Abstract:

<p> Between 1998 and 2018, archaeologists have done progressively more research with outside communities and discussed why they include non-archaeologists in excavations, historical research, and studies of artifacts. Although public archaeology projects share much in common, the diverse methods, theories, and stakeholder groups they work with often remain implicit and, thereby are less likely to enter into disciplinary discourse. This makes it difficult for practitioners to gain a clear purview of the public archaeology movement as a whole, much less understand its various dimensions. There i

Abstract:

My research investigates the aesthetics of visual complexity in the practice and perception of visual art and design. The aim is to understand visual complexity in terms of the relationship between the objective properties of images and subjective properties of perception. I take a computational and empirical approach to this subject, incorporating methods from information theory, computer graphics, complexity theory and experimental psychology. For testing, I create cellular automata programs to generate stimulus images, and borrow other types of visual material from students and professional

Abstract:

Context. There is a need for developers to write clean code and code that adheres to a high-quality standard. We need developers not to introduce technical debt and code smells to the code. From a business perspective, developers that introduce technical debt to the code will make the code more difficult to maintain, meaning that the cost for the project will increase. Objectives. The main objective of this study is to gain an understanding about the perception the developers have about clean code and how they use it in practice. There is not much information about how clean code is perceived

While African Americans show similar rates of mental health concerns, they seek and obtain significantly fewer traditional mental health services (MHS) as compared to other groups. One alternative to traditional forms of MHS is the use of church-based resources, such as pastoral counseling. Pastors frequently report counseling as a large part of their duties. Therefore, their perceptions about mental health have a major impact on services that parishioners receive.

Middle Bronze Age groups are characterised as complex warrior chiefdoms or even proto-states. The thesis examines these interpretations through the detailed characterisation of metallurgical debris.

Despite modern medicine, chronic pain remains one of the major health problems of our time.
