Abstract:

The subject of this thesis is the role of television programme Saturday Night Live (or SNL) in launching the careers of a significant number of Hollywood film stars over the last three decades. Started in 1975, SNL is a 90-minute comedy variety show broadcast live by the American television network NBC. Since its inception, it has employed regular casts of performers to present comic sketches. Several cast members, including John Belushi, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal and Adam Sandler, have converted their exposure on the show into film stardom. In exploring the nature of SNL stars' appeal to Hollywood's filmmakers and audiences, the thesis primarily engages in two areas of debate. Firstly, it seeks to continue historicising what has been termed the "comedian comedy tradition" in Hollywood film. It has been noted that the Hollywood film industry has repeatedly turned to comic performers from other media with already well-defined, popular extra-fictional personas for use as star attractions. Certain consistencies have been found in the industry's approach to converting comedians' appeals for presentation within narrative fiction. However, approaches are also affected by historically specific industrial and social factors. I argue that the stars of SNL were instrumental to the development of a new variant of the comedian comedy tradition. Secondly, I suggest that the most important factor in explaining the nature of SNL's influence is shifts in social and cultural values in America since the 1960s. The personas of SNL stars I examine reflect trends in American public opinion connected to generational change. SNL has now employed cast members from across the baby boom generation (those born between 1943 and 1964) and Generation X (1965 to 1982). To consider the impact of generational factors, my analysis is centred around two case studies, the careers of Bill Murray and Adam Sandler.

Abstract:

This thesis develops a theoretical framework for the analysis of spectator-participation in live art by examining the performance practices of Guillermo Gómez-Peña's La Pocha Nostra, Marina Abramović, and Gob Squad. It explores the potentialities and limitations of participation from all sides of the performance border, drawing on my experiences as a performing-spectator, watching-spectator, and as an artist-collaborator with La Pocha Nostra. Unravelling the relationship between these roles, it reveals how participation can create a new hierarchy amongst spectators. The thesis offers a new way of looking at the phenomenology of participatory live art by determining these encounters as a complex network of contradictory and interdependent relations, underlined by the "paradox of participation": the duality of holding the position of both performer and spectator at the same time. Accordingly, it argues that these performances constitute a "symmathesy" of participation, to use Nora Bateson's term, which should be viewed as a whole experience rather than as a series of parts. Advancing on from "the emancipated spectator", as outlined by Jacques Rancière, the study reconsiders its meaning within live art. In doing so, it demonstrates how ritual, presence and ethics converge to underpin the transformative and emergent processes that foster and manage participation, while acknowledging the way that imposed sanctions serve to uphold the performance. Moreover, it maintains that spectator-participation has developed into a practice in its own right, and charts the birth of a new breed of spectator who anticipates the possibility of co-creation. It recognises several emerging types of participant, namely the "expert participant-spectator" and the more transgressive "dis-spectator". The thesis establishes that participation can offer spectators a licence to act in ways outside of their everyday political and social reality, at the same time; it calls attention to the lack of consideration and after-care given to spectators post-participation.

Abstract:

The night shift environment in an inpatient hospice facility is unique in care and relegates challenging situations for the nursing staff. Using the Parse methodology, the purpose of this project was to explore the challenges faced by inpatient hospice facility night shift nursing staff in providing a continuum of care for dying patients and their families. Nine night shift hospice nurses participated in 45-60 minute interviews. The interviews were conducted in a hospice quiet room or a designated place of comfort for the participant, which allowed for dialogical engagement. The interviews were unstructured with open-ended questions about lived experiences. The interpretive phenomenological approach was used to understand positive outcomes and management involvement and developing positive morale. Descriptive coding was used to collect and analyze data. According to study findings, hospice night shift nursing staff were exposed to the stressors of dying patients, their families, a dissatisfied work environment, and their personal life. The core concepts addressed by the participants were feeling isolated and disrespected, staff development, and using coping strategies. Strong relationships through coping mechanisms were developed on the night shift, but the unmet issues of the staff were poorly regarded. The study perpetuates the need for further research in understanding the experiences of hospice night shift nursing staff and the changes needed to eliminate imminent night shift turnover.

Abstract:

The presented work wants to contribute a new solution based on the analysis of stochastic signals. On the basis of the Dresden Live-Camera-System which is providing real-time information about the traffic state on 31 focal points (March 2005) one is able to use a wide range of image types under different and severe conditions. The method is based on the analysis of stochastic signals derived from the live-camra images. These signals are analyzed with cross-correlation, amplitude- and frequency filters. The resulting data enable the distinction of stable and non-stable traffic flow and the automated identification of traffic congestion. Moreover fundamental diagrams are calculated.
Die vorgelegte Arbeit beinhaltet ein neuartiges Verfahren zur automatischen Ermittlung des Verkehrszustandes aus Live-Kamera-Bildern. Die Datengrundlage dafür liefert das im Rahmen des BMBF-Leitprojektes intermobil Region Dresden geschaffenen Live-Kamerasystem mit 31 Standorten (Stand März 2005). Das entwickelte Verfahren basiert auf der Analyse stochastischer Signale, die aus den Kamerabildern ermittelt werden. Die methodischen Grundlagen des Verfahrens sind Korrelationsanalyse sowie Amplituden- und Frequenzfilterung. Die Rahmenbedingungen für den praktischen Einsatz sind durch die Variabilität von Auflösung und Blickwinkel an den unterschiedlichen Kamerastandorten geprägt. Die ermittelten Messwerte ermöglichen eine Unterscheidung der Verkehrszustände "flüssiger Verkehr", "zähflüssiger Verkehr" und "Stop&Go" und werden am Fundamentaldiagramm interpretiert.

Abstract:

This study aims to refine the current cartographic standards and specifications used by the Australian Defence Force to produce the 1:50 000 scale Topographic Line Map (TLM) so that TLMs can be read with both normal chromatic vision and with achromatic NVG vision. The proliferation and integration of Night Vision Goggles (NVG) into the Australian Army has increased the operating capacity of forces at night. The Australian Army has incorporated NVG into standard operating procedures and training to the effect that Australian military personnel do not operate, at night, without NVG. The increased use of NVG in the Australian Army has required existing systems to be modified or redesigned to be effective within the limitations of NVG. The inability to read TLMs effectively with NVG is an identified problem within the Australian Army. This research has investigated the problems associated with using NVG and the information, which cannot be read on TLMs with NVG. This information was compared to a survey of features on a TLM that are critical for successful military operations. The combined information determined which features on a TLM were to be refined to enable effective reading with NVG. The scope of this research limited refinements to current or previous cartographic standards and specifications used by the Australian Army to produce TLMs. Refinements were limited to symbology, size, and colour and three critical information features of contours, watercourses and vegetation. The problems of cartographic design for a dual vision system (chromatic/achromatic) were investigated and it was determined that the common factor of value contrast exhibits the greatest effect on the refinement process. Prototype TLMs were produced and tested with normal and NVG vision to determine the best cartographic portrayal of the critical information features, without compromising the Figure/ground relationship, balance and cognitive meanings of the TLM. A final product was produced from the prototype experiment results providing a TLM for use with both normal and NVG vision. The refined TLM has changed contours from brown to black without changes to symbology or size and watercourses from 0.1mm width to 0.2mm width without changing colour or symbology. Vegetation was retained at the current standard and specification.

Full text

Abstract:

It has generally been thought that Hannibal was a hostile individual and despised in Roman society because of his non-Roman status and his apparent tendency to be deceptive, cruel and savage. Yet, our understanding of Hannibal as a character is limited. This thesis attempts to address his characterisation through an examination of his night-time military exploits, and argue that our knowledge of Hannibal can be expanded upon by examining how Livy characterised Hannibal in his account of the Second Punic War. Furthermore, this thesis takes a fresh approach to Hannibal’s characterisation, considering Livy’s use of ‘the night’ in association with military activity, and revealing that Hannibal displayed traits that the Romans themselves valued. Thus, Hannibal’s character is developed through a nocturnal military setting, and he becomes comparable to Rome’s finest generals, including Fabius Maximus, Marcellus and Scipio Africanus. Similarly, it is also shown that he exhibited Roman military virtus in place of the traits traditionally thought to be synonymous with the non-Roman. By analysing the character of Hannibal in this manner, we reveal that in Roman thought he was an ambiguous character, whilst simultaneously highlighting how the Romans both perceived and used the night within the context of the army.

Hed, Göran. "Service life estimations in the design of a PCM based night cooling system." Doctoral thesis, KTH, Civil and Architectural Engineering, 2005. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-449.

Full text

Abstract:

The use of Phase Change Material, PCM, to change the thermal inertia of lightweight buildings is investigated in the CRAFT project C-TIDE. It is a joint project with Italian and Swedish partners, representing both industry and research. PCMs are materials where the phase change enthalpy can be used for thermal storage. The Swedish application is a night ventilation system where cold night air is used to solidify the PCM. The PCM is melted in the day with warm indoor air and thereby the indoor air is cooled. The system is intended for light weight buildings with an overproduction of heat during daytime. In the thesis, the results of experiments and numerical simulations of the application are presented. The theoretical background in order design the heat exchanger and applying the installation in thermal simulation software is presented. An extensive program is set up, in order to develop test methods and carry tests to evaluate the performance over time of the PCM. Testing procedures are set up according to ISO standards concerning service life testing. The tests are focused on the change over time of the Thermal Storage Capacity (TSC) in different temperature spans. Measurements are carried out on large samples with a water bath calorimeter. The service life estimation of a material is based on the performance of one or more critical properties over time. When the performances of these properties are below the performance requirements, the material has reached its service life. The critical properties of the PCM are evaluated by simulation of the application. The performance requirements of the material are set up according to general requirements of PCM and requirements according to building legislation. The critical properties of a PCM are the transition temperature, the melting temperature range and the TSC in the operative temperature interval. The critical property of the application is its energy efficiency.

The results of the study show that the night cooling system will lower the indoor air temperature during daytime. It also shows that the tested PCM does not have a clear phase change, but an increased specific heat in the operative temperature interval. Increasing the amount of material, used in the application, can compensate this. Finally, the tested PCM is thermally stable and the service life of the product is within the range of the design lives of the building services. It is essential to for all designers to know the performance over time of the properties of PCMs. Therefore it is desirable that standardized testing methods of PCM are established and standardized classification systems of PCMs are developed.

Abstract:

We compare the predictive ability of Bayesian methods which deal simultaneously with model uncertainty and correlated regressors in the framework of cross-country growth regressions. In particular, we assess methods with spike and slab priors combined with different prior specifications for the slope parameters in the slab. Our results indicate that moving away from Gaussian g-priors towards Bayesian ridge, LASSO or elastic net specifications has clear advantages for prediction when dealing with datasets of (potentially highly) correlated regressors, a pervasive characteristic of the data used hitherto in the econometric literature.

Full text

Abstract:

Although the British and the Americans use the same language, i.e. English, the differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and spelling between these two varieties doubtlessly exist. However, this paper deals particularly with the spelling differences between British English and American English since spelling seems to cause confusion and problems to the learners of English the most. The American spelling is considered to be informal; therefore, the essay focuses on the standard British English spelling of words through, night, light, and high and their equivalents in American English, i.e. thru, nite, lite, and hi. This study investigates how extensively the British and the Americans use the standard and the informal spelling of these words in different written sources such as newspapers, magazines, leaflets and advertisements, and books. In addition, the collocations of these particular words are investigated. In order to do this quantitative research, the Collins Cobuild corpus material was searched and analyzed. The results of this study reveal that the informal American spelling of these four words appears in British texts more often than in American texts. However, the informal spelling tends to appear in non-American sources when speaking about America or American cultural phenomena.

Night work and quality of life are current issues that has been studied by professionals from various fields, because they are topics discussed globally seen as a trend towards meeting the accuracies of population and occupations. The objective of analyzing the scientific literature on the impact of night work on the quality of life of nursing professionals. Used the research methodology with integrative method of gathering, critical assessment and synopsis of the evidence of the subject investigated. The results indicated a relationship of night work with the quality of life, which is related to the observation of basic needs such as housing, leisure, adequate remuneration, better sleep quality, the fact of the professional work in the evening and do not have adequate conditions of rest sleep is impaired. Getting exposed to this change psychobiological vulnerable to mood swings, physical, mental and morbidities affected by night work. Concluded that the present study is to contribute to studies in Brazil, where it was perceived a lack of published studies. The acquired knowledge is very important to continue the research of quality of life of nursing the night.

Die Zusammenarbeit von Merce Cunningham und John Cage beruhte auf dem grundlegenden Prinzip der getrennten Entwicklung und Erarbeitung von Klang/Musik und Tanz/Bewegung (Cunningham 1994). Für den getrennten Arbeitsprozess wurden nur Zeitklammern und die Dauer der Gesamtaufführung als gemeinsame Parameter festgelegt. Diese Trennung von Musik und Tanz bildet die notwendige Voraussetzung für die erweiterte Arbeit der Merce Cunningham Dance Company (MCDC) mit Cage und anderen Composer-Performern in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren, die die elektronischen Klänge live, in der Aufführung, generierten. Der Text untersucht das Verhältnis und die Schnittstellen der beiden Performance-Systeme.

Abstract:

Magister Educationis - MEd
Over the last 15 years the Department of Education has rolled out various projects in an attempt to improve Mathematics and Science results and to increase the amount of learners who exit their schooling with those subjects. The 2010 - 2014 matric results show a decrease in the number of students who exiting with Science. One of the factors that might influence the learners' decision to do science can be ascribed to the methodologies that the teachers are using to teach Science. In response to the latter, this study investigated the cognitive shifts of grade two learners' conceptual knowledge of the day and night cycle after being exposed to a Dialogical Argumentation Based Instructional Model. The Contiguity Argumentation Theory (CAT) and Toulmin's Argumentation Pattern (TAP) were used as a framework to capture and interrogate learners' arguments with argumentation frames developed to categorize the learners’ argument responses. Analytical approaches were used to assess learners' argumentation skills along four stages namely intra-argumentation, inter-argumentation, whole class discussion and trans-argumentation. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods. The data was collected from grade 2 learners in a primary school in Cape Town, Western Cape Province in the form of a pre-post questionnaire, focus group interviews and classroom observation. The major findings of this study indicated that ● The Dialogical Argumentation Instructional model can assist learners to develop argumentative skills. ● The grade two learners in this study had alternative conceptions regarding the day and night cycle which is not scientifically valid. ● The views that learners hold are egocentric. ● DAIM is an effective teaching strategy to help learners to eliminate the misconceptions This study has shown that the Dialogical Argumentation Instructional Model (DAIM) seems to be effective in enhancing the learners’ understanding of the day and night cycle.

This research was developed at the EJA night school in Campo Alegre de Goiás, in order to perceive the relation of the young people to the school, as well as their attributions of how they think and live the youth in the contemporaneity. It was from the narratives of these subjects that we highlight their youthful condition and the relationships they maintain with school and work. We have seen through research already done, and through bibliographies that discuss the theme of youth, that the EJA in recent years, specifically from the 1990s, has undergone a process of change. It is the entrance of increasingly young people to the gates of the night school. Facing this, the following problem was launched: How is youth perceived in an EJA night school in Campo Alegre de Goiás? In this sense, we search in the bibliography authors who discuss the question of youth within the school (Dayrell and Carrano, 2014) and also authors who treat youth in another way as the formation of "tribes", for example, (Maffesoli, 2014). From the narratives of the youth of the EJA, we perceive the meanings attributed by them about the school, a school that, for the majority, comes to an improvement of life and future projects, and for some it is as if this space had another meaning, As a meeting point, in a city that does not always have something to do. Another relevant aspect is that this school of EJA also brings, (and this was noticeable in the interviewees' speech), that it is interesting for them to have a diploma and the sooner the better. So many opted for the EJA.
Essa pesquisa foi desenvolvida na escola noturna de EJA em Campo Alegre de Goiás, na perspectiva de perceber a relação dos jovens com a escola noturna. Foi a partir das narrativas desses sujeitos, que realçamos a condição juvenil deles e as relações que eles mantêm com a escola e com o trabalho. Vimos através de pesquisas já realizadas, e por meio de bibliografias que discutem o tema da juventude, que a EJA nos últimos anos, especificamente a partir da década de 1990, vem sofrendo um processo de mudança. É a entrada de jovens cada vez mais jovens aos portões da escola noturna. Diante disso, foi lançada a seguinte problemática: Como a juventude se percebe em uma escola noturna de EJA em Campo Alegre de Goiás? Nesse sentido, buscamos na bibliografia autores que discutem a questão da juventude dentro da escola (Dayrell e Carrano, 2014) e também autores que tratam a juventude de outra forma como a formação de “tribos”, por exemplo, (Maffesoli, 2014). A partir das narrativas dos jovens da EJA, percebemos os sentidos atribuídos por eles sobre a escola, uma escola que, para a maioria vem ao encontro de uma melhoria de vida e projetos futuros, e para alguns é como se esse espaço tivesse outro significado, como um ponto de encontro, numa cidade que nem sempre tem o que fazer. Outro aspecto relevante é que essa escola de EJA também traz, (e isso foi percebível na fala dos entrevistados), que é interessante para eles ter um diploma e quanto antes melhor. Por isso, muitos optaram pela EJA.

Abstract:

Die Zusammenarbeit von Merce Cunningham und John Cage beruhte auf dem grundlegenden Prinzip der getrennten Entwicklung und Erarbeitung von Klang/Musik und Tanz/Bewegung (Cunningham 1994). Für den getrennten Arbeitsprozess wurden nur Zeitklammern und die Dauer der Gesamtaufführung als gemeinsame Parameter festgelegt. Diese Trennung von Musik und Tanz bildet die notwendige Voraussetzung für die erweiterte Arbeit der Merce Cunningham Dance Company (MCDC) mit Cage und anderen Composer-Performern in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren, die die elektronischen Klänge live, in der Aufführung, generierten. Der Text untersucht das Verhältnis und die Schnittstellen der beiden Performance-Systeme.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Titel: I work all day, I work all night to get the KK-card and skip the line - En kvalitativ studie om studenters motiv till engagemang i studentnationerna i Uppsala. Att ha en ansvarsroll och jobba på en studentnation är att göra mycket arbete för en liten monetär ersättning. Trots den nästintill icke-existerande lönen väljer studenter att arbeta och engagera sig på studentnationen. Men i frånvaro av en ekonomisk ersättning, hur motiverar studenterna sitt arbete? Man kan likna arbetet på studentnationen med volontärarbetet inom hjälporganisationer, men då omtalas arbetet som något som man gör för att stärka sin egen självkänsla bland annat. Detta är ett resonemang vilket skiljer sig från hur man kan se på arbetet på studentnationer, då dessa varken är hjälporganisationer, eller ter sig servera någon annan specifik nytta än i studiesociala sammanhang för studenter. Utöver forskning om volontärarbete finns det inte mycket tidigare forskning som kan kopplas till ämnet, om studentnationer, arbetet på dem, och motivationen som driver studenterna till detta engagemang. Frågeställningen som därmed grundar studien är:  Hur legitimerar de arbetande studenterna sitt arbete inom studentnationen? Den metod som studien baseras på är kvalitativa intervjuer, vilka är semi-strukturerade till formen. Genom intervjuer önskas nå hur respondenten berättar om motiv till sitt engagemang. Intervjuerna är fem till antalet och uppåt 45 minuter långa. De baserades på en förkonstruerad intervjuguide. Det teoretiska ramverk som denna studie bygger på är Ann Swidlers teori om kultur och hur detta kan vara influerande i de handlingsstrategier individer konstruerar för att motivera sina handlingar. Swidler menar på att man som individ har en viss uppsättning verktyg i sin verktygslåda, en viss kulturell kapacitet vilken man kan använda sig av i navigerandet i olika situationer. Teorin används för att förklara de resurser informanterna använder för att motivera sitt engagemang på ett visst sätt och ger svar på varför de legitimerar sitt engagemang så som de gör. Resultatet av studen visar på hur studenterna motiverar sitt arbete genom att använda sig av legitimeringsstrategier. Strategierna är liknande mellan samtliga informantern och man finner även liknelser angående inom vilken situation de använder vilken specifik legitimeringsstrategi. Det ter sig som att det inom den subkultur som studentlivet kan te sig vara så erhåller man som deltagare en ny uppsättning verktyg till sin verktygslåda och förändrar och lär sig nya värderingar vilka ter sig mer viktiga inom kulturen man nu befinner sig i. De framkomna resultaten kan vidare bidra som komplement till den tidigare forskning som finns om bland annat volontärarbete som inte sker som en form av hjälparbete, exempelvis volontärarbete på festivaler eller diverse intresseföreningar.

Abstract:

For my thesis I plan on exploring the concepts and reasons that I make my art. I will talk about how I explore the night as my subject and the emotional response I hope to evoke with my work, and my influences and inspirations while exploring this topic. I will talk about how I try to show how in the modern world we try to take that darkness and drive it back with artificial lights intending to duplicate the world of daylight, but instead we create stages of normalcy in between the depths of the night allowing the individual imaginations of the viewer to dream into the darkness bringing their own experiences and emotions to the images and making an interactive viewing experience. By trying to recreate the mental state where our minds revert to the most primal instincts of fight or flight in the face of the unknown, despite our knowledge of what exists in the daylight, I try to reach a more primal work of art that goes beyond my early influences of the western Romantic art and show how these instincts still deeply affect us in our modern world.

Abstract:

Night of Glass is for chamber orchestra with an estimated performance time of 14 minutes. The instrumentation for the work, using one player per part, is Flute (also small glass wind chimes), Oboe (also 1 tuned water crystal), Clarinet in A (also small glass wind chimes), Bassoon (also 1 tuned water crystal), Horn in F (also 1 tuned water crystal), Trumpet in C (also 2 tuned water crystals), Percussion (Vibraphone, Glockenspiel, Chimes, Bell Tree, Hammered Dulcimer, 3 Suspended Cymbals, 1 Large Tam-tam, 4 Roto Toms, 3 Tympani), Piano, 1st Violin, 2nd Violin, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass, While not programmatic, the work is divided into six sections each expressing a predetermined emotional content: fragility, anxiety, solitude, fear, catharsis, and reconciliation. All are emotional contents which are found in the dream-state that is reflected in the work's title. All aspects of Night of Glass (i.e., pitch material, form structure, and structural density) are centered around the unifying factor of emotional projection within each section. The work seeks emotional content through the expansion of composition procedures while being accessible to listeners.
