Abstract:
A director's ‘reading’ of the play – the hierarchical implications of which were discussed by Peter Holland in the preceding article – normally begins with just that: a reading, of the printed or typewritten text. Here. Michael Quinn discusses the various factors through which this initial acquaintance becomes a stage production carrying the stamp of the resulting perceptions – some of which go unrecognized, as much by the director as by those who evaluate his work. These may vary from preconceptions (or a lack of them) about the writer himself to the prevailing modes of the director's own work, or from such imponderables as the ‘lingering’ effect of objects on stage whose original function has been fulfilled to the ‘intertextuality’ always present when a play has a previous production history. The author argues not for the impossible elimination of such influences, but for their proper recognition, so that the director may be better aware of the reasons behind the choices he makes in translating a ‘reading’ into a production. Michael L. Quinn has previously published essays on Brecht and Roman Jakobson, and is currently serving as a play-reader for the San Francisco Magic Theater while preparing his doctoral dissertation on the theatre semiotics of the Prague school.

This study focused on the roles five kindergarten teachers assumed to promote literacy. Data were collected through systematic videotaped observations during the children's play periods. Saracho's analysis of the transcriptions in identifying the roles of the teachers suggested teachers' roles in the children's literacy-play include director of instructions (instructing students to follow directions and learn concepts), transition director (directing students to make smooth transitions), supporter of learning (acknowledging and praising students' work to promote learning), storyteller (reading or telling a story and encouraging children to respond), and instructional guide (providing instructional guidance for learning).

Abstract:
Workers in ‘conscientization’ through theatre in the so-called underdeveloped countries tend to assume that this form of theatre work has a potential unique to such circumstances. R. G. Davis, who was founding director of the San Francisco Mime Troupe in the ‘sixties, argues that the poorer sections of the richest nation in the world have no less been deprived of their cultural roots, and here describes his experiences when he was asked to direct a play dramatizing a workplace incident in the cannery town of Watsonville, northern California, when a Mexican worker was appealing for reinstatement against unfair dismissal. A regular contributor to the former Theatre Quarterly, most recently in TQ 40 (1981) on his productions of Dario Forin the USA, R. G. Davis's own version of We Won't Pay, We Won't Pay, was published last year by Samuel French, and he has recently directed a Native American play in San Jose, followed by a Brecht play in Australia.

Abstract:
One of Britain's foremost directors, Katie Mitchell's career embraces a formidable repertoire of play and opera productions. She has a taste for Greek tragedy – her Phoenician Women (1995) won the Evening Standard Best Director Award – and takes in Gorky, Chekhov, Genet, and Beckett, as well as such contemporaries as Kevin Elyot, whose Forty Winks she directed at the Royal Court in 2004. She has worked in Dublin, Milan, and Stockholm, and is an Associate Director at the National Theatre. This interview with NTQ co-editor Maria Shevtsova shows Mitchell's lucid and passionate engagement with her craft. It took place in London in several stages from December 2004 to July 2005, during a period of intense activity for Mitchell. Maria Shevtsova wishes to thank her for so generously giving her time.

Abstract:
This article describes the results of a grounded theory study among terminally ill patients (with a life expectancy of less than three months) at home ( n = 13, aged 39-83). The most commonly recurring theme identified in the analysis is ‘directing’, in the sense of directing a play. From the perspectives of patients in our study, ‘directing’ concerns three domains: 1) directing one's own life; 2) directing one's own health and health care; and 3) directing things related to beloved others (in the meaning of taking care of beloved ones). The patient's directing is affected by impeding and facilitating circumstances: the patient's needs and problems in the physical, psychological and existential/spiritual domain, and the support by family members and providers. Supporting patients and families, stimulating the patients' directing, giving attention to all domains of needs and counselling patients' families in the terminal phase are issues that need attention and warrant further investigation.

Talbot, Christine. "Directing Virtual Humans Using Play-Scripts and Spatio-Temporal Reasoning." Thesis, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10791242.

Full text
Abstract:

Historically, most virtual human character research focuses on realism/emotions, interaction with humans, and discourse. The majority of the spatial positioning of characters has focused on one-on-one conversations with humans or placing virtual characters side-by-side when talking. These rely on conversation space as the main driver (if any) for character placement.

Movies and games rely on motion capture (mocap) files and hard-coded functions to perform spatial movements. These require extensive technical knowledge just to have a character move from one place to another. Other methods involve the use of Behavior Markup Language (BML), a form of XML, which describes character behaviors. BML Realizers take this BML and perform the requested behavior(s) on the character(s). Also, there are waypoint and other spatial navigation schemes, but they primarily focus on traversals and not correct positioning. Each of these require a fair amount of low-level detail and knowledge to write, plus BML realizers are still in their early stages of development.

Theatre, movies, and television all utilize a form of play-scripts, which provide detailed information on what the actor must do spatially, and when for a particular scene (that is spatio-temporal direction). These involve annotations, in addition to the speech, which identify scene setups, character movements, and entrances /exits. Humans have the ability to take these play-scripts and easily perform a believable scene.

This research focuses on utilizing play-scripts to provide spatio-temporal direction to virtual characters within a scene. Because of the simplicity of creating a playscript, and our algorithms to interpret the scripts, we are able to provide a quick method of blocking scenes with virtual characters.

We focus on not only an all-virtual cast of characters, but also human-controlled characters intermixing with the virtual characters for the scene. The key here is that human-controlled characters introduce a dynamic spatial component that affects how the virtual characters should perform the scene to ensure continuity, cohesion, and inclusion with the human-controlled character.

The algorithms to accomplish the blocking of a scene from a standard play-script are the core research contribution. These techniques include some part of speech tagging, named entity recognition, a rules engine, and strategically designed force-directed graphs. With these methods, we are able to similarly map any play-script’s spatial positioning of characters to a human-performed version of the same playscript. Also, human-based evaluations indicate these methods provide a qualitatively good performance.

Potential applications include: a rehearsal tool for actors; a director tool to help create a play-script; a controller for virtual human characters in games or virtual environments; or a planning tool for positioning people in an industrial environment.

Taylor, Shanea. "DIRECTING AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL THEATRE." VCU Scholars Compass, 2009. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/1935.

Full text
Abstract:
This is an exploration of the director's role in autobiographical theatre. The director is in a unique position when storytelling on a personal level is being executed theatrically. I explored this topic over the course of directing three plays, each of which contained a strong personal storytelling element, which broadened my perspective of the director's role. The three plays were Slashtipher Coleman’s The Neon Man and Me, Birth by Karen Brody, and Will Power to Youth Richmond presents: William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Traditionally, the director’s role includes a myriad of tasks. These tasks can include and are not limited to creating pictures on stage that reflect the story being told, coaching actors in their craft specific to the production, vocal and movement coaching, viii creating a concept, interpreting and translating the action, and being the intermediary amongst the creative team in reaching the overall artistic vision. However, when the director is presented with personal stories to shape and mold, this role changes; no longer can the director wear a traditional hat and assume that the story will tell itself through a series of pictures, but now the director dons different hats and accesses other skills that more closely reflect those of mentor, spiritual leader, psychologist, teacher, and friend. This thesis is a narrative of the explorative process that one director experienced when staging these three prototypes of autobiographical theatre.

This thesis is a partial documentation of the process of preparing and rehearsing Temple University Theatre's 2015 production of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, and the ways in which the process was artistically challenging and personally transformative. It is a demonstration of the manifold procedure of discovering action through language in the rehearsal process, the essential relationship of language to behavior in all collaborative practice and both the embrace of constructive conflict and the fundamental exercise of self-reflection as the primary catalysts for artistic development.

Abstract:
This study takes place in the investigation of two aspects. The first was the process of translation and adaptation of the play Razor in the Flesh (1967) by the Brazilian playwright Plinio Marcos to South African English and its respective context, followed by a free adaptation for the context of 2017 in Pretoria. The second aspect was a reflection of the staging process of the same play from the director's perspective in a transcultural environment. Regarding the translation process, I sought in Walter Benjamin�s theory of translation, a translational methodology that could extract the essence of the text, that is, translate, transfer the poetic power of the original work to the new language and to the new context. In parallel with Benjamin's translational theory, I sought in Pavis the understanding of the translational process of the theatrical text and the cultural shift of signs from the original work to the arrival context and the embodied performance. It was a process coordinated from the foreign director�s perspective who seeks to give the conceptual references of his practical work through reflections and quotes from various theorists and theatre directors that served as a basis for research. It is a theoretical and reflexive accompaniment of the phases that made up the staging process of Razor in the Flesh (2017).

Abstract:
A presente pesquisa examina um processo próprio de metodologia de ensaio teatral denominada Teatro Playground. Nesta os atores são colocados em um ambiente de criação (Playground), construído para instaurar o estado de jogo e através deste encontrar as relações e sintonias necessárias à performance. A partir do estudo de exemplos práticos de utilização destes procedimentos na direção de espetáculos e condução de grupos de trabalho, são abordadas questões relativas ao treinamento de atores e diretores de teatro. O objetivo principal desta tese é verificar a reverberação de uma abordagem prática de técnicas relacionadas ao jogo, principalmente sob a ótica de Phillipe Gaulier, Luke Dixon, Anne Bogart e Jacques Lecoq. Examinar os fundamentos de relação que permitirão este jogo, baseados principalmente em Meyerhold, Barba, Grotowski, Stanislávski e Vakhtangov. E perceber até que ponto um grupo de trabalho organizado sob certas premissas lúdicas e psicofísicas pode suavizar rupturas encontradas no decorrer de um processo de ensaio, principalmente quando o espetáculo precisa encontrar uma forma definitiva e a improvisação ceder lugar às marcações de cena.
The present research looks upon an original methodology for rehearsal process called Theatre Playground. In it the actors are put in a creative environment (Playground), built in order to establish a playfulness state and through it find the relationships and right tune needed to the performance. From the study of practical examples, specific procedures on directing shows and conducting theatre groups are taken as possibilities for training theatre actors and directors. The main aim for this thesis is verify the resonance of a practical approach on techniques related to theatre games, mainly according to the vision of Phillippe Gaulier, Luke Dixon, Anne Bogart and Jacques Lecoq. Also getting deep on the foundations that will allow this game to happen, based mainly on Meyerhold, Barba, Grotowski, Stanislávski and Vakhtangov. And perceiving on which level a group of theatre work, organized under specific ludic and psychophysics premises, can soften the ruptures found in a rehearsal process, specially when the show needs to find the fixed forms and the impro has to give place to the final movements on stage

Abstract:
Thermal management becomes a serious concern in computer system. CPU chips are placed into small spaces with difficulty in heat diffusion. This promotes many challenges in the field of thermal management of electronics to maintain the desirable operating temperature. In order to realize the enhancement of dissipation of high heat flux from electronic components, a lot of investigations have been carried out on new cooling technology using phase change phenomena. Since the micro condenser is required in the cooling system, we are directing our attention to the enhancement of condensation heat transfer in the micro system. This study focuses on high performance of dropwise condensation heat transfer due to its small conduction resistance. In the micro systems, the interface phenomena play an important role in heat transfer. We have done dropwise condensation experiments in a high vacuum chamber system to get precise information about the vapor-liquid interface transport phenomena. Surface temperature transients are measured directly with the thin film thermocouples fabricated on the condensing surface.

Full text
Abstract:
The production pattern is a “production composition” which gives the most suitable combination for the physical and ecological characteristics of the arable land. It is determined according to the current and potential demand for agricultural goods- both domestic as well as foreign demand-. Once the product pattern is determined, it will be use as an important data for increasing the efficiency of the agricultural sector, as well as for agricultural planning and for effective use of natural resources. One of the goals of agricultural policies is to establish an “optimal balance” for agricultural producers and consumers via establishing the demand and supply balance on each product level, and to create an “optimal product pattern” by directing this agricultural production. To be able to achieve this goal, “agricultural policies” and among them, especially “agricultural support policies” appears to play an especially important role. In this article, we will first summarize the importance and the general characteristics the agricultural sector and and give a general view of the agricultural policies and their effects on the product pattern. Then we will briefly mention two case studies in how the product pattern is determined; then, we will be discussing the effects of the changes in the climate, population rates and structure and the gradual decrease of agricultural areas on the product pattern.

Directing fibroblast growth is an important step in tissue engineering where the focus has gone from a top-down approach of homogeneously introducing cells into a pre-formed scaffold to a bottom-up approach in which the tissue construct is built on a cell-by-cell basis with ability to manipulate specific cell environments through location, proximity, and geometry. The ability to direct cell proliferation to encourage organized tissue formation can provide tissue engineers a means of controlling the architectural and mechanical properties of soft tissue scaffolds. This approach to functional tissue engineering represents a novel direction for the development of replacement tissues. Previous attempts of directed growth have proven successful with C2C12 mouse myoblast cells. Using laser micromachined channels in agarose hydrogel lined with a basement membrane matrix, myoblast cells were guided to align and produce myotubes [2]. The objective of the current study was to apply similar principals to direct fibroblast cell growth and proliferation, ultimately leading to their growth into three-dimensional fibers, on differentially adherent substrates. Channels (widths ranging from 60 μm to 200 μm) were laser micromachined in agarose gel to explore an optimal geometry for cellular proliferation and fiber formation. The fibroblast cells used range in size from roughly 20–30 μm. Thus, the width of each channel was chosen to explore which multiple of cell width would allow for directional alignment parallel to the channel and subsequent fiber growth. The ability to direct fibroblast cells to align and produce fibers through manipulation of their environment is critical to our laboratory’s ongoing efforts to develop three-dimensional customized tissue replacement constructs to be used in many soft tissue applications such as ligament and skin grafts.

Abstract:
One of the primary objectives of the Petroleum Institute (PI) is to prepare future mechanical engineers to assume successful career paths in the oil and gas industry. Hands-on laboratory skills play a vital role in providing students with a sound understanding of the scientific fundamentals and their application in solving real-life engineering problems. The Institute’s undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum incorporates a one-semester junior level course titled Core Measurements, which is taught in a state-of-the-art measurement laboratory. This course includes two innovative hands-on experiments related to experimental heat transfer and fluid dynamics, with the objective of familiarizing the students, through simple projects, with the characterization of fundamental thermofluid phenomena. Each hands-on project consists of design, fabrication, data acquisition and validation of a simple experiment, with a formal report submitted on completion. Each project is undertaken by groups of four students over a five-week period. The first experiment characterizes conductive heat spread within a heat-source-substrate assembly representative of electronics cooling applications. The effects of heat source foot print, substrate geometry and thermal conductivity, and convective cooling conditions are investigated. The temperature distribution on the source and substrate surfaces are measured using thermocouples and infrared thermography, with substrate thermal resistance calculated and compared with analytical solutions. The second experiment aims to enhance student’s learning of internal pipe flows. Single phase flows in a pipe network are characterized for different flow regimes. The pipe network consists of different diameter lines with valves for regulating and directing the flow to make up various series and parallel piping combinations. The relation between head loss due to fluid friction and velocity, pressure drop empirical laws, valve characteristics, and loss coefficient of fittings are investigated using various pressure and flow measuring techniques, including laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV). The paper documents the experiments and the teaching strategy employed to integrate fundamental theories with hands-on experiences. Sample measurement and analysis results are reported. The effectiveness of the proposed experiments in enhancing student learning of thermofluids, engineering analysis of discrepancies between predictions and measurements, and project management skills is highlighted.

Abstract:
Current additive manufacturing processes mostly accustomed with mono-material process plan algorithm to build object layer by layer. However, building a multi-material or heterogeneous object with an additive manufacturing system is fairly new but emerging concept. Unlike mono-material object, heterogeneous object contains multiple features or inhomogeneous architecture and can be decomposed into two dimensional heterogeneous layers with islands where each island represents associated feature’s properties. The material deposition path-plan in such multi-feature/multi-contour layers requires more resources and may affect the part integrity, quality, and build time. A novel framework is presented in this paper to determine the optimum build direction for heterogeneous object by differentiating the slice based on the resources requirement. Slices are bundled based on the heterogeneity and the effect of build directions are quantified considering the feature characteristics and manufacturing attributes. The proposed methodology is illustrated by examples with 50% or more homogeneous slices along the optimum build direction. The outcome would certainly benefit the process plan for multi-material additive manufacturing techniques.

Abstract:
The Surface Ocean – Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) (http://www.solas-int.org/) is an international research initiative focused on understanding the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere that are critical elements of climate and global biogeochemical cycles. Following the release of the SOLAS Decadal Science Plan (2015-2025) (Brévière et al., 2016), the Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction Committee (OAIC) was formed as a subcommittee of the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) Scientific Steering Committee to coordinate US SOLAS efforts and activities, facilitate interactions among atmospheric and ocean scientists, and strengthen US contributions to international SOLAS. In October 2019, with support from OCB, the OAIC convened an open community workshop, Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions: Scoping directions for new research with the goal of fostering new collaborations and identifying knowledge gaps and high-priority science questions to formulate a US SOLAS Science Plan. Based on presentations and discussions at the workshop, the OAIC and workshop participants have developed this US SOLAS Science Plan. The first part of the workshop and this Science Plan were purposefully designed around the five themes of the SOLAS Decadal Science Plan (2015-2025) (Brévière et al., 2016) to provide a common set of research priorities and ensure a more cohesive US contribution to international SOLAS.

Abstract:
This policy brief examines how co-management arrangements within small-scale fisheries can play a key role in enhancing sectoral and regional resilience. Despite major challenges, “multi-stakeholder collaborations” - such as co-management - demonstrate the potential for innovative knowledge transfer and strategic adaptation processes within the fisheries sector. The focus here is on Co-management Northern Bohuslän (Samförvaltning Norra Bohuslän), which promotes sustainable local fisheries and blue growth on Sweden’s west coast. The case illustrates how, under appropriate conditions, participatory local efforts can significantlycontribute to sustainability and resilience. The policy brief presents findings on related challenges and opportunities, including recommendations on future directions for the co-management initiative itself, and more general suggestions for co-management as a means to promote sectoral and regional resilience in the Nordic region.

Abstract:
In this paper we investigate how the fiscal authorities, through tax policies or fiscal incentives, can play an important role in supporting digitalisation of the economy (digital transformation) to exploit its opportunities. Our approach is to track the influence of these policies indirectly through relevant determinants of internet adoption (connectivity and user enablers). Hence, we first establish empirically the influence of these enablers on internet use by estimating a reduced form equation of determinants of internet adoption (both demand- and supply-side factors). Then we assess the influence of a country’s fiscal policy stance on some of these enablers or determinants (direction and extent) throughout the internet value chain. Using these transmission mechanisms, we estimate the influence of the fiscal regime on digitalisation. We draw on our own empirical analysis and other relevant studies to support our recommendations to the fiscal authorities. Our findings emphasise the importance of trade-offs between short-term revenue objectives and the longer-term opportunity costs of higher revenue, enabled by the large positive externality effects of the sector, generating higher social returns than those accruing privately.

Abstract:
This report describes an online course developed to support education systems to build an aligned and sustainable approach to integration of 21st Century Skills (21CS). 21CS are those skills that are considered particularly important to succeed in today’s knowledge-based society in which innovation and technology are predominant. Prominent examples include critical thinking, creative thinking, and collaboration, and such skills need to be better understood in order for them to be integrated. While different countries may have their own frameworks or priorities surrounding 21CS, a consistent approach to integration can still be achieved with a shared understanding from all stakeholders within the system. The course objectives focused on supporting countries to develop a strategic plan for 21CS integration, providing resources to aid that plan, and building capacity to implement the plan. The specific learning objectives were to: Understand components and steps leading to 21CS alignment; Conduct a needs analysis, identifying which steps are currently being met, and which steps need more attention; Develop a strategic plan, identifying which steps are to be prioritized and in which order; Gain insights from other education systems from reflections on successful developments and lessons learned; and Engage in discussion within education systems and with other countries about the emerging area of skills integration, as well as identify future directions. Course participants joined from across 16 Asia Pacific countries and from the Education Quality and Assessment Programme for the Pacific Community (EQAP). The course comprised of eight modules that were spread over three weeks, with content hosted online through the Moodle platform.Each module consisted of pre-recorded video content (30-60 minutes) and team and/or individual activities. The modules were supported by three live sessions that allowed participants to ask questions and share reflections in real time. The course concluded with a webinar that consisted of presentations that were delivered by one member from each Core Strategy Team who shared their team’s strategic plan and reflections from this course.

Abstract:
Evidence-based practice is often encouraged in most service delivery settings, yet a substantial body of research indicates that service providers often show resistance or limited adherence to such practices. Resistance to the uptake of evidence-based treatments and programs is well-documented in several fields, including nursing, dentistry, counseling, and other mental health services. This research brief discusses the reasons behind provider resistance, with a contextual focus on mental health service provision in school settings. Recommendations are to attend to resistance in the preplanning proposal stage, during early implementation training stages, and in cases in which insufficient adherence or low fidelity related to resistance leads to implementation failure. Directions for future research include not only attending to resistance but also moving toward client-centered approaches grounded in the evidence base.

Full text
Abstract:
Wide-angle parabolic equations (WAPEs) play an important role in physics. They are derived by an expansion of a square-root pseudo-differential operator in one-way wave equations, and then solved by finite-difference techniques. In the present paper, a different approach is suggested. The starting point is an extra-wide-angle parabolic equation (EWAPE) valid for small variations of the refractive index of a medium. This equation is written in an integral form, solved by a perturbation technique, and transformed to the spectral domain. The resulting split-step spectral algorithm for the EWAPE accounts for the propagation angles up to 90° with respect to the nominal direction. This EWAPE is also generalized to large variations in the refractive index. It is shown that WAPEs known in the literature are particular cases of the two EWAPEs. This provides an alternative derivation of the WAPEs, enables a better understanding of the underlying physics and ranges of their applicability, and opens an opportunity for innovative algorithms. Sound propagation in both motionless and moving media is considered. The split-step spectral algorithm is particularly useful in the latter case since complicated partial derivatives of the sound pressure and medium velocity reduce to wave vectors (essentially, propagation angles) in the spectral domain.

Full text
Abstract:
In accordance with European Directive 2003/99/EC on the monitoring of bacteria that can pass from animals to humans and cause disease, Member States are obliged to ensure that procedures are in place to monitor and report on the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in such bacteria. The UK continued to be subject to EU rules during the transition period up to the end of December 2020. The requirements state that 300 retail chicken meats should be tested by culture for the bacterium Escherichia coli. E. coli bacteria are a normal part of the gut flora of mammals and as such can be useful “indicators” of AMR in gut bacteria. Whilst some strains of E. coli can cause disease, most strains of E. coli do not cause observable disease in healthy animals and humans. Addressing the public health threat posed by AMR is a national strategic priority for the UK, which has led to both a 20-year vision of AMR (Opens in a new window)and a 5-year (2019 to 2024) AMR National Action Plan (NAP)

Abstract:
This study examines science diplomacy in Austria. ZSI was commissioned by the BMBWF between February and September 2021 to research how science diplomacy is currently understood and implemented and how the concept can be better anchored and promoted in Austria. Using literature and desktop research, an online survey, interviews and a focus group, this report answers the following key questions: how does the Austrian science diplomacy ecosystem looks like, who are its actors, what are the challenges and how could they be addressed? The complex task of presenting the current practical implementation of science diplomacy was carried out in this study in a survey that includes more than 150 actors and ranks them according to their importance in the system. Interviews with representatives of these organizations revealed that the term is well known. The actors note that they are already carrying out activities in the direction, and are also interested in intensifying this. However, there are concerns about using the term without a specific context. Accordingly, the concept is often not explicitly mentioned in institutional presentations and activities, and practices are often in other contexts. Furthermore, actors in the system are of course aware of each other, but there is no exchange on the topic of science diplomacy in particular. The corresponding (explicit) competencies and financial resources are lacking. This study also includes case studies that look at other countries' approaches: Perspectives from Japan, Finland, and Switzerland on science diplomacy are described. These and outstanding practices from other countries, as well as interviews and findings from a focus group with Austrian stakeholders, inspire five recommendations that conclude the report.
