Abstract:
Objects are involved in complex overlapping relations of significance and the programme of research examines how the choices and arrangement of significant objects articulates self-identity across discontinuity in life experience. In-depth interviews with migrants and the ancestors of migrants in the living rooms of their homes focus on objects and furniture to examine the role of the object in supporting identity in differing degrees of migratory dislocation. The research investigates the role of the object as both internal and external supports through migration and re-integration through di

Throughout history, people have made or acquired vessels from which to sip their favourite beverage. In the contemporary domestic setting, households frequently accumulate multiples of the same type of object in numbers that are considerably greater than is necessary and practical for use alone. Of these many objects there are often individual pieces that have special significance for the owner or user. Some are so valued that they may even be removed and set aside because of their perceived importance. The research was initiated by a previous study of tea drinking vessels coupled with a d

Evolutionary dynamics arise from the interplay of mutation and selection. Fundamentally, these two processes operate at different levels: Mutations modify genetic information (the genotype), which is passed from parent to offspring. Selection is triggered by variation in reproductive success, which depends on the physical properties (the phenotype) of an organism and its environment. Thus the genotype-phenotype map determines if and how mutations can lead to selection. The aim of this dissertation is to incorporate this map explicitly into a theoretical description of evolutionary dynamics. Th

Abstract:
White matter changes (WMC) seen on CT and MRI brain scans of healthy subjects and of vascular or dementia patients are strongly associated with age. Their pathogenesis is still under debate, and associations with vascular risk factors have varied according to studies. Their prognostic meaning, both in the general population and in stroke patients, is also not completely established. I systematically reviewed the literature on prevalence and associations of WMC and then evaluated CT and MRI scans of the first 8 years of a population-based study of all strokes and TIA in Oxfordshire (OXVASC).

In the following thesis I examine the possible evolutionary significance of behavioural differences associated with liberal and conservative ideological orientations. In investigating the evolutionary significance of these two orientations I have two primary research questions. First, how do liberal and conservative oriented individuals differ in their responses to the same socio-environmental stimuli? Second, do differences in their responses to socio-environmental stimuli represent alternative behavioural strategies for social interaction, specifically adaptive strategies to maximize returns

Abstract:
The central role of calcium ions in the generation of contractile force in the heart has been understood for many decades. In many mammals, a large proportion of the calcium responsible for activation of the contractile apparatus is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), and this release is regulated via many mechanisms. One regulatory factor that has earned much attention in recent years is Nicotinic Acid Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NAADP) and its probable receptor, Two-Pore Channel-2 (TPC2), which is found on the surface of lysosomes. NAADP has been found to function in a wide ra

This diploma thesis deals with the tracking of objects using a robotic manipulator Epson C3 and a color camera. The work describes the basic qualities of the device to be used. The OpenCV library and its wrapper EmguCV are used as software tools for computer vision. It discusses the basic issues and principles of tracking objects in the image and introduces some methods of tracking. These methods have been tested and therefore their strengths and weaknesses, which appeared during testing, are listed here. Furthermore, there is a procedure for calculating the new coordinates of the camera and t

Abstract:
Overconsumption has become a common phenomenon in our contemporary consumer society. Furthermore, overconsumption has repeatedly been pointed out for its negative impact on the wellbeing of both humans and the environment. Alternative consumption and minimalism have, in recent years, become increasingly noticeable as a solution to this problem. The purpose of this study is threefold. First, from a Swedish context provide information on the motives of individuals who choose an alternative consumption or a minimalistic lifestyle, second, how these choices are important to the construction of the

Abstract:
There has existed for many years a memory enhancement technique ("memory pegs") that although having dramatic demonstrable success in some individual cases has not been generally applied in education. The emergence of constructivist epistemology has emphasised the notion that learning occurs as a result of connecting new material with previously learnt concepts. There is, therefore, the implication that effective learning requires some previous knowledge upon which to attach new concepts - and thus realisation of the importance of learning with respect to acquiring factual information as a pre

Es notable que la propuesta de Danto dependa estrechamente de la aceptación del experimento de los indiscernibles perceptivos. Por ello he analizado la concepción de la percepción implícita en la formulación del experimento y he tratado de caracterizar la validez del experimento teniendo en cuenta las posibles concepciones que son compatibles con el. Asimismo he analizado la noción de "mundo del arte" propuesta por Danto como condición necesaria para el arte y, finalmente, he ab

Abstract:
Since its foundation between 1410 and 1414 the University of St Andrews has acquired what can be considered to be ‘artefacts of significance’. This somewhat nebulous phrase is used to denote items that have, for a variety of reasons, been deemed to have some special import by the University, and have been displayed or otherwise presented in a context in which this status has been made apparent. The types of artefacts in which particular meaning has been vested during the centuries under consideration include items of silver and gold (including the maces, sacramental vessels of the Collegiate C

Abstract:
The research is developed through sculptural artworks that seek to raise the question of their being. They do this through their indeterminate presence, which often awakens people to ask ‘What is it?’ I ask how sculpture can encourage people to wonder about what things are, and how the relationship/s we form with art can then lead us to reflect upon our other more worldly relationships. I also pursue the questions of what is sculpture, and what is contemporary art, in order to map out an understanding of the domain of my practice, and the issues at stake regarding the making and displa
