposed model lead to substantially higher revenue lifts than policies based on the benchmark models. The remainder of the thesis studies a real-time offer engine that is based on the proposed models. The comparison of personalized promotions to non-targeted promotions shows that one-to-one marketing increases redemption rates, revenues, and profits. A study of customer responses to personalized price promotions within the retailer’s loyalty program reveals that personalized marketing also increases loyalty program usage. This illustrates how targeted price promotions can be integrated smoothly into loyalty programs. In summary, this thesis is highly relevant for both researchers and practitioners. The new deep learning models facilitate more scalable and efficient one-to-one marketing. In addition, this research offers pertinent implications for promotion management and one-to-one marketing.

Abstract:

Il lavoro di tesi proposto prende in esame il movimento One Village One Product (OVOP), grazie al quale la prefettura di Ōita ha attraversato un periodo di sviluppo economico, senza avvalersi degli aiuti del governo centrale. Il Capitolo I delinea le caratteristiche della prefettura di Ōita, dal punto di vista geografico, demografico e economico, per comprendere al meglio la situazione della zona. Inoltre, si riportano gli interventi statali, applicati durante il secondo dopoguerra nel tentativo di superare i problemi precedentemente riscontrati. Il Capitolo II tratta del movimento NPC della città di Ōyama, precursore del movimento OVOP. Partendo dai motivi della sua formazione, si approfondiscono le tre fasi evolutive del movimento e gli obiettivi raggiunti. Inoltre, è evidenziata l’importanza della collaborazione tra il governo locale e la cooperativa agricola di Ōyama. Il Capitolo III prende in esame il movimento OVOP, come strumento per lo sviluppo della prefettura. Dopo aver ricercato le motivazioni e le influenze che hanno spinto Morihiko Hiramatsu, governatore della prefettura di Ōita nel 1979, a formare il movimento, si tratterà dell’evoluzione dello stesso. Come ultimo punto, si valuta in che misura il movimento OVOP abbia contribuito allo sviluppo non solo della prefettura di Ōita, ma anche di altre municipalità del Giappone.

This thesis examines the reasons Union soldiers voted overwhelmingly for Abraham Lincoln in the presidential election of 1864. This thesis bridges the gap between the emerging disagreements within the historiography of the soldier vote in 1864. The disagreements thus far deal with the role of emancipation in the Union soldier’s decision-making process versus the role of other issues, particularly whether or not the war effort should have been continued on to ultimate victory. By extension, the argument also deals with whether or not Union soldiers adhered to the Republican Party’s ideology in making their decision. Through analysis of primary sources including Union soldiers’ letters and diaries, the answer that emerges is that Union soldiers adhered to Republican ideology as outlined by Republican campaign materials as well as their party platform in making their decision for president. This thesis ultimately concludes that a focus on any one reason or another that soldiers chose Lincoln misses the larger picture.

Abstract:

SLAM (Simulatenous Localization and Mapping) es quizá el problema más importante a solucionar en robótica para construir robots móviles verdaderamente autónomos. El SLAM es acerca de cómo un robot móvil opera en un entorno a priori desconocido, utilizando únicamente sus sensores de abordo, mientras construye un mapa de dicho entorno que al mismo tiempo utiliza para localizarse. Los sensores del robot tienen un gran impacto en los algoritmos usados en SLAM. Los primeros enfoques se centraron en el uso de sensores de rango como sonares o láseres. Sin embargo hay algunas desventajas relacionadas con su utilización: La asociación de datos es difícil, son costosos, habitualmente están limitados a mapas 2D y tienen alto costo computacional debido al gran número de características (features) que producen. Lo anterior ha propiciado que enfoques recientes se estén moviendo hacia el uso de cámaras como sensor principal. Estas se han vuelto muy atractivas para los investigadores de la robótica, dado que generan mucha información, facilitan la asociación de datos, están bien adaptadas para sistemas embebidos: son ligeras, baratas y ahorran energía. Usando visión, un robot puede localizarse así mismo usando objetos comunes como landmarks. Sin embargo, a diferencia de los sensores de rango, que proveen información angular y de rango, una cámara es un sensor proyectivo que mide el bearing (ángulo) respecto a objetos de la imagen. Por lo que la profundidad (range) no puede ser obtenida en una sola toma. Este hecho ha motivado la aparición de una nueva familia de métodos de SLAM: Los Bearing-Only SLAM methods, los cuales están basados en técnicas especiales para la inicialización de features, permitiendo el uso de sensores de bearing en SLAM. Esta tesis se centra en el estudio de la problemática del Bearing-Only SLAM: da una descripción extensa del tema, recapitula los retos actuales a resolver y propone nuevos métodos y algoritmos enfocados a tratar diferentes sub problemas concernientes esta problemática en general. Estos sub problemas deben de ser tratados, de manera que sea posible construir sistemas capaces de operar en entornos diversos y complejos. La investigación descrita en esta disertación ha sido dividida en tres partes: 3DOF Bearing-Only SLAM: El proceso de inicialización de nuevas features es quizá el sub problema más importante a tratar en Bearing-Only SLAM. En esta parte de la tesis se introduce un nuevo método llamado Delayed Inverse Depth Features Initialization (para 3DOF y asumiendo odometría). Este método utiliza una parametrización inversa, donde la profundidad e incertidumbre iníciales de cada feature son dinámicamente estimadas previamente a que una feature sea declarada como un nuevo landmark en el mapa estocástico. También se presenta un sistema de SLAM basado en sonido, llamado SSLAM el cual usa fuentes de sonido como features del mapa. La contribución del SSLAM es demostrar la viabilidad de la inclusión del sentido auditivo en SLAM y mostrar que es factible utilizar sensores alternativos en Bearing-Only SLAM. Métodos de asociación de datos para SLAM basado en visión: El problema de la asociación de datos es quizá uno de los problemas más difíciles en robótica y también uno de los sub problemas más importantes a tratar en SLAM. Consiste en determinar si las mediciones de un sensor tomadas en tiempos diferentes, corresponden al mismo objeto físico del mundo. En esta parte de la tesis, se proponen diferentes métodos que tratan el problema de la asociación de datos en un contexto de SLAM basado en visión. SLAM monocular de 6DOF: El SLAM monocular de 6DOF quizá representa la variante más extrema del SLAM, dado que una cámara en mano es utilizada como la única entrada sensorial del sistema. En esta parte de la tesis, se extiende el algoritmo de 2DOF Bearing-Only SLAM para ser aplicado en un contexto de SLAM monocular. También se propone un nuevo esquema llamado SLAM Monocular Distribuido, enfocado en el problema de construir y mantener mapas consistentes de grandes entornos en tiempo real. La idea es dividir la estimación total del sistema en dos procesos de estimación concurrentes. Primero un método actual de SLAM monocular (Virtual Sensor) es modificado como un complejo sensor virtual que emula sensores típicos, como el laser para medición de rango y encoders para odometría. Después otro método tradicional de SLAM (Global SLAM) es acoplado para construir y mantener el mapa final. Numerosas referencias bibliográficas, graficas, comparaciones, simulaciones y experimentos con datos reales de sensores, son presentador con el fin de mostrar el desempeño de los métodos propuestos.
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is perhaps the most fundamental problem to solve in robotics in order to build truly autonomous mobile robots. SLAM is about on how can a mobile robot operate in an a priori unknown environment and use only onboard sensors to simultaneously build a map of its surroundings and use it to track its position. The robot’s sensors have a large impact on the algorithm used for SLAM. Early SLAM approaches focused on the use of range sensors as sonar rings or lasers. Nevertheless there are some disadvantages with the use of range sensors in SLAM: Correspondence or data association is difficult. They are expensive. They are generally limited to 2D maps and computational overhead due to large number of features. The aforementioned issues have propitiated that recent work is moving towards the use of cameras as the primary sensing modality. Cameras have become more and more interesting for the robotic research community, because it yield a lot of information allowing reliable data association. Cameras are well adapted for embedded systems: they are light, cheap and power saving. Using vision, a robot can localize itself using common objects as landmarks. On the other hand, at difference of range sensors (i.e. sonar or laser) which provides range and angular information, a camera is a projective sensor which measures the bearing of images features. Therefore depth information (range) cannot be obtained in a single frame. This fact has propitiated the emergence of a new family of SLAM methods: The Bearing-Only SLAM methods, which mainly relies in especial techniques for features system-initialization in order to enable the use of bearing sensors (as cameras) in SLAM systems. This thesis is focused on the study of the Bearing-Only SLAM problematic: It gives an extensive overview of the subject. It point out the principal challenges nowadays. And it presents new methods and algorithms which address different sub problems concerning to the Bearing-Only SLAM problematic. These sub problems must be solved, in order to build systems capable of operating in extremely diverse and complex environments. The research described in this dissertation has been divided into three parts: 3DOF Bearing-Only SLAM: The initialization process for new features is perhaps the most important sub problem for addressing in Bearing-Only SLAM. In this part of the thesis we introduce a novel method called Delayed Inverse Depth Features Initialization for a 3DOF odometry-available context. In this method, which uses an inverse depth parameterization, initial depth and uncertainty of each feature are dynamically estimated priors to add the new landmark in the stochastic map. We also present a Sound-based SLAM system, called SSLAM, which uses “Sound Sources” as map’s features. The main contributions of the SSLAM are demonstrating the viability on the inclusion of the hearing sense in SLAM and show that is straightforward to use alternative bearing in SLAM systems. Data association methods for camera-based SLAM: the data association problem is possibly one of the hardest problems in robotic and also one of the most important sub problems to solve in SLAM. The correspondence problem is the problem of determining if sensor measurements taken at different points in time correspond to the same physical object in the world. In this part of the thesis, we propose different methods for addressing the data association problem in a context of vision-based SLAM. 6DOF Monocular SLAM: 6-DOF monocular SLAM possibly represents the harder variant of SLAM, since a low cost hand-held camera is used as the only sensory input to the system. In this part of the thesis, we extend our 2DOF Bearing-Only SLAM algorithm for being used in a monocular SLAM context. Also a novel framework called Distributed Monocular SLAM is proposed for addressing the problem of building and maintaining a global and consistent map of large environments at real time. The key idea is to divide the whole estimation into two concurrent estimation processes. First a state of the art monocular SLAM method (Called Virtual Sensor) is modified as a complex virtual sensor that emulates typical sensors such as laser for range measurement and encoders for dead reckoning. Afterward, a classic SLAM method (called Global SLAM) is plugged in for building and maintaining the final map. Several references, graphics, comparisons, simulations and experiments with real data are presented in order to demonstrate the performance of the methods.

Abstract:

In angle-only target tracking the aim is to estimate the state of a target with use of measurement of elevation and azimuth. The state consists of relative position and velocity between the target and the platform. The platform is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and the tracking system is meant to be a part of the platform’s anti-collision system. In the case where both the target and the platform travel with constant velocity the angle measurements do not provide any information of the range between the target and the platform. The platform has to maneuver to be able to estimate the range to the target.

Two filters are implemented and tested on simulated data. The first filter is based on a Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and is designed for tracking nonmaneuvering targets. Different platform maneuvers are studied and the influence of initial errors and the geometry of the simulation scenario is investigated. The filter is able to estimate the position of the target if the platform maneuvers and the target travels with constant velocity. Maneuvering targets on the other hand can not be tracked by the filter.

The second filter is an interacting multiple model (IMM) filter, designed for tracking maneuvering targets. The filter performance is highly dependent of the geometry of the scenario. The filter has been tuned for a scenario where the target approaches the platform from the front. In this scenario the filter is able to track both maneuvering and non-maneuvering targets. If the target approaches the platform from the side on the other hand, the filter has problems with distinguish target maneuvers from measurement noise.
